It would be a nice guide if it was void of personal agenda leaking from every paragraph.You are a true politician Trebor. And i dont mean it in a nice way.
And i strongly disagree that votes for popular candidates that have bloc support are wasted votes. There is no such thing as wasted votes. Not in RL, not in EVE. Players should vote for who they like and who they believe in, nothing else.
And certainly not voting for their second/third person on the like list, just because they think that their primary candidate has enough votes already. Thats bullshit that can have a very big cost and harsh consequences.
Cheers.

For example, every vote The Mittani gets in excess of the number needed for him to become chairman (his stated goal) is a wasted vote; it could have been used to elect other candidates with similar views. In the last election, The Mittani received 1552 overvotes. These would have been enough to put another candidate onto the CSM. Ntrails pointed this out while I was composing this reply; great minds think alike. Similarly, about 30% of the votes were cast for candidates who did not get elected. If those had been transferred in some way, the council would have been more representative of the wishes of the voters.
Allow me to disagree.
If there was a situation where we would be able to monitor amount of votes, and had precise data how many votes candidate has, then that would be correct. But we dont know, we are not allowed to know these kind of things, and we should not be allowed to know this.
So how do you know if he has enough votes? Its only your guess. Based on the last year results. But this is not a last year. Your efforts as CSM 6 showed everyone that CSM has some real power and influence. Not the power to introduce some new features, but the power to influence decisions made by CCP, and thats good enough in the right hands.
So there is a lot more attention to elections this year, and i expect a lot more people to take part and cast their votes. And as a result, each candidate will need a lot more votes to pass.
And also in my opinion it gives much more weight to CSM candidate if he received more votes, and not just from his support group.
No system is perfect, thats true enough. But even in this broken system, i think people should vote for those they believe in, and not second/third choices. Otherwise these elections have no meaning.

I came across this post through a twitter announcement, and while I do think you mean well, this isn't really much of a voter's guide so much as it is a guide to gaming the CSM voting system so that specific people get to go to CCP-land and offer their input into the systems that define EVE.
The very nature of a voter's guide is that is an impartial listing of all candidates for particular positions, as well as their platforms and possibly their qualifications for being voted into office.

And you are a member of npc corp. So either you are a coward to not post with your main. Or you are just worthless as human being and no one wants you.
Either way. Congratulations.
