Mittani for CSM. Long live the king of space!

First of all I would like to thank you for your current service to the players of eve via your CSM commitment. I am reading this thread on my iPhone so please forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered, as I don't feel like looking through. 28 pages of circle jerking fanbois proselytizing how wonderful you are but providing no real content to the thread. You very well may be wonderful and all it's just tedious to page through on a mobile.

What is your positions on the following items.

1. Delayed local in nullsec.
2. Fixing the broken physics engine if at all possible in relation to small ships bumping much larger ships.
3. Iteration of new capital and tech 3 ships.

Thanks

I hope I didn't miss these elsewhere in the thread, but I have three questions for you:

1) How do you feel about time dilation and the potential impact it has on CCP in regards to demotivating them in upgrading server hardware?

2) PLEX/GTC prices are too damn high. How will you leverage your influence on the CSM to bring down the price of game time paid with isk?

3) How should CCP reward veterans for their longevity in playing this game instead of punishing them via "end-game" nerfs?

Thanks for answering and good luck in your campaign!

Worthless hi-sec carebear in an NPC corp chiming in: everything that I love about EvE and hope to accomplish if I ever get time to log in and ****** PLAY this game is represented by the Mittani and Goonswarm. Votin fer ya.

Supercap nerfing is in the best interest for the CFC, and the not so nerf'ed tech isk printers of the north, please show me where neither of these changes or unchanges have not had a serious impact on his alliance/coalition.

In my personal opinion tech has been a worse isk printer than prom/dyspro alone, at least those moons were spread around eve in every region, Tech is in the northern regions alone and have provided less opportunity for other alliances to take them, up until the fall of the Northern Coalition of last year. And yet what is the current conflict over yet again? Control of the insanely valuable Tech moons of the north.

I would have thought being part of the csm you would have had this fixed over the past term, yet you fail to produce on anything that would affect GSF or the CFC because its not in your best interest. I am amused at the ammount of people who do not see this nor are willing to accept the fact that you truely are a liar and an opportunistic ****.

Please correct me where I am wrong, I am not hiding behind an alt, nor running away :)

Funny how you talk as if GSF isn't formed from an outside community where you pay to be a part of it, and most members of the GSF come from this community. I will not condone scamming of new players nor am I against it, but sadly morals is something that is lacking within the GSF, and that starts from the top.

Though I am glad you recruit many day old newbies, its easier to get spies in that way :)

the true endgame is to go to fanfest, get drunk and take a swing at some enemy diplo

This thread needs more angry members of the general public posting in it.

Let me tell you about a Mitten I know.

I first met Alex when I was still working at CCP at the Las Vegas EVE meet in 2009. After a few slideshows and lots of nerd talk, the people attending were broken up into five groups of 'devs' and given about an hour to come up with a new EVE expansion. Name, features, etc... Mittens said he didn't really want to do this or take charge of his group but, of course, he did. When it came time to present their expansion, he launched into a presentation called EVE Online: Corruption that pretty much owned. It was all about how ****** up lo-sec was and how you could do all this cool stuff to make it better and OMG METH-NAUGHTS (drug lab cap ships).

At FanFest 2009, Mittens first, he was all over the place in different panels and round tables. He was in my presentation on Game Design and it was either him or Zastrow that made the chainsaw sound effect for the new DD animation because the video I showed was silent. I remember him saying at one point, "Damnit, I just met a guy I really hate in ATLAS and he's actually pretty cool. I can't hate him now. Coming here was a mistake."

I could talk a lot about the person behind the character, but probably the most honest (and possibly damning) thing I can say is that he's not the monster he wants you to believe. Even before he was in the CSM, I watched Mittens rant about nerfing supercaps just as enthusiastically as bitching about the EVE tutorial and how lost newbies are when they join EVE. I do not agree with him on everything and I wish he would put more of a happy face on sometimes in his responsibilities as CSM Chair, but there is no denying that he has put forth an extraordinary amount of time and effort into the CSM.

TLDR - The Mittani - he's actually a nice guy.
