Jita Park Speakers Corner

I didn't mention goons specifically because its not just the goons and I'm not meaning to isolate them or single them out because its a general issue in EVE. This is in no way meant as an attack on Goons.

You can go into many systems in EVE, chat channels and fleets and experience a general level of language that isn't acceptable in the rest of society.

What can Mittani do about it? I'm not 100% sure either but then I wouldn't asking this question to him if he had stated already what his take on this is, and if he's willing to use his position as CSM Chairman to do something about it.

Well, after 16 pages of fawning over the 'great CEO' (I feel sick) maybe its time to actually ask some serious questions instead of just voting with your eyes closed.

So Mittens, great job on the last chairmanship. You really did do a great job!

So your platform is to:

- Keep internet spaceships as the focus
- Keep unconsensual pvp
- Keep not doing T2 BPO Lotteries
- Keep scamming and griefing
- Keep suicide ganking

I certainly agree with all of those pretty wholeheartedly - but this really isn't much change. This is how the game is already.

Please tell us some of the things you'd like to see changing during the next CSM term.

Secondly, although I love the visceral nature of EvE and totally agree that non-consensual pvp must remain a key part of it, I do think that it is too difficult for new starters to get into pvp.

What is your opinion on this?
Do you think EvE should have a better mechanism for getting new starters into pvp?
Or do you think that this is just self-selection at work, and those that do like it shouldn't be here anyway?

There should be a limit to how many times you get re-elected.

Do you have anything of value to add? Maybe CCP should come in here and remove more than your signature because you're not adding anything of value to this discussion. You're just coming across as some 13 year old with nothing better to do than spam forums and try to get noticed.

And I'm not sure what "asain". I don't think I want to be enlightened either.

"I didn't mention goons specifically"

Well I did and I think your question is a good one. But I honestly can't think of anything he can do other than police his own corp and alliance and lead by example. Which in my experience is needed and I hope you and everyone else get an answer to this.

But overall it is the responsibility of CCP to deal with these type of situations, perhaps they need to improve a lot. I suppose that is something the CSM could bring up when speaking with the GM's etc. To enforce policy against abuse and racism better than today.

gots my vote and all my alts votes..

Policy is to ban from local for a number of hours if certain things are said but as I stated, its more widespread and its not enforced, its easily circumvented.

In my example, when a fleet of 300 people is asked to write "N" "igger" to specifically avoid CCP's policy don't you think that is a problem? That isn't scamming, or cheating people out of ISK, that isn't any form of meta game, its not the sandbox, its not even in game 'acceptable' greifing, its just casual racism en masse.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some up tight guy who is all about political correctness but there are limits.

This is why I think its a CSM issue. Its generally accepted that in EVE you can be a racist bigot. Not an in character one (don't tell me they're in character!) but just one in general.

i think he doesnt like mitttens becuase we arent walking in stations....id like to when they fix other crap first. maybe. and the fact he hates that mittins is well liked even by enemies.

Hey Mittani,

Can't pretend that I like you much so I won't try. Knowing myself to be the anti-social bastard I am, that means little to nothing.
I do respect what you've managed to achieve both in the game and in the CSM.
As you yourself have exclaimed on a number of accasions, in those rare rational moments that you're not playing the egomanical meglamaniac, it IS the co-ordinated efforts of many people that have brought you as far as you've come.
Now that the CSM has been shown to have a bit of relavance (apearances can be decieving and no-one will ever know if this apearance is more thanx to the CSM crying out against obviously disastrous mistakes by CCP and simply predicting a course of action CCP obviously had to take or whether the CSM actually played a part in guiding those actions.) it apears a number of factions with real agendas are lobbying to become part of the process.
This is all well and good and part of politics.
What worries me is the number of 'personalities' arrising out of the ranks that seem more interested in tearing down each-others reputations then they are in providing any real input towards the future of EVE.
Given that the next CSM is unlikely to be as polarised in it's goals nor (hopefully) will it have such tremendous idiocy on the part of CCP to argue against, how do you plan to work with a group which (from observation of many currently running platforms) are ellected to the CSM with the sole purpose of being there to annoy the **** out of you ?
Whilst everyone, myself included, might get a laugh out of thinking about what the CSM would be like with Mitt and Riv forever playing who's got the biggest ego and the most influence, I hate to see the CSM become as irrelivant as it once was simply because some clever word-smiths can't help but play juvenille games against each-other rather then look at the game they SHOULD be trying to protect and guide.
I've addressed this to you Mitt because if you don't make it to CSM then something, somewhere has seriously ****** up and I'll be surprised if you don't hold the chair.
I used Riv as an example only because of the mutual animosity between your factions.
In reality I'd like to see all the potential candidates veiws on how they intend to work with their fellow CSM members....

Sincerely AT
