CSM Campaigns

Because you found it necessary to put a knife in my back on another podcast, I will no longer vote for you.

I have supported your campaign on CSM9 and for CSM10 I got you on the show again, and yet you found it necessary to disrespect me, something I never expected from you.

Firstly, he never named you. Pukin and Harry did.

Second, Mike was giving ChYph3r credit for doing right by the community and giving you media links on his site despite past personal feelings.

Personally, I doubt anyone cares about your "endorsement" any less than my own. But seeing as how your defensive victim complex has reared it's ugly head yet again, you're giving credence to why ChYph3r is, in fact, the bigger man here.

Easier to throw a tantrum than take a minute to comprehend, eh?

Mike, I tried talking to you in private about the issues between Tyrant and Cypher.

Honestly I tried burying this when I came on board, but it keeps coming up.

I even publicly thanked Cypher for adding LegacyofaCapsuleer.com to his podcast website, even after he called me names for having a different opinion then him.

- Cypher called anyone who is against the isboxer changes "c*nts and bitches"

- Someone on Podside threatened harm to Tyrants family over some stupid eve argument

- On Podside, on a live feed, CCP Seagull was called names I'd rather not repeat.

- Cypher proceeded on 280 to say that Tyrant is a Hitler supporter... Really?

- There was about 6 requests that came in before our interview with CCP Manifest asking us to push him to condemn or flat out ban Cypher and anyone else involved for the comment about CCP Seagull. There is a growing call to have CCP police podcasts and blogs because of these statements on Podside. None of us want that.

You said "With them I only stayed for a little while, I've never done that with anyone else."

You commend Cypher for adding LegacyofaCapsuleer.com to his podcast website but don't even attempt to call out all of these other issues, then take a swipe at us?

We brought you on because we liked you as a candidate and a person. However now we feel a bit slighted for reasons I can't really discern.

Edit oh and I forgot I happily donated a billion this to your Magic School Bus program months ago, you would think that would buy a bit of goodwill?

I'm more than willing to take a side here. I'd say in this heated exchange, Mike is clearly the better man.

You guys should take a moment to cool off before posting, and also try communicating with a person about disputes or tension and see if they're willing to work it out before you openly accuse them of anything. Two times out of three, you'll discover it was a misunderstanding and they meant no harm. One time out of three they go out of their way to make reparations. I'd wager Mike would be in that last one out of three, time permitting, and if you had a good case for damages.

Man, you lost it hard!
In short:
- EvE is a game
- CCP is the company with earning money in mind.
- being a company you need to be professional and people you work with need to be professional too.
- signing a NDA is a RL pleadge to a company, that comes far before every in game problem, personal oppinion or ingame pledge.




Bad luck for you:

man...
CSM are for input of oppinions and ideas to reflect the playerbase bevor changes might be done. They can decide nothing and the influence is limited. Worse: sometimes they are surpised by the facts CCP created but are powerless to change something AND are bound by the NDA.

I loved it, especially the ending

I am trying to think of a good one for Podside. It's difficult to decide on the video but I do have an idea of what I want to do and I am working on gathering video and finding good audio from the podcast.

Mike really again? Supporting you again if you are not tired of it.

Yes yes yes...Mike is a 'nice guy' who 'works hard'...

But wasn't Dexter also, working hard at slitting throats on HBO each week, while wearing a warm brother/father facade? Hardly a Dexter, but in Mike's case it's nodding with trained-seal approval as CCP slits their own throats.

Also, this is pretty damning commentary from another CSM who also sat behind the curtains.

My point is this, CSM membership shouldn't be a popularity or work-ethic contest (for Dexter shure worked hard at putting a lot of bodies in the ocean...). It should be about people who will simply fight to the death to defend the damned sandbox. We don't need a fence-sitting trained seal or carebear supporting nerfs. We need someone who will defend the sandbox.

EvE is not WoW for a reason, but Mike would take us there, while pretending he isn't helping CCP do just that.

For those of you unwilling to click the link I brought it over, with a reason.



The reason is I agree with almost all of it, I just see it in a different light.

He remains unconvinced of talking to the electorate, to going and and connecting with the players. To being on THESE forums. I am convinced that is what you are electing me to do. Communicate. If you think CSM/CCP knows best and they do not need you bumping his elbow then vote for people who only talk during the campaigns.

Fence sit? I always try to see both sides of an argument and usually both sides have some good points. I do not like things in Black or White, For us or Against us, Part of the Problem or part of the Solution. The world does not work that way. It is of compromise, agreement, consensus. So I engage, ask and look for the gems on each side of an argument. But that does not mean I waffle, notice he did NOT accuse me of that. I do make a stand but usually it is somewhere closer to the centre than some others do. Since he is more to extremes he finds me tough to read.

Active and engaged. . . . wow that is really damning, I have nothing to say to defend myself against that.

Anarchist- yup. I make my own rules and have an ingrained aversion to playing my game FOR someone else. That is why I do not do well in Null. Casual players cannot play alarm clock games, cannot make their monthly quotas of fleets and required activities. In Sions eyes a lot of players are probably slightly anarchistic. I represent THEM.

I read Sions article and laughed. What he saw as negatives are my best features. I like Sion as well, I get along with most folks. Comes from that centering tendencies of mine. I am what I am.
