Every Omega Account gets one vote each . . . . . . so skill farms and multibox miners wield power here.
I imagine over the next few weeks, certainly starting 10 October, we will see plenty of interviews with Oz, and the other candidates.
Why should Oz be elected for the third time?
Your call, the summary is below but i would highlight:
Eve needs a proper functioning economy and markets to allow the rest of the game to operate.
Oz is the only pure market/economy candidate and therefore in a unique position to improve the economy / market side of the game.
Whilst the summary is below and goes heavy on the softer side of things, i would focus on the achievements in CSM18 and CSM19, and therefore a fair assumption we can expect more in CSM20.
The summary of Oz's pitch is:
Oz is:
- Current CSM19 member, previously elected to CSM18.
- Independent and alliance-free, focused solely on improving EVE Online.
- Renowned EVE economy expert, with deep market insight and CCP collaboration.
- Leader of one of EVE’s largest Discord communities (7,000+ members).
- Creator of the EVE-themed final case at the Microsoft Excel World Championships.
