Xenuria at the risk of being labeled as a troll by yourself I do have some genuine questions/concerns about your campaign.

First off is that your corp history is scary long, you seem to not be able to stay in a corp for longer than a month at any time which shows a history of instability which is not good for a CSM campaigner. Why is this the case and I'm curious as to how you feel you can be a stable and active CSM member in light of this.

Another is that you seem to handle criticism extremely poorly and lash out by either calling people trolls or just pretending they don't exist which is also a bad thing for a member of a political party even if it is space politics, you will no doubt come under attack by members of the public who don't approve of your actions if you were to be elected and attacking them is only going to cause things to escalate further, you will also come under attack from other members of the CSM both in public and behind closed doors and you need to be able to keep your cool and frankly I don't think you would be able to do so.

The third is that you personally seem to have had a history of controversy surround you which has caused some animosity with people in the community. How do you see yourself overcoming this?

You seem intent on becoming part of the CSM and while I don't agree with your motivations I wouldn't actively want to try and harm a campaign but there are some serious concerns to be addressed.

Hope the votes help
Proper use of your money.
No chance of waste.

I hope you at least did it with PLEX and scammed money, so you didn't have to work for it yourself.
Everything else, you're using your money/time to vote for a candidate failing both compared to other candidates, and compared to no candidate at all, and in competition with voters who, at least for the null-sec vote - and in part for other areas with coherent, functioning groups -, is better organised, both internally and between groups, and have equivalents of party lists... in other words, you have to spend a lot to make any impact.
But it gets worse!
With your claim (And I gotta say, I doubt your honesty), you're doing exactly what Xenuria wants to abolish as a possibility. You're using practises to elect a candidate who doesn't want anyone to get elected that way (Except, I'd wager, that Xenuria runs on the platform of "Xenuria in the CSM; whatever it takes", as Kiryen O'Bannon eloquently put it before). Furthermore, when your attempt to buy the vote fails, it will be another example of why Xenurias current platform is worthless and even when attempted, doesn't work for those without the proper means, and for those with the proper means, is unnecessary and a dumb expense.

So, here's my prediction: Your "several accounts" will make no difference, you should have bought a couple of hundred.

You used them to vote for a failing candidate, who can't get elected in a fair election. Furthermore, your method puts either your own understanding of the candidates' platform in question, or the degree to which your candidate truly believes in his own platform. Furthermore, if you paid for these accounts from your own pocket, it seriously puts your sanity into question.
Effectively, you're paying for the privilege that, for a well-connected candidate in the CFC/N3/PL/etc, is a single ping away, and I'm willing to bet ISK that a null-sec ping is more effective in terms of voters than the upper limit of how many accounts(accounts) you're economically and mentally able to produce.

I hope you're counter-trolling, like I assume of Aram, but if you're honest, I like this excellent example of the Xenuria voter.

What on earth are you talking about? I don't recall any elected CSM member being removed for being critical of CCP.

I think he's talking about Funky Bacon.

Where, after he pissed off CCP developers (A: HR issues aren't a CSM issue. And B: people had just had friends lose their jobs. his post on it didn't go down well at all) we (The CSM) had a talk with him. And he pretty much flat out said he thought posting that kind of story was more important than maintaining a good relationship with CCP devs (note, I'm saying Devs, not the company. it wasn't the high ups he'd pissed on). At which point, we (the CSM) figured he was more trouble than he was worth (The story burnt capital, for no benefit at all.) at which point we shifted our general chat to a different channel, which he didn't have access to.

He still had the same degree of access to CCP. He could still talk to the rest of the CSM (he didn't, really) He just didn't see the day to day bullshitting.

Woo! CSM XI!

Sorry dude but no. The average female in EVE is unlikely to vote for you (speaking as a female and as someone who knows a large number of females in game)

Also I noticed you ignored my questions.

He always does, this isn't new. I am female as well and I didn't vote for him. I know a number of fellow female players as well, and same applies. heh. I have seen his attempts for a few years and I usually refrain from commenting, but this year I guess I felt like I had to?

What I fear is that I keep seeing people placing "troll" votes to him, and so the scary part of this, so many people are speaking up on these troll votes, and what if all these troll votes actually gets him in?

It seems like he also doesn't take any of this seriously from reading all his posts and what not, it seems more like a joke to him, vs the people who truly want to help make a difference in this game, those votes should go to candidates who truly want to represent the community, not this.

And that is my two cents, take it as you will.

I would like to remind everybody that if you have not already voted, you should probably do that. If you have any accounts that you have not voted with you should do that as well. It's easy to forget which accounts you voted with when you have many of them.

You still haven't answered why voting for you isn't a mistake so I don't see any reason to vote for you. I still don't have any confidence that you have the best interest of the community at large at heart and you ignoring questions and calling people trolls isn't helping.

Voted Xenuria. The guy takes the time to know his ****/what he's talking about, and genuinely cares. It's more then 90% of the other people campaigning. Power to Xenuria, glory to change, expect transition, life finds a way....

In case you missed the first post of the thread, I won't be answering loaded questions. Doing so could be seen as engaging flame bait.
