The more ballots/votes that are cast and remain in the pool for a longer time (filled in more then 1-3 out of the 10 slots) the smaller the power of block-voting is. If a candidate has 10%+1 of the total votes, they get elected. Otherwise the candidate with the least votes is eliminated. So if a block has a little over 10,000 ballots and the total number of ballots is 50,000: they have their #1 and #2 spots elected. If in the same situation the total number of ballots is 100,000 that means only their #1 spot is elected. So every vote and ballot matters. ---

> [@Anna\_Dyneaux](#): > > Jay Cee in particular is running on a platform of both “highsec ore needs to be much more valuable” and “no more ganking ever”, which even kindergarten economics tells you is ridiculous. Which is why I did not vote for him. I do not gank myself, but some of my customers certainly do. How does he expect me to stay in business without those crazy gankers. To be serious for a moment. Without the ongoing destruction. A large war is fine. I love those warlock semi-reliable reporting and the cinematic battles. But those are not what keeps me in virtual corn flakes. It is the small fights and ganking that happen everyday. That in part keeps the economy rolling. SMH I will never understand the logic. Stop the ganking while making ore more valuable. As you stated Anna kindergarten economics makes it clear what that idea is in fact. ---

Id like to say, thank you for the mention. Ganking has its place in eve, and removing it would be against the nature of the sandbox. Additionally, I have zero null backing, if you havnt uet voted, please consider me. ---

If it has outlived it usefulness, as you contend. Then it needs to be replaced. What is your idea to replace the CSM? What would that look like? I am asking to understand what you would find as more acceptable to represent players. ---
