CCP's foray into democracy in EVE Online has moved another step forward as the applicants for the Council of Stellar Management can now officially be called candidates. Ineligible applicants have been removed from the running, and CCP has broken down the application statistics for us to consume.
These are interesting times we live in. Setting up a democratic structure in EVE has not been the easiest process we have undertaken, but we truly feel it is well worth the effort because of the interest you have shown in the project. Now, this blog is to tell you a thing or two about the statistics of the applications received and the approved applicants, now lovingly referred to as candidates.*
But on to the statistics.
- We received 97 applications.
- We accepted 64.
- We rejected 33.
Rejection reasons:
- A scan of the passport was not supplied and either a personal photo was supplied instead, an expired passport or another type of identification that was not a passport.
- EULA violation by the applicants.
- Two applicants requested to be withdrawn and thus they count as being rejected.
- Two applications were sent in by CCP for testing purposes when the service was reported as being down and they are included in these counts.
- One applicant managed to apply twice due to some technical glitch we were unable to reproduce, one of those applications was rejected.
