I hope they limit those Entosis to battleships, marauders (NOT Black OPs) and Capitals, otherwise we are in for a lot of annoying fly swatting while empty-clone-alt after empty-clone-alt flies rookie ship after rookie ship over to every SOV thing to mess with it.

What is the drug budget at CCP? TwistedP

Did you fact check this before you wrote it?
Let's break it down though shall we?

Mangala Solaris - RvB - large alliance (HS)
DJ FunkyBacon - EVE Radio - spot light position
Sion Kumitomo - Goons - large alliance (Null)
Progodlegend - Nulli - large alliance (Null)
Corebloodbrothers - Volt - large alliance (Null)
Ali Aras - Noir - large alliance (?)
Xander Phoena - Gents - large alliance (Null)
mynnna - Goons - large alliance (Null)
Asayanami Dei - no idea who this is or what their alliance is but not very big only 250 active members
Corbexx - No Holes - large alliance (Worm Holes)
Gorski Car - RvB - large alliance (HS)
Steve Ronuken - 3rd Party stuff - spot light position

Sugar Kyle - Low Sec campaigner.
Mike Azariah - High Sec newbie cuddle bear.

- - - -

2 - major exceptions
2 - high publicity characters
1 - wth?
5/14 definitely from Null Sec
9/14 definitely from large alliances.

Two from Goons
Two from Red vs Blue

If alliances are managing to elect two CSM candidates then clearly not enough people care about CSM.

Highest votes ever for CSM elections? Call it 50K / 500K so 10% of EVE voted.

We have been running through scenarios. As the SOV changes are planned right now, there is no point defending SOV.
This is a really heavy handed solution with very short sightedness.

It will be a lot of small gangs fighting ... mechanics perfect for Low Sec, not for an aging player population that wants to build things and work strategically.

Griefer's Paradise and Interceptors Online, here we come.
(All the interceptors spreading out everywhere to hack every SOV unit in a region)

The trouble is that Low Sec isn't the next step from High Sec, if it was a valid place to build a large alliance then Null Sec would not be stagnant, right now.

Null is a symptom of bad Low Sec design..

So, I found out that Tora's war declaration is still active today! Lol
A guy from my alliance went all the way up and had a look at Jita, went something like this,
"Hey guys there is a bunch of war targets on Jita station,"
"Really? We are at war?"
"Yeah, why didn't anyone tell me?"
" ... because it isn't serious. We lose and destroy more in a night in one fleet fight than they have managed in two weeks."

I mean come on, we had three war decs on us already when he declared war. Did he really think it would bother us? RollLol
(I suppose that he has to believe he achieves something or he would just have to give up).
Now, I am interested to see how long he keep the declaration running non-stop.

This whole thing is like dealing with a toddler:
"Johnny, have you been naughty?* John starts pummelling your thigh* "Hey! Don't be silly little guy, you can't hurt me with your tiny fists. Why didn't you just answer the question?" Lol

You do seem more worked up about it than he is, even if you also believe you're winning. I don't think he really puts much thought into who he decs, he just likes lots of red targets and a constant influx of tears.

FT Diomedes: "Reaver, sometimes I wonder what you are thinking when you sit down to post."

I am having a very public laugh at his impotence and how there is a candidate that is so unapproachable. Blink
(Can you imagine it?
"Hi Tora, I have some concerns about the mechanics they plan for SOV."
"Get lost! I don't care."
"Isn't that an odd way for CSM to respond?"
"Declaring war on you! Raaagh!" ) Lol


I do like your idea about making supers and Titans have various sub roles and access levels, so you can "moor" them to a POS. (Have to destroy the POS to get the super / Titan) and then be able to go about your business, while others with the roles can use some of the ship abilities.

(By the way, Marlona Sky biomassed).

I want to call it a wheel.
Aren't I clever?
Now this wheel it is not very good because I cut it from a pine tree and I totally blame forestry department for not planting the mahogany trees where I wanted to cut trees!
HOW DARE THEY DO THAT?!
FREAKING GREENIES?!

Listen! LISTEN! I have an opinion about this! What you say doesn't matter!
I HAVE THIS UNIQUE IDEA and PERSPECTVE!!!
Mahogany trees much be planted over here so I can make better wood wheels!

What do you mean you have metal alloy wheels with rubber tires?!

Keep spamming Locals in High Sec.
Ask people to vote.
Try and beat 10% of the population voting this year.

Closing statement:

It has been quite an experience.
Quite some day ago, I said that win or lose, I won't be running again next year.
The whole process reinforced my belief that CSM is a farce where mostly only a few people from large alliance win seats. (Few token ones from other parts of EVE). Notice how much of Goons slate won seats, for example.
The way CCP Fozzie Logic is going ahead with Low Sec 2.0 and ignoring player and CSM feedback further fortifies my beliefs that CSM is a PR puppet that looks good when they dance to the right tune. I am glad that I will not share in the blame for such bone-headed design changes.

To future candidates, remember that Marlona Sky biomassed over the process of running for CSM.

Fortunately, good ones from CSM 9 were re-elected.
If people voted for me over some others, who I am glad lost the election, then I have done my part for EVE.

Not that I disagree, but posting this just hours after you lost just makes you look like a butthurt whiner. Intended or not, it's distinctly lacking in class.

Don't turn into a Xenuria just when you have the chance to show you can handle a loss with grace. Act like an adult today and go back on the attack tomorrow.

I was leaving a message for next year's hopeful candidates. That message is, in my experience, "Do not bother."

You're surprised that groups vote for their own members, that large numbers help those people win - and you think this represents a problem?
