I have worked with Corbexx for a year and I do not doubt for a single moment that he will continue to represent wormholes and, more importantly, THE WHOLE DAMN GAME.

actually I did vote half based on ticker (not nullsec alliance). If he had been honest instead of waiting til csm were announced things would of been different. Then he would of either lost or won as a Goon WH representative. How can I trust him to do whats best for wormholes and not follow Goon agenda?

Hes done a good job last year, I will give him that. But he should of been open about him going to join Goons during the election.

Lol if he did, they would kick him from goons.. Then again Repercussus has C6 farm with a lot of dudes so maybe all goons switch to C6 so we can farm them.

We voted for a man from wormholes, living in wormholes, whose primary occupation was wormholes, whose primary concern would continue to be wormholes for the entirety of his term. Having him ship his main to a null block day 1 (day zero?) is a slap in the face to the voters.

I'll still be in w space with my alts in several wormhole's. As alot know I have characters in 4 different wormholes so please don't think just cos Corb is in goons I won't be in W-space.

I'll still be working for W space so dont worry there.


Corbexx, you did a fantastic job last year. But I wasn't planning on voting for a guy with alts in several wormholes, I wanted a main. I look forward to seeing these projects of yours, only time will tell if you're able to stay focused on wormholes the whole year. Being a null diplo can keep you rather busy.

Those defending Corbexx need to understand that the reason for the posts questioning him are not polarized. Nobody with any sense hates him, nobody has questioned his contribution in the past CSM. Infact we quite rightly point him out as one of the hardest working reps on one of the best CSMs we've ever had (that coming from both the playerbase and CCP). He is a nice bloke (standard, he's a Brit we expect no less) with amazing dress sense etc etc. I don't expect any of that to change.

The issue for me personally, as far as there is one, is the PR side. He's not trolled us, Goons have. And he let them use him for a stunt - they are lapping at our tears and WH tears:best tears as we saw with the mass changes. They don't like us and we don't like them. Corbexx knows this much at least, and cannot have expected a different reaction from the people who voted him in last year; the people that gave him this opportunity in the first place. What does that say about his attitude to us as players/his voters? To WH space in general?

In lieu of any real explanation as to why he made this move, what this tells me is Corbexx is a pawn, and wants to play at the big boys table, leveraging his work in the past year for dinner with the Mittani and connections with people that really exert influence over the game. Not wormholers. We are marginal at best and have to accept it.

Regardless, you had my vote and you likely will again next year if you produce like you did for us before. It's not as if we have anyone better to stand for us. Yet.

Huh... I didnt realize what upset me about the whole thing until I read this lol.

Except for that last part. I still want to believe that he cares for wormholes just don't know if he will have the time if he TRULY took the diplo job.

Corbexx, you are dead to me !

First you run on a Wormhole campaign, the entire wormhole community voted for you, trusting you that you had their interests at heart... and then you pull this **** ?

I think the Goons are not well liked amoung wormholers, we trust a man who is honest and fair... what you just pulled goes against everything we voted for.

There is a lot of anger in this thread. Aren't you guys supposed to give gf after you are beaten?

If this was the only way goons managed to "get back" at wormholers, who have regularly been farming goon ratters, then no theres no point in giving goons a gf. Just a mediochre laugh in their direction and then continue as usual.

First of all - i have given them a "well played", so read what others posted first maybe?

and regarding the anger - again - read what others posted

to me it seems like most of the people aren't angry...they are disappointed and feel betrayed - many stated that it's fine to change corp and alliance as one wants, but not in this way, with this timing...not if you harvest votes, also based on your ticker

this lack of real anger and the plethora of disappointed posts is something that would worry me if i was corbexx - this is not reddit going "how could you, go diaf" and such exagerated bs

As he said above! At the end of the day, this is just a game and not a single one of these people are actually important.. however if you are going to play important, at least use the people who voted for you as ur followers. Corbexx made a bad move and should expect this response.

If I may make a comparison - thats like the church announcing "Al" become the new pope, and after "Al" is elected, he lets everyone know that he will now join the Muslim religion and has been planning to do so for a year - but ofc he states he will continue to represent the christian community.

What Corbexx did is fine in Eve-terms - but the CSM should be beyond the bullshit meta. I expect the CSM to look out for the voters interests, and not their own..

Indeed, and I would like to thank Corbexx (the man) for an effective demonstration of his honesty and integrity.

This demonstration is an effective response to any players who look to Corbexx to fairly represent their interests.

And, by extension, fully incorporates the CSM as being dominated by the EVE metagame,
rather than being an honest attempt to improve the game for all.
