And Met, while you throw generalizations around; deliberately misrepresent events and have your posts carefully dissected and disproved by people like Rubyporto I'll keep on thinking of you as a dummy. A whiny dummy. Why do you worry what some random person on the internet thinks about you anyway? You have a CSM to take down. After all, with no CSM. No wait. You wanted 7-9 mini CSMs. No wait. It was geographical regions. No wait ...
I'm a forum Coroner. Dissecting the poasts to see what kilt 'em.
Easy job to get. Just have to read every post on F&I's front page without killing yours.... so cold, so very cold, can't escape, they're coming for my brain, what kind of loving G...elf and you get the job.

BECAUSE ITS A GAME
Sorry to inform you that for some people EVE is not the center of their life, just a product they pay for. But I have to agree with former posters....WHO DOES NOT VOTE HAS NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
That something is a game does not make it invalid to become invested in it. Just like people who run bowling leagues, or organize adult sports teams, or coach kids baseball. We do it because it's an enjoyable hobby, and we become invested because we want out hobby to remain available to us and continue to improve for us. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.

Instead of consulting the csm (and their personal/corp/alliance agendas) over these ideas then working with the feedback you are consulting everyone that logs in over a certain period. These people also have agendas and block voting is still possible.
Wikipedia wrote: a form of government in which people vote on policy initiatives directly, as opposed to a representative democracy in which people vote for representatives who then vote on policy initiatives
You suggest a system by which people vote directly(Take a Poll) on policy initiatives(Proposed changes) to replace a system in which people vote for representatives(Vote for the CSM) who then vote on policy initiatives(CCP Consults the CSM).
That you cal it "consulting" doesn't change that. In addition, it, as was already said, limits debate to a series of very specific questions with little to no help in interpreting them, and subject to the biases of both the maker of the survey and the reader of the survey (in the event of short answer questions).

I can't answer specifically to the point. However, I would say that while there might be more isk (which I doubt) overall in HS, how many hands hold that isk? This goes back to cohesion and the lack of it in HS. Individually, even in small groups hs cannot compete financially with individuals in null. I'm reasonably sure that the richest individuals in the game mostly operate in hi-sec. I've also yet to see a convincing argument (that means ones with evidence and causal chains that don't involve lizard-people beaming mind-rays from their moonbase) that in game wealth affects CSM elections.

Wait, she broke NDA by spilling to a Dev who wasn't in the loop? Wow, the Bears can't do anything well, can they? Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.

And being passionate about the game is needed to become a CSM representative.. it's additional stress and work besides playing this game, which even after you did it to the best of your knowledge and ability in 90% of the cases earns you mockery and verbal abuse. For people who are just playing casually this is not feasible. So the only ones, who rally for CSM and take the downsides are those who get something out of it for their group. It's funny though.. a very large group, composed of casual players has no voice because of the nature of it's members.  Wait. When did it become fashionable to be emotionally invested or "passionate" about this game? Aren't carebears shunned for taking this game too seriously? Did someone forget to send out the memo? Or can this just be the usual carebear-hating hypocritical mantra spewed by the "i-nevar-take-eve-seriously" elitists?
I care about the game deeply. I don't particularly care that Rifter #342 or Abaddon #32 or Hurricane #459 got deadified.
That's what we make fun of the carebears for. "WWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH Tengu #1 got blowed up by ebil piewates, WWWWWAAAAAAHHHHH CCP FIX THIS OR I WILL GET EVERYONE EVER TO QUIT" That sort of stuff. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.

Probably. Mind you, when I last lost a loot pinata, it was valued at ~1b and happened because I went out ratting while watching the AT. My response was to something like "aw shucks" and off buy a new one.
I try to avoid losing ratting ships, as their loss stings for the simple reason that it's entirely my fault I lost it. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.

Dztrgovac wrote:Reason there are so few highsec CSM delegates (and now likely there won't be any, because CSM is too important to 00 people to allow loss of a single seat) is that there aren't any thousands strong monolithic blocks of players. So even if there are honest candidates (most "highsec candidates" are trolls or alts or pirates and griefers) they will just split the votes to no end.
Alliance ordering their troops to vote for their delegate is simple. But how can real highsec CSM candidate get the message spread? Forums? Most people ignore them like troll filled plague they are. There are no big channels or communities in game that have sufficient listeners.
And so in our pretty little democracy 70% of players don't get represented at all; or occasionally get one delegate.
Sounds like you want some sort of chat window that everyone automatically has open all the time, like some way of talking to the local population of each system....
Oh wait...
The last HS CSM (Crazy Spoon thrower that she was) went system to system campaigning(lying) about the upcoming nerfs she was planning to fight. She got herself a seat, she got the second most votes of any seat that election. Then she went and broke the NDA.
So spread the message by making some effort and Campaign. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.
