Jita Park Speakers Corner

What are you smoking CSM6 had the Incarna riots & the post fanfest resignation of its CSM Chair.
CCP then proceded to boot him from CSM7.
If that is disaster free the December 2005 tsunami was a kiddie pool splash wave
Got any more lipstick to put on those pigs Tippia?

What had the Incarna riots to do with CSM6?

Well the PR clean-up included CSM 6.

…and again, the riots were caused by CSM5's inability to get the message across to CCP. CSM6 concluded its business by appearing at fanfest and CSM7 was formed… and then Mittanigate happened.

In fact, if you remember, the timing of that whole event rather made it seem like as more of a political move to nullify some 10k votes because those outraged by what he actually said got mad when he said it, whereas the vast majority got mad when he voting results were announced. Either way, as with Ankh, it as not really a result of the CSM but of the person. If you're going for the “disband CSM” angle, you rather need to separate the two.

As for lipstick… here's the thing that separates Ankh and Mittens: Ankh did not actually represent highsec. She was trying to make it (and the game as a whole) much much worse out of some horribly skewed and narrow-minded view of the game; Mittens argued for issues that went against his personal interests but were good for the game. As such, Mittens was a better highsec rep than Ankh ever managed to be, and that's what actually matters.

Oh, and…The 2005 tsunami was indeed a kiddie pool splash wave. The 2004 one was pretty bad, though and unlike the 2005 one, gained a bit of attention across the world…

Malcanis for CSM8 highsec rep. Funny how that only reinforces the point, but I suppose that kind of was the point…

The difference between a fireman and an arsonist may seem small...

No. I'm doing two things… i suppose the complexity of it might be tripping you up.

For one, I am separating cause and consequence. The Jita riots were a result of the inaction of CSM4 and 5 — again, the 5s kind of tried, but they lacked agency — and CSM6 came along to clean it up, which they did rather well. We'll see what happens with Dust — it can turn out to be the thing that sinks CSM6 and 7 once the dust clears (hah!)…

For another, I'm separating person and group. I could flatly dismiss CSMs 1, 2 and 5 as absolute disasters due to Ankh's presence and eventual blow-up, but I prefer not to. Instead, I look at the output of those earlier councils (none or poor), which can then be compared with the output of CSM6 and (in half a year or so) CSM7, and I separate this from the warped and unrepresentative world-view presented by the “highsec candidate”, which in turn can be compared to the representativeness of other candidates.

You missed the super war dec mechanic.

People in hi-sec deserves good content, but all they ever whine about is pirates and losing 10b isk space pinatas while being afk on a gate...

Null needs to be buffed and fixed far more urgently than you "need" your new content.

Your stawmen like the scarecrow in the Wizard of OZ just has no brains
Keep sweepinging those elephants under the rug & no one will notice the large lump Tippia: the appearance of extreme imbalances of any region/player grounp in the CSM, moon goo bottleneck concentrated in one region, or the current HI SECNULL SEC mineral imbalance, again just the appearances are going to cuase more trouble further down the line adding to the fundamental issues further. It has to do with fairness and eventhough like CCP Soundwave said Eve shouldn't be fair damn the these are 900 pound gorrilas.
