Its almost like learning from the past and adapting behavior for optimal results is a good thing. Or you could just shoot at rocks under concord protection all day and hope the bleating gets you something. Or you could spam the forms and hope your bleating gets you something. Oh the goons do that already  You pubbies started it, you should have known better than to start a forum war against a forum community.

I really wish voting was monitored by a third party. I do vote, everyone I know votes, all our alts vote, and not one of them voted for a single goon. Granted, that's hardly proof, and frankly I'm eternally suspicious of CCP since they regularly manipulate the sandbox, then claim necessity or pretend it was an accident, and alternatively admit/deny their association with major alliances, who typically directly benefit from CCP actions and/or foreknowledge of CCP plans that the rest of us are not privy to. CSM minutes? Sure, once everything in them are long over. New pirate ships? Yes, available everywhere, but cheaper for Goonswarm! Elections? All goon votes count double. and their serfs better vote their way if they know what's good for them! The tinfoil in this post is several meters thick and reinforced with even more tinfoil.
so... don't stick it in the microwave? |

Time for a quick history lesson:
The ONLY alliance to ever bring down the forum by spamming threads until the forum software died? Goonswarm.
Now, you were saying?

Fixed.
The simple solution would be for one vote per player, as opposed to one vote per account. |

I suspect that goons try to take credit where none is due.
We find an overpowered or exploitable game mechanic. :ccp: keeps ignoring the problem. We run that **** into the ground and smugpost about it on the forum and our CSMs tell :ccp: to fix it. :ccp: fixes it and predictably takes our stuff away. |

There are occasional agree with goonswarms position, goons will be the death of eve.
Two basic reasons for this:
One, eve requires conflict. Any sufficiently large alliance has a chilling effect on large scale conflict, no matter how PvP oriented, simply by nature. The bigger and more obviously favored the alliance and it's assorted hangers on are, the fewer competitors will attempt to confront them.
Eve would be better served if alliances were hard limited at about 500 characters. It would only delay things, but it would hamper the rise of the sort of super alliances we see in other servers, and that goonswarm and it's allies are gradually evolving into
Eventually it reaches a point where the only scenario in which a viable adversary comes along is something like happened in China where the super alliance splits due to internal drama.
The second reason is that goons generally have an 'Us vs Them' view of High sec, and promote a agenda to pretty much nerf high sec into non existance. The reality is for Eve to continue to flourish and attract new players, both areas have to be developed equally. The basic truth is that players quit rather than change their play styles when a game tries to force it on them, and CCP needs income. So high sec needs love just as much as null does in order for the game to continue to be developed. You can claim that eve is better off without those players, but CCP is not better off without that subscription money.
A lot of people might diss Dinsdale, but the overarching tendency to favor nullsec more and more is getting pretty marked, and it's going to eventually reach a tipping point where people start unsubbing. Maybe not all at once or right away, and I can't say if his numbers are right, but think on this: server concurrency has been stagnate for some time, reguardless of subscription numbers. Worse, in the same stretch, other games concurrency have been increasing.
Hell, TOR has even made bigger gains, percentage wise. |

Is it really so ******* hard for you people to understand that actually ******* voting will generally increase your chances of seeing the candidates you want get elected?
Maybe you should suggest that CCP should use a new voting system for CSM10: the Single Transferrable Whine system. For every petulant, entitled, self-centred and useless post you make - on any forum - about the CSM process, you get a vote. This system should ensure your hegemony in eternity.
If you mouthy oxygen thieves put 1% of the effort into participating that you do into complaining about not winning when you, er, didn't participate, you'd crush the goons and hear the lamentations of their waifus.
But no.
For a year I have had to read over and over and over again the same old complaint "CCP expect me to actually put some effort into researching who I want to vote for and then as well expect me to go to all the trouble of voting again. And also other people are allowed to vote for people I don't like, what the hell? A bloo bloo ******* hoo."
Well here's the truth, buttercups: the following people are glad as hell that all you do is cry instead of voting:
(1) Me (2) People who care about the game

Um, Malcanis, that was sort of the point. Everyone I knew voted AGAINST the guys we got, and goons pointed out that it DID NOT MATTER because their alliance and co voted that way, and that was 30k votes. |

In which case, democracy is working.
Get more friends, and get organized. That or kiss the ring, your choice.
But quit crying about "my vote didn't matter". Whether it does or not is up to you. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

So you failed to organize enough people? You could talk to people outside of your alliance and alts, you could get people interested. You could try to reach people that might not have even known that there was an election. |

So yeah, here's the thing.
I've just come back from FanFest X. I had a really good time*. I went to some panels and presentations and whatnot (btw: apologies for the craptastic CSM panel; there was supposed to be a presentation and stats and facts and such, but there was apparently a technical difficulty, so we got stranded in "So... er... any questions?" mode). I spent most of my time talking to other EVE players. Not just devs, not just CSM people, mostly just ordinary EVE (and some DUST) players.
Here's a thing I discovered that you need to know: there are players out there who genuinely like this game. They're able to combine scepticism with enthusiasm. They can see the upsides of change as well as downsides. You can discuss development with them, and even people who are worried that their current profession is threatened or challenged can have a sensible conversation about how to adapt and even profit.
It's possible.
Who knew?
