Jita Park Speakers Corner

Great idea, a hisec candidate that can unite alliances and corps to form a political power bloc would be fantastic.

Unfortunately null is controlled politically by huge alliances that can pull votes out of their arses and rally behind their candidates. In hisec there is no real political power or control, the only CSM member that even comes close to representing hisec is Kelduum Revaan from Eve Uni. There are no common goals in hisec, every corp and alliance is out for themselves politically and there are no power blocs like there are in null.

I'm hisec pubbie scum and I'll admit to voting for mittens @ the last CSM election, why you may ask? because he ran a good campaign and didn't appear to have his head stuck up his own backside, the drunken debacle at the alliance panel was unfortunate. No matter what people think of the various CSM candidates they have one goal in common, they want Eve to survive as both a game and an example of what a game can become when the makers impose few limitations on what is possible.

TL;DR

We need a hisec candidate that hisec residents can rally behind, one with a manifesto that will appeal to miners, industrialists, mission runners, ninjas and traders alike.

The OPs reasoning I have no idea but when you are dealing with only having to manipulate a few hundred people into voting for someone it really isn't that hard.

That is why more of EvE needs to vote, the current system is very easy to manipulate.

Maybe someone should step in and help fill that lack of leadership.

I hear that NC. might soon be free of their sov, maybe this is an opportunity they could look into.

HAHAHAHHA I do agree with OP but this was too good.

You're right about the first part we are potentially the biggest bloc in the game, but we're a power bloc that has no cohesion, no common goals and subsequently no political influence.

As for the second part, please don't lump all of us together as risk averse farmers with nothing in mind but next months PLEX, some of us are, some of us aren't.

Ok, but you guys sure whine about the same things, which is very tangible cohesion, the common goal is more safety less risk. How many times have you guys veto shot-down moving all lvl4s to lowsec.
In fact, there are more dissension in null than there ever was in hisec, ie the titan tracking & supercap drones nerf, so it's not like null is collectively banding up to get you.

More safety, less risk is bad for the game not to mention boring, if I wanted safety I'd go play Hello Kitty Online. The risk of losing a ship, the contents and your implants are what makes Eve great, the moment that the death penalties disappear in Eve is the moment an awful lot of us leave the game, sure you'd still end up with a shedload of carebears flying around in complete safety but they'd get bored real quick, danger is what make the game interesting.

Personally I ninja WHs and do losec exploration as well as running missions & manufacturing in hisec, if CCP moved all lvl 4 missions to losec you'd get very few people running them, only the adventurous would try (probably in cloaky T3's) and the risk averse will just grind lvl 3's all day, then the cycle would start again until lvl 3's are moved to losec.

When I move my operations in the near future I'll be 11 jumps from null, I may just pop in and see how the big boys do it , I'll probably get exploded but hey that's half the fun, the other half is returning the favour.



You make a good point sir, hence the potentially part, I am well aware that an awful lot of hisec residents are alts of lo and null sec players.

OP, why do you always yell when you say "null?" Or has it been backronym'ed recently and I'd forgotten...

If only there was a powerful political leader who forced change like never before..

Over 10,000 alts can't be wrong?
