Perhaps you might like to infer something from the fact that I was the only candidate paying close enough attention to the community to slip an answer in before you edited it Cool

I will be happy to infer Smile

But it is nice to see a candidate that is aware of what is going on. Especially as a crisis in this game can develop in a matter of hours.

And you never know when a comment from someone could start a bush fire in this game.Lol

It's very, very easy to consider CSM7 as an ineffective CSM, simply because the only major thing I've seen the CSM7 being particularly involved in (not that I've been paying that much attention, but still) was the STV-gate.

Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

STV-gate is still in the paper shredding stage Lol

But I will definitely say CSM 7 was the biggest fail we have ever had. They forgot that they work for the players, anything after that point is just fluff. The fact they worked well with CCP is great, the fact that they seemed to work for CCP not so great.

When they came in it was all about transparency and communication, then half way through we stopped hearing from them, well all except Two Step and the transperancy resebles a brick wall.

Just look at the question who supported the STV, we have 2 yes and 2 no out of 14 people.

I do wonder if CSM 8 will be allowed to alter the White Paper, now CSM 7 has so well "altered" it.

Yep. It's not enough to do the work: you've got to be seen to do the work.

Raising the CSM's profile is one of my 3 main goals for this year. The CSM will be more valuable and it will do a better job if the players are given more opportunity to apprehend and appreciate how much work they do.

Every CSM since CSM4 has made a major improvement in the standing and influence of the following CSM, I don't want to be on the first CSM to break that tradition.

CSM5 only did that by making nullsec go "hey, morons, step away from the keyboard and let us show you how it's done", though. :v:

On the bright side in 11 hours they can un-sticky all these threads and Jita park can go back to being a ghost town for a while.

Maybe until the results are announced. After that there'll be a huge boom in the A BLOO BLOO THE CSM IS A NULL FIX AND DOESN'T REPRESENT ME threads by a bunch of crying non-voters, to whom I will be savagely unsympathetic.

Hell as long as CSM 8 is not here to represent CCP, I will be happy.

As for Non-voters, I can understand (more so today than ever), but there is always a way out like voting for only one candidate you pretty much know will lose (Insert Psyco bitches name here), then that way you have at least donkey voted.

Non voters should put in the effort to educate themselves as to why they should vote for me after all.

I think re-education centers should be set up, to help teach them the error of their ways.

That and I voted badges as well for the forums, so we can tell the whiny little scum to STFU.

Voting badges are a brilliant idea. CCP should enact them immediately.

Before the polls close

How do you feel about the new STV voting system?

Do you understand it?

How do you feel about fact we can only identify 2 members of CSM7 who supported it?

Do you want it removed for a better or simpler system, while voting numbers are so low?

1- I am rather skeptical of it. Mathematically, it's rigorously fair. I feel that it suffers from failing to take the human factor into account; the voters aren't perfectly rational, they're not perfectly willing to do the level of research required, and it opens up some very worrying social engineering possibilities. In short, I feel that it hasn't been subjected to that fundamental test of any proposed change to EVE: "How could I exploit the everliving **** out of this to my own advantage."

2- I think I do.

3- I didn't know that, nor do I care much. On an issue like this, I feel that those 14 guys' opinions are only barely more relevant than any 14 random EVE players.

4- It's what we've got for this election. I accept the rules of engagement and I'll win or lose by them. Let the results do the talking.

Malc, voting has closed and all... however CCP latest exercise in being bad at PR calls for one more question to you:
CCP declared the only means of getting market data out of eve programmatically (cache scraping) as being against the EULA, thus giving the shaft to every single site or app that relies on market data. Wouldn't you agree that this situation is extremely unsatisfactory, and that a legitimate substitute that won't put 3rd party developers into the same dirty corner as botters is needed?
