As we approach the end of this CSM term, I feel honored to have represented the players of Eve in such a pivotal role as a CSM delegate. While these memories will stay with me even beyond the game of Eve, I wish to devote some time to my family and avoid the flamethrowing that accompanies politics in Eve. Thank you to all who voted for me, and I am always open to conversation or evemail regarding Eve and the CSM in general.

As the new election comes around, it seems we have some jokers who have submitted their desires for candidacy this time. In that, I have decided to comprise a list of the candidates who seem the best suited for the job. As such, I present below my opinion of who will make it to the next CSM council, and their location in the voting poll, as well as the reason why they made it:

1. Avalloc - Has a good grasp of the mechanics of Eve, and having a major alliance behind you always helps.
2. Omber Zombie - Another Omni-capable candidate, his job on the current CSM term has been phenomenal.
3. Dierdra Vaal - Her experience from the first CSM term will be very valuable in this one, as well as her ideas.
4. Vuk Lau - He's shown the availability and capability to lead the council. While I don't see him in a leadership role this time, he will nonetheless be a valued delegate.
5. Herschel Yamamoto - A late entry in the running, I believe his forum posts and dedication will gather him the votes necessary for delegacy.
6. DJ Hijak - Having the ear of many players makes him a valuable PR tool, and he has some good ideas about the game's destination.
7. Heartstone - A candidate with good ideas and the enthusiasm to endure the constant flames of the forums.
8. Larkonis Trassler - An outsider, so to speak, of major movers in the game, I see him gathering some votes with his good ideas.
9. Mazzilliu - She started off very strong, but the truth eventually came out about her.
