Dude, I breed hate and discontent like hairless children from my loins, I exuded arrogance and superiority like a high-dollar cologne, I ...
Yeah, somehow I can accidentally pull off arrogance and know-it-all, despite the fact that I value other peoples ideas and have a 'humility' psychosis which makes me automatically differ to other people as being right. And I can do it with typed words, spoken words, or just standing in the f*cking room.
You DONT want me to be CSM. I'd spend more time p*ssing off people than helping get anything done.

Actually Ruze, if i were to have someone out there with me, being ripped apart by forumgoers and inevitably ingame people, i'd hope it was you. For one, you could offer the discussion needed when deciding something, or when i needed to solve a trickier then usual minesweeper game, and for second, if you excuse the form that phrase is used in, i could use someone who coul fire bullets instead of just taking them

I noticed this thread the other day but didn't have time then to ask: so assuming that you're serious, you plan to run as an Alt and your core credentials are solely that you're a 3D artist and a level designer and not what we see of you here - why should members of the community vote for you on that basis and not your performance here?

mm while you have a good point I guess I don't believe the CSms role is to pitch idea but in fact repersent those who elect him.
If I run as mothermoon I will have a history of what I want and don't want in eve. What I think is unbalanced or balanced.
as an alt I could just run as someone who only wants to help get players ides to the devs which is the most important part.
however your right as an art junkie I stil do believe the players should have a chance to pitch ideas to CCP, but that will be what mothermoon asked of the mystery alt running for CSM, the CSm member himself will be running...
damn it it's getting a little to complacated .
Or maybe running as my character would in fact be a better idea I don't know.
bah I have to stop posting when I'm up this late.

You can't win that way, either. Several of the CSM's made no effort to hide who or what they are, but when your an elected official, everyone and their mother will smear you and distort the facts.
You can't get away from it. It's the corruption and twist of that kind of job.
And MotherMoon, part of the act of being a 'representative' is that people don't elect you to speak for everyone, they elect you due to your own personal convictions, because they agree with how you think and will represent them as such.
Course political groups always get elected under this principle, then sell out to the highest bribe or 'lobbyist'.

bah I have to stop posting when I'm up this late.
I readily agree that the CSM should (ideally) first and foremost represent the community to CCP rather than put their own "special interests" first above all else and to be clear to anyone reading this, when I say that I am not passing any sort of judgement on the current council.
My opinion is that a good official, elected democratically, divorces themself from their personal preferences when making policy - instead obeying the will of the electorate. In the particular case of the CSM however, there is some acceptable room for personal preferences getting attention and this is probably a good thing if it keeps the council members engaged in their tasks. Besides, there will liikely be many more people within the electorate who hold those same issues near and dear.
If you run, who (or what) you run as is entirely up to you to decide. I just think (this is in regards to all prospective candidates) that at the very least you damage your own ambition by not running as "yourself" - in this case, as MotherMoon. If I was to seek a seat on the CSM I'd be inclined to run on my own merits - whatever those are, exactly - and as Joss Sparq.
If, after all, someone has a problem with my stated opinions then perhaps they shouldn't vote for me if they feel so strongly about it and if they do feel that strongly, then I'm glad they won't vote for me! As I'm probably not the right representative for them.
In any event, good luck.
As for posting late at night I agree with you: I am going to bed now, as I've just noticed it is past 01:00 and I have passed late and entered early

I have high hopes for the next term of office for the CSM. It's going to be interesting to see who runs for position within it.
Sadly, the first iteration has been a useless farce, through no fault of the majority of the delegates. When capable, reasonable and sensible people are put in charge of the panel with what's best for the game and not their own agenda at the front of their minds, then the CSM will become useful and a good tool for the playerbase to work with.

Any organization of power, particularly one relying on democratic processes, will draw those who wish to use the power and authority for their own ends.
Only way to prevent that, is to take away the effectiveness of the organization to a point where even those of corruption don't wish to use it, and at such a stage, is it really needed then?
As long as there's a CSM, there will be people who want to be in charge and will want to use the organization for their own agendas. Even those with good intentions can lead people to hateful things.
Or do we really all believe that ****** was 'evil incarnate' and didn't have legitimate reasons and good intentions in mind when he did what he did?
It's not the really evil people who you need to worry about. It's the people who are convinced they are good and 'right'.
