EVE General Discussion

You have only provided a specific portion of the blog. Missed off a number of supporting points.

I'm not going to hold a gun to anyone's head. I'm simply presenting information.

It's up to the convictions of the individual to support something and that is a personal choice.

By the way, it's ~370k active accounts. Not 745, not 248. There is no way of knowing how many active players there are.

Which really makes your advice stink all the worse, now, doesn't it?

I mean you could have stepped up and opposed him. You could have rallied the troops around a centrist candidate.

Yet you did nothing, and continue to do nothing but qq about representation.

Do you understand how monumentally fail this looks?

It's so good of you to give people what they already had: Freedom of Choice!

I think that should be what FC stands for. In fleets from now on, I think the CFC FC's should leave it up to people to decide for themselves what to do, you know, instead of actually leading them.

Yes, you are the harbinger of a new era in EVE! An era where the game resembles a sandbox, and people do what they want!

You really think the apathetic read through Xenura's lolplatform? Hans Jagerblitzen? Seriously?

There were like forty candidates. Splitting the vote between all non-Mittani candidates is genius!

I can't wait until we quit using focused-fire in fleets. Who needs to call primaries when there's a whole enemy fleet of targets to pick from?

Thank you so much for this freedom of choice.

For those interested and thinking your overwhelmed by the volume of candidates or amount of debate.

There is a useful tool called Vote Match that can help to look at significant points and views the candidates may have.

You may still want to look at details further and ask specific questions of the candidates of course, but it may help as a tool to narrow down candidates to a shortlist to research.

I for one liked the last CSM. They stopped the game from turning into Barbie INNN SPAAACE! which was really never that bad, but was unnecessary and pretty much useless. EVE needs more updates like Crucible. Stuff that actually betters how the game plays

Of course why do we need CSM if we can just voice our opinions on the forums or other mediums? The problem with that comes from the fact that there are two completely different and very large groups in EVE. The PVP community and the hi-sec Carebear community. Because of people having multiple accounts, each with multiple characters, it is very easy to inflate one side and make it look like more people share a certain opinion than meets the eye.

What the CSM gives us is the ability to pick someone that shares the same opinions as we do, and vote for them. Because votes are restricted to one per account, the numbers aren't inflated as much and CCP can more accurately see what the popular opinions are and base the game's future off of that.

Refusing to vote for CSM is pretty much the same as not sharing your opinion. If you hate something, then vote for someone that hates it too! Not voting just gives CCP the wrong ideas of what people want which causes them to make the decisions that we all ***** about in the forums.

Plus, I like all the chaos and tear inducing things that exist in EVE! A corp scam you? Then join as an alt and steal their stuff! People attacking your mining op? Recruit others and take the fight to them! All of the crazy things that can happen in EVE are what makes the game fun. Knowing you can be on top of the world one day and then easily booted to the bottom keeps people alert and more willing to log in every day to make sure that such a thing never happens. If EVE had no betrayal and bullying then EVE would be just another MMO.

So interesting that you now collectively support the works as the whole of the CSM 6, yet my objections are leveled or intended to be leveled at one candidate.

Here's an interesting opinion on the efforts of Mittens where as a result there seems to be more than one aspect of apathy or laziness that might need to be prevented as a result for CSM7.

I have voted. The priviledge of the ballot box affords non-disclosure.

I simply encourage people to vote not how to vote, already stated this.

I would have thought it obvious that a "stop apathy" position actually supported the democratic process of the CSM as its trying to encourage effective representation. As such its a view supporting the CSM electorate process and as such the CSM based on the results. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could connect the dots on this one.

If Mittens gets elected to the CSM I wll accept it.

I do not support what he stands for however. Considering that I have declared this above with the use of the english language might provide some direct evidence to this view. But feel free to manipulate and interpret my views for me from your own point of view completing neglecting my stance. After all this is primarly how Mittens enacts his political views anyhow I guess.
