How many subs will CCP be willing to give up for this stupid idea I wonder?

How many conclusions are you willing to jump to, I wonder?


How very odd.

I did not post any of the above, apart from the 'bump' bit.

Just not my style of language at all.

If you would be kind enough to link me to where you got my 'quote' from, I will petition it.

Thank you.

Agh, failed at bbcode quotes. That's my bad. I'll edit and fix it.

James 315 is fun, but he's also a total nutter. That's a good characteristic in a highsec griefer, and sometimes a good characteristic in a blogger, but it's absolutely not something you want in a public representative.


Somebody needs to tell all the politicians this. They're like sperm, 1 in a million turns out to be an actual human being.

Personally I think James315 would make a fine despot candidate.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

James for CSM holy **** the world is ending. Seriously if you want a player on the CSM who represents high sec, that pilot should have a background of helping new players and is respected by all professions in high sec miners included. I have never seen James in the help chat channel. He hides in an NPC corp because he fears constant war decs. Why does he fear constant war decs you ask? Well he can’t defend himself and nobody will fight beside him. I think james is a goon highsec spy or he could possibly be the mittani. Pretty suspicious how his articles appeared so fast on the mittani website hmmmmmm…….

I've never seen you in the help chat channel either.

Thank you for responding.

Considering that at this time I view the CSM as little more than an extension of the CCP public relations department established primarily for the purpose of calming the masses when CCP does something they don't like, I'm not sure how over or under representation for a particular group is an issue.

Not really tinfoil hattery. It's a legitimate PR tactic. Make the customers think they're more represented or have a larger voice than they really do. Companies do it all the time. Yes CCP does at times listen to its customers in regards to game direction more often than not. But on the topic of the CSM, Paul has a point.

It is a PR tactic, but to say they are only a mouthpiece for CCP's PR department and nothing more is unfair. They are elected by the player base, and serve as the player base's mouthpiece too -- CCP doesn't control what they say in CSM blogs, interviews, etc (beyond the NDA). Someone being on the CSM also gives more weight to their complaints, which can sway player opinion, CCP opinion, and (most potently) media opinion. I doubt CCP's PR department approved the CSM making mockery of CCP by lambasting them in public during monoclegate.

tl;dr: The title.

James knows how hisec works and has written extensively on the psychological profile of hisec inhabitants, their activities, and how to improve hisec. He has also proven he is a man of action, not simply sitting behind his soapbox, but taking matters into his own hands and trying to make a change. His skill with written rhetoric, politically charged situations, keeping in touch with the community, and taking a stand for the area of Eve he lives in qualify him perfectly to serve on the CSM to advise CCP on matters pertaining to hisec space -- which the other CSM representatives so far may not have the background to actually do. James' presence on the CSM, or even his campaigning for CSM may serve as a wake-up call for hisec residents to actively participate in CSM elections.

Because of all these reasons, I unofficially nominate James 315 as a CSM candidate to represent hisec! Who is with me?

(This post is not endorsed by James, nor do I know if he is even willing to run for CSM; if/when you see this, James, please comment)

(Edited title for clarity)



**** that noise. The dude is nothing but a belligerent ass. Him as a highsec rep is like an inmate as prison warden. If the csm /ccp adopt any of his suggestions it will ensure that new subs cease and this game's population will shrink as current subs die from old age.

If you're uncomfortable with the topic of discussion requiring you to actually get informed, think, and make decisions for Eve's future, there is a report button to get the ISD to make the problem go away.
