Jita Park Speakers Corner

How cute it thinks its people.

75% of the hisec characters are nullsec alts, though.

I believe most people in hisec are simply casual players, who do not feel like investing energy into null/lowsec drama or following orders from some corp bureaucracy, but simply want to shoot some internet spaceships for a few hours a week.

These casual players don't feel like wasting their time on internet game forums, usually the dens of trolls and assorted mouthbreathers, and simply don't know what is going on in the greater universe (witness the amount of people who were obliviously hauling stuff during burn Jita). People who play for 5-8 hours a week, and they make up a substantial percentage of the player base, are not going to spend an extra 2-4 hours a week keeping themselves updated through forums and blogs. They will be playing other games or doing IRL stuff.

I would be surprised if these people even know there is a CSM, much more if they had the time to form enough opinions to choose political platforms. People with that much time and interest in the game will naturally move on to low and null.

Thus the question how we give the interests of casual players a fair representation. Because we can't simply say screw them because they don't vote for a organisation they are only dimly aware of, because if the game is not enjoyable to them they will unsub. And less subs means less cash for ccp means less internet spaceships for everybody. The political system must carter to the interests and needs of small children and senile old people despite these people not voting or even fully understanding the world around them.

Affirmative action for hisec! Somebody think of the childrens!

Maybe it's because even the Highsec bears wouldn't vote for the people that choose to attempt to be that representation.

Hey dumbass Mittani was playing you as a fool. Thats what you get for believeing a Goon

Because something always is and because CCP — surprise! — didn't listen to the players who spotted this before the change even went live.

…except that he was vocal about it requiring a change before they even invaded that part of space; was vocal about it requiring a change while they lived there; and was rather happy when a change was announced. The simple fact of the matter is that everyone in the CSM has been asking for a change pretty much since before you got here (including the previous owners of the space).

Your ignorance and paranoia does not change this fact.

If you want to disprove this fact you need to cough up some pretty spectacular proof in very short order.

I think his :tinfoil: hat wasn't made from OTEC-brand technetium, but rather the lower-quality, faked reacted technetium. Surprisingly, that serves to make the government mind reading/controlling rays more effective, rather than less.

It's a funny coincidence. vOv

What it would mean to people who don't know what the CSM is?

It would mean "Hm. I don't know what that is, maybe I should read up on it and see if it's something I need concern myself about.", which should lead to "Whoa, maybe I should go vote, or I might end up being unable to ***** and moan about these CSM fellas not doing a good enough job because I couldn't be arsed to educate myself and do my part.".

Wait, no, that'd be silly.

Nah. The funny coincidence is that the tech bottleneck went live at the end of 2009. In 2010, the CSM chairman was from Veto, which as we all know were heavily into owning all the tech moo… wait what?!

There seems to be something wrong with the proposed causality chain. Odd.

And when they get "2 members of the CSM each", and they get just the same outcome as today, they'll continue harping on with the fallacious statistics of "well 75% of the eve universe is in hisec, so we should get 75% of the CSM".
