Updated ·7 min read

As it has become clear that the CSM has a significant impact on the development of EVE, new players are constantly attracted to the position. With the term limits relaxed, old council members are sure to take a lot of votes that would otherwise have gone to new blood. If you're not satisfied with what you've seen coming from the CSM so far and are looking for someone new that represents your play style, these are the guys to support.

New candidates may find it hard to gain enough support to grab a seat from one of the more experienced ex- council members. To that end, most will start a campaign website or write a general manifesto of the issues they plan to push to CCP at the CSM summit in Iceland. Below is a list of candidates that weren't previous CSM members but are running active campaigns or have set plans for what they want to do in office.

If you spot any errors in the list or have a useful link to contribute, please leave it in the comments on this page.
