Why has nobody commented on how bloody deformed and ugly looking OP's character is?

And as far as this fellow is concerned, I don't see why he tries to act like a legitimate candidate. You're trying to get votes from the wrong people m8, no highsec miners will bother voting. If they're dumb enough to remain in highsec and mine instead of going to null or a wormhole, they're too dumb to make a large enough showing in the CSM elections.

Though mining is stupid period.

Hmm, The Million Miner March and Hulkaggeden 5 happening around the same time?

Could be coincidence or.....

IT'S A TRAP!

bunch of scrub alts in rookie ships boooooring.

TA on wis: "when we have a feature that is its own functional ecosystem of gameplay then hooks into the greater ecosystem of EVE as a whole, and it provides good replayability."

You could all show up in 300k HP Orca's.
Hard to gank, and proof that yer proud to be a miner.
Maybe fit a cloak, just in case?

I'm not a miner, and I don't like Issler, but I feel CCP really need to give low- and nullsec beltratting some major love. The ships are already there, exhumers, Orca, Rorq, they're all awsome tools. It just have to be valuable to mine again. I.e. as much as I'd love to gank you guys, for what it's worth, it's long overdue that miners get some love.

Lol, miner fantasies. Not one of you has the guts to pull the trigger.

I love miners. I say this because for less than 2 million isk I can pop barges worth more than 100million and the only downside is that I have to do a couple of missions to fix my sec status. A million miners in one system? Christmas has come early! \o/

Concord will have lots of triggers to pull. If we lose nothing and gankers lose anything in the long run we win.

No barges will be expected to attend. Sorry.

Pulling a completely made up guess of a number out of my ass, 90% of the game's miners don't even read these forums, since 90% of the game's miners are not actually people. On top of that you and your peers are so incredibly risk averse that the idea of slight chance of getting even your rookie ship (which is all you'll be in) ganked in Rens scares you to death. Furthermore, sitting outside the trade hub station in Rens in your rookie ship is you not mining, hence not making your wallet blink which is the only thing in this game that motivates the few human robots that do mine.

The only organization most highsec dwellers are capable of is sitting an Orca in the same belt as your small swarm of mining bots, or humping the side of a station if you're into 'heh' PvP.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

Gathering a large group of players make the point and there are efforts outside of the forums to spread the word. I expect to gain momentum to eventually have a noteworthy assembly. First gathering might not be impressive but we'll have to see in the end if the miners hear the call.

The fact you think miners only mine to make isks shows how little you understand miners.

But I am happy so many goons are so interested in the miner's plight and claim to have such a deep understanding of their motivations.

Egh,

Did you miss the bit where they're removing drone poop drops?
That's a mining boost right there.

What you should do it form some kind of well ballanced argument for what improvements you want for miners.
One that'll actually improve things for miners and not scew the game for everyone else.

I'll get you started,
A new mining ship that pulls in more ore will only lead to more ore on the market and the price will drop leaving you with the same income.

Removing mining bots will remove a large chunk of income for CCP and stick the price for ore up untill more people switch to mining, lowering the price to where it was before. The downside of this is it'll make ships more expensive in the short term which'll make PvP more expnsives.

"make mining more fun" that's like me saying "make watching paint dry more fun" the only way of doing that is be doing something different.

Mining, I know you're going to argue with this, is the lowest point in eve as far as fun\isk making goes.
You have chosen to do this, this is your choice, what do you want everyone else to do about it?
