I'm sure that any of the other CSMs will, after wearily unplugging their ears, confirm that I have been a tireless defender of villainous bastardy in EVE.

After he's elected, its the Council of ARAM.

Matias Otero

He brings a fresh perspective to the game,

They are a number of other decent candidates, but Matias stands out as an inspirational visionary and that can only be good for a 10 year old game. Assuming CCP do listen to the CSM that is!

Won't happen.

I play EVE to enjoy myself. The last thing I want to do is actually make an effort to change things or suggest changes. It means I need to stop looking at EVE as a game I relax with in the evenings and look at it as a second job.

The only thing I can hope is whoever is in power to ask these questions or bring forth changes is actually up to the task.

I see many NULL pilots talk about stuff in general which includes null/low/high. Not one them have said anything that makes me believe they know anything about anything outside of null or low for that matter. It would be nice to see somebody focus some effort on things in high as well.

Malcanis is right though, it should not be about your specific area you operate in. The truth of the matter however is people will look at what they know.

If a CSM representative is hisec, lowsec, nullsec, pirate, carebear, indy, blobber, solo, up, down, strange, sideways, sex appeal or peppermint is 100% irrelevant.

What matters is if you think that the persons you vote for can work with CCP and help them bring us a better game.



Thank you. I shall now make a band called Sideways Sex Peppermint in your honor. SSP for life.

I'm voting for whichever CSM candidate promises to hunt down the DDoS attackers and remove their fingers from their hands in the slowest, most creative, and painful way imaginable. Flaying the skin on each finger and dripping salt or citrus until they beg to have it cut off sounds good. Kinda like what the GOT books described. If they can do that then they have my vote.Twisted



Did someone lose their ratting tengu to a Ddos attack? Blink

Last couple of pages is exactly why people should not vote for Malcanis this year.

Every discussion he gets into turns into a **** fest with people getting defensive on both sides. I've said this about a few others and I'll say it again here: He acts like an obnoxious, full of himself 16 year old. I acted almost identically on forums when I was that age.

His attitude is offensive and as such does not allow for ideas to be properly discussed when he is involved. As such I would ask those who consider him to be right on many occasions to also consider if they'd prefer to have a mature adult representing them instead.

Are you saying none of these long list of nerfs to hisec pew, conflict and content generation were implemented on your watch, or the previous watches of other nullsec-loaded CSM's?

Thats my ultimate problem, everyone talks about representing 'hisec' but the evidence to the contrary is that CCP is pursuing unchallenged an active program of bubble-wrapping hisec, that gets nary a shrug from our so called CSM's representing hisec.

I want a fricken Gandalf on the bridge who will yell 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" when CCP next floats the test balloon of 'consensual only wardecs' around for example, or for that matter proposes any additional nerfs to hisec content creation....

Yet while they have clearly already done this, and previous CSM's did nothing to stop it, we are to believe 'nullsec CSM's can adequately represent hisec interests?". Carebears perhaps, not content creators.

IMHO

If only your passion for doing the work matched your commitment to whining that it isn't done.

I mean gosh, if only a few loudmouthed backseat drivers had stirred that corpulent corpus and put some god damb effort into getting elected and having a voice, maybe I'd have had some help with some of the issues that I lost the argument over.

Gandalf? You want ******* Gandalf? I don't recall being granted the powers of the Istarii as being part of the deal for being elected. We don't get to 1v1 Devs or GMs who make proposals we don't like on a shaky rock bridge over a bottomless chasm. We get to make the strongest argument we can for or against, in a professional, accountable environment.

I am one of the CSM9 candidates, and I'd appreciate your support. :) I am also rather fond of Proclus Diadocu, Asayanami Dei, Sugar Kyle, and Ali Arias.

All of them represent play styles that I enjoy and they are voices that I would want CCP to hear when they go looking for information on what the players want. (Of course, I am still putting myself at number one on my own ballot :D )

I vote for whomever has a distain for this so-called 'CODE'


Oh yeah, and boobees

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

Most of those nerfs were balanced out by other changes. Removing insurance payouts for suicide ganks is only natural when introducing tier 3 battlecruisers and buffing destroyers. Making wardecs more expensive makes sense when ISK is as easy to make as it is.

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Not all people play the game to hang out on forums and vote on people they never heard of, because they only exist on the forums and not in the game.

I have never played an MMO where those customer representatives were serving the huge game population, they have always been from the minority, spend all their time on the forums and often rarely put many hours in actually playing the game at all.

I have yet to really see CSM in Eve do anything, but I am going to be very surprised if its any different.

What efforts have you ever made to even try and see if we've done anything?

Man you're not even cynical. You're just lazy.

I'd estimate that CSM8 between us put in something like 10,000 hours this year.

You've spent 2 minutes making a poorly thought out, wholly uninformed forum post.
