Assembly Hall

Isn't it the same of democratic elections in any democracy today? getting to understand issues and taking interest in representatives takes work and research. This is not for everyone, and it is up to each of us to decide if we want to cast our votes by blinfdly following a tradition, or following orders or doing our own research...


I somewhat agree with you, and I have a more jaded perspective. This game is very unique in the fact that it is one single shard and some players have been there for 13 years. Some have amassed considerable amount of power and influence, much like some families of professional politicians have done in RL. This is fundamentally human nature. The weird secret brotherhood of players is working top continue their domination of the games politics, like any one in their position (even you) would do. They do not necessarily crush new players has much as inticed them to join their ranks, through all these training corps that are fundamentally funnels for new in-game taxes income.
Find candidates and groups that fight the establishment and say they will upheld views you can agree with and support them. My top listed candidates for CSM X were Borat Guereen, Ashterothi and Chance Ravinne. Find yours and support them.

What is your badly-expressed point? That CCP should ignore the rules, skip down the list past all the nullsec candidates with more votes, and arbitrarily pick someone who doesn't play anywhere except highsec?

Was Gorga contacted? Or did he contact CCP as to explain his low activity? (no details needed, just curious)

Null sov war impacts everyone in EVE except that subset of super-new players that choose to live in highsec and ignore null.

My alliance primarily concentrates our activities in highsec (with a moderate amount of lowsec and occasional wormhole activity). We do not aspire to own sov and allow members to be loyal to whatever sov holders they want or to none. Yet sov affects us considerably.

Many of the, uh, clients of our ganking services are transporting items that are being imported to or exported from sov null. Changes in null industry affect the prices we pay for tech 2 blasters (Morphite is 12% of the build cost of Light Neutron Blaster II, and Particle Accelerator Units are partly moongoo derived and are a significant component too).

I've never fought in a null fleet fight, yet every time one happens, I watch to see what interdictors are lost en masse, and start making them in big numbers. (Yes, I have 200+ runs of each Interdictor BPC pre-invented for this very reason). I also made bank out of selling Goons meta 4 sensor disruptors at extortionate prices during the Halloween war.

Even if you have no interest in personally participating in nullsec blob warfare or even in leaving highsec, it creates opportunities you can seize.

Because not enough people voted for her?

Remember that who gets what voted cascading down to them depends on who is being discarded. Although I am pretty sure that Bam was the other person in with a chance depending on who dropped out next.

2 yankees fighting about who makes the best moonshine......LOL

почему нет голосования? я например против

Yes, there was the inevitable spreadsheet showing attendance at meetings.
