Jita Park Speakers Corner

Listening to players, moderating disussions, compiling ideas, and sifting through bad suggestions is tedious work - but you don't need a board of advisors to do it for you. In fact, you don't even have to be elected to the CSM to roll up your sleeves and get to work. This is what I've been trying to prove with my work over the last 6 months, and much has been accomplished in terms of informing CCP as to the players wishes for Faction Warfare, and I'm very excited to see the results this summer whether or not I get elected to the councii.

Most importantly, you do understand that the CSM is an advisory council itself, right? I wouldn't keep advertising your plans to rely on advisors if I were you, voters are going to struggle with the idea of an advisor relying on other advisors to get the work done. It also leaves you wide open to becoming the star of the next "Yo Dawg" meme. Somewhere there's a Goon already working on this, its just a matter of time before we see it posted somewhere.



Well, at least you are willing to admit that are ideas you want to champion, even if you are still going to use advisors to advise you on how to advise CCP about the ideas you like. Earlier though, you accused me of only championing my own ideas instead of those of the players.

Lets just drop the pretense that personal passions shouldn't play into what each CSM member contributes during their term, ultimately every CSM member SHOULD care deeply about enough things in the game to be willing to put the work in to see that they get fixed. We both know that CSM members should care, and we both know that CSM members should listen to players as well, so this isn't worth arguing about. You need to be getting out more to the voters right now about just what it is you care about, and find a way to truly demonstrate how hard you're willing to work yourself at the job.



Now this is just rude and uncalled for. Those 20 pages contained a great deal of PLAYER ideas, sources cited, and contained a list of acknowledgements for those that contributed to its creation. It was a community project as much as it was any kind of personal manifesto, and I literally said this in a disclaimer on the first content page. To say it wasted peoples time is to disrespect the 34 pages of mostly thoughtful discussion that followed after its release, and it disrespects the hundreds of voters specifically referencing my platform document as the reason they decided to support me with their votes.



Again, if you'd read even the first page of my platform document you'd see I said almost the exact same sentence.

This is why I've said just work on being YOU, Issler Dainze, and you'll earn more votes. It's never too late to share with the voters what makes you unique, instead of repeatedly defending yourself by saying you'll do all the same things for them that the rest of us will too. Part of the fun in this campaign has been getting to know all other candidates and learning about what they enjoy and what they're passionate about. I asked these question not to attack but to honestly learn more about you, because up to this point you've insisted on holding your cards close to your chest and speaking about the issues as broadly as possible.

If advisers didn't have advisers we would be royally screwed.

Hell even in a primitive backwater like the United states of America, their advisers have advisers. Like the national security adviser has the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Yes there are times when the NDA would get in the way, but I would prefer a candidate who is ready to listen to the people at the time of the discussion like the before and after of Incarna than have someone who believes that because they got elected they ARE the will of the people. Like all the RL politicians that vote in a manner completely opposed to their constituents.

Like a Jury I would rather have one with an open mind, than a closed one.

I have only one thing to say about Hans.

I hope he gets in. He deserves it. Unlike certain goons

... but he amalgamated their collective desires into a list of specific fixes that would drastically improve the FW experience for all players involved....

Personally for CSM 8 I would like the eligibility to vote to be based on time active preferably 90 days minimum before the next election, rather than age of the character. As it stands you just have to plex up old inactive accounts just before voting day.

i still enjoy your hilarious conspiracy theories about how we are spending oodles of money to win

To roleplay Admiral Ackbar for a sec: "It's a trap!"

Please avoid the trap of freindly-fire incidents.

Issler and Hans, you guys are pretty much natural allies in that you both seek to benefit the eve community as a whole...a simple statement, perhaps, but a lot of complex ideas encapsuleerated / represented by it.

I'd like to see both Issler and Hans on the CSM.
