Including those who suffer from the false consensus effect? Last time there was 49,870 voters I imagine there will be similar numbers this time. Also it’s characters and not players who vote. ---

There’s a good reason I’ve had him on ignore/mute for a very long time now, he’s a dick and always will be. ---

> [@Drosera\_Binata](#): > > what do you want to do with eve then, i will decide that way Mike is, and has been, the only CSM candidate and member that has always been in these forums. So why not go and read his introduction in the CSM thread? Don’t let any of the others fool you into thinking they’ll be in here when/if they get elected, because they won’t, they never are, they just disappear until next time. ---

Come on guys, some of the CSMs might be lowsec shills. Not everything in Eve happens in null, ya know. Political gerrymandering and buying politicians is a universal thing. ---

i mean Lucy is right. Players control several characters and its the characters that vote not the players.. if all my alts were omega, that would be 7 votes i could cast OK i was incorrect, i would only have 4 votes as its accounts not characters.
