Wormholes

Mike, i understand your PoV, you know the guy personally, and in your own analisys, you think that Corbexx will keep representing the WH comunity. But his actions showed a certain bad faith (the pancake move of moving to CFC), and now beign part of a big powerblock cast some shadows on his future actions. His retutation to the WH is now tarnished. I voted him for his past actions, not his corp or ticker, but his present action makes me to doubt in voting him in the next election.

U mad to a u mad comment. Quality comeback for a 4 year old.

In other news, it really doesn't matter who Corbexx flies with so long as he continues to represent wormhole space. Granted, the transition could probably have been done more tactfully, seemed like it was set up long in advance. But Corbexx is still the same person, still a decent guy, and I'm hopefully for what he will continue doing in the CSM.

Firstly, nomadbro. Play the game you want to play.

However, having stayed with you at fanfest, the way in which you did this was pretty ****. I remember we were talking about doing this as a joke over a beer on the first day of fanfest. You made myself and the rest of NoHo who went to the panel and cheered for you look a bit silly when two minutes later you announce you're leaving.

You've done a lot of work whilst on the csm, and I'm sure you will continue to do so. However, diploing for goons will take time and that time will come from your csm activities.

To those stating the man > ticker, please could you also send this opinion to mittens as he seems very proud of having 4 CFC csm members. I'm sure he will send his regards.

The ballot and election results both included the corp. Perhaps they should not but they did and it was "corbexx of noho" that got elected and not simply "corbexx." It does seem a rather impossible situation to build rules around but it does beg the question why did the candidate introduction from ccp, the ballot itself and the election results all include the corp?

My concern is the conflict of interest. In this coming year when it will be decided which structures apply to wspace and which only to null it would be nice if we had a representative that did not also have an interest in null getting the best deal possible. If we can upgrade a system, what our homes are like, how our assets are protected, arrays that change intelligence results / dscan, what harvesting, science and manufacturing are allowed are all vital questions for our future and in some cases a win for wspace will not be a win for goons. As such corbexx has placed himself in a difficult situation. Lets hope that next year we have two strong candidates on the council so we are not as vulnerable to this sort of shennanigan.

Half true at best. Personally, I thought CSM X work be dominated by null blocs so it would be good to have a wormhole independent. That didn't work out so well, did it? As for the man, Corbexx evidently thought it a good idea to deliberately taunt the people who put him back on the CSM, as well as bring the meta deep into the CSM. So that's not working out too well either.

Mike, I wonder how your core constituents would feel if you chose to join CODE the day after the announcement. You could try the 'man, not ticker' line but I'm not convinced it would work.

Dude steals 600B ISk of carebears: instant celebrity.
Dude AWOXes Revenant: instant celebrity.
Dude makes piles of terrible youtube videos showing how bad he is at EVE: instant celebrity.
Dude takes your votes, stuffs them up your date sideways and defects to goons: terrible person who must die alone in old age surrounded only by three-legged mangy cats and leprous dogs.

This is metagaming at it's best, and you all got played so hard you've got a trail of TP sticking out the back of your pants.

CSM elections are over, why are we still talking about this trash.

Its really sad that it came to this.. As people already said, Corbexx could have just joined goons on one of his numerous alts with the same result but just without this drama. Also we all knew at some level that corbexx and Sion had a good dialogue the previous year, being united in things like their issues with Xander, but still nobody really cared. Why didn't we? Cause he was "our guy". We elected him, he worked hard both for WH and the entire game, and we respected him for his efforts.

Ofc. with NOHO having some issues, it shouldn't surprise anyone that he ends up swapping corp, but the execution just goes to show how poorly Corbexx really understand the real dealings in politics. Sion understands this way better than him, and so i find it odd that he didn't warn his friend about the fallout of this move. Or maybe he did, but corbexx just didn't care. Whats done is done, and none of it matters at this stage.

The man behind the name still havent changed. He is still the same guy we also elected 1 year ago, and i still think he feels that he wants to help WH space. Still a great person, the CSM's thats been working with him and know him on a more personal level respect him also, and that should tell us something about his character instead of yelling "traitor!". Then again, trying to justify things with "its hard to play the game if your getting bombarded by people that wants to talk to you"... I feel kind of shocked to tell you this, you should actually know what the CSM is better than the most of us, that you got elected to represent & communicate with the people that elected you, and that should actually have come first.

Still, this was a choice Corbexx made for himself. Bridges are clearly burned, we as his voters got played, but thats the name of the game. Same as with any other scam going on in EVE. He set it up, he executed, and he succeeded. I doubt he did it with harmful intentions, but still this is the result we all have to live with from now. Calling for a revote or whatever, thats just childish, and its not gonna even be considered by CCP unless he actually choose to step down himself. People just need to start thinking already about who to vote for next year, if they havent lost faith in the CSM that is, and move on.

I just want to say i hope Corbexx actually does what he claims he want, to still work for WH space (but also all of the game). He obviously will have a lot harder time doing so this year than the previous. Its not gonna come as a surprice that theres hostility in the community atm, and calling for meetings and town halls will clearly have a lot less people show up and give the feedback he needs to do his job. I actually Sugar might have a easier time doing work for the WH community than Corbexx does, based on that we also know she helped a lot over the last year and still have our respect, even if we didnt vote on her as a WH representative.

In the end, Corbexx legacy is pretty much dead. Something i find sad, based on the great work he has done for us so far, and maybe will do again this next year. But come next election, he will be done as CMS, or he will run as a null player. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that a few years from now, theres gonna be a bad taste in WH-people's mouth whenever they say his name..

I don't think I could love this reply any more than blowing up bears

But, I believe Corbexx will represent WHs as best he can even if he does most of his WH activity from alts.
We ALL have alts, and if you don't you're doing it wrong.

Just disappointed a wormhole rep joins a bad nullgroup. You could've atleast joined BL, PIZZA or PL or one of the other competent ones, but no you join the largest group you could fine that's just barely competent.
