♥♥♥ A Loving Note from the Sky Captain for Your Heart ♥♥♥

Hello space friends!

My name is Lyris Chronicles of Narnia in the World of Tomorrow's Goonfleet dot Com, whom you may remember from the forums dot EVE Online as the Spacebook Superstar and Sky Captain of Your Heart. I am here to speak to you today about the Council of Stellar Management, and of the fine men and women empowered by You, the People, to sit on that gestalt panel.

I am a newcomer to the political arena, and those of you who read the forums may have noticed that my activity has suffered a sharp decline over the past week which coincided with the opening of the polls. This was not unintentional. Looking at the numbers and addressing them with all the honour and humility which has thus far supported my campaign, I cannot in good conscience go forward at this time. To do so would be to speak against my stated ideals; to do so would be to dilute the voting power of the public; to do so would be to be dishonest to both myself and to my constituency; to do so would be a waste of Your time, and of mine. It is for this reason, that I have no realistic chance of securing one of the winning seats, that I am announcing my unconditional surrender to and offering my endorsement of Alexander Gianturco, AKA The Mittani, AKA The King of Space, AKA the CEO and Executor of the GoonWaffe corporation of the Right Honourable GoonSwarm Federation (of Space Planets) alliance, the same being the First Among Equals in the Clusterfuck Coalition of Very Good Space Friends (in space).

This is a man whom has experience both in game and in his real life occupation as a corporate attorney in dealing with people, with politics, and with policies which affect more than just himself. He is by his nature as a legal advocate accustomed to the role of serving, exactly as I had promised to serve my own constituency if elected, the interests of not himself but of the charges under his ward; in short, my friends, he is a man who will fight for Your honour and for the honour of this great institution we call Democracy.

I invite you all to go to the polls, and to vote for The Mittani so that he may continue to serve as Chairman of the Council.

Do it for Democracy.
Do it for Friendship.

Thanks for the mittani spam in game. On four of my characters that I checked.

Have to take a look and see if you said anything bad about Trebor doing it before I comment further. But I'm pretty sure that there were plenty of little bees in there whining and crying about how wrong it was.

A desperate move some might think.

If you're not running, if you're sharing it with your friends/your own corporation, that's one thing and that's allowed. Mass mailing to everyone you see is quite another. The GM's will use their discretion when dealing with reported cases of spamming as you mention.


I bolded the part where you crossed the line. Next time let mittens do the spam himself.




Vote Issler. She's a solid, no spam, no dirty tricks candidate.

Are you sure in Lyris' case the line that's crossed for sensible posting doesn't occur at the pressing of the "New Thread" button?

Maybe for accuracy reasons CCP should attach a forum UI condition that if a member of GSF it reads "Apply BS" instead?

Instead of "signature" it reads, "generic insult of choice"?

and

for "Quote" it reads "Debunk post/Missquote", "Reply" reads "add to threadnought"?

I mean it must be hard for them to have to suffer this incorrect terminology of useage that the EvE-O forums applies. Blink

except her approach to wis development is quick and dirty

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."

Tell me more, this is a very engaging topic of CSM discussions.

Goes to show how much respect the Goonswarm actually has for the CSM, when they run a candidate just to do The Mittani's Spam.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Please film yourself when you find out the results of the election, your tears of sorrow when your beloved space barbie loving dude who pretends to be a woman online (just saying) loses horrifically will be like sweet honey.

I bolded the REAL part where you crossed the line.

I got this spam on six alts that I have not even had subscribed for months. Quite where goons got this list from I have no idea, I assume it was from mittens having access to the list of characters that have not logged in for x months, as that was discussed at CSM.
