Well I was thinking of isk making potential and supporting arena pvp. It seems tech moons and high sec incursions are the best isk makers. Maybe that means hi seccer have potential to run arena and null seccers. Of course that isk is used to make titans and mothers, as well as reimburesment and whatever incursion runners buy. So some hard decisions would have to be made there I imagine. But it does seem low sec has no real way of making decent isk. I am not a sadist, so I wont mention them just doing low sec incursion if they want an arena style pvp.

So there are some decent isk makers to support arena play, but they do come with hard decisions and people who enjoy low sec would be hard hit up to make isk enough to join in.

What's most interesting about this statement is that your alliance has spent a lot of effort trying to draw the distinction between your role in-game (dishonest, scammer, etc.) and what you are in real life. It appears that they're wrong about you and we can expect the same things from you as a CSM as we expect in game. All those arguments about how Eve is a sandbox which excuses your in-game behavior and how silly people are for thinking you're not different in real life were for nothing.

Thank you for clearing that up.

I'm an incumbent. You can expect exactly the same kind of stuff from me in CSM7 as you got in CSM6, the most effective CSM in history.

I'm delighted to run on my record.

There's an old saying that "you can't make a good deal with bad people." I view a vote for a CSM as a contract between myself and the CSM. You are an admitted sadist, brag about slinging mud as a politician, and draw no distinction between you as a person and The Mittani. Regardless of how effective you say you were as a CSM last year, I feel its only a matter of time before you fall back on who you are as a person and politician. When this happens I think it's safe to say that you'll have no problem with screwing everyone over if you can... Eve, CCP, the players, and those who voted for you. I mean that's what mud-slinging sadists do, right? I'm sure it'll be lol-tastic too.

However, I'd rather vote for someone who is a decent human being to represent me in Iceland.

Don't kid yourself. You and the rest of the goons will vote for him because you're a socially inept lemming who is happy to do what he's told because you live vicariously through The Mittani. The bigger he gets, the bigger and more important you'll feel. The fact that he's an admitted sadist and mudslinging politician who has trouble distinguishing between his role as a CSM and his role in-game will not affect your decision in either direction.

I think there's a lot of folks who missed my CSM6 campaign last year. I make no bones about being a complete bastard. Most people who know me in nullsec or have been on the wrong end of my alliance are entirely aware of the lengths I go to in order to win.

In CSM6 I vowed that I would put my skill at raw bastardry to use - to improve the game and make the CSM actually work; I did exactly that. I'm not a saint, an angel, or a ~nice guy~. Those kind of people don't do well in a political group where your task is to influence and persuade others, to cut deals, to think in a Machiavellian manner.

If you think an effective politician is a 'moral' person, well, I know a great guy who can act as a trusted third party if you need to transfer a supercap!

Actually, you're kinda fail as a follower of Machiavelli. To quote The Prince:

"For this reason a prince ought to take care that he never lets anything slip from his lips that is not replete with the above-named five qualities, that he may appear to him who sees and hears him altogether merciful, faithful, humane, upright, and religious."

See, Machiavelli understood that a leader had to APPEAR virtuous, despite his true nature. It's funny you should mention Machiavelli as I was just musing to myself that you must have never read him. You're not going to be elected because you're a master of Machiavelli's teachings. You'll get elected because of the structure of the election and the large voting block you control.

This Alexander Gianturco fellow, I don't think he would beat a dog, unless under the most extreme circumstances/duress.

The Mittani is an asshole. I hear that this Alexander Gianturco fellow is actually a pretty nice and friendly guy.

Would you mind please going over your views of incursion going into CSM7? With the possibility of a renewed campaign to get them seriously nerfed in the future I would like to know if you are willing to go from a rather passive stance to that of defending them and content like it from those with an agenda of pushing more CTA participation without benefits. Or those who just hate highsec.

I don't really deal with Incursions much. On CSM6 the 'Incursion Session' in the December minutes was primarily spearheaded by Draco Llasa, as he had done a bunch of research and participated heavily in them firsthand. I generally stand by Draco's knowledge on this topic, so if the December minutes comments on Incursions makes you extremely angry, vOv

I'd like to see more flavors of Incursions than Sansha and more variety in sites, and they also need to stop spewing out comical amounts of risk-free isk in hisec. That's a fairly common view. Incursions are certainly superior as content goes to L4 missions, that's unquestionable. I've suggested having 'Newbie Incursions' as well to get new players to group up and fight against a common foe as a NPE experience, to snap new players out of the 'all alone' mindset.

Ah. That's a bit disappointing.

Well, when you get the only thing that gives your life meaning back up and running, perhaps you could post a list of politicians who -admit- they're mudslingers. There are plenty of mud-slinging politicians out there, but I'm having trouble remembering any of them labeling themselves such. Can you help me out here? Right, not really. I guess most -real- politicians actually read Machiavelli and practice what they learned instead of pretending. Oops
