How do you feel about 'roleplaying' that glorifies slavery, racism, and religious intolerance?

I feel sick.


You know nothing about me. You think these guys are roleplaying?! They are licking a** and you know it.

I did, yes.


Well, modesty was never a requirement, so fair enough.

Well, before CSM7 takes office in April most of the work on the next expansion is likely to be done. Soundwave has mentioned in blogs/interviews that this will include a wardec/crimewatch revamp, as well as work on FW.

Most of my position discussion can be found in the Chairman's Office thread. With many of the sucking chest wounds patched with Crucible (DRINK), I'm now pushing for the infamous Modular POS proposal, the rebalancing of risk/reward in null, EAS ships being able to impact ewar immune ships, more iterative balance of 'forgotten' hulls, etc. A whole batch of things that the CSM pushed for are in the pipeline but not implemented yet, as well, such as new Rookie Ship models. These are not controversial positions; most of the white-hot controversy surrounded supercapital rebalancing a few months back.


True that much of your opinions are in that thread, nice of you to restate them here though were more people might read them. Thanks for that.

It's actually very easy to get into PvP. We have pilots killing inside of three hours of installing the trial. A lot of people who 'want' to PvP don't actually want to - they make a bunch of self-imposed barriers to themselves actually doing it, then blame other people/the system for their lack of courage. There's newbie organizations that teach PvP outside of Goonswarm and TEST, too - Agony Unleashed, Eve Uni, etc.

Loss aversion is a powerful instinct. Most 'aspirational pvpers' want things handed to them on a platter; EVE PvP is difficult and if you're not willing to work to seek it out, it's easier to bleat excuses.


Here's where we disagree. It really is NOT easy to get into pvp in this game. It takes many people years.

Yes, Goons have pilots killing inside three hours. They have an amazing support network, community, reimbursement programme, etc. This is atypical.

I'm not staying that I want pvp to be easier, I just think that the game could do a much better job of making the learning curve a bit less vertical.

To be fair, the same could be said of just about every aspect of the New Player Experience, or the game itself. The good news is that CSM7 will likely have a bunch of NPE-focused people with large newbie constituencies - myself, Dovinian, and Kelduum of Eve-Uni at the bare minimum.

I might not like your alliance, but you made a damn good CSM chair. I'm not sure you'll actually have my first vote (Hans needs it for FW), but regardless, rock on!

I am a fairly casual player who, before CSM6, didn't pay attention to what the CSM was, let alone who the Members were. The strongest point in The Mittani's re-election campaign is the presence he has created for the Council and voice he has given the players. In this last year, knowing who the Members were and how active and adamant they were in progress and change for EVE was very accessible information for the casual and the hardcore player. This is how it should be: a group of people dedicating their time to speak for the players; and, the players knowing that they are being spoken for. This is what has sold me in casting my vote for The Mittani's re-election.

There have been great changes to the game thus far; and, more to come I'm sure.

On a scale of 1-10 I put your shoddy sandbagger work as csm at a strong 3 the only thing you should be re-elected to do is clean the grease traps again at the Burger King you manage :)

Its always sad hearing how mom and pop burger shops always get put out of business, by the uber Burger King and McD's alliances.

Well, there was Geminate before that, too. Not that Brick/Majesta/Rage didn't represent the worst of the old NC, but they didn't really stand out for much else.

Others work? Like your dear leader Darius III? Oh wait, he's done nothing. I wonder who that could be...?

As chairman, how do you feel about the prospect of working (and potentially, socialising) with an actual ...uh... "racial realist" and fan of David Duke?
