CSM Campaigns

The people can decide by not voting. You're post here is not for a campaign, you have made it clear you will not serve on the CSM, and thus this entire post is not fit for this section of the forum. You clearly have absolutely nothing of value to add to this community.

You want the CSM to be destroyed for what? Out of some strange idea that you think CCP will then stop listening to players? They most certainly won't, and if anything you'll give more power to the groups you hate. It's also a joke to think that you getting votes will do anything to destroy the CSM in the first place. Once again this is a badly thought out plan with no hope of success, and all you are doing here is clogging up a serious forum with your shockingly irrational anger filled rubbish.

ISDs should just move this to GD where it belongs. The CSM campaigns forum is for CSM campaigns, not for whining about the existence of the CSM.

Edit: Out of curiosity, what exactly is the best you can hope for? I mean if CCP even lets you run (which I doubt since you've stated that you won't actually be on the CSM), the best you can hope for is you get some votes, get in, get booted and they replace you with the next member on the vote list.

No I totally understand the point, they are considering this the joke it is and going along with it. I don't take my lead from them, being an individual and all, I form my own opinions, and IMHO I don't think that joke campaigns have any place in this particular forum. If this guy wants to cry about the existence of the CSM and come up with yet another crazy scheme to accomplish nothing he should do it in the sections of the forum designated for nonsense posts.

You think its a joke? Its not. https://www.themittani.com/features/csm-reform-proposal educate yourself by all means.

Edit: I also have lost my like button. I can no longer "thumbs up" a post. Any assist to fix this would be welcomed as theres a good ongoing thread over in ships I'd like to contribute too.

Point is CCP needs to reform CSM. Even if it started out as a cynical ploy to just shut us up after the greed gate riots, Its lost its power now and needs re looking at. Sion, Gevlon, CSM reps all the way back to CSM 1... they all saying the same thing man.

Maybe ya think Gevlons a joke? hey how about every single person votes just for sion and leaves every other card blank then? so he is our only rep and we send him to CCP with the platform "hey your customers think you should take customer relations seriously"?

Is that a joke?

Gevlon has stated he will not stand.

That is what Lucas thinks is a joke.....if he was to stand on a platform of "I will push for the CSM being broken up and recreated in another form", then that would be a platform.

Xenuria is running on a reform platform, as are several others. They have actually said they will be on the CSM.

I strongly suggest you to not vote at all! CCP sees which players who were busy voters in the previous years stopped voting.

One of the crucial problems of CSM is the total inaccountability of representatives, members can even do what Corbexx did with no consequences. You don't know me. You don't know what I'd do in the council, especially if I get a high vote. Maybe I'm a narcissistic little **** who just enjoys being important. Or maybe I can be "convinced" to participate, just like Blawrf was convinced by The Mittani to reconsider his position. It's easy to judge Corbexx, but you don't know what happened to him and how you'd act in his place.

You can trust in devs, since their employer would stand behind them in the case of a doxxing/cyberbullying/defaming attack but would destroy their career or even press charges if they'd take bribe. The company has money, lawyers and a very strong reason to not let EVE be destroyed. You can trust in this institutional system, you can trust capitalism and the legal system. You definitely can't trust a random nerd who use to rant about EVE.

Don't vote for me, vote for nobody!

I endorse this product and/or service

"None of the above" is the "none of the above" option. You may think that voting for Gevlon will give an idea of how many players believe the CSM should be written off, but in reality they will simply see it as more players voting.

The thing is, I doubt the CSM is going anywhere, since there are an awful lot of people that would see the removal of the CSM as CCPs refusal to engage with players and they would quit. And whether you like it or not, the CSM does a lot of great things. It definitely needs more attention from CCP developers, but it certainly doesn't need to be removed.

Also, I don't think you've really thought through what voting just for Gevlon (who won't be on the CSM and so will be removed regardless of vote count) or voting for noone will actually do. I won't spoil it though, I'll let you work that one over.

I agree, and that's my goal, because I believe an player impact is bad for the game, as players want advantage for themselves against other players.

I approve this
