I have found no citation for that, but it feels right

also it doesn't matter how many subs were lost, if more were gained in the same time period.

honestly could care less.

Over the years I have actively read about all the candidates and voted but this year I found I just could not care less.

None of the candidates really stood out from the crowd and to be honest for me it made no difference who got simply because they were more or less all the same.

You can't have it both ways.

You either care a lot or you don't care at all.

It does seem as if the inhabitants of the USA ( if indeed you are from the US) are determined to re-invent the English language.

For example "He caved to the demands of his boss." Should be "He caved in to the demands of his boss."

If you "cave" you are doing what Americans call "Spelunking". Surely not what is meant. I mean although he may beat a hasty retreat from the boss's presence, I don't think that he would disappear into a hole in the ground.

So, do you care or not? A lot of people on the forums do seem to care judging by the amount of posts, but the actual turnout would seem that a lot of non-forum warriors don't.

Me, the sole candidate I voted for was elected, so I'm happy.

Thought it might be Psychotic Monk's year this time though.



He was *extremely* busy IRL in the leadup, hadn't been active.

I think votes for him mostly flowed as preferences to DJ FB and Sugar Kyle though.



Edit: Also glad Steve R got on. He was the only person I voted for that wasn't a pirate or e-******* type.

It's almost like, if you organise yourselves effectively and work with others for a common goal, that goal is more likely to become reality.

I guess the highsec way of "WHY BOTHER ITS RIGGED BUT ALSO I DONT LIKE THE RESULTS THAT I DID NOTHING TO INFLUENCE DESPITE MY BELIEF THAT PEOPLE OF MY OPINION ARE THE MAJORITY AND THIS IS BAD URGH!" just isn't viable, huh?

We even called our voting list "Down with highsec" heh.

I guess you get to crawl about in the dirt for another 12 months.

Our votes went to Corebloodbrothers as his campaign statement said he would work to make the results of any CSM advice more democratic. To my mind that meant less null-centric but knowing my luck he might have meant the other way around ?

As in RL if you don't vote you can't complain. That's what I say anyway. Smile

Our ballot gets more effective each year coordinating with other groups.

Its almost like learning from the past and adapting behavior for optimal results is a good thing.
Or you could just shoot at rocks under concord protection all day and hope the bleating gets you something.

Oh, don't be so smug about your ballots. Everybody I wanted to get a seat got it and one thing you can't say about lowsec is that we are coordinated and united :)

You just happen to vote for right people, that is all.

if you want it to be less null-centric, maybe the people outside of null sec should vote more. you know, democracy and all.

I really wish voting was monitored by a third party. I do vote, everyone I know votes, all our alts vote, and not one of them voted for a single goon. Granted, that's hardly proof, and frankly I'm eternally suspicious of CCP since they regularly manipulate the sandbox, then claim necessity or pretend it was an accident, and alternatively admit/deny their association with major alliances, who typically directly benefit from CCP actions and/or foreknowledge of CCP plans that the rest of us are not privy to.

CSM minutes? Sure, once everything in them are long over. New pirate ships? Yes, available everywhere, but cheaper for Goonswarm! Elections? All goon votes count double. and their serfs better vote their way if they know what's good for them!
