Just to keep you up to date,

At the prompting of CCP we are in the midst of a very polite discussion as to who will be saddled with which extra tag and workload.

Names are being bandied about and it is all pretty lowkey. Once we know, we'll let you know but it IS an internal thing and you've had your votes. Now is when we start to show whether you made the right choices or not.

but but but but you can't make such decisions without Goonswarm, being Master of CSM and CCP and ahahahahahaha oh god I can't keep this up

FTFY

Yes Mike it is an internal thing, it is not like the appointment to offices by elected officials in governments, or even tennis clubs is ever commented on by people or the media.Lol

Nor is the poor performance of those people ever related back to those who chose them to be in that office.Big smile

The idea that compulsory voting is just making random votes, so you seem to believe countries like Australia, with compulsory elections have just got random votes, you should also not this is the country they got the STV system from that they used.



There is a quantifiable portion of the Australian population that does just randomly vote. A lot of young people simply don't care or really don't want to pick one over the other because they can't see either person being better for them, so they randomly pick some people off the cards. Wikipedia actually has a full article on the Donkey Vote a term used to describe what those people are doing.

Yes there are people who vote seriously, but there is also a large portion of the population here who just don't care, because our leaders have all been jokes for some time now.

Wasn't trying to hush you (not sure I could)

Just was letting all of you know that we were working on it, AAAAAAND we still are.

A lot of the past few days has been getting to know each other. Figuring out active times and who know what, who says what. Which does help when it comes time for the internal vote.

The Australian Electoral Commission reported a national informality rate of 5.55% in the 2010 House of Representatives election, and of 3.95% in the 2007 House of Representatives election.[1] It is said that parties used to deliberately select candidates with a high alphabetical ranking. In 1984 voting reforms were introduced to lessen this effect, including listing names in a random order.

Yes our leaders are a Joke. Lets face it little Johnny Howard was knee high to a grass hopper. Ketting was full of himself and lets just leave she who shall not be named out of it.

But the percentage of Donkey votes in this country is actually quiet small. Surprising really being most of the political parties are more suited to a Monty Python scene than running a country.

I was not under the impression that you were trying to shusssh me, but it is nice to know you guys are communicating and subsequently communicating with the playerbase.

It is however refreshingly different to see a CSM member respond to a thread that

  1. You did not create yourself
  2. You are not trying to use to get re-elected


Very refreshing, well almost strange tbh.

Try reading threads which are not created by and primarily about you.

You might find that almost as refreshing.

Just FYI, I've already told him this, and even showed him that there was a GTC trade forum on the EVE-O website before PLEX were introduced. Despite this, he maintained that GTC trading wasn't permitted by CCP.

He's not someone to be persuaded out of his ideas by little things like "facts", "evidence" or "reason".

Didn't you get the memo, Malcanis? "Communication with players" is just a nice way of saying "stop telling Frying Doom how mindnumbingly stupid he is". Anything short of that might get you branded a poor communicator!

I've added this valuable information to our working notes.

PS We're pretty much decided on who's going to do what; we promise to make as many people as angry as possible with our decision.

A sure sign that the CSM has their priorities straight.

I would post more, but I don't have the face for it.

To actually say something on topic, we've been working on the officer topic, as well as general organizational bits, as you could expect from a dozen people getting to know each other.

The only way to guarantee that would be to elect Trebor to all 4 positions. Lol

We wanted to but Dolan said no Cry


Srs tho, we're all working together very nicely, and there's a very good atmosphere in the CSM8 channel. Some good ideas on how we're going to work with CCP are bubbling up and being implemented, and we're looking forward to getting on with the job and helping them make EVE (and helping them avoid mistakes too ofc)

I'm afraid this is likely to be an extremely low-drama CSM8. Perhaps FD would like to christen us appropriately? I personally favour "The CSM who sold the world", but just as he has to respect our decisions in our jurisdiction, so must we respect his.
