EVE General Discussion

When's DT?

No, seriously, Highsec indifference to the CSM? Cause and Effect. Been discussed to hell and back. If you haven't taken a step back and even considered WHY then more fool you.

Aneurysm. lolz. Man. I haven't had as much fun today as I'm having right now. I can't get upset - I'm insane - besides, I have nothing to lose.

1) If you're right then highsec bombs out again and the CSM spends another year pretending they're important and we all go "duh".

2) If I'm right then I get to say. HAHAHAHAHAHA, told yaz.

Take a gander at my 2 main topics. I have deliberately placed myself on the "system does not work" and "system does work" fence - why - to prove the point - you CAN'T have it both ways and YOU, amongst many others, are proving the voracity of that very point.

And the dilution I proposed is very valid - my sig is a TLDR. Read THAT!

Your signature however isn't true which goes to show what kind of person you are. Afterall, you're probably the kind of guy that laughs maniacally at oxymorons when it isn't really that funny. You see. The last election around, I wanted to vote for Mittani and Solo Drakban created an awesome tool that allowed us to vote for the candidates we wanted to choose directly when we went to visit our forum. But hey, I won't let that deter you, child.

Your dilution idea will always come up over and over again by you because it's you. An uncreative person with a lack of good ideas. You have to remember. The CSM has to consider your ideas in order to pitch it to CCP because it's extremely doubtful they'll listen to you directly here. "Dumb idea, dumb kid, next!"

In an ideal world of EVE there are no "two different player bases" but rather a homogenous mix of alts knowledgeable in all facets of EVE.

This statement is almost a troll, I think... but I think it's also partly true.

tbh, I read this question and thought "Haven't you been READING!!!".... I went outside for a smoke, kicked the cat and made another drink. While I was doing this it made me think on how to describe (for want of a better word) my motivation.

Alliances bloc vote from a sense of loyalty to their alliance. No question. This is admirable and for truth, must be commended - as naive as it may be sometimes to an outsider.

One area I am absolutely adamant about, and very concerned about, is voter apathy in highsec. There HAS to be a reason. Laziness and self-interest MIGHT be a reason but by and large, Eve players are pretty smart so most of this declaration is trolling and being silly IMO.

So I set about looking at suggesting THE PLACE as something to be loyal to. Not a person. Not an alliance. A PLACE.

If Nullseccers are "truly" Nullseccers they'll do their absolute to get their best candidate in - for - guess what - THEIR PLACE in space. Goons don't vote for Red.Legion because Red.Legion don't represent THEIR SPACE. Think about this.

SO, strangely enough, I'm a moron for suggesting Highsec do the same - by engaging Highsec punters with A PLACE. "The alliance" cameraderie is simply not possible and this is well known, even if refuted for whatever reason.

I say bring it. THE PLACE.

What YOU call YOUR PLACE is totally your call and I do NOT seek to change that much about the CSM selection process except to make it about THE PERSON IN THE PLACE - not THE PERSON WHEREVER.

It's actually a pretty simple concept. Some are reading far too much into it.

Well, England is an Oligarchy so I am not surprised.

They tried this tactic on the USA and you got The American Revolution.

They waited until 1913, which led to recession, WW1 & WW2, the great depression and so on and so forth.

Not being political, just historical.

"I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created."

I agree.

Nothing wrong with being a moron.

Join morons. You know who you are!

Furries, animu or your crayon doodling has no place in EVE.

You shouldn't. Vote for someone who will.

Completely wrong, unfortunately.

The official CCP numbers says that 66% of CHARACTERS are in high-sec. You know as well as I do that people plant trade alts in the market hubs; there are high-sec mining alts for low / null sec players as with high-sec hauler alts, trade alts, etc. Which means you cannot directly skew and say PLAYERS.

So no, not 67% of PLAYERS. It is a meaningless number and trying to quote it as players is about as stupid as suggesting we need to separate the game into groups for CONCORD security status.
