Is anyone thinking about running for CPM1? If so how should we vote on them? With free accounts I don't see how we can have a free and fair election. I am very curious to see how CCP plans to work this out. EVE is a paid subscription - either money or plex - and every one gets a vote. With the ability to make as many accouts as we want voter fraud will probably run rampant. Just been thinking about how it would work and would like to put it to the community for their views. I don't remember seeing a thread like this so sorry if it is a duplicate.

You can easily spoof mac addresses, CPM will be won by goonfeet and subreddit, suprised you don't see people trying to get mittens elected.

Oh yes hes competent, but hes also a crude, viscious horrible person, perfect for eve really. He did tell someone to go kill himself on a live stream right in front of the sony devs.

Refundable Aurum deposit after election

SoTa PoP for CPM1!

There's no one better to tell CCP they're doing it wrong and getting the community involved in everything!

I would say 100 hours playing time...

think about it. even a casual gamer that's 1 month.

playing for a month you should have an idea of who to vote for etc etc.


3 hours... ppl will grind that just to get another vote .

gotta be realistic

why not? it's the system that has worked in eve for a very long time.

VOTER ELIGIBILITY
Any active EVE Online account that is at least a full thirty (30) days in age
is eligible to vote. Only one vote per
accountGÇönot per characterGÇöis permitted.
Thethirty-day account exclusion rule is to limit undue metagaming
influence in the election, and is in line with the precepts of a modern democracy that imposes a minimum age
for voting privileges. The only exclusion rule for voting is CCP employee accounts, which are ineligible. Affiliates,
volunteers, partners, and interns are permitted to vote.

Yes, people buy plex with RL money and then sell them on the market. Pilots with ISK can then buy PLEX and use it to buy AUR or game time. Either way the PLEX is paid for with real money. But it doesn't matter how the account was funded as long as it has been active for 30 days so one character can vote. It is pay to vote because the game is pay to play. DUST is free to play and therefore we should not have to pay to vote.
