Needless to say I got very funny looks when people learned that there was no age limit for the CSM. <br />The agelimit is not connected to Lavista Vista in any way, form or fashion. His work has been superb.<hr height=1 noshade></font></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><br />Not that I care much about the CSM, but I really don't understand pushing the mandatory age to 21. IIRC, most of the EU and it's 450 million inhabitants reach legal majority at 18. Same in Iceland. So what's the reason ? Are you basing your rules on the japanese legislation ? Just curious...<br /><img src="http://www.kubanska.com/EVE/spartan_a.jpg" border=0>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm no great fan of the way things get done (or often don't seem to get done) at CCP, but I give them and all of the CSM delegates great credit for at least trying to do what they felt was for the good of all.<br /><br />As with any new endeavor things were a bit rocky at times, but in the end it seems that a lot of important issues were raised and passed from the players through the CSM onto CCP for consideration. <br /><br />As a player who regularly reads, but doesn't often post on the forums, I've seen a ton of animosity and vitriol thrown around regarding the CSM. To balance that out a tiny bit I just wanted to say "thank you" to all CSM delegates and to CCP. The process had some flaws and can certainly be improved upon, but IMO this first session of the CSM was a very good start.<br />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I do Think LVV Should be Grandfathered in especially if he is 18 (I thought that was the AOM in Iceland). I liked his attitude towards players (no matter how rude they may have been to him) and I think he was an excellent example of a CSM. <br /><br />As for not Enumerting HOW the CSMs have made an impact. I think you are dead wrong. If the CSMs made and Impact than it should be clearly spelled out. As others have stated knowing "What works and What doesn't" with respect to the kind of input that you need keeps future CSMs from reinventing the wheel. If CCP Decides to change course or Go Down a Diffrent path So be it. Explain your Decisions in Devblog and deal with what follows. The CSM is Good idea but WE the players can't tell how effective it is because CCP won't give us feedback then the players will cease to care and this grand experiment will whither away because no will will believe (lacking any corroboration on Your part) that they did anything. <br /><br />Lack of Feedback is your users's biggest complaint (behind lag) and is the easiest one to Fix. It just needs a willingness on your part to not be so close to the vest. It's not you are a publicly traded company where your stock price will fall if you deliver bad news. Many players may not like what you have to say but if they are going to vote with their wallets they will do so regardless of whether its news from a blog or the implementation of a feature. Let us know HOW the CSMs affected your thinking and let us be the judge of their actions, after all we elected them.<br /><br /><br />----------------------------------------<br />Happiness is a Wet Pod<br /><img src="http://www.kdirectorate.net/killboard/?a=sig&i=39016&s=default" border=0>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<BLOCKQUOTE><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitmaps/img/board_icons/icon_quote_message.gif" border="0" > <b>Originally by:</b> <i>CCP Xhagen</i><hr height=1 noshade>The age limit was introduced because of practical legal reasons (and no other reason), as to sign a legal contract like the NDA is, one has to have reached the '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority" target="_blank">Age of Majority</a>'. Needless to say I got very funny looks when people learned that there was no age limit for the CSM. <br />The agelimit is not connected to Lavista Vista in any way, form or fashion. His work has been superb.<br /><br />As for the content of the devblog - we decided not to name specific topics brought up by the CSM and where they were in the development plan because a) we foresaw a less-than-ideal competition between CSMs where 'A did more than B', b) the longterm gameplay issues that were discusses can not be put into a single line in patch notes c) enumerating topics would also lead to stating the time of implementation, ultimately leading to finger-pointing at us or the CSM in question when the schedule changes. It is our believe that pointing fingers doesn't really solve anything.<br /><br />I realize that my above paragraph might be considered to be worded in a cold and a harsh manner, I'd rather want to think it was phrased honestly. The CSM has influence - it is that simple. <br /><br />And furthermore, the unfortunate lack of 'CSM-delegate' forumtag is a technical matter that became apparent when I started the new election cycle. It does not mean that the current CSM has been removed - it is simply a technical glitch related to our efforts to protect the identity of the altcharacters on the delegates' accounts; it is no problem to flag the user as being a CSM delegate and thus give it the tag, but that would reveal all the characters on that account - thus each and every character had to be flagged and that is technically more complicated (I'm told <img src=http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitmaps/img/board_smilies/icon_redface.gif border=0 width=15 align=middle alt='Embarassed'>)<hr height=1 noshade></font></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><br /><br />Eh,whats wrong with fingerpointing? Wasnt this supposed to be so cool and democratic? Isnt the ability to see what your elected candidate actually does, and then point the finger if he/she doesnt do it right, one of the cornerstones of a democracy? I vote for fingerpointing.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<BLOCKQUOTE><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitmaps/img/board_icons/icon_quote_message.gif" border="0" > <b>Originally by:</b> <i>Kalvor Azrael</i><hr height=1 noshade>Allow me to point you to Article 1 of the United States Constitution, which describes the powers of the legislative branch as well as qualifications needed. Amongst them are:<br /><br />"<i>No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years.... </i><br /><br />and<br /><br />"<i>No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years</i>"<hr height=1 noshade></font></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><br />Yes, but at the time that the US Constitution was written, the legal structure around ages of majority and ages of voting was far different than it is today. Voting rights were primarily based on property, not age(or gender, for that matter - women were not explicitly barred from voting in most countries until the mid 19th century). Now, the massively bigoted nature of property law 150+ years ago did have a similar effect, but there were next to no age requirements anywhere. <br /><br />Thus, Madison et al decided to make explicit age requirements, instead of leaving it up to the really chaotic system that existed at the time. They made rules on who eligible electors were up to the States, by making them identical to the rules on the electors for the largest house of the State's legislature (<i>"The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature."</i>) but they made eligibility for the positions explicit, in large part to be able to embed residency requirements(and in the case of the President, birth requirements) to address their concerns about possible foreign undermining of the electoral system. <br /><br />Given the difficulty of amending the Constitution, these requirements have never been changed, leaving them a rather outdated and confusing fix to a system that was broken 221 years ago. <br /><br />Jonhill was wrong, and you were right to call him on it. But that doesn't mean that the age requirements in the US Constitution are something that CCP should be emulating.<br />------------------<br /><a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=778049" target="_blank">Fix the forums!</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pherhaps you ladies expected too much from the CSM?<br /><br />If there is anything good that came out of the CSM would be the concentration of discussions as well a shoving a lot of important topics into CCP's court. At least you have a fair shot at getting your viewpoint heard instead of CCP choosing to ignore it. Too bad that the majority of CCP's reactions were overdue or even lacking. If anything they need to step it up with the 2nd batch of CSM.<br />]]></description>

A slightly longer answer is that already have we been shown that we have a slightly different take on certain aspects of EVE than the players do; on other aspects we were on the same page as players.

Listing a few key ways in which the CSM has improved the game for the majority of players is not engaging in a "****ing contest" it's evidence that the entire thing is not a waste of time, effort, and money beyond the publicity generated.<br />]]></description>

I didn't agree with most of them, but if one vision was dominant then its better than mixing/matching a lot of wildly different paths. Maybe future CSMs will learn what ideas are pointless to suggest, and what to aim for. You're protecting their feelings after they've just been flamed by half the community.<br /><br />b) So put them in a blog?<br /><br />c) Actually, pointing a finger in the direction the company and game are moving does solve a big problem with communication. You're essentially avoiding details and specifics because it might be too uncomfortable or difficult in the future when something changes. Yes, you'll hear a verbal shitstorm if you drop or delay something, but the silence of a hundred thousand disgruntled players that have nothing to talk about (besides there being nothing to talk about) isn't a better alternative.<br />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Good news: End of first CSM, end of the Jade Constantine vs Darius Johnson e-peen contest.<br /><br />Bad news: There will be another CSM.<br /><br />Look, I see the CSM as a complete waste of time and a complete waste of money. If you really want to find out what your players want, take that money and spend it on PROFESSIONALS to poll/survey us in a scientific, accurate way.<br /><br />A bunch of ass clowns elected by the superpower blocs is NOT going to represent us in any meaningful way, as the first CSM proved.<br /><br />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[While I understand the need for an age limitation, I can't help but feel this has come too late. LaVista Vista I would ask CCP for a copy of the current NDA, as that appears to be the stopping point. Since you have had one signed on your behalf before look at the one that was signed.<br /><br />If there is no age condition on the NDA, then I'm sorry to say CCP can go shove it. The documentation signed by a parent or legal guardian would suffer any legal action from CCP if you or the signer broke the NDA...<br /><br />The next is a a grandfather policy, does the NDA current and one signed have a grandfather policy. As it stands right now YOU are currently and will always be bound by the NDA. Which means you don't have to sign another one, unless the NDA specifically says the NDA expires the moment you are not a CSM which put bluntly would be the most stupid NDA in existence. So I highly doubt, no I KNOW it will not have such a foolish policy.<br /><br />Lastly... I take people to this - Win a tour of CCP Headquarters.<br />I take it since CCP legal department is so worried about legally binding NDA and age of majority that someone under the age of 21 will have absolutely NO CHANCE of winning this tour.. I mean after all I'm sure the winner will have to sign an NDA and since the NDA will most likely be exactly the same as the NDA a CSM signs I see no difference..<br /><br />So CCP are you also going to put in the stipulation that you need to be 21 to win the tour?<br /><center><img src="http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1198517047" border=0></center><br /><center>Amarr for Life</center>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[OK so you have decided to limit CSM representatives to 21 years old or older on what appears to be extremely spurious 'Age of Majority' grounds. I do appreciate that you may be unable to look for legal routes of redress against offenders, but CCP do have the right to perma-ban the individual from the game in response. However if that is truly the legal position you have to take under Icelandic law then under the same rules surely you will have to ban account holders that are under 21 from voting as well? I know of no democratic system in the world that allows participation in the vote but forbids membership of the elected body. Have you just opened up a can of worms that may see the death of what was a truly open democratic system? I for one hope not and hope you reconsider your position.<br /><img src="http://www.bigdavey.dsl.pipex.com/images/jonhillgeddon2.png" border=0>]]></description>

And I'd agree with that view. I'd also like to think that will all the pre-nomination effort LVV has been putting in to his second run at the CSM he'd get the chance to do so though I can very much understand the legal view on this. (That the NDA was signed on his behalf holds no legal water in that *he* cannot be punished for releasing protected information, only the person who signed the NDA on his behalf; he as an individual is free of the NDA obligations and, yes, it is a great pity that this wasn't in place the first time around.)<br /><br />So far as what the first incarnation of the CSM may or may not have succeeded at, I believe it has accomplished much. Not only in <i>game mechanics</i> and implementation of new ideas, but in the generation of a new motivation by CCP Devs and management in how we as players view this universe we 'live' in. As Xhagen has noted, and any analyst or programmer will have experienced, what the developer of a product or piece of software thinks is how it works is very rarely the way the actual users of that product truly make use of it, and EVE is no different in that respect.<br /><br />I'm not standing for a second term this time around. Each person is limited to two 'sessions' on the Council and I want to see some of our efforts come to fruition before standing again (and just maybe because I'd like to see others get lashed at by the forum *****s who complain so much but won't shut up or put up) but I believe there is a very positive future for the Council in its next incarnation, and the one after, etc etc. I hope that the work we've done will inspire new candidates from all corners of the 'verse to come forward and seek election; the wide range of backgrounds and experience in the first CSM was made it (mostly) work, and imho that is needed again for the best benefit of all pilots.<br /><br />The members of this CSM will be at FanFest and will be happy to talk with everyone. If you are going to throw things at us please not rotten fruit but support for what we've tried to do. It has, in many ways, been a pretty thankless task, and we've given over a lot of our otherwise 'free' time to do our job (and had far less time to be 'active in pod' as a result too). Feel free to buy us drinks though ;-P<br /><br />IZ<br /><br /><a href="http://inannazuni.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.inannazuni.com/rsrc/zuni_csm.png" border=0></a><br /><a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=779553&page=1#1" target="_blank">My principles</a><br />]]></description>

But I can't help but trying to think of it this way, for the benefit of the community and integrity of this virtual democracy that has been established.<br /><br />According to that wiki page, the age of majority in Iceland is 18. <br />Also, the NDA has been signed on behalf of me. If there actually was any problems with that, I must assume my candidacy should have been rejected in the first place. So it seems to me like you are putting an arbitary limit(3 years older than needed), that you are trying to fix something which is working fine and that it's simply because people gave you funny looks. <br /><br />I'm disappointed that we went a long way to actually make the CSM into an virtual democracy, where everybody is equal as long as they have an active account. Things <b>worked</b> fine. But people's <i><b>prejudice</b></i> had to change this.<br />The CSM was given tons of PR by being a diverse range of people, all the way from computer science students to big bosses from international companies.<br /><br />I think it's really harsh to put it this way. I'm idealist, lets say that. However, I think there's a grain of truth. <br /><br /><BLOCKQUOTE><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitmaps/img/board_icons/icon_quote_message.gif" border="0" > <b>Quote:</b><hr height=1 noshade>As for the content of the devblog - we decided not to name specific topics brought up by the CSM and where they were in the development plan because a) we foresaw a less-than-ideal competition between CSMs where 'A did more than B', b) the longterm gameplay issues that were discusses can not be put into a single line in patch notes c) enumerating topics would also lead to stating the time of implementation, ultimately leading to finger-pointing at us or the CSM in question when the schedule changes. It is our believe that pointing fingers doesn't really solve anything.<hr height=1 noshade></font></BLOCKQUOTE><br />I can understand this. But you are now assuming people will put forward <b>incorrect </b>assumptions. If people do start going down this path, they just be corrected as for how it works. <br /><br />But I understand that there will always be trolls. But if we want to screen ourselves from them by not giving the community the ability to be convinced of the influence that the CSM indeed has, then it's a prove that the community is fundamtentally <b>broken</b>. Not that I think it can be easily fixed, but it could helped quite a bit by improving CCP's communication with the player base. Lots of trolling happens because of the lack of communication that's been going on for the last 1-2 years. I think CSM has helped a bit, but the CSM has been the target of a lot of this trolling too.<br /><br />You don't convince anybody by waving the hand and stating: "The CSM has influence", despite how much I agree with you Xhagen. There NEEDS to be proof. Be it by tagging in patch-notes or some good answers to our issues, you decide.<br /><br />I'm sorry if I come off as slightly bitter. I'm very happy that I did indeed get this one chance to get the CSM started off properly. It's just a shame it had to turn out this way.<br /><center><a href="http://www.eve-bank.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://eve-files.com/sig/LaVistaVista" border=0></a></center>]]></description>

It is our believe that pointing fingers doesn't really solve anything.<br /><br />I realize that my above paragraph might be considered to be worded in a cold and a harsh manner, I'd rather want to think it was phrased honestly. The CSM has influence - it is that simple. <br /><br />And furthermore, the unfortunate lack of 'CSM-delegate' forumtag is a technical matter that became apparent when I started the new election cycle. It does not mean that the current CSM has been removed - it is simply a technical glitch related to our efforts to protect the identity of the altcharacters on the delegates' accounts; it is no problem to flag the user as being a CSM delegate and thus give it the tag, but that would reveal all the characters on that account - thus each and every character had to be flagged and that is technically more complicated (I'm told <img src=http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitmaps/img/board_smilies/icon_redface.gif border=0 width=15 align=middle alt='Embarassed'>)<br />____________________________<br /><br /><a href="http://www.eveonline.com" target="_blank">EVE Online</a><br /><a href="http://www.ccpgames.com" target="_blank">CCP Games</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[No, sadlly he stands correct, CCP is subpar when it comes to shedulles and implementation in gaming industry (which is allready bad enough compared to other industries, no excuses sorry). I can't blame they probably have a poorly developed engine from the beginning (maybe it would be best to rework the engine totally at this point with current experience as a paralel project, EVE 2.0) and adding any small feature takes ages, I don't know the quality of their team currentlly, can't judge, but from an outsider and paying customer it looks like... bad. They "just" had a nice idea and it worked and have stayed in competition because, well, they have no competition.<br /><br />Hopefully that will change someday and then CCP better wake up.<br /><b>Teh failure of a signature.</b>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I think the campaign this time round will be more helpful than last time.<br />This time I reckon that there will be less campaigning on personality and more emphasis on policies. Which should not be a hard task since most candidates last time did not seem to have a manifesto.<br />]]></description>

As anyone familar with politics knows the incumbant always stands a better chance at being elected(baring ethics issues) than a "newcomer". Since if I remeber correctly this NERF applies only to you out of the current batch, it seems that CCP is trying their hardest to covertly not allow you on the next council.<br /><br />Maybe I tinfoil too much, maybe I stuck a grain of truth. Whichever the case may be, I really, without detailed reasoning from CCP on this change in policy, fail to see this as anything but a blatant ploy to stop you from being on the 2nd CSM. <br /><br />What are they afraid of?
