Well, CSM has to been known to make things mysteriously disappear.

Zing.

I'm assuming you left at the server split in 2000 then when PvP was restricted. Things didn't actually get bad until Age of Shadows.

I'm in favour of slow death. So we can watch them squirm.

Continue.

Leave Malcy alone Sibyyl, he was one of the CSMs nominated to watch the forums. No-one deserves that. He's earned some stomping :)

I really hope Dinsdale runs for CSM sometime. EVE can be a heartless place at times, and comic relief is much appreciated.

Nope. Won't be me.
I have zero interest in the inevitable real life harassment I would be subjected to for starters.

Secondly, in this era of the internet being forever, I don't want my name associated with Eve, or for that matter, any video game. I don't want some future employer googling my name and saying "oh man, this guy is a real geek with video games."

Finally, I would be running on such an obstructionist platform that I would be considered "unprofessional", and no way CCP would even let me sit on the CSM, even if I got the required votes.

Besides, the die has been cast, the Rubicon crossed.

But the cartels do have to walk a fine line with the dismantling of high sec though.
Yes, they want to drive people into null serfdom to increase the leaders' income streams, but they also know that their own serfs do make enough ISK to finance their game play. I can't discuss on these forums the next logical step in this discussion, but there is clearly a supply / demand issue that becomes a big problem if high sec is completely removed from the game.

Please start a blog.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

You are literally the first UO player (assuming you actually played UO) who actually thought Trammel was anything other than the beginning of the end of the game.

At this rate, you probably thought the NGE was a great idea.

Bet accepted now lets start wiping out highsec, I think a good rate is 10 systems per hour.

1) nobody is going to harass you because, really, nobody cares enough

2) yeah you do have a point if I were you I probably wouldn't want my real life name associated with paranoid rants about cartels

3) maybe an "obstructionist platform" is not the best choice because "if elected I promise to impede any progress and halt all discussion by running around the room screaming" won't get you elected or flown to reykjavik if you /are/ elected

Still no actual official announcement on the forums.

Or the voting statistics.

It has always been put up just after the fan fest announcement every year. Why the delay?

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

I don't know. This looks really suspicious to me. For example, I didn't vote. None of my 3 accounts voted. Yet somehow, 14 people I didn't vote for managed to get elected.

If that doesn't stink of conspiracy, I don't know what does.

No, I reserve that for 3rd Dawn. It might surprise you that I thought at teh time that Trammel was a good compromise between players that wanted PvP and those that didn't.

Statistically though, UO had it's biggest number of subscribers during Age of Shadows and then started to taper off. Surprisingly, EA just announced that they were opening a new studio to continue development on it.

And I hated NGE, as anyone who had to bust their ass to become a Jedi should. Even now as I prepare to enjoy my new Sky Palace on the Smugglers Moon, I shudder to think of it.

So the people who claim that high sec should be wiped out are the same people who come to the forums and cry when a cloaked ship is sitting in a system all day, right?
