So first yes Corbexx will be joining goonswarm.

I'll be playing more on my alts now than him, which I was sort of doing anyway. One of the main issues of being on the the CSM is that when ever you log in you get bombarded with convos and mails. It makes it actually hard to play the game I enjoy very hard.

I'll still be in w space with my alts in several wormhole's. As alot know I have characters in 4 different wormholes so please don't think just cos Corb is in goons I won't be in W-space.

I'll still be working for W space so dont worry there.

I have a couple idea's and projects lined up already on stuff i'd like to start with.

Corbexx for CSM X - Wormholes still deserve better

+1 | Best Wormho!e CSMX™

Nothing in regard to "Corbexx the CSM rep" has changed, and anyone who complains from a CSM standpoint is terrible. He was the best option yesterday, and he is still the best option today.

Relax folks...

Look i can understand you want to do something you will find fun in the game, it is a game after all go for it man.

What i can't go along with without saying something though is you have been in discussing/planning this well before election and as soon as you are elected bamn you are putting your CSM elected character into grr goons. I find it personally very deceiving from you.

You have been a great CSM and honestly i think you will still represent us well this year but i think you already know this will be your last year as CSM so make it count i guess...

I am Winthorp you might remember me from such films as i got CCP to make signature ID's persistent through DT for their love of AU bros.

I guess the biggest question everyone has is "why you do dis?"

If you really aren't going to be playing Corbexx much, you will be playing all your alts then why bother put him in your primary constituents and most of EVE's most hated entity? You want to go to Lazerhawks/SSC/Vipers/Isogen/(I guess other wh groups exist?) no one bats an eye, but Goonswarm just seems all to convenient with very little reasoning being presented...

it matters because results in their own right don't necessarily mean results for the betterment of the people who you supposedly represent:*Snip* Please refrain from discussing real life politics. ISD Ezwal.

I think that most of the people worries about the fact that he was not a part of a powerblock at the time they voted for him but from a community, then they feel betrayed that 1 day after the CSMX election their favorite candidate announces that he will join GSF.

Then people are thinking about, that CSM candidates from powerblock are hardly relevant, as they have been elected by their alliance mates to represent their alliance and defend their interests which is not the real purpose of the CSM.

Personnaly i dont know what to think about all of that... wait and see i guess.

If he announced it before election he likely wouldn't have been elected on the wh votes. To make the switch after the election is just a **** move. Likely knowing it would have ****** him beforehand. It stinks.

It just comes as a very hamfisted move and a bit silly. You essentially shot yourself in the foot and burned off lot of good PR. Which is a damn shame cause you usually came across like a level headed and competent guy.

You'll have to pull off some seriously amazing good work (more than already, which is a shame again) to mend some fences.

So if goons have a C5 for farming, does that mean you are still trying to nerf C5 Escalations?

ugh so conflicted. On the one hand as long as you perform as you have in the past year Im happy....but on the other I dont like it, results or no results, because you literally alienated the majority of your voters by going to a null block and everything you do or CCP releases that touches wormholes will be questioned because of the corp tag.

Am I upset?

A bit. I thought I was voting for a wormholer and i got a goon (It doesn't matter to me what you say about alts or not playing on main)

Is it gonna change my opinion that you will be a good CSM? **** no. I still believe you are a great CSM and while everything you do for the wormhole community in the coming year will be questioned by anyone that can afford to buy tin foil, it might just work out.

I voted for corbexx and the views he ran on (disclaimer: I have no experience in WH). I don't vote for corp tags.

It's a bit hypocritical, I think, to fly off the handle about bloc voting and then turn around and make assumptions about people just because their corp is one thing or another.

He wants to do the job he signed up for. Please support him.

Why dont you join GSF on alt, quietly, and avoid all of this? Why did you chose to make this a public performance and intentionally **** off everyone who voted for you?

I have no doubt that Corbexx will continue to work hard with CCP on issues that matter the most to wormholers, and that will be touched upon in CSMX. (Tech3 rebalance, structures, capital escalations, capital rebalance etc).

Will it make it harder to communicate with some/many of the community? Maybe, but that is up to him and us to work out.

Is there a potential to get a 0.0 csm block (+ sugar) to get behind important issues for w-space; yes, but Corbexx has done an incredible amount of work on his own and when teamed up with another csm.

Best of luck in the CSMX! (I will continue to suggest stuff on Skype)

Well, have to say that the venue and timing for this alliance change and possible shift in priorities does cast a dubious shadow on all this.
You didn't delay this announcement until being elected by your peers as a WH representative to CSM with full knowledge that you wouldn't had been elected if your voters would had known you're jumping to another wagon right after the lections, now didn't you ?

In RL politics that would be conspired as awesomely **** move towards your voters and frankly no matter the intentions, results or actual loyalties it does make us voters feel like we've been had.

In that sense a perfect goonie material of brewing a **** storm in a wineglass.

Why would this make it harder to communicate? What options for discussion have been closed because Corbexx wears a different alliance tag? The only obstacle to overcome is the absurd hysteria amongst some wormholers that anyone with a [CONDI] tag is a baby-eating monster powered by mind control lasers from Lowtax's secret moonbase.

(Of course what this really demonstrates is that many wormholers were never interested in voting in Corbexx the player, just in the partisan prestige of having one of "their guys" on the CSM)

Corbexx we don't trust...

Goons have always had a few bearing corps in C5 and C6 space, but they are slow to catch up with NC. when it comes to usage.
