CSM Campaigns

What are your thoughts on the relationship between Cruisers and BattleCruisers and Battleships. Ever since the Warp Speed Changes, this game has become very cruiser heavy, coupled with the buffs in the cruiser rebalance it seems that anything larger is irrelevant in todays game. (Exception being Drone based ships *Cough* Domi *Cough* that can project damage on any size target up and down the spectrum of course)

Looking at Battlecruisers do you feel that BC's are in need of improvements? What would you change about them, if nothing why not?

Looking at BS do you feel that BS's are in need of improvements? What would you change about them, if nothing why not?

I have been around for a while, and recall the good days where BC's and BS's and Cruisers all played an integral role in fleet make ups. BC > Cruisers > BS > BC. It was a nice little food chain, that demanded intel on enemy fleets so you could effectively counter what they were bringing to the field. Today 2/3rds of that chain are broken, and we are left with Cruisers trying to counter cruisers...and due to the nature of that, you see a perceived imbalance in ships, namely T3s or the king of range dictating, the Ishtar.

Do you think it is T3's and Ishtars that are the problem, or could it infact be that presently there is no bigger fish in the pond worth using to snuff them out? Or a little from column A, a little from column B?

Manfred is in my top 2 list.

You have my sword, etc.

No. your legion harbors members that scam newbros in recruitment channels. Not cool Manny, not cool.

you are not fit to be on CSM until you clean up PL.

>newbro >12m sp

That scam was perpetrated in a private convo. CCP allow you to do that, they don't allow scams to be don INSIDE the recruitment channel.

Secondly, if we are going to define a 12million SP pilot with a nearly 1billion ISK ship as a "newbro" then I'm an adorable newbie and should be free from being PVP'd.

Edit - Also lmao at you thinking Manny isn't "fit to be on CSM" because people in his alliance use valid mechanics CCP openly support and even warn players about.

Lol, you think its about you or your recruitment scams, or particular details of this scam? No my friend, its not. its about something bigger.

Its about creating and exploiting wedges in the community. Right now I opened up a wedge - Manfred's tolerance of scamming. Now, if someone on say evenews24.com or tmc picks this up, they are going to ask him a question - whats his stance on recruitment scams in his organization?

He has three answers.

1) He supports it. result - alienates half the normal people who will consider him nothing better then a CODE scumbag or a Goon scammer. Lost votes, others will spin this against him. He loses the election, again. Frankly, if he does support it, then he is no different from CODE. Scammers are scammers, all the same.

2) He fluffs the answer and appears weak and indecisive. Other candidates will exploit this at a minimum. Noone likes evasive politicians.

3) He says he is against. He will have to throw you under the bus of course, or at least that dude of yours, to make a show of commitment. This will have a positive effect on his image and differentiate him from Goon and other scamming candidates. Lots of potential for good spin here.

Take it from me, I was senior campaign manager for several Ontario provincial elections. I know how this **** works.

EDIT - oh lol look at this, in time it took me to type this, already 3! posts defending recruitment scams, one questioning Manfred's ability to enforce rules across his! organization, and one post got edited. Definitely a wedge, and definitely worthy of further note by journalists.

Man, such a puppetmaster. Truely Manny is crumbling before your might.

Alternatively, lol nerd no one cares.

Perhaps. depends if this gets picked up and fanned by Manfred's rivals, or wont.

My job is to highlight an issue.

Lol. Please point where I said Manfred was involved with any of the above. Learn to read replies.

The question was 'what is normal people in EVE - those who scam, or those who do not'? Erotica 1 episode demonstrated that majority of people are against scamming, ergo that is the normal behavior. And in any situation where there is a popularity contest between a normal and a scammer - normal wins.
