Jita Park Speakers Corner

How is that low? High-sec is badly in need of balancing. James 315 certainly can't dictate to CCP how things should be done but he would serve as an effective sounding board able to point out bad ideas that would further the current, nearly intolerable imbalance.


I can't see where people get this idea that anybody is pushing them around. Even if high-sec were nerfed into oblivion nothing would prevent you from staying there.

I'm detecting sarcasm, but I should also note that the candidate application period hasn't started yet. We'll know for sure when James 315 sends in his application.

I'm just curious. I disagree with James on some important issues, but I respect his passion for his vision of EVE. However his passion is moot if he's not qualified to run.

No "?" jeez, I suck

I'd like to thank the EvE community for not busting my chops for that mistake.

Hardly a reason not to vote for James. Firstly, there's nothing wrong with scamming. It shows that the scammer is in touch with all areas of the game - scamming is a legitimate playstyle too! Secondly, The Mittani is known to have scammed several supercaps, amounting to at least tens of billions of ISK, and he is the exec of probably the alliance with the greatest scamming history in the game. He was hands-down the most effective chairman the CSM has ever had.

And thus why I laughed.
Do not confuse legality with morality.

I spend my days mining away in my asteroid eating carebear suit in Hykanima.

Why hasn't James315 come to bump me?

It seems they are not serious about their bumping business which is a good indicator James315 will not be any good at CSM.
No point voting for him if he can't deliver on his own services.

So do I need to turn myself into the police for all the times I played Modern Warfare online and shot other people to death while laughing manically? Or the times I played Counter Strike and planted bombs as a terrorist? Should I repent for all the times I played Left 4 Dead and took glee in the malicious murder of other players? All the team killing I've done? All the jumpkick spam I did in FEAR? Am I to be judged by a jury of my peers for the thousands upon thousands of deaths I've inflicted in a mere day of playing StarCraft?

Thank goodness I'm not to blame for all the griefing I did in Team Fortress 2 against the other team of human beings when I deployed a sentry, though, as the sentry did all that. That would have been too much for me to bear.

You guys are taking that too far, that wasn't my point.

Some people are pvp pilots and run on "pvp" platforms. Others live in sov space and run on 0.0 sovereignty platforms. Others are hi-sec dwellers and run on that platform. Others are pirates and run on pirate platforms.
You're comfortable with scamming. You find it to be an interesting and unique element of Eve. To you, this is a point in James's favor. But not everyone thinks the same way. What for you is a pro, to another is a con. It's not like you only said, "James has excellent knowledge of how Eve works," something I would hope all players would approve of. You said, "look, James has pulled off huge scams!" and then asked "why wouldn't one want to vote for him?"

It's comical how Eve-culturally-centric and narrow-minded that is. Thus, I laughed.

Anyways, no need to continue this further. Either you get it, or you don't, and James has an official thread which should be bumped more than this one.

Eve-centrism on the EVE-O forums? Outrageous!

Thus, I laughed.



Where?
