Jita Park Speakers Corner

I did, multiple times - in advance of the summits. As I pointed out in the thread, multiple times. I even brought a Joby Gorillapod to the summits so that if an additional camera was available, it could be mounted in a position that would give more complete coverage. I am sorry that the level of detail in the minutes was not acceptable to you, but I believe we did the best we could given the circumstances.


Your question presupposes that doing so would "fix" mining; at present, I have not been presented with a good argument that this is the case. When the ABC issue came up at a CSM summit, my position was that before anyone messed with minerals in WH's (or any other abundance issue), they'd better have good data that showed that it was significantly distorting the market -- ie: how much was mined, how much was exported, how much was imported (and broken down by class of wormhole).

While a case *might* be made that hi-sec "daytrippers" were distorting the market by mining in WH's that connect directly to K-space, I rather doubt that much ore is coming from indirectly connected WH's -- the logistics are just too much of a pain. But as of yet, CSM has not been shown any data that shows that there is a problem, and CCP has not indicated to us that this issue is likely to be addressed in the near future.


I had no problem with it on a gameplay level; it certainly is considered acceptable behavior in EVE. I just thought it was distasteful, akin to drowning kittens for LOLs -- not something I personally would engage in.

Also, I was fueling a POS at the time, so it cost me money.

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I won't be making a point to dredge up all the ******** things you said in the past this year. Your contributions to CSM 6 were entirely inoffensive and given the current field I'd rather have you around than some of these other weirdos.

If you promise to have a big Sissy fit because you missed your big-boy nap again, I would maybe give you my vote....

d3 can't even get his friends to give him 100 likes when they can like him AND riverini

i don't think he's much of a powerbroker

Do all the CSM's disrespect each other like this??

Very rarely in this life do people "get it right" the first time. CSM session recording has continually evolved and improved, from audio-only (CSMs using their laptops -- which we were typing on at the time, which made the quality crappy!) through video (Xhagen's minicam). For future summits, there has been serious discussion of live-streaming the meetings so that CSMs who are not present can monitor and provide feedback through skype chat.

Resource allocation issues come into play here; given limited resources, it is quite possible for people to honestly disagree about where they should be applied.

For example, if you had to choose between a second camera in the room (better coverage for minutes) and live-streaming for non-present CSMs (possibly better discussions), which would you choose?

So my answer to your question would be that I don't feel let down, but do look forward to "iteration".

+1 Trebor for CSM

You seem very much like a level-headed and decent fellow. Good luck with your campaign. +1 important spaceship like from me (Though you don't need it to qualify).

Thanks, mom!
