That's a clever way of trying to establish a perception of a range of candidate names as being "evil block vote dudes so everybody don't vote for them pick a wannabee independant while mittens is safe with his effective block already in place"
There's a fair few candidates with their own established groups, but not blocks. It's a bit silly to just throw in a few big names for the sake of the agenda of standing on a guaranteed Goon block with only the risk of possible competitors - for effective leadership within the CSM following the elections - present because of a variety of candidates who have a quite professional grasp of how to work with CCP (in more ways than one) other than the angle of hurf blurf fist on table
There are no conspiracies. The NC has a tradition of block voting, and it is part of all the choices people have in all of this. Sure it is a mindset topic, but that is normal, this is EVE. Krutoj getting a block vote remains to be seen, there's a fair few possible candidates starting to have their coming out. It seems Sokrates is gunning for the Tri/ADD votes once again, and little Seleene (who could very well be an impressively professional CSM member given his insights beyond the party line) doesn't have a block. Down in the south they don't really have a tradition of block votes beyond some experimentation with it.
Less posing man, and stop worrying, you already have the chair in the pocket. There's no need even for posing other niche Goon candidates to overshadow "independant" candidates on a per topic or "catch the mindset" basis even
Honest question though. It's been clear how CCP react badly to the hurf blurf fist on the table approach in previous CSM's, your entire presentation seems to come down to that. I could be wrong obviously, it could just be the :lolelections: part o it, I hope so. Unless you'd be banking on social engineering lines it just never gives any results for EVE as a whole, only for own interests and you don't strike me as just going out there to preserve your state of the union. So, how exactly are you going to approach CCP when it is time to sit down at the table, where there is a very good part of CCP who is willing to listen if the work is done .. but also a very bad part of CCP which just wants to do new shiny stuff and gets butthurt when a CSM does not agree with something being :awesome:. to the point of literally turning their backs on the CSM, isolating them, slapping NDA on things while at the same time taking everything to the media. I am sure you understand the challenge, but do you have the methods for it. I'm not asking for some overview of background But for how you are really going to approach matters.

in the csm fight you can only vote /for/ a candidate, not against one (since it's not a run-off). it's a fair assessment that krutoj will take the DRF/Rus vote, Seleene will get awagon + nonaligned nullsec, Vile Rat and myself will get Cluster****/GSF votes, and Elise or Prom will get PL + Tri/ncdot/ev0ke/generic nonsov elite pvp. killer2 is the official NC candidate. meissa or trebor will get the hisec bears, possibly roc if his campaign takes off.
