Miners!

We are long overdue for some positive attention from CCP. We haven't seen a substantial change or improvement in Eve focused at miners for as long as I can remember. We have seen the effectiveness of mass demonstrations in gaining CCP's attention and it is time we show CCP we are a force to be reckoned with.

In order to shine the light on the miners of Eve during the CSM 7 elections I will be organizing gatherings for all miners in the major trade hubs over the course of the elections.

I am sure already folks are saying "wait, we will be ganked immediately". I am sure there will be a few of us that fall victims to the forces of evil but what I am asking is to make it not worth the cost.

Please join me for the first gathering Sunday. We will begin to gather in Rens at 18:00 Eve time. Please come in something you would not be afraid to lose. This means alts and noob ships or something you feel tanked enough to be safe. I will be setting up a chat channel to coordinate. Look for me to update this post as the weekend approaches.

I will be organizing these gatherings every weekend through the election. I encourage other miners to stage their own protests.

We will also be conducting flash mob mining ops throughout high-sec.

Miners unite!!

Miners, I urge you to think hard about who will actually support you, and read this thread here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=72311

While Ms. Dainze may paint herself as "The Miner's Friend", careful analysis will show that your best option is to vote for The Mittani, King of Space.

Suicide ganking a bunch of npc corp alts in noob ships or tanked Rohk miners in high sec should get old fast especially if our numbers get large enough.

This won't be a bunch of ice barges that would produce bear tears. Remember, the goons were the first to employ massive cheap ship blobs. Time for the miners to do the same.

So I think this will work better than you might think.

I would really love to know how you think any miner that thinks for a moment about various barge-o-geddons would vote for anyone that was ever on the ganking end of that experience.

While it is understandable that you would oppose miners voting for another candidate, the careful analysis I have posted in that thread concerning how The Mittani has every reason to improve the lot of the common miner speaks for itself.

Um, there are not enough players to meet the "million" in "million miner march" (assuming you can even convince every subscriber to join with all active accounts). XD

Lets do the math. Smart bombing BSs cost something, not to mention the sec hit. NPC corp alt noob ships seem to be free. I expect free is more scalable than "cost something" in the long run.

But please bring lots of those BSs. Don't be shy about fitting them either.

We will be bringing noob ships and Concord.

OK, you caught me... it will be closer to the ""bunch of miners march". But since none of the Million anything marches were able to really be a million I thought I could take some license. Big smile

I would be happy to lose to another candidate that actually supported the idea of improving the fun/hour of mining not just the isk/hour.

Mittens is not that candidate.

Or you could stop stamping your feet and making a noise and build a case for change.

Once the election is out of the way, petition that case for change through the elected CSMs.

The Mittani is strongly in favor of the idea of improving the lot of the common miner, both isk-wise and entertainment-wise, as part of the Miner Population Restoration Program. We must reverse the environmental degradation that has thinned the mining herds and replaced them with bots.

I've already repeatedly made a case for change and the reason I am running is I know that if the CSM 7 is basically CSM 6 with a new hat then there is no chance they would pressure CCP for anything that would improve the mining experience. They will remain focused on their previous agenda.
