A bittersweet victory

Posted by Luminus Aardokay in News on December 2, 2009

Elections are over, and the results are in. The 9 new candidates delegates have been announced and we’re really happy to see that all of the candidates that have strong ties with the Planet Risk Show made it to the board.

We’d like to congratulate Alekseyev Karrde, TeaDaze and Song Li for their victories, and wish them a prosperous and productive reign. Along with them, we here at the Planet Risk Show feel victorious as well as it is more than apparent  how the CSM specials helped boost the profiles of the candidates (3 out of the 7 candidates that debated made it to the board, and Helen Highwater almost made it by ranking 10th).

However, this “victory” we feel that has been achieved comes with a certain amount of bitterness. The voter turnout was disappointing, as this time around, there were less voters than even the first elections. Furthermore almost 3% of the voters chose to push the “abstain” button in the ballot (which by design is something we find utterly stupid… declaring your abstinence by participating…).

Nevertheless, we do believe that this CSM board is capable of pushing great and useful things to CCP, especially during this troubled post Dominion time, something that will “force” more people to learn about the CSM and why it is so important.

Once again congratulations guys. We have high hopes for you!
