Assembly Hall

So, After all this mess, the end result is that a huge mass will remain with their voices unheard in the next council.

Even if CCP wont adimit that, this rendered the Council totally not representative of the playerbase.

And that will happen just because theres no logic system in place to replace someone that opt out his position.

Taking the next in line is not the best method. And, leaving the position unattended like CCP wants is even worse.


In real life elections, usually a candidate has a vice, a seccond in line that supports his views and standings, and is able to carry on his work in case the worst happens.


The proposal I put forward tot he CSM is simple:


Let from now on the candidates to CSM appoint a vice. Should anything happen, this vice would be able to step forward, keeping the representative system intact and thus not disregarding the will of the voters who chosed one candidate over other.

I think CCP should ban all Goon players since they have publicly declared that they want to destroy our game. Why does CCP put up with the crap. It seems easy enough to track down and ban all players with Goon in there alliance/corp associations...

Not our game, just your game. They don't want to ruin EVE, they just want to ruin your day.

Just one example of how understanding doesn't necessarily lead to friendship ;)

Are you referring to the random blog post on April 1st by some random player claiming that someone who barely made it into the top-7 of the CSM is going to be chairing the CSM? Ha.

Well since Two Step was Second after Mittani, Why not make him the chairman since the votes show him to be favored over the other candidates.

It isnt democratic at all. Might be simpler and >> no effort << to CCP. But isnt democratic as it dosent try to maintain the representability of the interests of the voters.

In democracies, should a president step out, his vice would come in. Should the vice die, some other representative like a president of the senate of something would step forward. Not the underdog.

Theres no sense in the next, less voted candidate stepping in.

And see, i am not advocating that someone should replace Mittens or a revote, THIS SUGESTION is in regard to the future ellections and for the betterment of the process.

Is this hate-group so blind by hate that they cant have a civil discussion without bringing the torches and the forks? Gee.

Though i get the "eggs in a basket" popular simple-minded analogy, it has no bearing in a democratic process. Its like saying let Democrats/Republicans run with 4 candidates..... makes no sense.

Not in the face!

I must admit that I chuckled reading Welsige bemoaning the absence of a fair and civil discussion. How ironic....

In any case, The Mittani's lead in votes and former position of chair was hardly in the best interests or tradition of democracy.

The CSM uses at-large voting, one of the more regressive forms of representation. Electing at-large representatives magnifies the power of minority bloc voting (read Goons). While meeting a low bar of democracy (voting), it fails more rigourous tests of fairness and substantive representation. It is for this reason that real world voting is geographically bounded by districts or ridings.

If Welsige is really concerned about improving the CSM, he should turn his attention to replacing at-large voting with a more representative system.
