with some updates to the user interface


I remember the interface being a problem last year. Can you provide details on the updated ui? Will we be able to see a mock up before the election?

Glad to see the elections are actually happening this year after all...

Also, all w-space voters should seriously consider voting for Corbexx. See his thread here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=330774

I think the mockup will look something like this: http://www.spaceg.com/multimedia/collection/politics/Election%202000/Florida%20ballot.jpg

... or maybe that was a different ballot I'm thinking of. Pirate

Are RL names published again this year? Of course CCP needs to know the RL names due to NDA, but do we as player really need to know it? I don't think so.

Yay new white paper.

Needs a version date on it some where, so people will know it is a new one. And when it was published.

Edit: how will the new forums section be handled/ cleaned up where will the posts go when the official candidates list comes out?

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.

Greetings,

Recently returned player here. Having participated in voting in a few CSM elections while I was playing previously and being in general very disappointed in the actions, inaction, and features the CSM has advocated over the years along with the politics involved I feel their usefulness is minimal if not dubious at best. I feel CCP should disband the CSM and redirect its resources and efforts elsewhere.

Is there a way through the voting process, other than simple abstention, to indicate my dissatisfaction with the CSM to CCP? Though it is early to judge the candidates for CSM 9 I suspect the various choices will be as dismal as in previous elections. If abstention remains the only option available to us then so be it. If another option exists a link pointing to directions to exercise that option would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well, my usual suggestion would be to create a posting alt and hit the forums, but it appears you have already done that...

Have you even looked at the candidates? Are you unhappy with the rather wide selection, or with the CSM process as a whole?

If you are really that unhappy with the candidates, perhaps you should be running yourself? That is why I ran, and got elected twice.

If you are dissatisfied with all the candidates (or the whole idea of the CSM) you can allways run for CSM yourself on a platform of 'Dismantle the CSM'

Ah, well this character isn't a forum alt just my main. I'm normally just a reader of the forums. Needless to say under most circumstances I don't see a compelling reason to post.

I am beginning to review the candidates now and as in the past I am at best disappointed by what I see. Besides the lack of "good candidates" I find the CSM to be of little use. I can't see much of what the CSM claims credit for as compelling, useful, or otherwise improving the game. Understand this is just my humble opinion.

As I feel the CSM should not exist it seems a waste of my time and the time of my fellow players to indulge the process by becoming a candidate. I'd rather speak with my vote for what its worth and baring that my wallet. Keeps things simple.

If CCP has not deemed to include an option to express one's dissatisfaction with the CSM in the vote then I will have to settle with abstention.

Thank you for your suggestions though.

Okay, so your real question is: Will I be able to vote without voting or will the system compel me to pad a ballot with choices, even if I find them all unpalatable?

Personally, I don't remember how it worked last year, but I like that idea of being able to submit a ballot with only 1 or 2 people (or 0), selected. I would however want there to be a confirmation dialog or checkbox you have to hit indicating that you are knowingly submitting a partially selected/complete ballot. That sounds like it would do what you want (and again, I don't remember last year, so hopefully someone will pipe in ... heck, its the forums, I'm SURE someone will Lol).

I dislike a pure abstention of "if you don't like it, don't bother voting" option, because that doesn't differentiate those that want to vote, and take the time to look, but dislike their choices or the system, versus those to lazy to participate at all.

You only have to vote for the people you want to vote for. No padding required.

Not entirely accurate for me. I was hoping for an option that said plainly "I vote to disband the CSM" or something similar. Baring that I would settle for either as you suggest willfully voting for no one with the statement being "none the of the candidates are acceptable." and having that statement tallied along with the votes.

Every voting cycle I believe I've seen statistics released indicating voter turnout, but never an indication of how many of the eligible voters that didn't vote did so because they felt the CSM was ineffective or unneeded. At the very least it might prove a useful metric for the CSM to do some introspection as to their usefulness or their acceptance/relevance. Again perhaps CCP has this information in some form.
