A lot of people I talk to about the CSM say "Oh there is no point cos Goonswarm will take up entire council cos there are so many of them."
Surely this is impossible, as the goons number around 10% of the entire active accounts in Eve, therefore they could only guarantee to get one member on the council, maybe two before splitting their vote too much puts all their candidates out of the race?
Discuss.

They get none, except just deserts...and I don't mean Ben and fricken Jerry's.
Vote for people who are intelligible and will enhance this game, not for a group destined to ruin our game. This is the edict of the SA community and Gooonbleet.

Welp, our secret plan has now been exposed. But, we have a manifesto and everything.
...excerpt
Oh, maternal ditch, half full of muddy water! A factory gutter! I savored a mouthful of strengthening muck which recalled the black teat of my Sudanese nurse!
As I raised my body, mud-spattered and smelly, I felt the red hot poker of joy deliciously pierce my heart. A crowd of fishermen and gouty naturalists crowded terrified around this marvel. With patient and tentative care they raised high enormous grappling irons to fish up my car, like a vast shark that had run aground. It rose slowly leaving in the ditch, like scales, its heavy coachwork of good sense and its upholstery of comfort.
We thought it was dead, my good shark, but I woke it with a single caress of its powerful back, and it was revived running as fast as it could on its fins.
Then with my face covered in good factory mud, covered with metal scratches, useless sweat and celestial grime, amidst the complaint of staid fishermen and angry naturalists, we dictated our first will and testament to all the living men on earth. MANIFESTO OF GOONSWARM 1. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness. 2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt. 3. Literature has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression, feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist. 4. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. 5. We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit. 6. The poet must spend himself with warmth, glamour and prodigality to increase the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements. 7. Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man. 8. We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed. 9. We want to glorify war - the only cure for the world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman. 10. We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice. 11. We will sing of the great crowds agitated by work, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in modern capitals: the nocturnal vibration of the arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous railway stations devouring smoking serpents; factories suspended from the clouds by the thread of their smoke; bridges with the leap of gymnasts flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny river: adventurous steamers sniffing the horizon; great-breasted locomotives, puffing on the rails like enormous steel horses with long tubes for bridle, and the gliding flight of aeroplanes whose propeller sounds like the flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds.

Goons aren't 10% of the population. More like 2%. All the major 0.0 alliances together barely go over 10%.

Edited by: Amarth Thargan on 20/03/2008 18:58:41 Just check, the council thing, has no effective power over real world issues right? And I hardly think if they yell we want to look like giant hamburgers flying around in footballs, CCP will gently rise an eyebrow and move on to the next topic right?
I mean people do realise this is a game? Because some people are really starting to worry me.
Whining about game-mechanics months on end but keep on playing is worse enough, making a ruccus about some discussion-panel is hysterical.

Yeah, as long as CCP tells them why, they have the final say.

Since noone in empire probably even knows or cares about this even if CCP were to spam the MOTD and news about the elections the fact that the Goons have a rather large percentage of the organized (however loosly) 0.0 will pretty much guarantee at least one gets on the council if they so wish. I beleive that anyone voted in will be from a 0.0 alliance with its ability to herd its members to the voting stalls and any empire votes showing up will be token at best. --------------------- Q: WTF!

Yes, just like in real life it is not about the total percentage of the voters you get to vote for you, but the total percent of voters who actually vote that vote for you.
In America less than 30% of people vote. In EVE I think the apathy will be even higher, and I think likely the only people who vote will be PVP and fleet players.
