But... But... But ineffectual forum whining is the EVE-O way! You surely can't mean that it's pointless, can you..?! ShockedSadCry

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Didn't vote? Then you voted for NulBloc

It's also worth noting that even the Goon/HBC voting list contains a couple of "hi-sec" candidates.


Mangala and Psychotic Monk aren't pro-themepark WoW in Space candidates, so they're not true hisec candidates!


Interesting... then by that arguement James 315 would not have been a Hi Sec candidate & extended further HE IS NOT THE TRUE SAVIOR OF TRUE HISEC Big smileTwisted


you needed this thread to tell you that he was a total waste of space?

For someone that likes solo/small gang pvp, there is noone to vote for.

Sum of it.

Not any independents in the bunch.

It's Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed is the Goonie leader.

I like Greene Lee though, because she outlined something very important to me -- better customer service. That's something any gamer regardless of political stripe can benefit from. Plus, insulting her ESL was enough for me to want to vote for her. International game and folks whine that her English isn't perfect for them. Snots need to be taught a lesson, big time.

I love you can tell how uninformed Ace is not by his laughable paranoia, but because he's unaware Greene Lee is a hairy, stocky Russian man's man.

Who had a year to do something about customer service but hasnt said anything about it outside his campaign ;) (love you Greene, but sry)

That's a pretty ******** hypothetical, especially when the root of it is defending you being a lazy prick that just wanted to badger someone into voting on the outside chance they'd fire you somewhere on their list :v

It's also a massive assumption of yours that the forum whining is an actual literal attempt to "kill" the CSM, rather than just the same garden variety venting anyone does about anything. It's entirely possible (and very rational) that one could reach the conclusion that the CSM is worthless, refuse to validate its existence via participation, but at the same time realize that the CSM will continue as a thing so long as CCP wants it to, players be damned.

Why did no-one tell me? Where's my cheque!?


Your industry platform has a rating so low, the WH candidates beat you on industry issues.

Greene Lee came higher than you.

THAT is when you can tell the game is a foot.

I'm aware of it, but instead of posting as s/he and him/her I just posted as is.

It's weird, I abstain from voting in real life, primarily because an honest politician is like rocking horse poo, yet I voted for some video game guys, because they know their stuff, or appear to anyway.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

in that case you have pretty much 0 right to complain about anything for the next 12 months, or however long the csm is.


Your vote in the CSM Election was anonymously registered at 06.04.2013 00:59:04.

I can now complain about everything till the next vote right?

You're either stupid or you're trolling and stupid. Which is it?


You're no Ross Perot.

So until your balls descend, please don't tell others they're trolling or stupid.

What's stupid is acting as an independent.


Well since you're actively supporting the goonswarm campaign by discouraging people to vote for other candidates, I'm going to go with stupid.

Let me know when you've internalised the revolutionary concept of judging ideas on their merits, rather than their source.


Careful, if you keep pointing out all of the flaws in his logic his fuzzy little head might explode from the stress.
