Sounds like a rockin' time in the next CSM.

Don't forget the like 100 highsec candidates. We made sure there were as low as possible barriers to entry!

In a way, you could say that just about any of them is equivalent to a "None of the above" vote! Big smile

Is this a candidacy thread? I want to like it only if it will further dilute the candidate pool.

No, it would probably have more people voting but less of the votes would go to players generally. P

Cause, sorry to say, a CSM that doesn't represent you is a self-fulfilling prophecy when you are preaching abstention.


CSM removal and compromise with "These people do not represent me."

GMs would be more impartial, especially since they usually apply for a public relations and not a gaming job. They could play in Jove space to get the hang of the game and understand which ideas are good to put forward from the forums., while greeting new players.


Ummm wut?

How did GMs and Jove space come into this?

Still say vote Tiger Would, best choice for you, and the folk that agree with you.

They would do the CSM job properly without the meta-gaming garbage.

What do you think the CSM's job is?

Its a delegation of players elected to a council to sift through player suggestions, present them to CCP and act as a focus group for NDA'ed proposals from CCP. How would the GMs do that job?

Thank you for posting. It drives me crazy when people use this to avoid looking at data rationally. Most misunderstood idiom.


Anyone with half a brain would know that an exception actually disproves a rule.

If I had been kicked out then there would be a NPC corp in my recent employment history and if I was awoxed [killed by people in same fleet] then there would be a kill mail no doubt being used to try and rub my face in it. Blink

Fortunately, there are still some decent people in this world who were good enough to give me the heads up.

Three mails exist so far and my two were sent because I had this stupid hope that they could address their internal problems and thrive instead of constantly bleeding members. Anyway, washing my hands of the matter, time to look forward. Bear

Null Sec really that boring for you guys to be looking for stories about the peasants?

To me it looks like Jenshae is saying we should cancel the election and keep the current CSM in place.
