Youâre too funny.
Yeah we know all about Democracy by now:
Shady figures manipulating data in the shadows while millions die under barrages of bombs and starvation.
Glad I didnât vote for that farce.

So, so disappointing. 7/10 from the warring null blocs. At least we got iBeast and Suitonia in there. Iâm sad we didnât get Rixx or Stitch. Lowsec really needs representation.
Congrats to the winners⌠sighâŚ

There has to be a name for this. âDefensive Impotenceâ might be a good one.
Eve is not like real life. In Eve you have the same tools as everyone else.
There is nothing stopping any of you from doing what null groups do. The fact that you donât despite the fact that null groups are outnumbered by the rest of the game days something important. You simply dont want to understand or admit what it means.
the NULL wins again. useless â â â â

If you donât like the null blocks, get a toasting ship and some friends, go take their stuff and shoot them.
Not every timer is going to be defended by 100 Carriers.
Not every ESS has a Vargur on defense.
Or join them and take on leadership roles then run off with the money.
Quit asking CCP to âfixâ things for you when you can play the way you want.
If you just give up, youâre sacrificing your own agency and deserve nothing.

What youâre saying is kind of like âif you donât like your life being dictated by corporate interest lobbies, then maybe you should make your own corporation, become rich and powerful, and drive your competitors out of business so that you get to decide how everyone lives their lives instead!â
Weâre not protesting null-sec blocs; weâre protesting a flawed electoral process, dum-dum.

Youâre still hereâŚ
Perhaps we need to rethink this.
Iâm more of a fan of equal representation of each space. This null bloc heavy CSM is getting old.

They donât win because the system is broken. They win because theyâre big and active and organized.
Lowsec had too many candidates because lowsec groups werenât united behind one candidate.
Rixx was something like 15th(?). If ask the lowsec and FW groups got together and backed one or two candidates, it would be much more effective.

Also, CSM is not the only way to influence the community and the devs.
But people seem to want to blame CCP for everything instead of trying to change thingsâŚ

Imagine if you spent the same energy organizing Instead of making excuses. I have yet to see your name on a list.
In game or out, I find folks like you perplexing. You care enough to spend loads of personal time complaining about something, but cant be arsed to do the small things that, even though likely to not make much of a difference, would still represent an action on your part.
The ironic thing is that if everyone like you voted instead of abstaining then complaining, you would have enough political power to maybe gain a seat at the table. This is what you should have spent your time on instead of wasting it on a forum ccp doesnât even read

It because doing that is both easier AND risk free.
There is a risk to fighting back. The risk of losing. Rather than take that risk, most just refuse to participate then complain impotently later. Its not just eve, but across all human society.
Which, ironically, is why the same kinds of people win power over and over againâŚ

What a paradoxical suggestion. We feel that lowsec/highsec/wh space are underrepresented and your solution is to become a null bloc?

As usual the majority are from the big null blocs, so as usual the majority of CSM recommendations will benefit the big null blocs. It wonât be long before HS will have no resources, missions, combat/relic sites, etc.
Though, I suppose it doesnât matter much, since CCP do plenty of that on heir own.
The slow death of HS continuesâŚ

Good for you, I voted with one of my five because Iâm one person and in a democracy each person gets one vote. Characters are not people, they represent people.
I know itâs not against the rules to do what you did, but itâs far from democratic.
I suppose the argument could be made that I wasted four votes, but I donât vote with my wallet, I vote with my conscience.
The way things work in Eve it seems to be pure pure wallet.
Iâm not an expert on governmental systems but the closest I can figure is that this makes the CSM an oligarchy under a totalitarian monarchy. I say monarchy because I donât think of CCP as another oligarchy, they are in total control at all times (unless Perl Abyss has influence, and I have no way of knowing that beyond making assumptions or getting good at industrial espionage, I donât feel like doing either, ones stupid, the other is a pain in the ass).
None of what Iâve just said maters for the same reason that the CSM maters less than it should, CCP can and will do as they please, with or without them (or me).
Right now itâs us against @CCP_Rattati and his âthey can quit if they donât like itâ attitude.
LET US EAT CAKE!
WaitâŚ
Did I say that wrong? Someone translate for me, âQuâils mangent de la briocheâ.
Thanks!
Low voter turn out while crying about who gets elected. Hilariously EVE. If you donât vote, or didnât organize better for a candidate you liked you canât really be pissy about the election with any kind of credibility. Elections are won by candidates with organized campaigns, not the Tiger King guy who everybody thought was awesome but had no grassroots to support him
