Any individual put collectively a Google sheet with all of the ballots collated right into a readable format and there have been over 3,000 ballots submitted with just one candidate who didn’t make the ultimate 10. These ballots have been exhausted. If these individuals had put anyone else within the 11 via 20 finishers on their poll as an alternate, we might have had totally different outcomes.
On the flip aspect, the Imperium and different null sec teams voted fairly persistently. 6,260 ballots have been forged with the GSF prompt poll, which was as follows:
- Kazanir
- Zintage Enaka
- Dujek Oneye
- Luke Anninan
- Seddow
- youngpuke2
- Ariel Rin
- The Oz
- Ankh Lai
- Kshal Aideron
Seven of these people have been elected, and one was CCP’s choose, so we did fairly properly.
Likewise, there have been 3,805 ballots have been submitted with what seems to be just like the PanFam slate. Given the mixed measurement of PanFam, that appears a bit low. However in addition they had a candidate banned from the election which appears to have disrupted issues. The Initiative poll bought 1,383 votes, making it the third hottest slate.
The fourth commonest poll was simply Itaer from “bar code” (as we name them, as a result of announcing “IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII” isn’t a factor) who bought 1,257 votes, and fifth was a poll with simply Dalros from Absolute Will, with 925 votes, neither of whom determined to work with anyone else on a poll plan. Them together with one another as a second entry would have elected Itaer.
In the meantime, voting was down in comparison with final 12 months, however out of current historical past elections the end up was properly inside the vary anticipated.
- CSM18 – 47,155 whole votes
- CSM17 – 30,814 whole votes
- CSM16 – 38,086 whole votes
- CSM15 – 36,120 whole votes
- CSM14 – 32,994 whole votes
In some ways, sort of a standard CSM election.
Ideas on Outcomes
As we are saying, “Good guys win once more!”
Actually that’s the GSF perspective on the outcomes.
However you may clearly see within the ATXX chat some individuals have been indignant in regards to the outcomes. These ranged from the standard “Goons run CCP” conspiracy theories (that are utterly at odds with the view inside GSF, the place it’s an article of religion that if we wish CCP to nerf one thing we merely have to begin doing it and it’ll occur), to individuals failing to know how voting and elections work (a giant drawback right here within the US), individuals pondering that the CSM makes sport design selections or has some magic veto energy, and the oh so tiresome wail of individuals bemoaning the loss of life of the sport, the loss of life of small gang, or the overall concern of stagnation as a result of null sec isn’t doing something proper now.
Null sec wins many of the seats as a result of null sec is organized. I might counsel that maybe the aptly named AtheistOfFail shouldn’t have signed as much as run if they might solely get 15 freaking votes. Any individual like that’s simply noise within the election cycle. However how do you pretty filter candidates like that with out having a pre-election? So that you allow them to are available in and be noise.
Null sec is organized as a result of to play in that sphere of the sport the place you arrange and develop otherwise you go dwelling.
And null sec is severe about CSM elections as a result of again within the early self-obsessed, dilettante, clown present period of the CSM, when it was a recognition contest that attracted little consideration and fewer voters, numerous winners made it their enterprise to “repair” null sec with out having an expertise with it.
I recall Tredbor Daehdoow declaring that taking pictures buildings was boring and needs to be faraway from the sport. I think he had by no means shot a construction, didn’t perceive battle drivers, and clearly had given little thought to what mechanism would possibly substitute that. Entosis is what we bought. Entosis, the magic sov wand, is a lot worse that merely taking pictures buildings… not less than an entire fleet will get to hitch in while you’re taking pictures… that it highlights the explanation that null sec takes this severely.
(And sure, I do know who he’s. That doesn’t imply he was certified or right in making that assertion.)
However principally it was the “small gang” mentality utilized to null sec that bought null sec invested within the CSM. We noticed that within the CSM19 marketing campaign, as now we have seen it in virtually each marketing campaign.
The “small gang” mindset is any individual who feels that they, in a fleet of 10-20 individuals, ought to have the ability to go anyplace in null sec and face solely even odds fights. They hate when null sec residents reply in drive, once they can’t discover a quiet nook to camp and steal ESS bonds or rob Skyhooks on their very own schedule and never an arbitrary time window, and mainly resent once they can’t do as they please in our house.
So it’s all the time a “nerf null sec” argument as a result of they need all of New Eden to accommodate their particular play type. After I write about different MMOs I often make point out of the PvP die hards, the very vocal discussion board warriors who need open world, full loot, no holds barred PvP in each sport.
In EVE On-line, a PvP sport, the small gang mob occupy an analogous kind of area of interest in our ecosystem. The sport can be nice if solely everyone was pressured to play on their phrases and CCP is betraying the sport and all that’s holy in the event that they aren’t catering to their each whim.
However they don’t characterize a well-liked perspective or any area or play type actually, in addition to their very own dream/imaginative and prescient, they’re simply loud like these PvPers within the PvE sport boards… which is why they often don’t win.
Now that the election is over the “small gang” proponents are stewing once more as a result of null sec received, by no means as soon as contemplating that their voices should be balanced in opposition to ours. The fact is that, whereas electing representatives is, at greatest, an imperfect solution to create an advisory council, the outcomes do find yourself reflecting the views of those that voted. When you didn’t get out the vote… blame null sec?
Lastly, successful majorities on the CSM hasn’t save null sec from nerfs in the long run in any case. CCP will do what it desires and one of many jobs of CSM reps is to complain about how CCP blindsided them with some new change that was by no means as soon as put earlier than the CSM. One of many principal arguments of small gang, that null sec is stagnant is true largely because of CCP breaking the financial system and making every part costlier.
As I’ve famous elsewhere, the primary rule of New Eden is don’t undock with something you can’t afford to lose. When CCP made capitals and supers too costly to lose, blaming null sec for not undocking in them reveals a profound disregard for actuality.
I personally wish to get again to wars and large, consequential fights and all of the issues that get headlines within the gaming press and past, issues that draw consideration to the sport, issues that make the tales that convey the sport alive and get individuals who’ve by no means heard about EVE On-line to consider checking it out. (However didn’t we simply conquor just a few areas and blow up a bunch of buildings together with two Keepstars? Is it our fault that PanFam and Fraternity opted to not battle?)
Anyway, others have opined on this level extra clearly and succinctly than I. In the long run, that is the outcome a CSM election is all the time going to generate. Null sec goes to win 6-8 seats because of measurement a corporation. I’ve prompt a few issues prior to now that CCP might do to enhance illustration… and it even adopted one, increasing the scale of the CSM, although not as a result of I introduced it up… my phrases into the void are not often if ever marked by anyone at CCP… however until different areas of the sport can coalesce behind candidates they’re all the time going to come back up quick.
So it goes. Good guys win once more.
