Monday we find out how everyone voted. That is one point of data that will shape the CSM going forward. I think a more important question the CSM should ask is "Why?".

It would be extremely useful for the new CSM to understand how they came to be.

So I'd ask everyone that voted (or didn't vote) to post briefly why they voted (or chose not to) the way they did.

So what the heck were you thinking??!!! (in a couple of sentences)

You know that just about every candidate running was pro-queue, right?

Oh, and I voted for this crazy-awesome guy with a name eerily like my own. All the cool kids were doing it.

Voted Ank because she is clearly the best of the returning CSM candidates for continuity purposes, she served admirably as Secretary in the first session and would make a good chair for the 2nd in my opinion. Enthusiastic, dedicated and willing to learn. All in all a very good candidate.

Voted Pattern
because of all the candidates he seems to have the greatest understanding of what needs to be done to preserve small unit pvp in Eve Online at the moment. He's a pvp'er in a small roving alliance not a blob-fighter, and his posts on SHC have a decent level of vision and insight.

Voted Omber Zombie because he's a guy of great character and long experience in Eve Online and is the single "process reformer" candidate that I would trust to do the job. He also steped up as a replacement alternate in the first session and performed very well with good attendance and insightful decisions (even though he often disagreed with me!).

I'd love these 3 candidates to make it onto the council.

Voted for LaVista Vista because everytime i've read his posts they have made sense, at least the vast majority of the time Laughing

Sadly the same couldn't be said for some of the other CSM's, but then that's why i didn't vote for them.

I would have voted for Ankh and Vuk Lau, split, if I had not been running.

Ankh, because she is really dedicated to this game and the CSM, and while in some areas completely noob, at least convincable.
And Vuk, because he is the only one among the candidates I have ever been flying with, and also because despite being a titan pilot, he wanna see titans nerfed. Thats exactly the kind of mentality we need in the council, people with perspective who do not only care about their own virtual life.

I hope both of them make it into the next council.

I voted for me... but I probably would have voted for Tusko or Herschel if I wasn't running. Tusko because after a fair few discussions with him he seems to have the game's welfare at heart (and we both like his homeland's cooking) and Herschel because he seems as insane as me :)

I voted Garion Avarr because I want someone on the CSM who cares about the RPG in MMORPG and he was most visible in supporting the roleplaying side.

I voted vuk simply cause he's a awsome guy and when a titan pilot wants titan nerfed it showes that he actually care more about the gameplay for others then for himself

I figured that if I was asking all my friends to vote for me, I should set the example by voting for myself too.

If I wasn't running . . . well, I'd have had some hard choices to make, though there's one candidate that would have gotten at least one of my votes no question, my only decision would have been if I'd give all my votes to him or spread them. Probably at least partially spread them, there are a number of candidates I like. I'm not going to name names, though, as I don't want to prejudice my relationship with anyone I might be working with on the CSM.

I voted for Sophie Daigneau because I figure having an economy-focused rep from 0.0 could add value and perspective that empire-based carebear production/mining/etc reps may not have.

And yet, not only did you think it worth your time to read this board, you thought it worth your time to post on it. You realize that for the same time investment as keeping up to date on this forum, you could have researched the candidates and voted accordingly, right?

I very nearly didn't vote as I'm not convinced the voter turnout will be any better than the 11% we got last time, which is also why I haven't run myself this time.

But then I decided that would have been hypocritical, so I voted Omber on the basis of his concerns with the format of the CSM itself, many of which I too share.

EDIT: and because I'm sure he loves getting up at half past stupid to attend the meetings.

22 NA, 19 EU, and 1 AUS, and I expect the EU candidates to do better than the NA. It might be enough to push it back to 1800 instead of 1600, but it's not like NA will ever push EU into waking up early, since your too-early is our too-late.

With the wiki up, we'll hopefully be able to run the meetings a bit more efficiently, at least I hope we won't have those 5 hour monstersessions anymore.

My vote went to the previous CSM member who I felt did the best job of all of them.

I felt it important that said person remain on the CSM to give it continuity.

Voted Darius because the CSM needs reps that are in the middle of the real 0.0 game. Good to see that at least he and Vuk Lao got on the council.

Also voted Sophie Daigneau with hope that the CSM can have real industrialist reps with a sensible perspective on the game as a whole and not just carebears that want to avoid any and all danger and risk that add "industrialist" to their name.

Eve is far from a video game. It's an addictive substance that has weakened my will towards everything else in reality.

The CSM is concerned about gameplay, but it's also a group of real people interacting, not just characters. There should be some differentiation of fantasy and reality, even in the CSM.

Oh, and if it matters, I voted for myself. Not very altruistic, but I really believe in the things my candidate has to say. Smile
