Too bad he is in the pockets of nulsec idealism.

And if null is so highly represented why has 0.0 been broken for years, and nothing done about it? Shocked





You are making a huge mistake thinking that Null players actually want anything in Null changed.

I laughed. He pulled out because, 'WAAAA NDA means I can't nerf anything, and now CCP picks who goes to Iceland so I'm going to throw in my towel and not even bother.'

The guy is a joke who is good for some tears on his blog, but most of the other stuff he talks about is like the ramblings of a madman. I personally have nothing against him and the gameplay he inspires, but he certainly isn't the sort of person who would get votes from anyone in high sec.

I get the same feeling. He has built himself a house of cards consisting solely of fragile e-genitalia. I doubt he has the fortitude to run without being sure of winning.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

high secers can barely organize their own ship fits let alone a voteing bloc. there either super casual or just bad players, why else would they live in highsec?

While I do find James and his cronies a joke

I do not find the idea that CCP can chose the 5 going to Iceland a joke.

It was a massive hit to the players power within the CSM

And frankly I think we can save time by just refering to those people as the brown nosing 5.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

And yet it would allow them to actually reward those who put effort into the CSM, so people who are just troll candidates like Darius III won't get elected into a spot where they can do nothing and still go to Iceland. It's not as ideal as the CSM voting on it, but it's better than that.

IMO it don't matter who gets on the CSM. They go tell CCP things CCP already knows because the Devs read the forums too, CCP says "thanks for all the help" and then usually end the meetings by either saying they don't have the code to fix the issues or their working on it some time soon. CCP then does whatever they are going to do cause its their game. At the end of the day and the CSM is a way to make players feel good about having a voice. Much like voting new politicians to congress changes U.S. policy...

Do you mean as apposed to the last 2 CSM secretaries who haven't done their jobs?

So no it will not reward hard work, it will reward those who play the game, and pucker up.

You should check out more of the US laws.

Adding new people to congress makes a big change, a change in the number of people certain laws can no longer effect.

James has taken his hat out of the race. He has decided that the candidacy would negatively affect his blog and outreach by curtailing what information he can post about.

The spirit of democracy is that the will of the people comes first. Regardless of who they choose as their representatives. They people cannot vote "wrong" on who represents their will in power.

But with CCP pulling every single string to begin with I just wish they would throw out this farce of an election and just pick the candidates themselves.

Huh, really. I'll give him partial credit for the accuracy of that prediction. Maybe I underestimated him.

Would you like to back that up with actual proof besides the minutes as the secretaries job is a hell of a lot more than just that.

This thread is delivering giggles. Keep it up folks, I can use 'em. P

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Didn't vote? Then you voted for NulBloc

See the C in this Photo. It proves that James is a prop of Mittani. The evidence is right there.
