Come on, I too can create a bunch of forum alts and post IN CAPS all over the forums. It doesn't prove anything.

Also, you seems to be....somewhat mad about a video game. Go out, take a deep breath, it helps

You might want to think about something like trains. You know, peoples complain when trains are late right ? They'll complain. When trains arrives right on time, they won't go all "Hurray nice job you did there !" because it's normal. It's how it's supposed to be. Deal with it.

Funny hows it only idiot goons posting cry baby tears - keep deep throatng mittani its hilarious....goons just keeping look stupid...

Confirming that I am satisfied with the CSM as it stands now. They represent the interests of those who care enough about the game to be bothered to spend 5 minutes voting(that was a long freaking list of candidates)

Why would CCP care about the opinions of those who don't care enough about the game to speak up?

Because those "uninterested people" are the bulk of the subs who keep EVE alive by paying for it ... .and subs have been decreasing ... so it would be in CCP's best interest to focus on them - and not let the CSM overly influence anything.

(...) Once the vote is done, we live with the consequences.

Next election those who don't like the current mix (which includes me) need to make sure we vote for a difference, but the current crop as voted in should serve their term of office and represent those who elected them. That's what democracy is.

Not really, we do have Impeachment.

Yes, once it can be proved that the elected official has broken terms of office, but not when we just don't like them or what they are doing.

There is a big difference between the 2 points and most of what I am seeing on these post is 'I don't like them and the way they play'. 'CSM is unbalanced towards Null' and some unsubstantiated comments.

If someone has proof of a member of CSM breaking their terms, fine, kick that person out. If not this is just looking like a witch hunt. Though halloween may almost be upon us, innocent until proven guilty is still the principle I'll stick with.

Some of what CSM have been involved in I do not like, but other things I do. Some play their characters in a way I don't like, other don't. But none of that is grounds for impeachment.

Not at all! Impeachment can be due to the people losing faith at their elected representative. And honestly only a few criminal motivated Impeachments were actually proved, most of them had no proof at all of illicit activities. Nevertheless the ones in power were taken off their position. Basically, like I said, people lost their faith and took them out.
That is the Democracy you so proud speak off, the +¦+++++++¦-ü+¦-ä+»+¦ "rule/power of the people".

+1 to Tallian Saotome for saving me the trouble of correcting him

How many presidents to you think were impeached?...

Also, what you are describing isn't an impeachment, its a vote of no-confidence.

If you believe such a thing should exist, I suggest getting ahold of your CSM delegate, and have the bring it up with CCP
(actually, I bet if you picked the right one to approach to advocate this, it actually would get brought to CCP, and might happen)

Hey, Trebor is the primary Highsec CSM, correct?

(Your doing great Trebor, as is everyone on the current CSM, but if your constituents are gonna turn it into a highsec vs nullsec smear campaign, I think some ******** over the top statements might need to be made)

I view myself as a CSM who tries to treat all areas of the game equally. As such, I particularly push for resources to be allocated to things that help the 99, so to speak -- UI, industrial infrastructure, etc. The whole point of the crowdsourcing is to help make those allocation decisions more efficient.

I think the first step to getting the random "little guy" high sec pilot to become interested in the CSM is to make the campaign and election totally someting "in game". I should vote in game, I should be constantly reminded IN GAME there is an election and tie voting to getting something, like the "election shuttle". Randomize the order of the candidates when you are presented who to vote for and at least the argument that the "care bear" block doesn't vote because the they don't "forum" goes away.

Get the CSM election in game and then you can't not know about it.

Well then, who is the highsec rep? I know SOMEONE came out a while back as primarily advocating highsec interests.

PS. Hey Trebor, did you hear they are making a Wizardry MMO? wut?

And if Goons are gaming the system, well EVE is a PVP game so game them back, beat them at their own game then.

...listen to the WHOLE community...

Instant 8000 man alliance and a nice region going spare? Oh and a few hundered wouldnt go a miss.

Seriously silly comments like this make me very angry stop talking out of your ass man

Fair enough, I'll add my voice then: I have no problem whatsoever with the current CSM and I feel that they're doing a fine job. Please do not remove them.

You talk like you're unable to form an 8000 man alliance.

Its a lot easier than you think.

For Love. For Peace. For Honor.

For None of the Above.

For Pony!

They won't be removed "now"
Lets just wait until the end of the year to see what Himlar has in mind for them.
