EVE General Discussion

Heard of block voting? Null alliances can strongly encourage their members to vote for the preferred candidate. Just like real life politics it has become a game of backscratching between govt and the big powers.

After election, there is no transparency.

We have no idea what CSM are saying, to whom.

There is no accountability to the EVE player base.

old school son. There always benefit a huge corporation in this game. Always bin always is. Like the real world. $$$

All those "new" stuff broke the game even more. At the end. We know what`s going to happen. Yeah we can not point any fingers.

The question is how corrupt are those CSM members and some one is leaking info or selling. Not sure what.

There is no way of knowing who is what.

For all we know, 99% of the HS candidates, could be infact NS alts.

Making matters worse, there is no transparency on their actions after election, nor oversight, or culpability.

Even an initial HS CSM, can be subverted to NS interests, post election, and again, we have no means of knowing if it happened.

Atleast you are honest.

Tell me honestly.
How many people in your life, including politicians, do you trust?

And how many in EVE?

Remember one of the Golden Rules?
"TRUST NO ONE"

That includes CSM.

If you see no candidate worthy of your vote, present yourself. At least you should be worthy of your own vote right?

It's less effort than reading through 60 candidates at least. Maybe politics in a game gives an advantage to the people who take the game the most seriously, at the cost of those more relaxed players. You could argue this is how it should be, but it creates a closed culture, an echo chamber.

Eve is an echo chamber, a safe space.

CCP are such an incredibly juvenile company. It is hard to believe that they have survived in the real world of commerce and law for as long as they have.

At the core of the failure of CCP rto shake it's reputation for bad character ios the inability of senior staff at CCP to comprehend the difference between in game role playing and the real world. Even in this thread, you will find numerous appeals to the idea that "Eve is all about scamming!", offered in defence of CCP leadership conduct.

With respect, that is about as sensible as excusing a movie director for mass murder because he is making a war film.

But the point is well made. It is a very real thing. CCP staff really cannot comprehend the difference between Eev and the real world. One pities them. It can't be easy. The real world is a big place. Eve is tiny.

It must be even worse for all the normal, adult workers at CCP. They know what goes on. They have to work with the petulant children. They know that they are second class citizens next to the protected children who destroy the firm's commercial potential for their teenager lols.

The owners will have real problems trying to sell this company, as it stands. The folks doing the due diligence (hi there!!) are going to see that the company is polluted by a lack of integrity and a real lack of maturity in the leadership. That always come from the same place: friends of the original owners. The owner can't get rid of them (might even owe them money), and doesn't want to. When the owner realizes that these "friends" are killing the enterprise, they try to sell.

Oh look! The owners of CCP are trying to sell.

Heads up: nobody wants your weird and corrupt little company as it stands. And if you cleaned house and put decent adults in charge, guess what?

You wouldn't be so keen to sell it.

Would ya?

Because it wouldn't be broken.

The only thing that fixes Eve is a structured buyout, with all the current shareholders displaced. That probably can't happen, because the problem people have cemented their rights, because, haha, they saw what was coming. A long time ago.

Still, it is fascinating stuff. Popcorn at the ready, I look forward to seeing how it all transpires.

I was going to vote for a pilot to be a new CSM member, however,
he took on himself or others of his potential officer / secretary to
remove some intellectual property I was working on for security.

So, it is not technically feasible.
