Voting hasn't opened up yet. I'd expect it to open tomorrow, after downtime.

Woo! CSM XI!

The folks above answered the 'when do we vote'

How will be you choosing your candidates and prioritizing up to 14 of them 1st choice, 2nd choice all the way through.

You do not HAVE to vote for 14, you could vote for one and hope for the best or 9 if that is how many of the 77 you liked. The list will be randomized on the voting page (if it is like last year) but you will be able to search by name and then drag them onto the ballot you make.

You can rearrange the list till you have it the way you want it then hit the button and off it goes. For each paying acct that you have that qualifies as a voter (account, not character) you can vote the same or different. Whatever floats your boat.

I vote as many times as I can, wearing a different wig each go around until I get caught.
Then, I don a "boy am I stupid" look on my face, and claim I have no idea how this thing works!

To all capsuleers, please do vote for this CSM X.

With a field of 77 candidates this year, there has never been that many players willing to put themselves on the line amd spend the efforts to get elected.

Regardless of who you choose to vote for, do not listen to those saying that filling less than the 14 slots on your voting sheet is fine.

You can do it, yes, but by doing so you give even more power to the big blocks to trust all 14 positions.

Fill your ballot form entirely, and if you need more info on the how STV vote works, check this video.

The CSM needs independant players, that can communicate to CCP about your game without the filter of the personnel interest of the large blocs leaderships and other community leaders.

I am not the only one to represent independant voices, free from the influences of the larger groups.
I will publish soon on my campaign a list of the other new and independant candidates, like myself, that I believe are worth voting for and adding to your ballot, even if it is on the last slots of your ballot. Check it out before you cast your vote, and again make sure to fill the 14 slots.

It is already obvious from the field that this CSM will have a large representation of the power blocs. It is up to you to keep the final selection of 14 candidates as varied as possible to represent all the styles of play, including yours.

Vote fully!

Got nothing to do? Then exercise your Democratic right and go vote for the CSM.

My that's a lot of people to chose from, if only there was a way to know which ones to vote for. Well great news, we have done all the hard work for you!

Highsec sperg: But dem alls be nasty nullblob types.

Quite right peasant and its that way for a reason. This is the year that CCP "fixes" sov and all of the above are dedicated to ridding us of the current terrible system and replacing it with one that will;

  • Reduce goons to one region.
  • Deal with the 20,000 supers (we arn't kidding, ******* things are everywhere) out there to end their reign of invulnerable **** machines.
  • Make it worth living in nullsec without blanket nerfs to highsec
  • Crush T3s beneath the collective heel of their boots
  • End the reign of the sentry doctrine.

    • The non voting masses: Why should I bother voting, its not like my vote will matter.

    Oh you couldn't be more wrong. By exercising your democratic right and voting for the correct candidates you are making sure not only that **** gets done but that **** gets done right. CCP cannot afford to flunk this test and so they need the best advice possible from the most experienced people in the game.

    Here is the link as promised

    You can let someone else tell you how to vote or you can exercise your free will and do a bit of reading/researchig and decide for yourself. Secret ballot means you can even vote against the wishes of whoever is telling you what to do.

    Go, vote. You have some time but do not wait too long.

    and good luck to all the candidates

    I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

    Yeah no, block voting is one of the reasons it's not worth voting.

    Reasonable nice persons Sugar Kyle and Steve Ronuken are on that list. Maybe some other reasonable ones as well. What's going on here?
