EVE General Discussion

You might want to re-check your maths. The Mittani got 17% of the votes. It is a small slice of the population, true. But if you read what SmilingVagrant said it was "17% of the active voters" Active implies to me they voted and did not stay inactive.

nothing ?

Ever heard of empeachment.....


To be brutally honest he´s lucky he still has an account, now grow up, i thought gooms were smart and like to point and laugh at people who took internet games too seriously, so why all the drama?

Last I heard, CCP was claiming 400,000 subscribers, 10,000 would be 2.5% of that.
And yes I read it, you can put political spin on anything to make it seem important, but 97% of the population could care less about your poor deposed Queen.


I wonder how many he would have gotten if CCP instituted a one year minimum age for voters?

How about it CCP, can't really fix it now, all those Alts have already been bought.
What you should have done is required all subscriptions that wanted to vote be older than 1 year, and the account active during the entire year preceeding it.
At least then we might have had a possibility of a non-rigged election that couldn't be easily bought with Moongoo.



Still wondering what happened to the Goons Forum Champions? The really loud ones seem to have all disappeared at the same time? Something up?

mittens only received a total of the 3% of the active accounts in eve online. That being said i dont think many will care if he is gone or not.

BUT there are other candidates the votes should be re-done to other candidates

Not mine, sorry to disappoint. I am not a Goon and have no desire to join SomethingAwful to become one. You are missing the key point - people are talking about the VOTERS. Not those that chose not to vote. That is where the 17% number comes from.

However, if you look at it over characters instead of voters then yes, the percentage is much lower although none of us know the actual subscription numbers. But they do not care enough to vote so what happens in the vote does not impact them. Ignore them.

Most of us are busy warring. I'm not in a position to play Eve at the moment so I continue to ~post~.

Yeah the thoughts of non voters is immaterial. It doesn't matter what they want. And they have no interest in how the game is run beyond what is directly in front of their noses at any rate.

He's using idiot fuzzy math and logic to attempt to skew a result to sound less favorable to his side of the argument. It's not a matter of that huge percentage of players not caring about The Mittani. That huge percentage didn't care about the CSM as a whole. Thus their views on what is going on in the CSM right now is irrelevant.

This is totally fkn Moses coming down from the mountain type wisdom.

I see you don't have a response to the substance of the post, beyond what your dislike of Goons allow you to see.



That is well said. It is not about Goonswarm and people should not let their dislike of the Mittani or the Goons cloud their judgement on what has essentially become a tainted election. No disrespect to the current CSM; I do believe you will all get in again on the same merit you got in on before.

But I would like to put this whole mess behind us and move on with a CSM that has been elected by all the people that care enough about EVE and the direction it is going in to vote. Until that happens, I can't see the CSM as legitimate or representative of the people that vote. In no electoral system would you remove 17% of the voters and still see the governing body as being representative. It is just simply unfair - and people will see that if they remove their anti-Goon blinkers.

P.S. You guys did have another candidate, Lyris Nairn Skycaptain of our hearts. Placed second from the bottom or somewhere around there with a number of votes for her avatar
