I also hope he runs again for CSM8 - things got done.
In the meantime, yeah those 10058 people have a right to feel cheated. But blaming the makers and enforcers of the rules instead of the one who irresponsibly broke them might be a little misguided.
Its pretty unlikely he will ever be able to run for CSM again at this point. The rules of a successful application are you mustn't have a history of bannings for certain things. Harrassment of another player is very certainly one of those things.

The CSM and the election were in no way tainted by mittens. Mittens tainted himself.
CSM7 starts on April 4th.
No ones votes were wasted. Mittens was in fact elected to the CSM and the chair...and then he screwed up.
He's the ONLY person any of you "I CAN HAZ RELECTION?" people should be mad at.
If you feel like mittens stepping down was a waste of your vote, take it up with him. He "wasted" it. Here's to fire. Not the fast and furious kind that burns down shacks and shanties, but the slow, seductive kind that takes down pants and panties - Irish Toast |

As the CSM is supposed to "represent society interests to CCP", and no actually make any rules or have any power other than "minor oversight" (as evidenced by Incara), a re-vote seems almost mandatory. Whether or not you support or voted for The Mittani (I did not BEEP BEEP), you can easily see how those votes are actually as if they were never cast. Voter turnout should be the primary objective of any election and since there are no longer any alternates (whoops), the best and most effective way to ensure that CCP does not reincarnate Incara is to have a re-vote and ensure that there are the full number of EFFECTIVE voices there to provide the necessary oversight to make sure the benefits that have already started to show fruit are not wasted.
And lets be real folks, Mittens surely knows the correct people at CCP and if you think his influence is any less or more simply because he is officially on the CSM or the chair of the CSM, you are seriously delusional. I want the CSM to be as effective as possible, but overall I want EVE to be a good game. |

Nobody was disenfranchised. Your votes were cast, and counted, and your candidate elected.
Your candidate was removed from office after he won the election. It's not as if your votes were never tallied...were that the case, there would have been no office to remove him from.
It is the responsibility of the voter to choose his candidate wisely.
It is the responsibility of the candidate to conduct himself appropriately in the best interest of his constituents.
There is a line of succession in place. That's what the alternates are for. "So you die, Captain, and we all move up in rank." There's even precedent for this.
I understand that you're upset by events. I would be too were it my candidate. However, that doesn't simply waive your responsibility as voters, his responsibility as a CSM candidate/member, and CCP's responsibility to uphold the rules that are already in place.
You can't just suddenly decide you don't like the rules because this time around they don't favour your interests.
Edit: To do that would disenfranchise the 80% of voters who wisely chose a candidate that didn't get themselves ejected. |

Actually, there are NO alternates this year, so the precedent does not apply in this situation at all. There is one less member than initially voted for. And based on the previous year's work and the influence that Mittens had on CCP after the fiasco that was Incara, can you truly say that the vote was poorly placed? I, and many others, would hastily disagree with anyone who thinks (honestly) otherwise.
Even Riverini of all people said that Mittens had done a good job in the lead up to this CSM election. |

Actually, there are NO alternates this year, so the precedent does not apply in this situation at all. I was under the impression that the top 7 candidates were on the CSM, and the next 7 were alternates. Is that not the way it has worked in the past?

Even Riverini of all people said that Mittens had done a good job in the lead up to this CSM election. What Mittani has done in the past, good or bad, is irrelevant. Past good deeds do not erase later bad ones, or "entitle" him to anything.
And while it's not for me to decide whether or not the vote was poorly placed, recent events would suggest it was considering that person was found guilty of an EULA breach and banned. It's probably not something that could have been predicted, but it is what it is. People who voted for Roosevelt's 4th term couldn't have predicted that he'd die shortly into his term. They ended up with Truman regardless. |

With The Mittani receiving almost 20% of the votes all alone, that is a huge number of voters whose voice will no longer be heard on the CSM. Is this how CCP wants to have the "player's voice" influenced? With the positive changes they have been making and the beneficial support that CSM6 has given to CCP in a trying year, I believe they will want to do the right thing here and ensure that the disenfranchised voter's voice is heard.
Well if he received almost 20% that means there is nearly 80% of those who voted who are still happy with the out come.
I think nearly 80% represents more of the player base then nearly 20%..
The fact that you could not even be bother to figure out the exact number (was going to say it isn't difficult but you a Goon Pet Pubbie so I will forgive) shows how much you care
Any way, we Pubbie and Pub-Lords do not hate you
WE LOVE YOU

Disclaimer: the names are just picked randomly.
Say, Seleene tomorrow also breaks the EULA (NDA, whatever). His voters now are disenfranchised. Re-vote ? Of course !
Say, Green Lee resigns because of some unexpected RL stuff. His voters now are disenfranchised. Re-vote ? Of course !
But well, no need to imagine things. Mintrolio's voters, they are disenfranchised like right now. Re-vote should have started yesterday, I'd say. <<Insert some waste of screen space here>> |

Re-vote, special election....call it what you want. It happens when positions are not properly filled for any number of reasons. And with their being no alternates this year, it seems that it is the only logical choice. Have everyone vote and the winner gets the spot. |

The CSM7 positions WERE properly filled. Voting took place and the results were announced by CCP. Mittens had the most votes and indeed won his slot on the CSM and the chair on top of that. THEN he screwed up.
The CSM was not tainted in any way. What mittens did was not associated with any CSM activity.
No reason for a re-election. Here's to fire. Not the fast and furious kind that burns down shacks and shanties, but the slow, seductive kind that takes down pants and panties - Irish Toast |
