I've said before in other threads that I regard the possibility of a Goon-owned council as fantastically unlikely, and thus not really something to be afraid of. For a similar reason, it'd be almost impossible to block them - you'd have to find candidates, organize a campaign around the principle, and coordinate vote splitting well enough to get five of yours on the Council, without any of the organizational basis the Goons have and used to hardly world-shattering effect last time. But even if it were possible, I wouldn't be particularly worried - if that much of the Eve player base is behind them, they deserve to be spoken for, and I trust CCP to filter out any ideas that are particularly stupid.
Now, I'm hardly pro-Goon, and I don't think a "Gooned-out" council would be a proper representative for the player base as it exists today. But if you're basing your vote on blind prejudice, I don't want it.

Originally by: Wendat Huron Whatever the spin is I wouldn't want 7 GBC cronies on there either or russians for that matter. Just give me one candidate that's not favorable to the goon mob scene.
Here is the alliance breakdown of the 42 candidates
Combined Planetary Union Dark Taboo Deep Space Engineering Dirt Nap Associates HUN Reloaded Intrepid Crossing Ivy League KIA Majesta Empire Morsus Mihi Space Technologies The Honda Accord Warp to Desktop YTMND RAZOR x2 Goon x7 No Alliance x19
Looks like you've got about 30 acceptable choices, if you're voting solely based on 0.0 politics. |

Originally by: Wendat Huron If you want to take it that far then by all means do tell how many of those are red to the goon too.
Much as I love me some data mining, I'm not going to look up 40 different corporations for standings vis-a-vis GoonSwarm. I'm not a great follower of 0.0 politics, but I'd say very few will be actively red, since about the only people who have Goons set to red that I know of are the GBC folks, and I don't see any of them. You've got maybe 10 who are blue(including the 7 Goons themselves) and 30 who either avoid them or just don't care.

Originally by: Wendat Huron That's my take on probable goon friends out of the 42 that is 13 total. What I'm looking for is someone who is clearly not as I don't want to further whatever hidden agenda they may have.
You're worried about hidden agendas? If someone had something to say in the war that's been the primary concern of tens of thousands of players for multiple years now, you'd think they might have an entry or two on their killboard. But instead of looking at the available evidence and thinking, you're going to ask for empty words from people running for office. And that's even before you consider off-alliance alts - what do you say to someone with a character in Goon, a character in BoB, and a character in a Caldari militia corp? The only people who would be willing to express a heartfelt anti-Goon bias will be Goons themselves, and that's just because they'd find it funny.
Whatever, this is pointless. I'm not going to feed your paranoia any further.
