And this is the core of your issue, really. I've said this before, and I'll say it again here. Your enthusiasm is nothing short of fantastic, and your persistence is fully admirable. That being said, this is the wrong time for Dust 514, the wrong place in the CSM, and the wrong way by not talking to community members on a more personal level of doing what you're trying to do.
You have the backing of none of the major organized entities in Dust 514 right now for this CSM position, and in no small part because you just haven't talked to any of them. The first place you've put your thoughts or ambitions to the CSM is right here, on the forums. If you had talked to anyone in the organized part of the community, they would have told you what so many others have expressed. Your potential demographic in seeking a CSM8 position on a platform centralized on Dust 514 is small. It contains:
(1) Primarily Dust players who have recently taken Eve subscriptions
(2) Eve players who are more concerned about Dust 514 than they are about Eve
These categories are small in and of themselves; if you were somehow able to instantly mobilize everyone in them you MIGHT be able to scrape into a CSM position. The thing is, these are merely demographics where you could potentially find voters. In reality, the second category of players doesn't actually exist, and the first don't know you well. Our best interactions with The Black Jackal, from a community standpoint, have all been here on the forums. That just doesn't cut it.
If you could take this energy that you're devoting to a campaign destined to fail at even getting the required number of forums likes to pass it off to the proper CSM candidacy process and redirect it to lobbying CCP to fix important issues: Grouping, corp voice, presentation of Fac Warfare status, and other things besides...that energy would be well-spent and would make a vastly more positive impact on the Dust community. We need all the help we can get here on the ground floor.
