IGÇÖm writing this post because if IGÇÖm correct there should be presidential election in the Federation at the end of this year, Jacus Roden assumed office GÇ£At 16:08 on January 18 YC112GÇ¥ and the presidential term lasts five years and that means that elections should be held at the end of this year.
And I have been wondering does the Live Events team plans to do something this year with it or we will get news articles only ?
And a question to older players about last elections, I know there was some king of event done related to it, could you describe it and how can it be improved if they would want to do a similar format.

Lol, Roden should try a power grab, turn Gallente into the evil dictatorship of terror, meanwhile Heth of Caldari State dies of a completely natural cause and his successor, A Rogue Drone carrying a copy of the mind of Otro Gariuhi, uses the immense ressources acquired through all the taxes from Jita 4-4 to transform the Caldari State into the haven of hope for all those that fled the Gallente federation.
High Tech Haven of hope with rumors of missing people. 
After lots of scheming and plotting we later then learn that the rogue drones were secretly harvesting human brains and Roden had to turn the Gallente Federation into a Dictatorship to be able to effectively oppose the Drones in the silent war that raged in the past few years and only with the help of Sansha's Nation (who are also secretly the good guys) they can finally win. EDIT: Win in a not satisfying kind of way that paves the way for the "return" of now Rogue Drone Tibus Heth with a powerful android body disguised as human, fuelled by stolen Concord Tech. 
Would totally watch that if it were on TV.  Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I think a Gallente election could be run quite easily leveraging some already-existing infrastructure that CCP has already built.
So, for those who are resident in the Gallente Federation (that are a member of a corporation that is headquartered in Gallente territory, whether a player or NPC corp), the location of the headquarters could determine which "district" the individual lives in. For the sake of simplicity, a coarse measure such as a district being the equivalent of a constellation, might be best.
During the voting period, each qualifying Gallente voter would receive a choice of ballot via the gift redemption system that has been used for holidays and other landmarks in the past. The player would select the person that they are voting for. It would be a simple matter to tally the ballots cast for each candidate by district, and then declare a winner. It might also mean that some of the membership of the Gallente Senate would then be determined by the players as well, through a proportional slate system associated with the proportion of votes cast for each Presidential candidate.
Well, that's an idea to leverage existing tools, but perhaps CCP would go the custom route.
I hope the Revs push ahead with an election... what's the point of having selected membership in the only democratic faction if we do not have elections? The problem with slavery is that only half of the manacles are visible. The Holder, supposed master, is equally bound by the gilded chains of privilege and wealth. Sorrowful is the state of humanity, which shall never be free until all share equally in Liberty.

Well, that is true unless those in charge of the story arc elect to involve the player base. One reason to do so is to take that as a general measure of reactive sentiment... that is, how an observer of the developing story feels (or does not feel) motivated by the story, political rhetoric, and their place in the universe.
CCP did do this once, near the beginning of Eve's existence although it took them a whole to sort through the results. I hope they choose to do so again. The problem with slavery is that only half of the manacles are visible. The Holder, supposed master, is equally bound by the gilded chains of privilege and wealth.

You could do that, except as capsuleers we are a niche voting group who care about vastly different things to planet bound people who are in the majority. Meaning our votes would be based on a totally different criteria and thus obviously not representative. Assuming they even consider us still citizens given the amount of freedom from borders we have. |

The event as it were last time was Jonny Damordred's "Why the hell not?" campaign of presidency, where he had a rally day which involved a large number of pilots lagging the hell out of Luminaire trying to blow up the Shiigeru.
Further lagged by a large number of pro Caldari pilots remote repping it.
Further lagged by a smaller number of reckless Federals suicide ganking the Caldari pilots.
Further lagged by the ton of CONCORD these acts generated.
And a lot of chat in local. Fun times.

It happened in game, even if the attack was futile it was a player run event (and the only in game event regarding the elections) with a story behind it that facilitated discussion pre and post marker.
Also the attack did pretty minimal damage. It depends on whether you mean "lore" as in "this was a CCP run PF event" or lore as in "I was there."

Yea, Player Run events are different from Live Events. (Though a Live Event can be player run if CCP recognises it as part of the lore, but I don't believe that happened in this case) Hence why there are two entirely separate forum area's for the two types of events.
Meaning it's not a recognised part of EVE's actual history in terms of the storyline, just a 'hey we went and did this thing because game mechanics let us pretend to do it at the time' thing. I mean, standing orders were to nuke the Gallente on the planet if attacked. It just wasn't automated to actually nuke the planet as an actual in game thing, which.... is very fortunate for a great many citizens on said planet. As amusing as it would have been to see all the 'oh *****' when they saw it nuke Caldari Prime because they shot at it.

I'm well aware of the difference. OP asked what the event was, I answered his question.
Though I think you're putting too much stock on the idea that the titan would fire at Caldari Prime, when it was under Caldari occupation... populated with Caldari citizens. But I digress.

Roughly 106,467,000,000,000 (106.476tn) approximately...
and of those... 19,991,000,000,000 (19.991tn) live in the Federation.
and of those... 14,362,000,000,000 (14.352tn) are eligible to vote.
Capsuleers are less than a grain of sand on a beach. 
With regards to the elections, I'd love to do something for them, but I'm unsure if we have the bandwidth to be perfectly honest.
I'll speak with a few people next week.

Might is right! I think they have a fair few of those in the real Gal navy also, rather than the tiny amount that turns up in game to allow us to actually have functional game play :) |

More RP and gameplay integration would be cool. There's plenty of players who claims to be Amarr Holders, Caldari shareholders, or own X planetside assets and companies. It would be cool if that could be more than just words on a screen. |

Roughly 106,467,000,000,000 (106.476tn) approximately... and of those... 19,991,000,000,000 (19.991tn) live in the Federation. and of those... 14,362,000,000,000 (14.352tn) are eligible to vote. Capsuleers are less than a grain of sand on a beach.  With regards to the elections, I'd love to do something for them, but I'm unsure if we have the bandwidth to be perfectly honest. I'll speak with a few people next week. 
As long as something happens tbh. Even just a single news post announcing the victory of the candidate would be better than nothing. |

But I would think a few ingame news articles would be great to set the mood a bit before a winner is announced for the elections.
In the past, ingame news articles published by CCP were usually a nice catalysator to energize RP/actions from certain groups & blocs, which in turn makes eve feel more alive in the end.

I would very much like to get involved on the player-side of any RP activity surrounding the Gallente Federation, whether it's stirring the pot by throwing my character's weight behind a certain candidate, or running in the election or whatever.
I've been putting a few (minor) things into action on the player side, but RL has kept me out of the game a lot more than I want these past two weeks.

So HUGE question for CCP.
Granted I am not a Gallente role-player, so my opinion wouldn't matter much in this matter lore-wise, BUT: Are the actions of players in game and especially the postings of Gallente players in IGS going to in any way influence what is going on with this election? I know the capsuleer population is relatively minor compared fo the regular population and IGS a fraction of the capsuleer population, but politics are influenced by money and capsuleers have lots of it, and I would think SOME capsuleers would have notoriety planetside that would make people listen to what they say about who should be elected. |

According to the lore, capsuleers have strong cults of celebrity in every major empire (and there's no empire more obsessed with celebrity than the Federation) and various communications companies sell read-only access to the IGS. Basically, anyone who professes strong pro-Federation sentiment on the IGS and/or has had significant involvement in something related to the Federation (the live events, FW, etc.) would probably have notoriety with Federal citizens.
That'd mean there are at least a dozen people I could name off the top of my head who have strong notoriety.

Sure, but how do you actually measure it in any meaningful way. If you want to have influence on an election there needs to be some meaningful way of measuring said influence other than 'well I RP that I have this cult across 10 worlds so I have lots of influence'. |

They could look at who has been most active in live events and or IGS, who has been most active supporting the Federation (high milita rank and/or high standings with the Federation and federation corporations), or even likes received on the forum.
There's plenty of different methods, and of course I would not say that a few people should definitely decide by themselves what happens, but if say, MOST of the Gallente who regularly post on IGS were to say they don't want Roden to be elected again, then if CCP DOES decide to reelect him, the news post will make note that it was a close election or somesuch, whereas if most of them show their support maybe the news posting will mention a landslide victory with capsuleer support. |

It's the middle of christmas vacation, and the vast majority of the team are taking several well earned weeks of vacation.
Bear in mind when you're criticising, that the vast majority of the "lore team" are volunteers from within CCP, and work on this outside their regular working hours, while still having a 40+ hour week to work in their main roles.

Made a report based on the newsarticle released about the list of candidates.
Gallente Presidential elections have begun!
Jacus Roden is easy, we know him, has a wikipedia entry and such. Some searching gives you lots of info.
Celes Aguard, less known, but did run against Jacus Roden in previous elections, failed when the 'No-Vote!-bill passed, causing her withdrawal.
Shaileen Ramnev I feel is the outsider that can shake things up if CCP likes. While there's no info on her, the fact she's a former Major of Arcurio & a resistance fighter on Caldari Prime means she's the most interesting of the 4 'new/unknown' candidates. Could perhaps shake things up with the State if Shaileen gets into those publicly broadcasted discussions with other presidential candidates, forcing them to reveal their stance on State diplomacy & politics.
Remember, Militia wars are a thing!
The other 3 candidates don't seem to be anything serious. I could be wrong ofc, but sadly searching for info regarding them, comes up blank, with exception that 'Idama' is also an Intaki title/honorific, could be a hint that Eniaron Idama is Intaki.

I like what has been done as far as content with the introduction of candidates. I see a lot of potential for dynamic stories with these characters, and hope this isn't the last we hear of them.
Does anyone have any idea when the actual election date is? I've got ideas for in game activities, but it is hard to plan when you don't have any clear timeline.
By the way, having worked on some large political campaigns in the real world... basically everything is planned around "E Day." If you want to see emergent gameplay and players participating in the process, doing the kinds of things that political players do in reality, that piece of information is the most important one. |

I'm not sure how, maybe I saw the original news story and then promptly forgot about it in the hectic holiday season. Maybe I didn't see it at all, because I haven't been super active over the last few months. Obviously if I'd been paying better / more attention I'd have been better informed.
It is kinda disappointing that we had the announcement, but then nothing as far as information about the candidates until the week of Election Day.
It would have been much better if CCP had released the names / basic info about the candidates back in November. Players would have been able to debate, organize in game events, and make the election a reason to actually do something other than post on the IGS for a week. |

BREAKING NEWS GÇô RODEN SUCCESS IN BID FOR SECOND TERM! 2015-01-30 22:14 By CCP Falcon
VILLORE GÇô In the last hour the Scope has learned that --->>> Jacus Roden <<<--- has been re-elected as President of the Gallente Federation, with a relatively narrow lead over media favorite Shaileen Ramnev in the final election count.
Confirmation of the presidentGÇÖs successful bid for a second term came in the form of a public address from on board Senate Headquarters in orbit of the sixth moon of Villore Seven. The results of the election were announced by Head Senator Andon Gardieu, in a broadcast to trillions across the Federation from the traditional location on the steps of the Senate Chamber.
President RodenGÇÖs victory appears to have surprised a number of independent political polling groups, who had published results just days ago to show that popular opinion appeared to favor Remnev in most of the densely populated core region of Essence, including the core constellations of Crux, Arand, Patrie and Thoulde.
It would appear however, that President RodenGÇÖs platform of continued increases in funding for defense and security, along with further investment in strengthening of the Tripwire Border Protection Program have swayed opinion significantly in continued times of conflict with the State, and strained relations with the Republic since the death of Karin Midular in May YC115.
Analysis from voting demographics indicates that his views on further bolstering of Federal security, as well as preservation of culturally and historically important sites within the Federation tipped the voting balance in the border regions of Solitude, Placid and Sinq Laison, with many political analysts believing this to be the key to his victory.
Roden secured a solid 54.2% of all votes cast, down 4.5% on his previous victory over Governer Celes Aguard in the YC111 election. RodenGÇÖs victory was followed closely by his closest challenger, Shaileen Ramnev, who collected 39.7% of all votes cast. Third in the running for election was Federation-born Vherokior artis Kelen Ontbad, who secured 5.1% of votes cast, with the remaining votes dispersed among other candidates.
When contacted for comment by The Scope, Shaileen Ramnev appeared in good spirits, unphased by election defeat and smiling as she offered her congratulations to President Roden, commenting that GÇ£while my bid for presidency wasnGÇÖt successful this time around, IGÇÖll continue to do my part for the people of the Federation, and make every day count. ThereGÇÖs always YC122.GÇ¥
Meanwhile in Villore, President Roden lauded his fellow candidates, paying particular attention to Ramnev, commenting that GÇ£while Miss Ramnev may not have succeeded in her bid for the presidency this time around, it will be a pleasure to work with her going forward, and my admiration for her unfaltering dedication to the Gallente people remains as strong as ever.GÇ¥
He concluded his statement by condemning the bomb blast at the political rally of Eliaron Idama yesterday evening, and wishing EliarionGÇÖs partner Onara Shiikeru, who was injured in the incident, his thoughts and well wishes for a speedy recovery. |
