I reconfirmed the name sent and even had other calls during that period, so I know things were fine on this end.

Next time I suggest you test prior to the debates and don't change times at the last minute so you don't waste other peoples time.

I appreciate your efforts but if you don't get a cross section of the candidates what good are you really doing for the players of Eve?

And mined for 8 years, I've run an active mining corporation for 6 years and mining alliance for 5 in null, low sec and high sec......

If this candidate is the "preeminent" candidate, where is this other campaign focused on improving mining as major focus, I've looked at the other candidates platforms and I haven't seen that.

They might have been mining for a long time but they either thinks it isn't enough to campaign on or thinks its fine as is.

Also how does this qualify for a sticky?

Your snarky attitude to democracy is exactly why you are unfit to serve on the CSM and hence Issler will be getting my vote. Word is going round in some of the in-game chat channels that she may even get as many votes as the Goons - and all without having an army of mindless drones like Mittens has.
Perhaps you should listen to the talk in the game rather than just here in the forums. It's not all singing the same tune.
