Once again, we are approaching the elections for the CSM.
Once again, it will no doubt be largely Goons appointed members.
Once again, we shall have the minority (Null Sec) speaking for the majority (High Sec).
Once again, we will be voting for people people based on what tribe they are in (coalition)
... and yet again, we will be thinking about ourselves when we do this; without regard for whether they actually have the skills and neutral mindset to do a good job.
Thus our carousel will keep on spinning, CCP shall have to take what the CSM put forward with a bucket of salt. (It seemed from this past year that even when the CSM was being positive and trying to put the brakes on some really bone-headed ideas; that they were completely ignored.)
You can point to a few exceptions yes, like some of the stuff Sugar Kyle has done. You can harp on about how it is better than nothing and we haven't had another Incarna since we have had the CSM came about. You can also go on about the daily work they do and ignore why they are motivated to be there and the influence they try and exert.
However, I want you to ask yourselves this:
- Why are you voting for that person? - Is the CSM influence more gradual and insidious? - Is the CSM too full of peacocks or selfish agendas to be taken seriously by CCP? - Is CSM largely a lobby group? - How can the whole process be improved? - Are these questions too late? ( ... because the ballot pages are made, CCP's mind is made up and the rest of the year people don't care.)

Lucas Kell wrote:...Voting supports the majority. If you guys don't vote enough for the people that the "majority" want then yes, null sec groups who do vote and do know who they want will get their own way. ... I found last year that most of High Sec doesn't know that a CSM even exists or what it does.
CCP does not make a big enough song and dance. They could put up a notification like down time upon log in or they could stick it like a MoTD in Local chat.
How can a vote represent a majority when the majority doesn't know the vote even happens?

The obvious difference is huge alliances that put out mails and coalitions that all use the same forum. One can reach many with Null Sec.

Aww you finally got it and stopped filtering! Now, the first stage is denial. Not much we can do to help you with that I'm afraid but I will try keep an eye out for when you get past it.
Marsha Mallow wrote:... screeching + it's not unrelated now. ... So yeh, feck it. I guess that highlights how pointless it is. I can at least say that I tried. I flew about, talked with as many people as I could, even directed them to various candidates to try and at least get some more votes. I actually ran for CSM to try and do something.
Unlike Jenn aSnide who as far as I can tell has never actually contributed anything besides, "People are delusional and by implication I am superior."

Type out as much fluff as you like but it is obvious that something is broken and people are not informed that the CSM exists and or what it does.

P.S. Not bothered about a link that I grabbed just before going to bed. Additionally, the public list and the actual list sent out could easily have had a different order.
There were a lot of really good candidates that were not on that list and didn't make it to CSM, whilst others were surprising results. "Vote for this person no one really knows" "Okay"

Malcanis, I think if it did come out that CSM were voted for by an informed minority, it might make you being in CSM and your input modestly questionable as CCP could have been steered in the wrong direction for years.

Sorry, I forgot about this thread.
Alphea Abbra wrote:... To be informed takes clicking a splash page link and 5 minutes. ... Two days during the working week last year? In a launcher that many of us by-pass?Malcanis wrote: "Steered in the wrong direction", you say? Good response. Personally, I like Phoebe, less hot dropping going on all over the place. If the vision ever comes true then EVE would see more strategy. Others hate the changes and have quit the game over it. Can't please everyone and will always lose some. How many left, I don't know.
Steering in the wrong direction may well be the Null Sec focus and coming at it from the wrong approach. The priority might have been better on High Sec, where the majority are. Sure, they only stick around for a year and a half on average and I can see the logic in trying to get more of them out to Null Sec to then stay longer.
However, Fozzie's team have sacrificed depth while trying to reduce complexity. Their dream of little groups taking space and blooming in Null Sec have not been realised. Why not? I think it is because Null Sec is a tough place to live, it is like a surface rock that smaller groups can't always penetrate to get to the water and soil beneath.
As EVE stands today, I would recommend that any new corp gets jump clones on opposite sides of High Sec, levels their PVE ships, sticks to one tank type and when ready move into a Class 2 or Class 3 worm hole. There is far better access control with worm holes and it can be an incubator to build wealth and skill points as a group, being able to lay down an infrastructure. . The trouble at this point is that if you recruit people, you usually need to trust them. If you have a weak time zone they can sneak enemies into your worm hole and you can lose your system. So you can't really grow well in numbers. It is a much larger risk than High Sec or even Low Sec in some regards. So, if you look at worm holes and Null Sec, all you can really do is have more worm holes, have one for newbies, have drama, have POSes in there blown up and keep going up the WH classes.
Even when you get to Class 6 and a fairly established corp or alliance, you are now left with the people who like worm holes and people who like blingy ships in moderately sized engagement.
There is no natural leap from Worm Holes to Null Sec.
It can work as an incubator but it is not the best solution. There is also a great deal that can and is in many cases being done socially to try and build more new players in Null Sec. The trouble is that they are usually being built by the larges coalitions and not by smaller entities.
Anyway, I am rambling on uselessly and anyone reading up to the point of this last paragraph has probably had their eyes glaze over and their minds' switch off.

Entosis: Waving a mining laser at a structure from a little ship. No longer is there time saving and cost / benefits to stacking your fleet for DPS to grind down a structure. That is one aspect of depth that has been lost. No longer do you need to put a 100 man fleet out there to be attacked. You can simply send out some T3Ds to kill the annoying interceptors.

Again, CSM might have helped lead CCP into focusing on the wrong area of space. If it has been the other way around, perhaps more would have been enabled to transition into other areas of space more smoothly and additionally, they would spend more time paying for an account in High Sec.
If the average life of High Sec accounts could be extended by just a month, that would be significant.

Never seen a question like that pop up when running or installing programs and games? (Sometimes, such agreements are by default in the Terms of Service).

Good lord, you're serious, aren't you? You do realise that there is object oriented programming for web, which can do pretty much anything, right? No longer just a few basic scripts to display some stuff.

You won't trust anything that doesn't fit what you believe until you go and do; experience things first hand.

Trying to make it sound like more because that one character was hidden in a bunch of unrelated static does not suddenly make him more than one guy. There's one who asks GÇ£whenGÇ¥, which is not the same question as GÇ£what.GÇ¥ This out of a conversation between 6 people plus, as you point out, any number of lurkers. ... You can see from how thing were spelt out that Di could pick up what the CSM was and want to vote. Knowing nothing, they thought the vote might be on Reddit for all they knew. Ti thought the CSM was an event.
Again, talk to people. This chat log happened recently and without my deliberate efforts. I have a new computer and I have my own experiences from running for CSM.
- I won't be running around talking to people again this year. I have no motivation.
- The chat logs from last year are gone.
- Even if I had them, I wouldn't put in the wasted effort of digging through them for you.
So, take that as me having no proof and rejoice.
Why don't I make the effort to find more proof? Your opinion of me is not worth trying to sway because I do not value it (but the pointless arguing in circles is a good distraction while, warp, warp, warping).

CCP does not deserve a good CSM this year. I will not be voting for someone I like and being directly responsible for putting them in a bad situation.
