I will confine my list of possible candidates to those who do not in any way represent any of the null security space power blocks.

Which is to say, I will not be voting.

Interesting, so, which nullsec bloc do I represent?

Or Psychotic Monk?

Or Sugar Kyle?

Or Mangala Solaris?

Or Mike Azariah ?

Or DJ FunkyBacon ?

Or Asayanami Dei ?

(or some of the others. I'm lazy)

Woo! CSM XI!

As a newbie, how does the voting thing actually work? Spent ~ 5 hours reading most things in the relevant subforum, couldn't find details of the mechanism. Is it in-game, on the forums, other?

It's handled on a website. It'll be linked up when it's open. Voting is anonymous, but all the ballots are released (without names)

You get to drag and drop candidate named from a big list onto another list, in the order that you want your vote applied to it.

If more people than 1/14th of the voters vote for your first candidate, then a faction of the vote of everyone who voted for them cascades to the next person on the voters ballot

If there are 1000 voters, and 4 positions, you need 250 votes to get in.

If you get 500, everyone who voted for you has half a vote applied to the second person on the their list. This cascade continues as people hit the 250 vote mark.

If there aren't enough people that hit 250, the person with the least votes is eliminated, and all the votes with them in the first position cascade to the second vote on their list.

At this point, the results are calculated again. This happens until you get everyone elected.

(if all your candidates are eliminated, your vote is removed, and the requirements recalculated)


If you're voting for around 5 or more people, your vote is running at around 95% maximum effectiveness. More is better.

Candidates often post list of who they'd suggest people vote for. If you're not feeling up to reading up on all the candidates, have a look at the lists of someone who seems reasonable to you.

Woo! CSM XI!

Check his billboard Steve. He can't understand why someone who claims to be the "hi sec candidate" would actually ever leave the safety blanket of hi sec when you can wardec corps to blow up their towers and mining ships, and bait noobs into duels in perfect safety.

No real hi sec candidate would engage in PvP where the enemy shoots back.

You know, Steve, I didn't have you on my list before, but your forthrightness in this thread is making me consider it.

So far for me it's just Mynna, Monk, Ali Arias, and Psianh Auvyander, that have been locked in.

I will vote for whoever James 315 tells me to, in whatever order he decides is best.

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

Not sure what other choices there are (none of the above will champion my wants and needs).


Since Tri is (I presume?) still a 0.0 alliance, your interests have far more in common with members of the above alliances than in opposition.

In any case, it's largely irrelevent. the CSM isn't a forum to promote alliance or bloc interest.

So Manga Solaris, then?

p.s.
Its time for regional representation on the CSM CCP, with 72% of people living in hisec CSM seats should be reserved for 3-4 hisec candidates.

Not doing so just re-enforces the sham nature of the CSM IMHO.

Such a system would be ridiculously easy to game with alts, and incredibly difficult to administer. It's a bad idea that has been comprehensively discredited, and you should feel bad for still wanting it.

That would have been Doomsdale, but he's citing fears of RL abuse from the cartels as his excuse for not stepping up.

less than one percent of voters in the csm7 election abstained

including the option is a waste of time to please people more interested in whining

What percentage of subscribed players voted in the last election?

Having the option of none of the above will give people a chance to show their dissatisfaction with the whole CSM or would this be a bad thing?
