EVE General Discussion

Just thumbing through the CSM candidates and I will definitely not vote for:

1) Candidates from big blocs- they don't need my vote.
2) Male candidates with female avatars- genaral principle.
3) People from non-english speaking nations posting in English- you are already bowing to the will of CCP.
4) Canadians- what's that all aboot.
5) Unshaven avatars- I want my CSM's clean cut.

What disqualifies a CSM candidate in your eyes?

I feel like this could turn into a big game of 'Guess Who?' as to whom you did vote for.

When they try to get someone out-of-game to commit suicide, i'd say.

That, and plain old lying to your face.

Anyone named Malcanis.

1. Ability to communicate, and not like a mouthbreather.
2. Is independent enough to look at the bigger picture, not painting him/herself into a corner of personal biases and worse.
3. Mature. In attitude and manners. S/he is representing mixed company and many viewpoints. If s/he can't be diplomatic even ingame, s/he isn't going to be much working as an representative.
4. Has worked with famous people before, so their first meeting with CCP they're not a doe eyed fan.
5. Knows what's practical to work for (we all want pies in the sky, but it isn't realistic), and wise enough to know why.
6. Isn't a bought and paid for hooker (has no internal compass, will vote for what popular, or especially, what he's paid to vote upon).

A good candidate that does the job s/he is running to do, and actually capable to do it.

Anything else disqualifies.

If I wanted the tomfoolery as representatives I'd ask the congress or senate to play EvE.

I have to agree, all these things would disqualify a candidate in my eyes.

We need a French Revolution so all the bozos and their liasons can race to the guillotine.

Best election ever!

Okay gl with that.

There are three candidates that have more balanced views than the more popular ones.

There was one question on Diedra's list that I really felt to be a disqualifier if backed.

About the new CREST API and letting it update market orders from outside the game.

So the #1 safest activity to get into in this game, the one that risks absolutely the least should now be giving the most easily exploitable bot tools? ...

CCP hits issues tracking and finding bots that use the game client. How the hell do you expect them to find bots that can be run on smartphones on around to any type of computer *WITHOUT* the EVE client loaded at all?!?!?

Running bots as a market would be *THE* way things were done and I don't see why the hell we should reward the safest, most profitable portions of this community with the ability to mess with the environment, without even having to log-on.

Yeah, that one hacked me off seeing candidates in support of it. "Let's give market manipulators the easiest bots to run so they don't even have to log in the game to mess things up!".

I'd be more into requiring adjustments to market orders having to be done from a pod orbiting a station than this lame "suggestion".

A workable one would be to allow update of the skill queue. *THAT* isn't messing with the environment but this? This messes with the market and that we don't need to make any easier.
