Remeber to Vote!
Hans Jagerblitzen for CSM7 Chairman! Sticky thread in this forum (should have been mirrored in General Disc. to catch non/late-voters if you ask me). Bottom line is that it looks like this year will have 11-12k more votes cost than last year .. still very anemic. Forced voting is the way to go, forcing people to take a stand is the only way! Cut training time in half for six months if an eligible account doesn't vote (abstaining is a valid vote now so make it happen)!  The Empress demands her envoy/puppet on the council, vote for the Minnie! Vote Hans! God Wills It! A ~1.2x annual increase is actually pretty good. EDIT Jesus christ CCP, a percentage sign in a post doesn't make it a hostile h4xx0r attack Whilst encouraging to see an increase it still isnt anything like a serious mandate for the CSM, not that that is really a serious issue for CSM candidates as it's more simply a case of getting a voice. However until we see how the votes are comprised I dont want to assume its a nice to see reduction in the apathy issue as the increase could also accomodate votes that are simply attributable to abstentions, hope not however. But seeing as we are in Hans thread, I would hope that a number of FW, Empire and any other players are aware of the CSM and have voted responsibly.  I don't think you can handwave away an extra ten thousand participants quite so facilely. Yes it would be better if even mote players voted, but its a bit eyorish to dismiss such a big improvement just because it was based on a poor starting point.
More to do with don't want to assume anything and start chiming off with interpretation that may end up not being true.
When you consider that CCP have placed a voting option as a message on the front of the screen it might simply be a valid option that players choose to abstain in the hope to get rid of the message? That's me being cynical however.
Some might be random of course, I've seen posts in Amarr about people who selected candidates from the top of the list without even bothering to look at any details as a result. That of course could be Hub Troll humour however and certainly wasn't in any way in the 1000's of course.
Hopefully your right and the people who are interested will respond with a postive correlation to genuine interest. I have to concede it might be more of a sensible occams razor if it involves some effort.

I think given his manifesto and the focus CCP will be taking for the next term of the CSM even though Hans is more than capable in helping the above associated groups you mentioned his designs for EvE are further reaching than this. |

I'm predominantly a 0.0 player and I voted for Hans, because if there's one thing that the last 10 years have shown without a shadow of the doubt, it's that you can't "Fix" 0.0 without "fixing" empire too (and vice versa). If half the game is broken, it's all broken. Empire needs 0.0 to work properly; 0.0 needs Empire to work properly.
The players and the CSM have successfully energized CCP into looking at 0.0 again; now we need to get them to take a good long look at empire too.
Read https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=26049 for my thoughts on those lines, to which Hans was good enough to spend his time discussing and contributing to in an extremely constructive way. |

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! It's awesome to keep hearing so much support coming in.
I just wanted to remind everyone there is just a couple days left in the polls here, I need all of your help getting people to the polls, there will be a lot of last minute voters so NOW is the perfect time to hit the streets with my message again!
Here is my direct voting link you can share with your friends and chat channels in-game as you travel about:
http://community.eveonline.com/council/voting/Vote.asp?c=450
It is CRITICAL that we continue to get this link up and shared in-game as much as possible, THAT is where the votes are going to come from here in the final hour. I'll be doing some travelling and stumping myself, but I need your help to act as a "street team" during the last legs of the race.
Anything you can do to get people to the polls, regardless of who they vote for, would be awesome. Remind voters even if they don't want to vote for me its still important that their voices get heard. The bloc votes have been cast already - this is where we can catch up and pull ahead by putting our noses to the grindstone.
Good luck everyone, and thanks again for all that you've done to keep this campaign alive! I couldn't have come this far without the help of each and every one of you. Only a couple more days of hard work to go, and we can all rest and party this weekend.

Almost, just a couple hours left to vote! Than we can all take a break and celebrate.
Thanks again to EVERYONE who has pitched in to make this an amazing campaign. My success, should the results be favorable, will be as much a reflection of the effort YOU have put in to support me throughout these last couple of months. I couldn't have done it myself!
This has been an incredible amount of fun, and I've learned more about the game in two months from talking with voters than I have in the last year of just playing EVE. Every one of you has taught me something - either about EVE, or about myself, and this has been a completely worthwhile experience, win or lose.
I look forward to the weekend, I hope many of you make it over to Fan Fest and have a great time! I'll be watching the HD stream the whole way.
I also hope many of you will come to EVE Vegas this year, I'm planning on going, and it would be a great pleasure to meet all of that I've gotten to know the last few months, in person and over some drinks!
Best of luck to the other candidates as well, It'll be an honor serving alongside you this coming year should I be elected. There's a lot of hard work ahead! Let's get to it!

Probably too late to matter since voting is almost over but this guy was a hard-core, aggressive CCP apologist last summer. It's sickening to read some of his old posts (like the one where he says the Fearless article is fake.) If everyone had been the sycophant he was, we wouldn't have had Crucible, which was a step in the right direction (albeit a small one.) I don't see what qualifies him to lead the revolution.

I appreciate the gesture, I just wish it was heart-felt. If you truly respect me as an individual, instead of just saying more nice words, demonstrate that you mean it by taking a minute to do what you know should be done and fix up your thread.

Nope it's never too late to question's a candidate's leadership ability. Polls have closed, but I could still be elected, and voters have every right to question my ability to challenge CCP on important issues, especially in light of my initial reaction last summer.
Of course, its easy to say just about anything by quoting a single post, and those that take the time to read all my posts since then, will see that I very much changed my tone and opinion of CCP once I found out the newsletter was real.
I have no problem owning up to the fact I really thought it was fake. There was so much RAGE over the expansion, and any time emotions are at a peak, rationality takes a dip. I honestly believed that the newsletter was a troll attempt, because it seemed "too perfect" at the time.
Of course, I turned out to be wrong, and that moment single-handedly changed my perspective on CCP, how much we can trust them, and how grounded they were in what the players actually wanted for their own game. I became intensely interested in EVE politics and the role of the CSM following the "Fearless" controversy, and that's when I started working across the four militias to compile a list of fixes for Crucible. I saw an opportunity arise where CCP seemed to be honestly interested in delivering a feature chock full of player fixes, and the minute they mentioned Faction Warfare I wanted to be sure that if we had ANY chance at all of getting some changes implemented, that it was taken.
Once we had built enough community consensus about the most pressing issues, I started getting in touch with the CSM, and asking about the process and how I could help make sure the FW community was heard. I was able to get my notes to the developers this way, and everything that has changed so far regarding FW was part of that set of notes.
I continue to be highly skeptical of CCP, you have to remember a year ago most of us in the FW community honestly believed that CCP had no future plans to work on FW, ever again. The second eye-opener was the release of the summit minutes. In the minutes, Faction Warfare improvements were described that shared little resemblance to what the community envisioned for the feature, and I realized that the possibility existed that once again, CCP might pursue their own overly-ambitious vision for a feature without zeroing in on the "meat and potatoes" issues that meant the most to dedicated Faction Warfare pilots.
These were the events that led to my run for office. I reached out and was able to get involved with the feedback process in meaningful enough way that I saw just how much players can make a difference, but also enough to realize how much pressure CSM7 is going to have apply to prevent CCP from falling into old habits.
What I'm really looking forward to is a YEAR of crucible-like productivity, based on a continuation of the relationship the CSM and developers have enjoyed in the wake of the "fearless" crisis. I want to keep the ball in play, pushing for iteration not just on the game itself, but also iteration on the CSM itself and its relationship to both CCP and the player base. My experience has given me an understanding of the need to keep improving the process - everything from election mechanics to the way meetings are documented and shared with players.
I've learned that the CSM can be a fantastic "canary in a coal mine" - but only if CCP pays attention when the bird keels over. Incarna was a demonstration of what happens when they ignore the warning signs, Crucible is a sign of just how much can be done on spaceships now that avatars have been sidelined and resources re-routed.
Focusing the entire company (with a few exceptions) back on to the core game of EVE Online, is the right thing to do right now. It'll be a huge opportunity to be on the CSM during an entire year of expansion goodness now that all of the developer teams back and headed in the right direction. I'm excited!

Great response. I'm glad when you found out it wasn't fake, you didn't react like a certain csm delegate and tell everyone basically "yeah ignore that memo."
Also keep in mind there is no person called ccp. There are lots of people at ccp, and everyone I dealt with either gm or dev I have found to be extremely honest. Plus they made a great game.
I know allot of people will disagree with this but, much of the rage was spawned due to their effective communication and brutal honesty about the disagreeable direction they were taking the game.

I'm dissapointed that Hans didn't get into the top 7. I did everything I could which included emailing my own corp and spamming militia channel. Sadly, I just don't think some of the other FW corps did the same or individual FW pilots didn't care enough to vote. Sucks.

Yes, of course, just about everyone in faction war wishes he made it in the top 7.
But in fact it won't make *any* difference. He will still be able to participate and he will still be the only one who can speak from extensive experience about faction war. Elise Randolf is the only other person who I think has any significant experience with it, and I think he is likely after the same things Hans is after.
So the fact that he is in the bottom seven I don't think will make any difference.
No one knew who he was 6 months ago compared to many of the more common eve personalities that couldn't get the same votes he did. Hans ran soley on his actual ideas. I think getting the votes he did speaks loads for the strength his ideas and the grassroots player support for them. CCP will be intelligent enough to listen.
Go Hans!

WE DID IT!!!
Thanks everyone for all your support, how exciting it will be to represent you all on the CSM in the year ahead of us.
I'm completely prepared to hit the ground running here, we have a very short window before Inferno is upon us. I'll be NDA-ing myself up here as soon as possible so please start eve-mailing me your concerns, feedback, and ideas, and I'll do my best to make sure you all have a voice before its too late! I will be keeping an eye on the relevant threads of course as well.
Congratulations to the other CSM7 members, it looks like we have a lot of talent on the team and I honestly believe this will be one of the most productive CSM's of all time. We have CCP back on the right track with even more dedicated developers refocused on to EVE proper, and I plan to take full advantage of this along with the rest of the council.
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves at FanFest, and for those that aren't be sure to stay up late tonight for the keynote speech if you weren't watching the LiveStream! I was at work unfortunately all day, so I missed the CSM7 announcement and all the surrounding excitement, thanks to those in #tweetfleet for keeping me informed despite me being unable to respond.
Everyone, raise your glasses tonight around the world, wherever you are, its time to celebrate! We have a lot of work ahead of us....
