Jita Park Speakers Corner

Greetings Spacefriends,

Am I important? No. Do my votes necessarily matter? No. Can I stand Goonwaffe? Not in the slightest.

Do I appreciate what The Mittani did for CSM6 (and the CSM as a whole)? Absolutely.

I am not a goon, nor have I ever been one. My alt (Elisriel) is just that, a simple hauler alt. I'm a 8 year (only 2-3 active) character.

I say this for transparency and for people to realize there ARE voters out there that aren't goons, and understand what The Mittani did for EVE, and what he can continue to do. I am one of them. Yes, I was CFC (FCON) for a long time, that does not influence my decision.

For those of you crying "He is chairman because he leads the largest alliance"

It's just not true. I believe in what he has to say, and what he can do. I don't like him or his corporation of idiotic trolls, but I appreciate what he does for my Spaceships.

Not a Goon (heck, barely have the training wheels off in this game) but been following the goings-on in EVE for quite a while, FWIW the changes put in this year rekindled my interest to break down and cough up the moolah to start out in the universe, so not familiar with the cults of personality or the players beyond name recognition so that doesnt influence my decision.

Throw roses at him, or throw rocks at him (or railgun rounds, missiles, lasers, blaster bolts, cream pies, launched cows, etc.) The MIttani does get results and does get things done.

So, then.

Make Mine Mittani

If I wasn't giving Hans all my votes, Trebor, Seleene and Mittens would have had one a piece. I alternately find The Mittani funny and sometimes trollish on the forums but when it comes to the work of the CSM he is one of the members who I am sure takes it seriously and works effectively for the player base at large.

Agree with this.

I'm from the School of applied knowldege and won't be voting for Mittens.

I could have considerd him as a legitimate voting option until I spent very little time reviewing the candidacy details and some of the issues. It soon became apparently clear the arrogance and selfish idiocy that Mittens represents.

It is also largely no suprise the lengths of manipulation Mittens will go to to scramble for votes. Nor I imagine is the idea that alts posting in favour of Mittens to eek out support he needs:





There's also useful tools like vote match to help you examine all the candidates aswell as viewing opinions and issues in the forum in an informed way of course.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of nobody caring what some NPC corp forum alt thinks.

Representing something less than 2.5% of the actual playerbase.

Hardly suprsing he's desperate for votes.

Since it's clear any support for a mandate he wants is pretty weak with those figures.

Should apathy in voting turn around to the extent of voting against his platform he could easily lose his chairmanship, maybe even his seat.

Proof enough that the Phyrexian corruption is far deeper than we all knew...

I do not reject the plausability of people from outside of GSF voting for Mittens, that isn't my claim. I can't and won't explore evidence as to RL status of players and who owns what account etc. as the aspect of personal details is held in confindence by CCP and is not permitted to be posted. Nor do I have any real desire to investigate peoples personal details for EvE (it is a game after all).

My argument is simply presenting reasonable doubt based on GSF's own testimony as to the presence of corruption and manipulation through propoganda methods. As such it should not be viewed as a personal attack on you Mirrodin. Also you are perfectly entitled to vote for who you wish.



My post is merely addressing the issues surrounding your justifications as how you are supporting your voting reasons as to be important due to not being directly associated/affiliated with GSF. So as a result my argument represents a plausible viewpoint why lack of affiliation may not necessarily be judged as credible.

So how does the Mittani kool aid taste? I voted for Hans, and he offered way better kool aid than what your Mittens offers.
