I you really want to protest the system then vote for a 7 year old girl! Skye Aurora is a 7 year old Girl Who Wants to be on the CSM! Unfortunately, the Lawyers say you have to be 21, so..

Well there is the civil method and making a joke out of it; either might accomplish the same ends.
Real thing to fear is when you are joking then they take you serious, suddenly, one day you log in and they have implemented magical space unicorns, pixies and fairies that shoot sparkles, rainbows and flowers at each other in place of ships and shooting effects.
Would make a great April Fool's joke though. Ideas & stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. -á Status: Taking a break |

Hi Jenshae Chiroptera.
I've read your post and while I understand your points, they can be made about any form of election and/or information gathering of this nature.
The CSM is far from being the only source of information CCP uses, while it is (undoubtedly) the most prominent one.
I also want to correct you on one thing - there is an "Abstain" option for the CSM elections. If you look up the devblogs giving the results from the previous elections you'll see us specifically stating how many players voted "Abstain"
Cheers, Xhagen
Quote:From: Jenshae Chiroptera To: CCP Xhagen
Apologies, I must have misread it as I thought that was a count of active members that would not vote.
Also, I am lacking the term or word that I want to convey, which is, "Sure, have the CSM but know that declare most definitely that none of them represent me as players will always be too biased and steer games into a gradual long term decline."
Well a response at least. Ideas & stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. -á Status: Taking a break |

Jenshae Chiroptera wrote:What a surprise, at a glance, Test Alliance x2 , Noir, Volition Cult, AAA, Goons x2, Pandemic x2, xxDeath, Razor, Darkside - another year to look forward to with null sec dominance of CSM. GMs would be more impartial, especially since they usually apply for a public relations and not a gaming job. They could play in Jove space to get the hang of the game and understand which ideas are good to put forward from the forums., while greeting new players. During the course of this thread, I have come to a realisation; that I have no faith in the CSM. I can understand the intentions of CCP in starting the CSM. However, the problem is that is has become a tool of meta-gaming both in terms of alliance status and in terms of trying to manipulate the game for short sighted reasons. Candidates stand and are voted for based on sides, interests and bias. Thus, I believe that CSM detriment to EVE far out weighs any benefit and request the following voting options:
- Abstain /suspend - actively declaring no confidence in the candidates or CSM and possibly having no CSM for a year.
- Removal - believing that the system is irredeemable and should be withdrawn entirely.
See, the problem might not be that people are too lazy to vote. They simply don't want any of those people involved in the decision process of their game. We should have the option to say, "I do not support this system and or group," or, "These people do not represent me." As a reply: "For now, the votes are similar to these 'Like' buttons. People can only say that they agree, they have no voice to say that they disagree or do not like who is being put forward" --------- Original post below. --------- There are some fundamental problems with democracy. Tribes or groups of people will vote for a particular person associated with them. For example, in South Africa, the Zulus, which is the largest group always vote for the ANC party which comprises of people from their tribe. They will even vote in a new leader who has forcefully removed the previous leader before the end of his term and is up on corruption, arms dealing and indecent assault charges prior to the election. Null sec voting blocks. Your control as a voter is usually an illusion.Even in the best of conditions, your choices narrow down to only a few candidates that are usually chosen for you. You do not get to elect the entire bureaucracy, who make the day to day decisions. You have no recourse if those people do not follow through with their promises and have only told you what you wanted to hear. There is no "neither" option on the ballots. CCP developers and the CSM system. Money and propaganda machines.There are people financially well off and connected enough to basically shout louder than anyone else. They have the resources to hire people to go about spreading their information and making a lot of flashy displays.

All they simply have to do is convince you to vote for them. Alliance or corporation leader are not necessarily good CSM material. TangentsThere seems to be a growing tendency to destroy high security and worm hole space. There seems to be large vocal groups who instead of working as people to improve their social groups or to get their area of space made better for them, seek only to sabotage the other options so that people are left with no other choice than to go out there and be slaughtered as victims. I would like to see areas being improved for the people that are there and enjoy that play style instead of breaking things to force others there. There are some individuals that you might think are okay or that you like but have a look at the groups that they lead.

It could actually show there are more people against the circus called "CSM" than there are pro-CSM people. As such the "glorious" position of chairman or woman wouldn't be as shiney as some try to call out anymore.

Yeah, CCP - hire the pros and get a first class marketing firm as that guy said a few pages back. This whole "high school student government" experiment has proven itself useless. Just recognize the voter turnout for what it is - a small portion of the player base wanting to impose their views on the vast majority of the players who don't choose to play the part of the game they think we should. ...

do you really think that eve is evenly divided by certain activities and the people that like each one? or is this one of those things where you assume that as a highsec veldspar explorer a 'nullsec guy' could never effectively represent you because they dont understand the finer nuances of how absolutely terrible, boring, and worthless mining is? in which case get over it
