Jita Park Speakers Corner

Congratulations reaching the qualifying number of endorsements and good luck on the final ballot. It's going to be a very interesting election this year and it's just getting started.

Thank you for appearing on the second Voices from the Void CSM 8 candidate panel. It was a n insightful discussion and your participation is appreciated. Your current and future supporters can find the episode by going to this link. It was a pleasure to have you on the Voices podcast and I hope to have you back again soon. Good luck in the upcoming final election.

Unforgiven Storm will be on my recommended ballot.

Personally I will endorse a few people that I think are will be excellent CSM Members and will help this game become better.

I'm not going to suggest an order and this list is my personal list, not something I want others to follow blindly.

I think that everybody should have free will and should choose its candidates and the order they want them in their list and not follow other people lists just because. One thing I hate is having people tell me what to do, I like to think for myself.

I like to read what others have to say, who they endorse and why. Most of the times they raise issues I missed, sometimes those opinions clarify issues I have. They bring to the table different perspectives that helps me build a better and more complete opinion about candidates and that is always good.

The final word about who to put in the list and the order belongs to the voter not the candidate they support in first place.

I have a quick question, which I hope you do not think is rude, because that is by no means the intention of it.

As you are through to the next round, where we have to select a number of candidates based on our order of preference, I was wondering if you could clarify the following for me:

You stated that you are a non-bloc candidate, and I realise you are running as an independent, however, you are a member of Goonswarm Federation, and as such, have the potential to be included on their bloc listing.

I intend to vote so that the non-bloc candidates which I support have the highest listings on my preferences (In all honesty, there are not many industrial candidates, so you will be fairly near the top either way), so I was wondering if you could let us know whether you are aware if you are on the bloc-voting list. I know there are many many null focused candidates, so it could be that you are way down their listing due to your lower focus on PvP/Sov.

I apologise for the crappy way in which I am phrasing this question, but, basically, I want to ensure that my votes are as useful as possible, and if you are already a shoe-in, then whilst I will still have you fairly high on my list, I would prefer my first few place votes to go to others, so that we get the most versatile CSM possible.

This sounds like I am not going to vote for you, that is not the case, I very much like your platform, but want to ensure the other indy or new player or whatever non-pvp/SOV candidates get a decent look-in.

God I suck at posting.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Madeline

I don't have access or talk with leadership of my alliance. Any information I have is by talking with one of my corp directors, he is my point of contact when I have questions. I only talk with him 3 times about my candidacy, one was when I decided to run, I didn't want to cause a problem to my corp so I ask them if it was ok, if the alliance will not create them problems.

I got the green light, I was told that my alliance didn't care about me I can do whatever I wanted but I was on my own, I cannot use the alliance name or count on them for nothing.

Second contact was last week, my director contact me and told me there was going to be created a NULL sec list and I had no place on it, I wasn't an official null sec candidate and The Mittani hates industrialists, he even post that 2 days ago:

My last contact was on 1st April, my director told me that the alliance wasn't supporting some 0.0 candidate for whatever reason and 1 spot between the 10 and 14th place in the list had open and they were considering putting me there to close the hole. Now I have to say I don't know if he as pulling a prank on me or not, but even if it is true, being in that spot, 10th or lower will make no difference...

If that happens I will not be in a position that gives me any vote at all.

I run as an independent, my alliance doesn't support me. My platform is industry, my love is industry, I want the best for all. I want to fight and defend industry in the CSM, I don't care if it is high-sec, low-sec or null-sec.

Man, I know sov null-sec is serious spaceship biz, but I'd be f-ing leaving if I got devalued like that. Don't know why you put up with it.

Either way, industrialists *do* matter, they should have a voice, and I'm putting you somewhere in my top 2-5.

By your reply in post 70 made me wonder why on earth you are in that alliance still?

As an industrialist you should be more than able to find a better home, or even go solo and socialize and network as an independent. If you end up with an actual seat on CSM your risking a sudden love shower of attention from you ralliance..

I was just wondering if you should not cut your ties before the next round of election at least if nothing else to show you are truly independent and not part of the blocks.

Its time!

I'm the only industrialist candidate in the ballot.

If you want the CSM to have an industry representative, now is the time to vote for me.

I need you, every vote counts!

Vote for me.

Thank you all for your support.

I unreservedly recommend Unforgiven. Find him a place on your voting lists, because if EVE's economy isn't working right, nothing else will either.
