OP - sorry dude,
The Mittani resigned of his own volition.
He stated he would and followed through.

That's how democracy works, if a winning candidate (for any reason) can not serve, there is no revote.

You should take pride in the fact that The Mittani outlined his 3 steps and followed through.
The only thing CCP did was issue a 30 day ban.

Until such a time as the 10000 players who were silenced be allowed to revote. Stand down in solidarity against CCP using the CSM as a marketing/PR tool instead of what it was originally intended as: The players' voice.

If you actually read anything he said anywhere, he only resigned the chairmanship. CCP twisted his wording in the dev blog. Glad to see you did your homework though.

I absolutely agree that the entire CSM should step down.

Not because of poor little Alex getting what he deserved. But because the CSM failed:

* to act in a timely manner
* to recognize that his removal from the CSM was absolutely necessary
* for offering support to The Mittani to remain on the CSM after he took the weak step of resigning only from the chairmanship and not the entire CSM
* for failing to be 100% behind his removal from the first minute you saw the panel

Every single one of you WEAK CSMs should resign immediately and let the entire team of CSM alternates to step into your shoes... immediately.

Of course, you won't, because you couldn't figure out "the right thing to do" even if someone were to post it under your nose for you.

Uhm, not all the CSM!

Even people in positions of real political power don't sit around for days discussing something so damning.

i literally have no more room to store tears. i've got all this ice to mine and put on my itty and take it to jita to sell. you folks keep distracting me with all these delicious threads crying how the world has wronged you. maybe you could start up a wow account. i understand your glorious leader has a 30 day vacation, take him with you. they have cool swords and sparkly vampires there.

next time vote for a real candidate like darius and you can sit back and listen to your barry manilow cassette tapes all day long secure in the knowledge that you voted for a candidate who will serve his entire term.

Of course they frigging do. Everywhere. ALL THE TIME. Where the hell do you live?
Besides, you're contradicting yourself. The CSM is hardly a real political power, so by default they WILL take an age to "discuss something so damning"...

@OP - I would have liked Mittens to stay on the CSM but hey, no amount of protestation is going to change things now. We can be quite sure CCP took legal advice before they made their decision, so any amount of claiming shennanigans are going to hit a brick wall.

It's done and dusted.

Now get your sh*t together and go burn Jita. Most of Eve is planning to come watch

Welp, hope you use Jita well for the 30 days you have. Jita is going to be 'out of bounds' after that.

To all the bad posters bumping my thread: Thank you.

I knew obviously that D3 (rabid goon hater) and Isler (first on the emo kneejerk bandwagon) wouldn't step down in support of having a new CSM election to allow the 10000 to revote.

My plea is to those CSM members who have more than two brain cells to rub together. Particularly Seleene, Two Step and Vile Rat. What are your responses?

Please cry me a river. You set your money on the wrong horse... what a pitty.

Nixon was the peoples choice here in the US.

He resigned. No one was disenfranchised. There was no "re-vote."

True story.

Oh, **** it, let's just do the whole fartfucking election over again.

CSM7, resign! Just do it!

(We love you and will elect you again <3 )

Durr hurrrrr I dont understand anything about player retention ohgod wont somebody thrill me please

Anyone who voted for the X-Chairman should take their problems about lost votes up with him.

You voted for him and he screwed up on a camera.

HTFU

Why thank you for that informative and helpful poast~

Your welcome, you bet on the wrong horse, it broke a leg and someone shot it. You don't get to vote again because you wasted your vote.

That's what you think, and I have this thing right here. It says you're wrong.

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 is the one who "wasted" your vote.

While I didn't vote for the mittens I can see why a election should take place. CCP effectively tossed out over 10k in votes, Which means those ppl who voted for mittens have no voice with the CSM. It wouldn't take much effort to run the election over and it wouldn't cost CCP anything. The fallout from this is still rippling across the water and will take time to settle. But I believe that if elections aren't done over it could hamper the efforts of CSM 7 and future CSMs to come.

Bump!

Hey best step back from Issler! He is the best CSM rep out there. Principles above all!

lol im a nobody and I hate mittens because he's spacefamous.

CSM without a democratically mandated chairman is doomed to the irrelevancy and ::lolfreeicelandtix:: of CSM 2-5. As a former member of the CSM, I'd think you would care enough to do something to correct that, Jade. Nah, much easier to crucify mittens out of hatred.

Thing is I think he was a pretty terrible influence on CSM6 and his "reforms" have made the CSM project less transparent, less accountable and more inclined to a "block votes win a free holiday to iceland" direction than actually representing a diverse range of player interests. Add in the embarrass CCP and the eve player base in the eyes of the gaming world by getting drunk and calling on people to harrassed into suicide thing - and you have a disaster of a csm chair who is best forgotten.

That's your opinion and all, but a large majority of players think otherwise

The Majority of EvE just don't care, that's why voter turn out is so low.

And after this ******** incident, expect turnout to be even less.

Probably so.

I support this service / product.


This CSM is innefective and totally non representative of the playerbase.

New ellections should be called.

And each candidate should have a appointed replacement of the same "party".

hurr duurrrr circular logic + troll = AWESOME deerrrrrp

Still no CSM joint response or a CCP response to the calls for a revote for 10000 disenfranchised voters. Glad to see that the CSM concept is more relevant and important than ever.

Woooo free tickets to iceland!

CCP has issued a statement in the forums on it actually maybe you should keep up.

Oh you mean that post in the thread about the devblog? Yeah well I think it was a bad call and I'm not the only one who thinks that. Stop trying to silence the 10000 and get skilled with fire.

I'm a bad and am ignorant in all things election related.

Keep on stalking my post, brah!

Abloo bloo blooo bloo, I'm a bad.
