Jita Park Speakers Corner

Having taken into consideration your highly knowledgable and deeply researched take on things I am left with no choice but take my corp and run away, I was under the impression the CFC was a massive nullsec sov holding, space conquesting, huge fleet battling war machine of a coalition. Seems I was wrong, its is merely 15000 people griefing hisec miners.

MITTENS! YOU LIED TO US ALL THIS TIME!

kthxbye.

Fixed that for you.

I cannot bring myself to vote in favor of Riverini, however I think Mitani shot himself in the foot with his stance concerning WIS to a degree.

The vast majority of people that would like to see WIS development continue emphatically do NOT wish it to detract from FIS content in a significant way.

What they would like to see is a sensible approach taken as far as Dev resource distribution, and a solid plan for the game play development.

Nobody wants to see the FIS portion of the game neglected again. Lumping them under a label that intimates they are in favor of something they are diametrically opposed to WILL alienate a large segment of the player base.

I believe this falls under one of the categories that perhaps Mitani would be better off distancing himself from, as (no offense intended) he doesn't really seem to understand what has been going on in that particular arena.

That being said, I do believe he has done a stellar job so far and has (in general) the best interests of the game as a whole firmly in mind.

There's little to be done about WiS as long as the engine for it sets your computer on fire every time more than ~2 people are on the screen.

Personally I'd like to see WiS become a viable (if small) part of the game but as it stands that's just not possible.

I don't think he shot himself in the foot TBH. I say that I want WIS in the games future but it is such a low priority that balancing work on even 1 T1 Cruiser or a simple addition to FIS content is so far ahead in priority it doesn't compare.

A lot of people say they want WIS but the amount that put any significance behind it are slim. Don't get me wrong the amount that put significance behind FW, Lo-Sec and Gal Balance were slim in the beginning and even people with a mild interest will want to see that content improve as time goes on. Something the Devs seem to be doing at a reasoned pace, something they should have been doing with the forgotten features that are now being rushed to light and re-iterated on.

But I really do doubt that not supporting WIS is going to damage The Mittani's campaign even if opposition tries to spin it as a serious issue. Work is being done and WIS which is what people want and the cry for work on it is to small currently and will lessen significantly as more content for it is rolled out which as you stated is how most people want this to run.

Maybe in the next election when a clear goal for WIS is expanded upon and some test content has been added will this become a major talking point positively or negatively.

One post accuses me of 'pretending to be an insider.' It was my reaction to listening to the debate.

As regards the above quoted post, I find it highly unlikely that the Mittani has one style of leadership as head of the Goons and then adopts a completely different style as the CSM chair. As head of the CSM he has admitted to being a "delegator" and a "communicator." He has admitted to NOT knowing about various important aspects of the game, like Incursions and Wormholes. Why should we believe that this "delegator", this "communicator", this guy who knows very little about the game but wrote the book on "Hot dropping a Brutix" ...why should we believe that as head of the Goons he's totally different??? That as Head of the Goons he's about something???
Its more likely that at Goonswarm he plays the same role that he intends to play at the CSM. A delegator, a communicator. Sitting back, watching others work, and taking the credit.

More importantly, what do the operations or operating of Goonswarm have to do with the operations or operating of the CSM???

The Mittani DID present himself as someone who knows nothing about various aspects of the game, he DID and DOES present himself as an individual gamer whose only passion is Suicide ganking and "dropping Brutix'".
That certainly doesn't make him the best or most suited for the CSM or the position of CSM-Chair.

You could get away with speculating about that before the last election. After the success of CSM6, however, it's just not true.
