Here's the link you'll need:
http://bit.ly/vote-ripardUnfortunately, I cannot provide a single link that just votes a set slate of candidates. That's the very bad news. The good news is that the null-sec blocs can't either. Everyone has to fill in their ballots manually. To do so, just log in using your EVE accounts then start dragging people you'd like to vote for into the slots provided one by one, then click the big yellow SUBMIT VOTE button. It's going to be a pain, but please persevere! I realize how annoying it's going to be. I'm running in this election and I could barely stand to fill in a full ballot. But here's what I ask that your full ballot look like:
Please persevere to the end. Please feel free to make changes here and there if you wish, but please vote for a full slate of 14 candidates. This is the only way to ensure that your full vote is not wasted!
Here is my list of who I endorse and why I endorse them:
- Ripard Teg
- Malcanis
- Trebor Daehdoow
- Ali Aras
- Mangala Solaris
- Nathan Jameson
- Korvin
- Corebloodbrothers
- riverini
- Roc Wieler
- Psychotic Monk
- James Arget
- Unforgiven Storm
- progodlegend
If the system changes so that I can just give you a single link that will automatically vote the slate, I will update this post.
Your vote is important. I hope that you'll vote for my slate, but even if you do not, please go vote! Thank you so much for your support!
EDIT (7/Apr/2013): The previously included script to auto-vote has been disabled by CCP. However, they have introduced three compromise measures:
- candidates are sortable using the "Sort A-Z" button to make them easier to find;
- you can double-click candidates to move them to the next available slot instead of dragging; and,
- once you select a candidate order, it apparently gets saved and is available as an option for the next account you log in.
EDIT (4/Apr/2013):
Easy mode for multiple account holders:
- Make sure your bookmark bar is visible.
- Create a bookmark in your bookmark bar called "Vote Button".
- Copy-paste the code below as the address for this bookmark.
- Log in to the voting page, http://bit.ly/vote-ripard .
- Press the Vote Button in your bookmark bar.
- Make sure the vote list is okay.
- Hit Submit Vote.
- Repeat the steps four through seven for every account you have.
- You can delete the bookmark when you're done.

...really need to make a google account for my character sometime...
It would help if they alphabetized the candidates....
ReplyDeleteThey did that for a while, and one year a candidate whose name started with "A" got a statistically significantly higher than expected number of votes. Really! She even got on the CSM (and was later removed for an NDA violation).
DeleteIts called 'Donkey voting' in Australian politics
DeleteJester, that candidate was a Dutch woman. There's quite a lot of Dutch eve players, and I figure lots of them voted for her because she was a) a woman and b) Dutch. Not necessarily in that order :-)
DeleteToo bad she turned out to be somewhat crazy...
I'd vote for her just because she's a lil crazy :D
DeleteWhat's the big deal if she lets fly a few spoons at you?
You got my 2 votes exactly like you asked... good luck, and if you win, make a better game to us all (specialy in WH :-) ).
ReplyDeleteKadgar Hastur
Done and done!
ReplyDeleteGood luck mate (not that you'll need it ;) )
i'm happy to say we share 12 of the 14 choices, good luck on your run.
ReplyDeleteVoted, voted, voted, etc.
ReplyDeleteVote early, vote often. - John Van Buren
So you got to the top of all my votes. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe voting GUI wasn't that bad. Yes, it took five minutes of your time if you had five accounts to vote with, but much better than the alternative disaster if they would have let the blocks pre-fill the ballots. Props to CCP for not caving in to that request!
Best of luck!
(now, how not to get too drunk during the coming 14 days of mandatory election monitoring...)
You have 2 from me. Learned (and still learning) a lot from your EVE guides :)
ReplyDeleteGL to you Jester, I really hope to see you on the CSM
ReplyDeleteWindoze file manager we meet again! One word, Clunky! Would be nice if there was a right to left movement of the voting tags without having to scroll. Idk perhaps a drop down by every toon with a simple: Who would you like for Queen and then select in order the runners-up fairy princesses. Better yet how about we don't vote this way at all!
ReplyDeleteAt least when you are moving say downloaded porn pics. Going from your download folder to that hidden folder on the third hard drive on the left that is expanded a foot off the bottom of the screen, (you know because the pic tag will interfere with the others if you just save it there) it's something you want to do. vOv Just kidding! I know you can open another window. hmmm.
Okay persevere I did and I cast 5 votes (5 accounts). The first 6 names remained in the order that you recommended, however, I moved riverini to the 7th spot and slid the remaining names to the right. I feel riverini deserves some credit for his contribution to Eve. Thanks for your effort Ripard and I hope you are elected. I will feel much better about the CSM process if you are part of it. Good luck Sir!
ReplyDeleteVoted for you, best of luck!
ReplyDeleteWell, I said in a response to a previous blog of yours I would vote for you. On closer examination of your endorsements, I realize I cannot vote for you.
ReplyDeleteYou have endorsed a goon (saying he is independent is irrelevant, he is still in the goon power bloc). You also endorsed a well known high sec griefer, while ignoring the closest thing to true high sec candidate, Mike Azariah.
Sorry, but you are starting to look like the the null sec zealots that are ruining this game.
The paranoia is strong with this one.
DeleteIf null sec zealots were capable of ruining this game, it would have died a long time ago.
DeleteToo bad, Jester. Looks like you missed out on getting the "failing fools" bloc vote.
DeleteYour vote in the CSM Election was anonymously registered at 04.04.2013 17:35:31.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Jester. Gave you two of my votes.
Good luck, Jester. Just threw my vote your way.
ReplyDeleteAnd mine too. Best of luck, Jester.
DeleteAnd mine. Hope to see you going to Iceland.
DeleteHBC and CFC have a "click the link" thing. See GSF's link on their frontpage: https://goonfleet.com/
ReplyDeleteJust checked. As of now, it looks like my post, a link directly to the voting site, plus a slate of 14 candidates to manually load into the ballot.
DeleteMittens has a vote bot, too, if you want to try to borrow it from him. The bot is being quietly distributed to loyal party members only, esp. those members with many multiple accounts.
DeleteIt might interest you to know GSF techies threw together a javascript to auto-fill out the voting form.
DeleteNope, it's JavaScript, you import it as a bookmarklet and click the BM when you're on the voting page, it takes care of the rest.
DeleteTook me 1-2 minutes to vote for 14 candidates with all my accounts. Bored nerds, best nerds.
Cheerfully stolen, modified, and put on this blog post.
DeleteI graciously accept ISK donations on Irumani.
DeleteCast 4 votes for your slate.

ReplyDelete-Amari
Voted for everyone *not* on the null-sec bloc ballot. So, that includes you, Jester!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I could not vote your whole slate of 14. I got tired of dragging candidates, after the first 3. But, since your icon was on the top, I did manage to vote for you before I got bored. Yawn... and good luck!
ReplyDeleteI voted for you... we've got a 'short slate' in 'The Ditanian Fleet' chat channel of 2 candidates that have run&support Incursioners if you want to politic there Jester ( I made sure you are allowed now think some Rote exec corp affiliation gave you an old block b4 )
ReplyDelete+1 here and a second spot for you on another account on which Malcanis was top. I did change the order a little a little, upvoting Mangala, because RvB are cool bro's that bring a lot of content to the game, but otherwise went with your endorsement list.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Ripard, this game will be well served with you on CSM8 O7

(slot no. 14 is a secret :p)
Good luck, voted for you and one or two of your suggestions when I couldn't think of who else I would like to add.
ReplyDeleteVery early but try to enjoy your chairmanship.
Him or Mynna, most likely.
DeleteDepends on whether the indpendents or the bloc-vote gets more seats.
Also, the independents do have a few other viable choices for chair... (e.g. Trebor or Mika Azariah, if he gets in).
And Malcanis is a potential consensus choice between bloc-party and independents.
Very true, however I'm still betting on Ripard his eloquence is what will seal it in my mind. Plus his ability to believe two things at once.
DeleteThis is the new updated list, please help us win and give high-sec the power we deserve.
ReplyDelete1.) Mynnna
2.) Kesper North
3.) Kaleb Rysode
4.) Sort Dragon
5.) Sala Cameron
6.) Banlish
7.) Artctura
8.) Malcanis
9.) Unforgiven Storm
10.) Awol Aurix
11.) DaeHan Minhyok
12.) Mangala Solaris
13.) Psychotic Monk
14.) James Arget
You got my vote.
ReplyDeletelol it didn't take long for the NULL SEC F1 monkies to automate the Vote http://postimg.org/image/j0j4cpdjp/
ReplyDeleteAny1 make a javascript for your candidates yet to make things EZ as hitting F1? ( watch out any1 claiming they have might be lieing & giving you the wrong script :)
2 for you and 1 for Malcanis.
ReplyDeleteLong live the King!
-Jake Warbird
You got the most endorsements out of anyone? (Almost triple Mynna's) Looks like Mittens is going to be in for a little surprise
ReplyDeleteDone
ReplyDeleteWHY AREN'T THE CANDIDATES SHOWING UP IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER??!!!!!
ReplyDeletedo a google search for 'Donkey Voting"
Deleteyou have my two votes. And if you were like Darius III, right about now I'd be asking for my PLEX'es and listening to him laugh
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, Ripard...resubbed just in time to vote for you.
ReplyDelete- Philip Loki (and alts)
I'm starting to think we should ask CCP those two seats back by now. There are positively a number of accounts that resub just to vote, I can tell.
DeleteTwo votes from me, at least another 20 from my corpmates, who I've been spamming with Pro-Jester propaganda in the lead up to the election. They'd mostly heard of you anyway, so it wasn't a hard sell :). Our slates were roughly You + WH candidates (being a WH corp). The order/makeup varied a little player to player, but I don't think anyone put any nullsec bloc candidates on. We'd rather our votes weren't counted than contribute to a nullsec bloc takeover.
ReplyDeleteThere was an error and your vote has not been registered. Please try again.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
2 more for you good sir.
ReplyDelete3 x 3rd place. Behind Trebor and Mike. One of you better make it.
ReplyDeleteCurrently training Crystal Ball V, it's a couple of months to complete.

Hey Ripard, threw my votes in for you and your slate. Keep up the good work, sensible people are such a rare commodity these days in the Internets.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts (and actions) precisely
DeleteMy vote to you plus a few corp mates. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteVoted x3 as per your list.
ReplyDeleteI changed my final two votes to the non null-sec candidates on all 3 ballots. I'm sure you'll do well especially with all the endorsements you got. Let's just hope you can voice some good for the low-sec contingent too!! (i.e. i'll be sending you frequent eve-mails on behalf of Shadow Cartel!!)
GL!
Yeah i took some time back and forth to read stuff while dragging folks in this vote thing and then pressed submit and was logged out. All from the start!
ReplyDeleteIts not a good vote machine, lets hope it cant be gamed at least.
Oh you were also on the list Rip.
Oh and i forgot to mention that the goons solution doesn't seem to work in Internet Explorer!! :(
ReplyDeleteYou have my votes (all 4 of them).
ReplyDeleteIf you get elected to the CSM, I have faith you will not dissapoint.
Just voted. +2 to Ripard :)
ReplyDeleteThere is an A-Z button on the voting page and when I logged in my second account it remembered my previous selection.
Well done CCP!
Devs changed some code on the site to make the javascript stop working. you might want to remove it. Added double click add and a A-Z listing choice however.
ReplyDeleteI set up my vote for my main in firefox, logged out, logged alt in, dragged your vote link to a new tab and my vote was already setup!
ReplyDeleteI read your list after I made my own but it ended up being quite similar.
ReplyDeletehttp://stabbedup.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/eve-csm-endorsements.html
Put you in the #1 spot
ReplyDeleteo7
No place for Mike Azariah? Bad Jester! No cookie!
ReplyDeleteAlso, what is the logic for including Progodlegend? I understand that he's supposed to be smart and chill and whatever, but his "campaign" makes him look like a vanity candidate.
Honestly, this was a really hard decision. Mike is a *really* good guy, very nice, very professional. But there's not a lot of *there* there. He's much better as a CSM commentator than a CSM member. Listen to his Xander interview and you can see that. Before long, Mike is talking about the CSM in general terms instead of talking about a CSM with him on it.
DeleteIt's a pretty major flaw. The CSM doesn't need more listeners and commenters.
4 more votes for u ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Ripard, are you still endorsing Riverini after this arrogant post?
ReplyDeletehttp://evenews24.com/2013/04/06/eve-news24s-csm8-endorsements/
He endorses you and Trebor (despite of his disdain for Trebor), and then fundamentally insults the other 11 people he will have to work with as a bunch of wannabes.
Seems like "Internet Spaceship Celebrity" as gone to his head all of a sudden.
I did not vote for your slate. I did cast 8 votes with you at #1
ReplyDeleteHey Jester, what is your opinion of the resist bonus nerf to 4% ?
ReplyDeleteDude, threw u 4 second place votes, hope u get in
