I really want to know about the question Darth asked.

Can someone bait and switch enough that you are endorsed and then not?

Could a large organized group troll endorsements?

Excellent question, I'll see if I can find an answer

It is perfectly possible. That's why I will be shilling for endorsements right up until the finish line.

Bear in mind that once every candidate with more than 200 endorsements gets a place in the ballot, and if there are less than 28 candidates, candidates with less endorsements will be added to the ballot until filling it.

So all you need is to be the 28th most endorsed even if you don't make to 200 endorsements... Bear



Here's a way then to dilute the elections candidates... have a block party where 200+ members all endorse a single candidate for 5 minutes then change endorsements Lol that way the entire slate will be part of the election. Good thing this is STV election because the votes in the main election do transfer.

Well, I received mail from CCP Dolan saying I have passed the 200 mark and will be on the main ballot. Thank you all for you continued support. Remember I WILL need you to vote again when the main election begins

Good to know. Likely you'll get my vote too, albeit I hate viscerally the idea of my vote being tossed up and down by an algorythm until noone can tell where did it land.

The whole point of voting is to establish a link between voter and candidate -or so it's been for the last 2,500 years. Only those crazy northern barbarians could come up with the bullshit that it's OK that your vote elects a random someone even if he's not the guy you like for the post. Ugh

You can prevent this by not putting "random someones" into your preference list.

Interesting, apparently Mike didn't answered the candidate match survey, so we're more or less clueless on how does he compare to other candidates.

Good luck, sir!

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

Just a quick note to say that Mike is on my recommended ballot.

At this time I would like to ask the candidates to think carefully about any endorsements that they give.

By putting other candidates on your ballot you are effectively giving them any excess votes you may have if you become elected or all of your votes if you are knocked out of the election.

So the choice of who you endorse and in what order you endorse them on your proposed ballot is very important.

Remember that these people are voting for you and a lot of people will rely on your proposed ballot.

Yes, frying, that is how stv is supposed to work.

In addition to that, perhaps it would be tactically sound to recommend people who recommend you and allow those who won't give you the time of day to set their own ballot order.

I am still VERY frustrated at the lack of CCP involvement to Get OUT and Imform the voting public

My above point is that your proposed ballot may end up electing people who you yourself would not like to see on the CSM, I can think of one with a closed thread for example.

Your choices could very well decide those that join you on the CSM

As to CCP, Dolan has promised considerable coverage for the CSM but they did not want to start until there was voting occurring.

I must say I find hat a bit annoying myself as I can think of no real world election where they don't start telling you about it before hand in some cases months before hand and personally I think if they had just had some CSM elections Soon signs on log in people would be more interested to look. Now it will suddenly appear and run away soon afterwards and people will just ignore it.

Trust me, I AM taking due care and caution and consideration in making my ballot recommendations.

I have taken the time to do my homework and enjoyed Xanders CZ interviews and Dani's debates immensely. Some of them made me think better of players I had never heard of, one or two had me asking if it was a giant troll rather than someone actually THAT dense.

Actually, Frying, you are perhaps one of the more . . .active forum people here. I would be VERY curious as to what your ballot will look like.

Did I make the cut? Are you going to fill all 14 slots? Any votes going to locked threads from you?

Actually I have not firmed up my list yet, Malcanis will appear on it as will the worm hole 5, and as to you yes you will be on that list.

And no I will not be voting for people with currently locked threads,

As to the rest I am still going through the CZ interviews myself, the worst part for me is I do actually like a block candidate but he will not be on my ballot (No point that one is kind of sewn up), nor will I be voting for any of the people re-running from CSM 7, if for no other reason other than that they seem to have no reason themselves to be on the CSM 8, just to see what happens it not a reason.

Edit: also Riverini will not be on my ballot, was not very impressed with the cz interview.
and I will be filling all 14 slots.

Unless you've used all the other resources he's linked to find out his positions. There's plenty of information out there if you actually care to look. I would hope most people don't let a less than reliable web app make their voting decisions for them.
