Yes silenced by the complete incompetence of your own representative that you used your precious vote to vote with.

Stop crying like a baby and move on. You should be VASTLY CONTENT that he isn't banned permanently.

Debatable. In his little speech to his Alliance, he states that CCP has "thrown him under the bus".

Ok. I'll give this one last go, but it's frustrating when you keep presenting logical arguments only for the person you're debating to essentially plug their ears and go "I refuse to listen, and will instead regurgitate my same flawed logic near-verbatim".

10,000+ votes were counted. Mittani won. That's why he had a position to be removed from. The voices were heard...that's how we know how many of them there were. They were counted, not "disregarded".

Mittani won the CSM7 election.Nobody is debating that.

His own conduct, however, led to his removal from that position. Post-election. He will now be replaced by an alternate, which is exactly why they're there in the first place.

TL;DR: You voted for someone who got themselves thrown out of office, and now have to live with the consequences of that choice.

Leaving this topic to other people to debate now, because after this I can't explain it any more clearly.

Hes full of double talk and double think. Not a shock.

Important stuff

Sorry mate, the election is over.

they voted for a guy that got himself booted. There are alternates for a reason.

Cry me a river.

It's an interesting prospect. I doubt that re-running the election would be 100% free from CCP's standpoint (it will at the very least cost a few man-hours), but it's a thought.

This of course hinges on 13 e-Politicians being able to 1. Unanimously agree on something and 2. Have that agreement be to give up their own position and hope they can repeat their election success...a prospect that seems daunting if not impossible.

It does kind of undermine the whole concept though. "Well, we don't like the rules in place for replacing a lost member so we're just all gonna quit and make you do it over".

I don't know. We'll see how it plays out, I guess.

Maybe I should have run for the CSM. Haha. :)

If the entire CSM were to resign only Issler Dainze would remain... I don't think anybody would want to risk this.

Anyways there have been enough precedents for votes not getting reimbursed - Ankh who got kicked from he CSM mid term and Kalrand who withdrew his candidacy during the election (after the polls had opened) come to mind.

putting 10,000 vote into one basket instead of going for 2-3 candidates was always very risky and tbh I don't quite understand the reasons - maybe the eve public and CCP would not have reacted well to a CSM with 3 goonswarm delegates, maybe it was intended to be a show of force, maybe just a terrible misjudgment rgd the number of votes required to get chairman.

But I'm sure it will be entertaining to have the legitimacy of the CSM questioned for its entire term.

goons arent people

This CSM has no mandate. It will be the worst CSM ever.

I see goonswarm is invoking the great "do-over" rule that is prevalent in all major sports, elections and competitions.

Hurrrrr, ohgod im a ******* terrible shitposting asshat

Why so mad bro?

Ah, so you are asking for a "do-over". Hey man, you can have whatever opinion you want but I don't think that 8 year olds like yourself should be posting on the forums without adult supervision.

He rightfully earned his spot...
and then rightfully lost his spot
It's called consequences and HTFU and welcome to EVE
I truly believe that The Mittani will get through this okay, I don't think he is a fair maiden in need of a brave knight to defend his e-honour

Other people have been kicked off the CSM and you didn't care about a "do-over" then so you are not interested in fair play. You just want a "do-over". Well maybe we can discuss this more after your nap time.

You voted and alternate will take his place. Maybe next time dont be a bot and vote for who you are told to but someone who has some sense.
