With sensible and competent people on the CSM (which we've had), and CCP using that resource correctly, the CSM is a valuable asset to CCP, helping them bring us a better game.

Preface: In before an ISD, usually Ezwal (no coincidence that when said aloud phonetically, it says "Easy Wall", as easy to wall off comments that don't match the narrative), censors a comment by an actual CCP employee. Oh goons, do you have some kind of hierarchy of posting laws, something along the lines of Asimov's Laws of Robotics?

Saw this post before I left for the pub, but thought I would ruminate with a few beers before commenting.

So a few things, before the censors are notified and sweep in, not that anyone is reading this thread but the cartel propagandists tasked to keep the message on point.

1. This dev blog, typically considered an important document, comes out, what, on the Easter long weekend, about 36 hours ago? So far, 24 posts, the vast majority by CSM, CCP dev's, or null sec cartel shills. How long has the CSM elections been open? And just now, just a few scant days before the election , we have a post, on the long weekend, of a dev proposing all vote. BTW, just logged in. Is there some ind of link on the log on screen directing players to ANY CSM related link? Of course not.

When you have dev's implying "if you don't vote high sec, it your own fault that we cater exclusively to the, and I quote, "null security cartels", yet ZERO encouragement by CCP, until this extremely well-read blog ( I wonder if the Vogon's are your model when it comes to disseminating information?), anyone with half a brain sees what CCP is actually encouraging in the way of voting and the jusification of handing the game to the failed lawyer et all (BTW , ISD, when you come to censor that part, read his own LinkedIn biography first).

2. Gotta love the arrogance, which comes with the knowledge of total impunity, to insult a dev. (It is an insult, when a goon equates a dev to me. From a goon's perspective, that is a huge slur.)

3. Looking forward to the next dev blogs, where we see how much more of high sec is chipped away. The cartels handed themselves about a 20% advantage in refining efficiency over high sec a few weeks ago. I expect the same 20%, maybe 30%, in manufacturing efficiency, when all the the dev blogs are released and assimilated over the coming weeks.

4. goons and their lackeys are smug as hell right now over these attacks on high sec and the casual player. I am sure they were all high-fiving each other at Iceland and over Skype.

Hey, laugh it up. Enjoy what you have sown. Because the subscription rate lags the game changes by at least 6 months, since most of the new players pay by credit card. We already see the PCU getting slammed. But I am sure that is
because of the spring weather and ESO release, and nothing to do with how the cartels have completely stagnated null. Plus, the ripple effects are their base and utterly rich and bored, are now griefing everywhere out of boredom.

So 6 months from now, or 12 months from now, when the sub base is down even more, this hammering of high sec will be forgotten, and high sec will somehow be blamed for the drop in subs. But that's fine. Someday, when CCP is being sold, people line me will say, "Yes, we told you so". We of course will be muted and drowned out.

But hey CCP, good luck with the CSM. I am positive that you will get precisely the CSM that you are looking for.
And god help the enti

It's interesting that I think only CCP Ytterbium mentioned the 'null-centric' bias of the CSM.

I have placed my two votes for corebloodbrothers of Volition Cult as even though he is nullsec based he makes the point that there should be more democracy within CSM decision making.

I did consider voting for DNSBlack as he is good bloke but I do not agree with their current actions in DUST 514 so I didn't.

Thought for the day:

" Just because it is possible to do something doesn't mean you should necessarily do it. "

Implies the sub base is down in the first place. My understanding is that Eve has experienced yearly growth - do you have figures to the contrary?

Also, your post was weapons grade tinfoil. Post before alcohol next time. :)

This is Dinsdale we're talking about here, it isnt possible to have more tinfoil than he does and he'll never be happy with anything less than being told everything hes ever said is right, which runs into an unfortunate reality based issue in that it isn't.

I honestly wish people like him would **** off and keep ******* off until they ****** off all the way around the world and got back to where they started, at which point they can **** off again.

On a slightly more relevant note I've felt decently represented since around CSM 6, before that it really looked like they were still working the kinks out of the system and making sure CCP knew how to properly use what they had created. Hopefully things will carry on this way into CSM 9 and beyond.

Why would you not use the launcher? The launcher lets you switch characters on an account without having to re-enter your credentials. It's very useful.

unsuprisingly when you deliberately bypass the system CCP put in to show you things like CSM ELECTIONS TODAY VOTE NOW then you don't see those things

sounds like you've got only yourself to blame

if ccp mailed things to everybody's email saying to vote i'm sure you'd be posting I DONT USE EMAIL SHEESH WHY DIDN'T YOU SEND A TELEGRAPH

The Eve Launcher is obviously a Goon conspiracy.

Like every other MMO company out there they count every active subscription, it doesn't matter if it's an alt-account.
