EVE General Discussion

The real question is: Which CSM candidate ISN'T lying his/her @$$ off 'cause (of course) this is politics, and simply everybody knows how that works? In an environment where it's in vogue to hate miners, I'd suggest miners don't have a snowball's chance in Hell. Your management team doesn't care about that either. Why should the CSM?

(Let management bring back sanity from the WoW refugees, not some player-populated public relations gimmick.)

As to Sabriz and boring:

I like mining, it is when I kick back, relax with the corp / fleet / alliance. When I check my EVE mails, read the forums a bit, get some work done at home.

I find mining very social.
If a stupid mini-game were introduced, I would stop mining and probably just spin my ship.

Me.
Best example here.
I have mined in all types of space, high sec, low sec, NPC null sec, worm holes and SOV null sec.

I want miners to have more ability to stand and fight. I do stand for a lot of other things too.

I'm going to run for CSM next year. Purely on a solo mining platform. All of the solo miners will vote for me. But I'll secretly be backed by CODE.

It's really the only way to out-do mittens in terms of pure meta gaming. So this is what I'm going to do.

Bonus points to me for actually spelling out my evil miner awoxing plan more than a year in advance. You've been warned, miners. Do not vote for me next year, no matter what sweet delicious ganker tears I promise. I'll be paying CODE billions of real life dollars to vote for me.

I think that Lucas Kell is the only person I'd vote for if I thought (as he does) that miners require representation.

Of course, I think the CSM is guff.

But that's just my opinion, man.

Why do people feel the need to suggest changes to mining when its fine? The whole ganker story in highsec is at its peak, why **** with that?

Mining doesnt need to be changed, the fact you can do it AFK is what the appeal is. Take that away with stupid minigames or repetitive NPCs and people will just go do something else.

Mining outside highsec needs to be buffed and miners need to stop being such pussies and accept they can be killed, but the mining itself is fine. Funny to hear nonminers talking about changes to it when no miner ive ever met has a single problem.

How I wish this were true, but you can count on my non-vote and making sure no one receives it!

I believe voting is getting that bad CCP is now giving out free stuff to encourage voting, as everyone likes free stuff.

That said, The CSM NEEDS to have people who have a wealth of experience in this game, Personaly I have done Null/Empire PvP, Mining, and a lot of the indy side which is my preferance, playing since the beginning of 2008, however I would not consider myself as CSM material due to the ammount of time and effort required for it.

I have a lot of respect for the Serious Candidates the majority of which due to the nature of the game have naturally elevated to positions of power withing the larger blocks, They have the experience which is needed even if some of that is outdated.

Hence I would prefer experienced people helping to decide the future direction and improvements to the game, Null sec is stagnating due to the current mechanics and drastically needs an overhaul to improve it, not simply for the benefit of the blocks but more for the line members themselves.

Anyone who would consider their vote as irrelevant doesn't seem to comprehend what the CSM is for, it is OUR voice of concern to CCP, sometimes it is ignored, sometimes small nuggets of gold can be passed over to improve OUR experience of the game.

Ignore all the propoganda rubbish and make your own decision of what you want, it may make a differance, to abstain from voting does nothing to help your form of playstyle get improved.

You can resolve this apparent dilemma by voting for people who want the same things you do.

Shuttles, Ma. We get cool CSM shuttles..

Don't get me wrong, I did. It's just that if you really want to be a driving force, however minute it may be, only voting isn't enough.
