The White Paper seems pretty clear to me on how this all goes down; where exactly did CCP change the voting schemata? Page 16 of the CSM governing document clearly states that if the Chairman is in any way removed (voluntarily or involuntarily) from his/her seat, the CSM members hold an internal election for the Chair.

This was in place long before the current debacle, no?


Not trolling, I'm asking honestly: at what point did the document change from something else to its current iteration? Where were changes made along the line?

Mittani stepped down from CSM 6 and was ineligible to sit in CSM 7. The chair never existed and the highest vote total of the eligible candidates was Two step.

It strikes me as odd that the white paper would suggest the guy with the most votes should be Chair, but if they are removed then the next highest vote guy doesn't matter. Is there reasoning behind this or is it really as nonsensical as it seems?

Two step had been publicly lauded as the goon's favourite choice of replacement Chair. It was simply too big an opportunity to wind you guys up a little-weeny bit more by choosing a Supercap fan as Chair going forwards

Man you aren't even entertaining as a low content troll. Must have been all those years running the space brothel, it just took it right out of you.

I've noticed you guys REALLY can't take a bit of humour when its directed at you.

Maybe be funny and people will laugh????

if you take a look outside your alliance chat you'll see that pretty much everybody else IS laughing

Ok?

tell you what, have a sympathy space like and I'll stop taking the mickey for a bit.

Ok?

You goons really need to get out of your alliance chat more with answers like "Ok?" on people laughing..Everyone is still laughing at you Goons. Your corp started so well but you are a stagnant rotting corpse of what once was.

Good switch, I think you'll definitely have more luck getting into Jades pants than Isslers what with the space brothel and all that....

With CSM7's term beginning on April 4th, I now exercise my right as the winner of the election with 10,058 votes to decline the office of Chairman. It will then be up to CSM7 as a group to decide how to proceed regarding the Chair.

More tears please.

So let's see how this actually works.
Elections are done, all votes are in and counted.
Drama happens.
The Mittani himself says that he exercises his right as the winner of the election to decline chairmanship and that it will be up to CSM7 as a group to decide how to proceed in regards to the chair.

Whitepaper clearly indicates that :

"If the Chairman decides to step down or rescind his responsibility at any time for any reason, a vote must be held among Representatives to elect another Chairman"

I think all rules were followed by the letter.

But ofcourse there will always be people yelling "WOLF" , mostly those who gain least and / or lose most.

Well if we can move past the RL personal harrassment and ongoing attempts to ruin my professional reputation by posting my RL picture alongside allegations of child sex abuse by the goonswarm directorate, then perhaps we could have a proper discussion of precisely why you think the election of a replacement chair was improperly handled.

Do you think you are intellectually-capable of putting aside the ooc harrassment for long enough to have that discussion?
