I was joking around with a few bros from CnP and said maybe I would run for CSM chair. To my surprise an overwhelming number of people jumped at me with support and encouragement.

My final semester at college ends some time in april and I was considering running for CSM chair or some other position in the CSM were I can apply my skills as an internet spaceship expert.

However when I went to apply it gave me the following message..

"We appreciate your interest in the Council of Stellar Management but sadly you do not meet our criteria for candidacy. You need to possess an active and paying account and not be affiliated with CCP in any way. Free accounts do not give eligibility to participation in the Council of Stellar Management, yet they will be allowed to vote in the upcoming elections. Trial accounts are excluded from all participation."

I am obviously not affiliated with CCP in any way other then that I give them money each year for my subscription.

I already looked at the CSM evelopedia and did not find any clear criteria for joining. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong location can somebody point me in the right direction and tell me why I am getting this error?

Two Step is part of neither.

Onto the topic, afaik you won't be able to run for a CSM 7 chair unless you get a given number of supporters.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

I got a whiff of your special brand of insanity during "The Velvet Dawn Accords."

I would rather vote for my mailbox.

Thank you

I can't find it, but are you not meant to have an account in good standing as well? I seem to recall reading something about that. So if you have had a ban / infraction or similar does that not make you ineligible? (I'm not convinced of this, but my memory and search skills seem to be performing poorly today)

I have NEVER been banned from eve or suspended or in any way punished or warned for anything.
I have respect for EVE and a tool so I follow the rules.

As far as supporters I seriously doubt I would have ANY problems finding at least 100 people to outright and zealously support me.

My only issue is how to apply and where I can find a list of criteria and requirements.

What is a free account?

It says a free account can vote, so that isn't a trial account...

Best advice is wait until next dev blog. There is always an annoucement to inform players of coming election along with procedures. :-) Sorry, cant have my votes though, voting for Darius III. Good luck if you really going for it. Was gonna go for it, but I decided to let Darius take the spotlight.

Do you think you could get the CSM to re-enact a Friends episode for us?

If you want to to make a difference in EVE it's being in CSM does nothing unless you're going to side with the "give me everything because I've subbed longer than you" crowd, I think another mass protest in EVE is in order.

Or maybe we could do something more fun like have everyone in high sec rush 0.0 gate campers in noob frigates? :D

....... I'll be right back

You can't run for CSM directly. You first need to be an active, paying member of the "somethingawful" forums for at least three months (or shorter if you find a sponsor). Then you can apply again for CSM.

You want to be a CSM chair?? I've sat on them and I can't imagine anything worse than having the CSMs sitting on me all day emitting various fermented shark gasses!

As to applying, it works best after the application process starts, sounds like its changing this year, I understand you have to submit a video of you and 50 eve players in RL in a giant human pyramid to be eligible.
