Jita Park Speakers Corner

Has anyone on csm 6 differentiated themselves from the mittani on any low sec issue? When it comes to low sec the mittani= csm6. And when it comes to low sec mittani has been fairly straight forward in saying he had nothing to offer.

Since Mynxee was chair did anyone do anything for low sec? All of her momentum that she built for low sec and all of the work she did to try to get things going has been squandered on csm6. Hans is the person who has demonstrated he will pick up that thread and work with the low sec community just like he has with the fw community.

If anything I know about tuskers is true, then Hans should get your vote. You may not like certain particular ideas (for example I think the gcc should be 3 minutes not 10) but the overall goals like this:


are hard to refute.

Hans has researched the community and found the ideas that players want. That’s what mynxee was all about too.

I mean if hans is going to be asked to go to a csm summit and the only thing dealing with low sec is FW will be crammed in with a bunch of other “little things” he will do something about it.

Mynxee and csm 5 was pretty clearly told by ccp that they weren’t going to work on low sec or fw for 18 months. CSM5 and mynxee said well I think that is a horrible idea but eventurally determined that nothing they could do at that time would change ccp. So they just put that in the minutes and basically said good luck to the game.

Many on the csm 5 saw the game was heading down a crap path so pretty much unsubbed. The players didn’t see it so clearly although there was some uproar at those minutes. However after several crap expansions what they predicted came true. Eve languished and players unsubbed.

Now Mittani claims I am a “screecher.” Yet if we are to do some “realtalk” we will see that not only was failing to listen to csm 5 bad for the players it was bad for ccp. It was not until the situation became so dire that they had to layoff 20% of their staff worldwide before they finally realized they can’t just let eve sit.

Now just before this time Mittani was writing articles “in defense of incarna.”

Why was he defending the worst expansion ever? Politics. If he scratches ccp’s back they will play up csm and make him look good. And that happened. Look at how happy csm and ccp were with eachother early on. CSM even played damage control at the emergency summit. Look at the meetings with mittens and ccp employees on youtube trying to reassure player the game isn’t going to ****. In exchange CCP was all happy to claim csm has done all sorts of wonderful things. The circle jerk they had going on alienated allot of players from both csm and ccp.

It wasn’t until these bad decisions (that csm5 decried back in june 2010) took such a hold on ccp’s financials that no one could deny the stupidity any longer, that mittens finally admitted that ccp needs to work on EVE. When was that goonion address? Sept or October of 2011?? That’s over a year after csm 5 already called that one.

Well better late than never. But really we don’t need politicians like that. And sadly no one in csm 6 ever stepped outside of mitten’s lockstep.

We need people who like mynxee will listen to the players and if ccp chooses to ignore them will let the players know that in no uncertain terms. This is the best for the players and the best for ccp.

I’m not saying Hans has done as much for eve as mynxee has but he is a newer player, than she is, and has already demonstrated he is willing to do that sort of work – if he is given the chance.

I would just like to say this is a good post. I support what Cearain says here and I do believe that CSM 7 needs a break with the style of CSM 6. .

Oh, I'm ready. You don't spend this much time on the interwebz without seeing the worst of it. Thought it hasn't been aimed my direction yet, as the campaign grows with popular support (and it has already, rapidly) we will certainly see candidates that used to be "secure" in the race start to panic a little and go on the offensive.

It is to be expected. Just keep an eye out for when it comes, and simply realize that increased mudslinging from supporters of other campaigns is a good sign of success.

I also urge those that may be speaking on my behalf to please, please, please, keep your arguments rooted in reality. I will endeavor to do the same. If you are arguing with someone and they prove you wrong, and admit it. Don't let them make a fool of you. Fact check, post references, but don't be pulling things out of your asses. Let the other guys do that!

Thank you all for your support, I couldn't do this without all my friends here.
