Welcome back to The Beat, Capsuleers!
We are now flying at full speed through the CSM election season and Anger Games 5. In the past two weeks we have seen several candidates going out there and giving interviews on your platforms as well as being interviewed on CCPTV. The first weekend of the Anger Games 5 concluded last weekend and the organizers of Anger Games 5 will return this weekend on CCPTV with another amazing weekend of brawls.
CSM SEASON VOTING STARTS SOON
In the last Beat we talked a little bit about what the CSM is and for this week we will take a closer look at the campaign so far. At the beginning of every candidate’s campaign, we ask them to write a post on the EVE Online Forums. This is not just to introduce themselves as individuals who might not be familiar with them but to also lay out their plans and what they want to focus on during their term. These are now all available for every candidate for anyone to see so if you want to get to know them a little better before deciding on who to vote for then check it out.
Every candidate gets ten minutes on the air over at CCPTV to campaign their cause and we have so far had two evenings of interviews. If you missed them then no need to worry as you can still get the VOD’s. The last round of interviews will be conducted tonight, starting at 18:30 UTC and runs until 01:00 UTC to wrap things up before the voting starts.
Voting for CSM 17 officially begins at 11:00 UTC, Tuesday 7 and runs until 10:59 UTC, 14 June.
There will be a German CSM townhall for German speaking candidates to answer live questions. We will add the information here in German as well.
"Meet and greet LIVE CSM 17 for the German community LIVE at RHP TS3 (ts.respect-honor-passion.de) Every pilot is welcome to ask questions Directly and LIVE (you can’t speak English /no problem for translation host provided)
