-Manfred Sideous, on being removed from CSMX

Well, I have to say that at least he avoided drama.

Quoted for posterity

In case you missed it, earlier today CCP Leeloo posted the following to the forums:

Hi everyone,

I am here today to let you know that we have removed Manfred Sideous from CSM X.

The reasoning for his removal will of course remain confidential between CCP and Manfred, and we would like to thank him for his contributions during his term with CSM X.

And so it goes.  A permanent attending member removed.  So that is Gorga and Manfred… is UAxDEATH still there?  I know some were asking for him to be ousted at one point.

I know I don’t take the Council of Stellar Management all that seriously for a variety of reasons, but if this keeps up the phrase “removed from the CSM” is going to be as easy to take in stride as “indicted Illinois governor.”  Just something to be expected.

CSM X Winners Announced

Live from Iceland, complete with the red PowerPoint “spelling error” underlines, we have the winners of the CSM X election.  Out of 75 candidates, these are the 14 who topped the vote.

It looks like the permanent attendees (guaranteed travel to Iceland for meetings) are Sugar Kyle and Manfred Sideous, while half of the council looks to be made up of Null Sec bloc candidates, including CFC members Sion Kumitomo, Endie, and Thoric Frosthammer.

CCP will no doubt follow up with full voting details, but for now we know the makeup of CSM X.

Congratulations to the winners!  And we’re safe from Xenuria for another year.
