As much as I hate most of the top-5 this and that threads, I think this might be an interesting topic.
Who do you think are the people who can affect things in EvE in a larger scale? They might be alliance/big corp leaders, rich geezers who can take over markets or hire every mercenary out there, ruthless back-stabbers or thieves, or even forum slappers who people and devs listen to.
If you would want something done, who would you turn to?

Looky here
though imo - too much fame is given to forum *****s over those who keep their game ingame.

There are three groups of people.
1. The [23]. I.e. the people who influence opinion on the forums.
2. The leaders. Foyle, etc.
3. The infamous. Tank CEO, Viceroy, Istvaan Shogaatsu, etc.
They each affect different portions of the EVE community in different ways.
Some have became so famous that they are nearly household names in EVE. Such as Foyle, and Istvaan.

Istvaan, Lord zap and Tank CEO are the most famous. The most influential? Trigger... foyle.... really depends on what game you've been playing... you'll become aware of many more influential people if your out if low sec and 0.0 than if you stay in high sec space.

Yeah, but that thread concentrates on 'who have influenced you the most in the history of EVE'. I was more interested in 'who do you think are the most influential people right now, this very moment?' Who would you want on your side if you wanted the 75mm gatling nerfed? Who would you want on your side if you wanted to replace the leadership of PIE?
Edit: And ofc most players know the obvious nominations and reasons for them. I was hoping to see some less obvious choices with good reasoning behind it.

Although I know he's quit, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Duke Droklar. I understand he had quite an effect.
CYVOK has as well - he's been a great CEO and an effective lobbyist on some changes, so far as I understand :)

The most influential players/organizations in EVE are not the folks who go around flaunting it on the forums. Remaining inconspicuous in this game presents several advantages... namely, being successfully influential.
Big names = popularity contest. This isn't high school.

After several months this one still has me pondering, what on earth are the 23 exactly? Ive seen people claim membership, try and guess who the 23 are, guess what the 23 actually do, but nobody seems to know for sure 
Are they simply the 23 most infuencial people? Who made the list? Where is the list?

The most influential people in eve today are clearly the leaders of the major alliances/PvP factions, and some of the more notable production folks like the leaders of NAGA, and a handful of random forum *****s and of course a few notable pirate types. I don't know the names, but it wouldn't take long to come up with a pretty comprehensive list just by seeing who's in charge of the various powerful PvP/Alliance/Production organizations in eve.

The most influential are always the ones that do not know it.
Attention mongers are the most infamous. Influentials merely inspire others through actions of their own.

There are a number of threads around.
An alt (possibly Derisor's) posted a while back with a whine about how his horrible ideas always got shot down by the same 23 people (Rod Blaine, me, and others). The number was completely random and off the top of his head.
But the name stuck.
Nosferatu, me, Rod Blaine, and a few others are stated members of the [23], but you can include whoever you want as long as they post 30-50 times a day and are anti-whiner  .
Its almost a giant bad joke.
Its not the 23 most influential though. That would be probably the 2nd and 3rd category--the leaders (Foyle, CYVOK, Xirtam, etc), and the infamous (Tank CEO, Lord Zap, Viceroy, Istvaan).
