I voted theMittani freely, of my own 'ow' volition.
As members of the CFC we are all of course allowed to vote 'ow ow ok ok I'm reading it!' a we please. I considered all the candidates on their merits, and there were some very good ones. I considered as I was free to vote as I pleased going with Riverini as he argued so coherently his well thought out manifesto on Eve-radio. In my mind the matter was all but settled, Riverini said I like makey a pants down, and that was enough for me.
Then something truly tremendous happened.
The night before voting began, theMittani came to me in a dream: the winged vision of Mittens decended out of a pair of etheric gates, his golden mane iridescent with a polychromatic light which swirled and glittered all about him In his left hand he held a crucible from which poured nebulae with engine trails, in his right sat an oracle within a swirling tornado. At his feet cowered the other candidates wailing they looked small, diminutive and without an element of colour. As his white wings spread out he glided toward me, as if carried by some might force, and he reached out towards me.
Over the roaring trumpets, pipes and lutes of the angelic chorus; the thunder and the distant call of songbird I could just make out a voice. A voice; neither hard nor soft, a voice infinitely kind and wise. It said 'High only you know what is right, in your heart.'
Sadly moments later he was gone and I was left alone just one small insignificant man in what will forever after be a small world. I woke, and ran immediately to the local vicarage. I told my pastor the story and he smile at me, bringing forth a battered tome from within his robes 'These are the gospels of the Apocryphon' he told me proceeding to show me account after account of visions revelations of the divines through the ages precisely as mine had been. He held my shoulder and told me he had just voted for theMitttani for CSM 2012 himself and bade me go and do what is right.
Against all that, what can democracy ever really mean? As I clicked vote, submitted my dna sample, and signed the contract delivering my unborn children to Mittens care, I remembered the vision and smiled.
People often ask me why I have a monocle. Well I hit my head on a doorknob and it stuck in. Others ask about the scar, and why I'm a corpse. I slipped you see, I guess I'm just clumsy.
To say CFC members weren't free to vote as they pleased is a fa, a fal 'ow ok but I can't read what it says, no please I did as you said, I just want to go home, no no! not the pony, anything but the aaargh...............................................

At this junction I would also like to give my condolences to the friends of Trabzz
Through his courage we got proof of why The Mittani made the board of CSM6 and will again be on CSM7
Trabzz wrote:Pheusia wrote:How are you being pressured to vote against your will? People are being banned left and right from the forums, some for 90 days or more, for supporting their own candidates. If you can't post your lossmails you can't get reimbursement, so a large amount of money is being denied to anyone that speaks up They are also keeping tabs on how individual corps are voting through their own exit polling system, and publishing the stats so that those who refuse to toe the line can be mocked publicly. Quote: Proof (truth) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A proof is sufficient evidence or argument for the truth of a proposition.
The concept arises in a variety of areas, with both the nature of the evidence or justification and the criteria for sufficiency being area-dependent. In the area of oral and written communication such as conversation, dialog, rhetoric, etc., a proof is a persuasive perlocutionary speech act, which demonstrates the truth of a proposition.
I included the following to help the Goonsheep understand the above.
Quote: Perlocutionary act From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A perlocutionary act (or perlocutionary effect) is a speech act, as viewed at the level of its psychological consequences, such as persuading, convincing, scaring, enlightening, inspiring, or otherwise getting someone to do or realize something. This is contrasted with locutionary and illocutionary acts (which are other levels of description, rather than different types of speech acts)
Unlike the notion of locutionary act, which describes the linguistic function of an utterance, a perlocutionary effect is in some sense external to the performance. It may be thought of, in a sense, as the effect of the illocutionary act via the locutionary act. Therefore, when examining perlocutionary acts, the effect on the hearer or reader is emphasized
As an example, consider the following utterance: "By the way, I have a CD of Debussy; would you like to borrow it?" Its illocutionary function is an offer, while its intended perlocutionary effect might be to impress the listener, or to show a friendly attitude, or to encourage an interest in a particular type of music.
Through the bravery of this member of Goonswarm, we are all now aware of why such a minority can take the majority of votes on the CSM and turn the process into a joke.
As yet we have not had any one from the other null sec blocs step forward, but just because we have not yet heard, doesn't mean it's not true for these other voting blocs as well.
With the Goonswarm swamping any posts containing the truth about the CSM or belittling the voices of the people. There is little hope for the average voter.
So with so few people seemingly controlling the future of the CSM, revelations of the dead coming back to life. I once again must ask that The Mittani's candidacy be suspended, while these allegations are properly investigated
Remember The Mittani doesn't need anyone's vote, the facts brought to life by Trabzz shout out why this is so.
I salute the bravery of Trabzz and all whistle blowers.

The only thing you clown cause is this:
Wiki wrote:Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, and is not interested in their surroundings. The first recorded use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852,[1] in which it appears six times, although the expression to be a bore had been used in the sense of "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768.[2] The French term for boredom, ennui, is sometimes used in English as well.

"Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else which thinks at least as logically as it does. The easiest way to fool a completely logical robot is to feed it the same stimulus sequence over and over again so it gets locked in a loop. This was best demonstrated by the famous Herring Sandwich experiments conducted millennia ago at MISPWOSO (The MaxiMegalon Institute of Slowly and Painfully Working Out the Surprisingly Obvious).
A robot was programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches. This was actually the most difficult part of the whole experiment. Once the robot had been programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches, a herring sandwich was placed in front of it. Whereupon the robot thought to itself, "Ah! A herring sandwich! I like herring sandwiches."
It would then bend over and scoop up the herring sandwich in its herring sandwich scoop, and then straighten up again. Unfortunately for the robot, it was fashioned in such a way that the action of straightening up caused the herring sandwich to slip straight back off its herring sandwich scoop and fall on to the floor in front of the robot. Whereupon the robot thought to itself, "Ah! A herring sandwich..., etc., and repeated the same action over and over and over again. The only thing that prevented the herring sandwich from getting bored with the whole damn business and crawling off in search of other ways of passing the time was that the herring sandwich, being just a bit of dead fish between a couple of slices of bread, was marginally less alert to what was going on than was the robot.
The scientists at the Institute thus discovered the driving force behind all change, development and innovation in life, which was this: herring sandwiches. They published a paper to this effect, which was widely criticised as being extremely stupid. They checked their figures and realised that what they had actually discovered was "boredom", or rather, the practical function of boredom."

While "Sheeple" is incredibly similar for what my intentions for the term "Goonsheep" are. I really am smart enough to coin a term that will be used 60+ years later.
Sheeple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia wrote: Sheeple (a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a term of disparagement in which people are likened to sheep, a herd animal. The term is used to describe those who voluntarily acquiesce to a suggestion without critical analysis or research. By doing so, they undermine their own individuality and may willingly give up their rights.

Which is why it is quite sad that a minority of players can abuse the voting system in such a way as to get their Leader as head of the CSM. Then tell people how he is good for the game while he only fights to make the game better for the Minority while the Majority of players become unhappy with the direction of the game and subsequently start leaving.
