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!

Candidates, Helen Highwater, Mike Azariah, Song Li and TeaDaze presented their platform and their case and even though the decision of who made the biggest impression is yours to make, we got ourselves 4 quality candidates that put us in a four way dilemma about who deserves our precious vote.

We are glad to see that this first debate drew enough interest, players and candidates alike as it promotes the CSM concept and therefore we’ll run a series of debates and get as many candidates as possible on-air to share their views with you and give you a better image on their personalities and their platform.

Please, after listening don’t forget to vote on our poll on who shined through this Debate.
