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.

in eve i'm a pirate. i'm all about pvp, and nothing more. i want to represent this community. letting a bunch of high-sec dwellers run the cpm is stupid.

using IP addressees or the PS3's equivalent.

I would like to see the MAC address used. I own two PS3s but at least it would limit me to two. Something will need to be done.

Those can be changed quite easily. They should use the console ID because to spoof that you need another ps3's console ID and a hacked ps3 (Which means the console will be banned pretty quickly by Sony)

I'm more curious for the nomination process.

MAC addresses

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.

Hell I might vote mittens if he was available, he's competent. You'd probably have to have a dust Acct to get in the CPM

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.

The video of what was said. The apology on the forum. All people make mistakes especially when drunk, have power (real or not) and laughing with frineds. It isn't as bad as it seemed to be and with cyber bulling being such a hot topic at the time the outrage was a little much. It was made in while making fun a QQ post and I would bet that many of us have made or will make the same mistake.

SoTa PoP for CPM1!

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

Well yeah joking around with friends and stuff, thats fine, difference is he was on a live stream with sony developers in the auidence (the dust forum was right before the eve forum) That is what got ccp so pissed at him and made them remove him from the CSM.

there was absolutely nothing wrong with his presentation, it was during the Q&A where he told the persons name. The whole thing was completely overblown and wouldn't have been an issue had he not been The Mittani

Why not have it so each vote can only be counted if your character has over 3 hours of playtime. This way, if you REALLY like a guy for a part of CPM and you wanna be a scrub hen you gotta put in some work

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

only use accounts that have bought aurum seems about right.

Pay to vote isn't a good fix or way of doing things. We need a free way to do it.

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

Paying accounts ( money or plex) not paying to vote. The game makes you pay to play so paying for a vote is the only way to have access to the game. There are no "free" accounts like on DUST.

yes, but through either plex or aurum you must pay to keep that account active and thus allow you to vote.

one way or another you need to pay to vote, you might of played eve for 8 years, if you stop paying you lose your right to vote, and if you pay for 5 or 6 accounts you can vote 6 times that's pay to vote.

aurum seems like an equally valid method to gauge legit /active users by, if you combine that with time played in say the last 2 months, you got methods that should prevent/hinder people from creating 3 dozen accounts, which is the only issue with voting atm.

Can't you buy plexes from other Player Characters though?

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.
