Brian Paone Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2017.03.27 10:01:08 - [1] - Quote The Council of Stellar Management is quite the interesting concept. (At least to me - I had a thing for politics back in the day.) But after looking it over, I decided not to participate for a few reasons: * Lack of serious candidates: In my opinion, too few people took the idea seriously. There were more joke candidacies than most American presidential elections. If the candidates (in general and overall, not as a totality) can't take themselves or the process seriously, it's very difficult for me to do so. * Weighted concept: As a concept, the CSM is weighted far too heavily in favor of large groups. There doesn't appear to be any kind of viable mechanism for small groups to have their voices given equal weight. I realize no form of government is perfect, but I feel more work can be done to give smaller, less visible groups a more equal place at the table. I also feel NPC corporations are badly underrepresented, to the point of even possible derision. It's a great concept, but ultimately seems to be rubber-stamping. I'd like to see the process and candidates (again, overall, not in totality) mature a bit more before participating. Keep up the progress! o7

Used by CCP (and by many other consumer product oriented companies) to get feedback and test ideas. The only unusual thing with the CSM is that CCP lets us customers select the group instead of selecting it them self. CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Its not that my vote doesnt count its that I dont believe in people to actually be good in any moral sense. Get away with what you can is about it as long as you can. Im sure some would say the same about me though too. Have you heard anything I've said? You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right? That's right. Had to end sometime.

Your rationale is completely arse-backwards: your inaction may contribute to genuine candidates being trumped (ahem, no capital T, lawyers). Also, what do you mean by weighted too heavily in favour of large groups? Isn't that how democracy works? I mean, a hypothetical scientology party wouldn't get many votes because most people view them as (the lawyers are here again, complete this sentence as you see fit). Finally, NPC corps are underrepresented? What the hell are you on about?!

Where you going "WT ever loving F" the entire time you were typing...like I did lol I mean, the part where the poster said something about small groups being given equal weight to small group. How does being in a 'small group' make you special? And how in the hell does being in an NPC corps stop you from voting. Hell CCP makes POP UPS in game telling EVERYONE CSM voting is going on. Is it 'big groups' fault that people in small groups and NPC corps don't give enough of a damn to spend 15 seconds voting for a csm candidate. Why is their laziness somehow a problem CCP needs to fix?

We settle for the lesser turd instead of finding the shooting star. IRL European history has made people a bit leery of honest demagogues or real leaders, since they drown the crops with young men's blood, so managerial types are favoured for now. I've met and spoken on comms with people involved with the CSM, it's actually not that bad a thing and cynicism about it is more of a posture than an informed stance. Goggles. Making me look good. Making you look good.

Either you're posting with an alt making you irrelevant, or you really are 4 months in game which makes your opinion on voting in the CSM irrelevant. It's ok to be uninformed as long as you aren't flamey, and it's ok sometimes to be flamey as long as you're well informed. Your posting history shows you to be very flamey and very uninformed, which is a sorry combination. It was especially funny to read your thoughts on how being a pirate in a video game means you're "opposing your own species" and the worst kind of human being in real life. Pathetic.

Keep up the progress! o7 Overall I don't see anything wrong with your original post other than you deciding not to vote. I've been playing this game for over 8 years now and I've only voted 4 times. I agree the system for getting candidates is flawed and the actual voting process definitely favors large Alliances. Since there is a large amount of placeholder candidates the only option available is to question each one and then vote for those who have viewpoints similar to your own. Personally I think one of the prerequisites for CSM candidates should be having an active subscription for at least 2+ years. Also the character being used should be active in-game so that their running platform can be easily verified. It would definitely make a big difference if everyone who was active in-game actually voted. There's a lot of active players in-game who don't know about CSM Elections. The main issue is how to inform them about it. I believe that issue can be easily resolved by CCP sending an Eve Mail message to all characters informing them about the upcoming election. CCP can also send another Eve Mail message reminding players that the polls will only be open during a set period of time. Anyway, in the future don't remove the original thread content if you want to have a serious discussion about a topic. Main thing is to allow time for other players to post genuine replies. Also if you decide the thread has generated enough attention, just click the little flag report icon in the header next to the time stamp of your original post and ask ISD to close the thread.

CCP had a big announcement front and center on the launcher. there where also notifications sent out regularly IG, the ones I specifically remember, was a notification when the candidates where all announced. another one when voting started, a third when there was only a week left, a fourth just before the final weekend of voting and then a fifth one on the final day. if a big banner on the launcher, and 5 or more IG notifications was not enough for players to pay attention too then I don't think anything they do would help.

You must have a different game launcher than what I have because I didn't see any large banner advertising CSM Election. There's a small section on the lower right side which mostly promotes PLEX sales, deals for upgrading to Omega status and Ship skins. The Eve News section on the lower left side has way too many listings in small print to actually garner players attention. I bet most players just look for the blue launcher download status for 'Ready' and then click the appropriate account to launch. Having a full page advert for CSM Elections load up before the character selection screen would definitely get players attention. The notifications you're referring to in-game are small and fleeting as well as being intermixed with skill training completion notifications, contacts, etc. An Eve Mail message containing information is a lot more noticeable and lasts much longer than some quick little notification flyby that only lasts onscreen for a few seconds. I think every single type of media option that's currently available in-game should be used to help inform all players. Definitely wouldn't hurt.

There was plenty of non-bloc candidates in so many playstyles.. highseccers lack the organization that the big alliances have but even if you filled all your slots randomly with them in any order could have been enough to upset even one or two of those evil bloc votes. You can go with the sheep or change your mindset knowing that it starts with you. The CSM is very unique and I can't really say there's any other game that has this. I don't know the raw numbers or anything but I've read on Neville Smit's blog and he's got it figured like 80% of the game's subscribers call highsec home. So sad how we all lose out as many seats as we do to the tiny minority everywhere else, or how one alliance can have 4/10 seats. And it's not just highseccers - I've seen prominent lowsec pirates also 'stick it to the man' by not participating. What a waste! Thanks for putting up with the Eve ~~Community~~ Mob as much as you do CCP. @lunettelulu7

DMC Suggestion #1: Stay out of the General Discussion sub forum. Stick to the Gameplay Center. That's where serious people post serious issues and get serious responses (mostly). This sub forum is where you come troll and be trolled - and maybe make some relevant points along the way.

Any player seasoned enough to know what the CSM is, and further know that it is a fully ineffectual, corrupt sockpuppet... Probably knew that a thread bursting at the seams with smarmy "I didn't vote, Neener Neener Neener" would get torn up on the EVE forums. Again, I agree completely with you! But you did know this thread would go bad.

HA! *****, a quick look through your posting history pretty plainly demonstrates you wouldn't know what logic and reason were if they put on high-heels and tag-teamed you raw and bloody!

Maybe they could be better, but it's hard to fault CCP for attempting to create a formal structure to elicit feedback from the player community. These complaints have the tone and feel of simple rabble rousing by the rabble. Just pointless complaints by people who never do anything but complain about everything.

There MIGHT be decent content here, but I'm too old to go sifting through mountains of narcissistic sociopathy to find a few decent folks. I don't have to do that in-game; I shouldn't have to do it here. You don't have to. The solution to your problem-that-is-not-a-problem is quite simple; if you don't like the forums and feel they are somehow ruining the game for you...just don't go on the forums. That's it. No EvE player is forced to go on the EvE forums. It is entirely your choice and not necessary to play the game. YOUR choice, no disabling of anything by ccp needed. If forum and game accounts are connected, then it is what it is. I'll clarify that with customer service and, if that's the case, I'll shut down the whole Goddamned thing and just move on. They are connected in that having an account made to play the game EvE allows one to post on the forums. One doesn't even need an EvE account to read the EvE forums, so ccp disabling your "forum account" wouldn't protect you from your own choices completely. Also, ccp customer service prioritizes support tickets according to how urgent they deem them to be. Considering that and the probable backlog of support tickets caused by the recent fanfest, and your ticket asking for clarification of forum / game connectivity might take a while for a response. You know, like so many other people have. But I'm sure that's my fault. :-) Ah, then goodbye, sir. Thanks again. yw EvE security zones in pictures EvE quick reference pdf EvE links

(At least to me - I had a thing for politics back in the day.) But after looking it over, I decided not to participate for a few reasons: * Lack of serious candidates: In my opinion, too few people took the idea seriously. There were more joke candidacies than most American presidential elections. If the candidates (in general and overall, not as a totality) can't take themselves or the process seriously, it's very difficult for me to do so. * Weighted concept: As a concept, the CSM is weighted far too heavily in favor of large groups. There doesn't appear to be any kind of viable mechanism for small groups to have their voices given equal weight. I realize no form of government is perfect, but I feel more work can be done to give smaller, less visible groups a more equal place at the table. I also feel NPC corporations are badly underrepresented, to the point of even possible derision. It's a great concept, but ultimately seems to be rubber-stamping. I'd like to see the process and candidates (again, overall, not in totality) mature a bit more before participating.
