Now, i don't normally post , mainly because their are to many troll and flamers.

However, i feel quite strongly about James315 or James 666 as i like to refer to him.

Let me make this clear. Him and the New Order and Code, and not the saviors of HS. They are not on some moral crusade to rid HS of Mining bots.

What he and his organisations run for the most part is a protection racket. In every system i have encountered them, they have been demanding isk for Permits to mine, thereby somehow proving they aren't bots. Failure to pay means your are ganked. Some members of code, don't even bother with that. They simply kill mining barges or any other easy ship, and post their kill in locals with some stupid drivel about The New ORDER.

This guy does not represent the views of a majority of HS. And although botting is a continued issue, blwoing up every miing barge you find isn't goign to help this, and Charging people for permits to mine in system he controls is simple a protection racket. An although eves sandbox supports these kind of scams, that doesn't mean we want someone who organised them sitting on CSM say he talks for hs .....

And no, i am not a miner, before anyone jumps on that band wagon.

Bottom dollar, do not vote for this twerp, he is a crock and vain egotist standing on a soap box spewing drivel and propaganda to get himself into CSM

Troll/Flame away.

This all makes absolute sense if you only view the CSM as a tool of CCP, rather than a tool of CCP AND the players.

The CSM is basically two-pronged: The first is what CCP wants - volunteer consultants. They want people to bounce their own ideas off of, and to help sell said ideas to the players. This purpose applies directly to everything you've said, and you're right about it.

The second, however, is what the players get - 7 advocates/lobbyists to personally go to Iceland twice a year. Not just a proverbial seat at the table, the literal seat. This is the voting players' best chance to actually get their views represented, as the 7 representatives are chosen directly by the players themselves.By changing the system this way, CCP's removed the majority of that voice from the players - instead of 7 advocates, we now have 2, as the other five are chosen by CCP themselves, and they're naturally only going to want people that will fulfill what they want from the CSM. Their choices of who goes and who doesn't also carries a lot of weight insofar as how much they'd listen to your voice - as I said, if they didn't choose you to go, why would you think they wanted your opinion?

Now how does this relate to James vs. any other candidate? It hinges on the last question - do you feel that doing the work is worth it for what could be a diminished chance to have your voice heard? There's no easy answer to that. James just seems like he decided that the seat at the table was the only reason he wanted to do this, and now that he was most likely not going to get one, it wasn't worth it to him, hence he's not running in the end. Could he have figured all of this out before the last day? Absolutely, but deadlines are funny that way - when it's do or die time sometimes you'll start to see things in a light you didn't before.

Just as an aside, I understand why CCP changed the "who goes to Iceland" rules. Having the top 7 voters go was honestly a pretty ****-poor way of deciding. I can totally see why they'd want some control over who goes and who doesn't. The fact that they took the majority of the seats away from the players is what should be giving people pause.

"Look any reason why you need to talk like that? I have now reported you. I dont need to listen to your bad tone. If you cant have a grown up conversation then leave the thread["

It's ok bro, he made a post on his blog a full day before you posted this to say he's not going to run. So now you don't need to worry about it ok.
