Without a doubt, Eve Uni. Somebody has to train new players and I' glad it's not me.

Also, I love the uniwiki.

Black Frog Freight also.

The most important person (or people) that one cannot do without are the mostly "unknown" masses that you would consider your corp mates, friends, or in-game enemies. If they were to leave the game, whereas you can always find new people to fill those roles, those that you have a "special" bond with and have fond memories are those that would be hardest to replace while your desire to play would quickly wane.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Yeah... the one player entity we can't afford to lose.... the CASUAL GAMER.

Lose a few thousand more of those and it won't matter who the "celebs" are... the red ink at CCP will have a much, much bigger effect on the game overall than a handfull of famous players.

Actually came up at the summit. (Leeloo talked about it on Crossing Zebras, so I can mention it)

We've talked about how to remove and replace inactive members of the CSM. It'll come from CCP, with agreement from the CSM.

A slot used up by an inactive member makes the CSM less useful to CCP, so being able to remove a member who's doing /nothing/ makes the CSM, as a whole, more useful. (This doesn't cover short term inactivity)




CCP just need to replace the entire CSM 9 IMO. What have you guys done for us plebs since you have taken office besides wasting oxygen?

I can think of a few.

But only if you consider the forum as part of the game.

Nobody is irreplaceable but the friends you fight with (or against) regularly.

Seems like the Burner Missions have the frigate killing crown (by isk any way). If CCP expands them to larger ships then they will have the other categories covered as well :)

I am obviously biased.

But what would nullsec be without Providence?

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

GRRR GOONS !


beyond some authors trying to fix null, i dont even see how goons are even relevant anymore. it seems to mee, with the exception of a few publiciy stunts, gooms havent been doing much the past years. whichis sad, as they used to be such potent content generators. people dont even hate goons like they used to. hate has been replaced with apathy. which is also sad, because hate is fun to read.

then it's pointless.

the csm itself is short term, if you're only doing it for extended absences the damage has already been done by having some one inactive for so long.


Even CCP is capable of acknowledging that your average person can't dedicate 8 hours a day to talking about spaceship things.

After what you did to him I hope he's getting treatment and not playing video games.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

Renters blue donut.

We have proof.

Unlike so many other 'provi graduates' I never threw Provi under the bus when I left. It's a core foundation in EVE.

Why? Are you planning on kidnapping someone?

And they actually work very hard at being fair, sane and reasonable to all. Not an easy job, when their whole existence is based around internal members trying to kill each other around the clock.....
