Too many candidates, too little time.
Before the elections I'll have to take a weekend day to read up on them all...

Yes. That is the uncomfortable question every candidate must be forced to answer: "Where do you stand in regard to 'the Code?' No niggling or hemhawing, state clearly for the record, "For" or "Against."

That's not the point. The point is to know whether the candidate is pro-miner or pro-ganker. That's the dividing line among the EVE player base. It's like gay marriage or global warming. If you know which side a candidate stands on the issue, you can guess where they stand on about anything else.

Gandalf? You want ******* Gandalf? I don't recall being granted the powers of the Istarii as being part of the deal for being elected. We don't get to 1v1 Devs or GMs who make proposals we don't like on a shaky rock bridge over a bottomless chasm. We get to make the strongest argument we can for or against, in a professional, accountable environment.

I have listened carefully to your points, but I am just predicting future performance based on past results...

- It's historical fact that CSM's are stacked with nullsec-centric players. You say 'not a bad thing', or 'we can represent all views' -- I say look at your own words about nullsec mechanics 'being a priority'...while Rome has been burning in hisec.
- CSM's ultimately can't stop CCP from making bad decisions.

So again, as a guy in hisec seeing what makes EvE great being slowly killed by a death of 1,000 cuts, while the CSM's collectively focus on modular POS's et al, I ask...what value CSM?

Would you like to know more?

Then go ask them on the CSM Campaign forum, yeesh.

You're going to find your ballot to be pretty small, though.

I make the same prediction as you regarding the composition of the CSM, because you (and people like you) have proven that you're absolutely immune to any reasoning that would lead you (and people like you) to take action to change it.

I've done my level best to try and persuade you that if you feel unrepresented and neglected, then participating and leading others who share your concerns is going to be more productive than sulking and whining, but your dedication to your sulk/whine strategy is too strong for me to overcome.

As you wish, amen.

PS Are you under the impression that modular POS would not be implemented in hi-sec for some reason?

I've got so many more CSM interviews to listen to! We've got a lot of good choices, but a lot of my slots are still open. Declarations of War is supposed to be doing a thing with multiple candidates at once that I look forward to not only participating in, but also listening to. I think that will be a really cool way to get information from those running.

I've been reading all the threads because i wanted to know all the options and probably i will vote for low/npc-small alliance null candidates, but i'm not sure yet. I only know that i won't vote for any high sec candidate, indy or pvper.

I strongly advise the you not seperate candidates as "hi-sec" or "null-sec". Evaluate the platforms on their own merits.

It is not because they are from high sec, i have nothing against high sec. It is because i don't like the campaigns/suggestions they are making.
