Crime & Punishment

In every field of human endeavor, he that is a strong leader must live in the spotlight. In office, in art, literature,and public service-the rewards and the punishment are nearly identical. The rewards for good service in office are widespread recognition and discussion, for failure fierce denial and detraction. It can become difficult to tell which is which at times.

When a mans work becomes a standard for the rest of the world, it also becomes a target for the venomous attacks of the envious few. If his work is merely mediocre, he will be left alone to stew in a sea of mediocrity. If he has performed a masterpiece, both his fans and detractors will celebrate and loudly protest. Jealousy does not protrude it's forked tongue at a man with commonplace achievements.

When you gank, grief, or take it upon yourself to balance mechanics or change the game, no one will strive to surpass or to bother slandering you-unless your work is stamped with a unique quality. Long after great works are accomplished those who who are disappointed or envious will continue to cry out the inequities of the men responsible for works that surpassed the mundane.

The small minded men cry out that nothing was changed, even in the face oncoming revisions.The leader is assailed because he broke new ground as older ways gave in to new, and a new day breaks.. Failing to equal or excel a mans contribution, the followers seek to depreciate or destroy the validity of his works. This only confirms once more the quality of the deeds done. When they show their fear, greed and ambition in such a lowly manner, it only cements the reputation of those slandered and proves their worth.

Good deeds make themselves known -no matter how loud the clamor of denial. Be not swayed by the lies and slander of those who oppose but rather accept the truth-that a good effort was put forth. When YOU-the people of Crime and Punishment-elected me, I made three promises. I promised to have fun, to gank at least one person a week while in office, and not to make a mockery of the Council of Stellar Management. I have kept these promises.

I have done my best to represent us to CCP, our needs for a more balanced system were put forth in a judicious manner. I have come under intense scrutiny even as I tried to thwart the machinations of those who would pervert the CSM towards the goals of their corporations, alliances and even their own oversized egos. Many candidates claim to represent a broad player base, or bring new ideas to the table. Many others claim to be the "Anti-Mittani." Their promises and claims ring hollow to my ears.

I ask you, residents of the only worthwhile Sub-Forum in Eve, to again support me as your candidate for CSM. The road to another term will be a difficult one, and the price of failure high. Will you travel that perilous road with me once again, that we may continue be the voice of dissent against a sanitized and sterile CSM with the vast majority of the candidates serving as silent "yes-men" to the chairman? I can not reach for the brass ring, and the right to reject injustice, without you.

+1 D3

avoid unnecessary political correctness
avoid being represented by people who have never left highsec or done anything other than primary veldspar
avoid goons

EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE THE CANDIDATE WE ALL WANT TO WIN. OF COURSE I WILL VOTE FOR YOU AS I AM YOUR ALT AND+1 ERREDAY

How many Darius's are there? +1

Anyone the Goons hate as much as you is either a real asshat, or a pretty cool guy.

Giving CCP that giant Monocle was pretty chill Idea. And the tears from the bears were like a tidal wave. Other than rampant altposting in your own thread I am on board for all of it. +1

I flew with Darius III for a long time. The gyu definately knows the game better than almost anyone-he better as he doesnt work and plays Eve 18 hours a day. He is a dedicated guy and I laugh when I see all the GSF tears in his threads. When do we vote?

Rifter stole my stuff...

Darius III for CSM7

"You are not allowed to contact Darius III".

Honestly, you lost my votes with your annoying long winded crap in the first post. You are a pirate and suppose to represent us as such. Save for Guybrush, what pirate wasted time with such speech? It seems you spent more time trying to justify why you recieved flak for you choices instead if outlining those choices.

In other words, instead of flowery rhetoric, tell us what you actually plan to push for. That would convince me far better then.somecrap justification that makes you sound like a pompous wind-bag.
