Wormholes

But the total sum of inflicted nerd rage = priceless. Good job on this one =D If there was a "meta move of the year" award, I would give it to Corbexx. Totally priceless =D

Well - the problem i have with this is simply that he waited right until his reelection was announced. Change in one or two months and i'm fine with it. Make your own choices - but running with the NOHO Tag that has secured him a lot of the w-space votes (like it or not, many people voted based on the alliance ticker) and changing to CONDI the second after the election just feels wrong.

If corbexx would have changed to CONDI before the elecection, would he have been elected again without help of the CONDI ballot? I'm really not sure if he would have...I would have voted for him anyways, due to his good work in the past but he didn't wait until now solely because he couldn't make up his mind..but because he didn't want to risk his reelection..and that's why i feel a bit betrayed.

Would i have voted for him if he changed midterm or at any other timing? Yes (I voted for Endie as well but i expect at least basic honest behaviour from someone i consider for CSM)
Will i vote for corbexx again after this? No, although i dount that he'll be running a 3rd time.

I don't like the Goon leadership solely because they have to troll and metagame the **** out of everything and this is just the kind of timing that truely fits them. So...well played Goons, just the kind of stuff i expect from you.

Are you entitled to change corps/alliances - Yes
Are you entitled to change playstyle and location - Yes
Are you good at timing - No

Simply put this decision was badly timed as we are entering a period of unkown for W-space with the looming T3 rebalance, Capital rebalance, Structure changes and other smaller stuff alluded to.

Prehaps using an alt would of been better as now a lot of faith in your motives are shaken

At least he's being upfront about what?! He got called out on a very public live panel less than a few hours after the announcement that he won. NOT BEING UPFRONT is the main reason people are reacting the way they are.....

As far as your post goes, shitting on the rest of the people who live in wormholes is probably not the best way to convince people that your points have merit. Perhaps you should check yourself before you come spewing your typical bullshit.

Upfront? Hilarious. I'd be interested in hearing your definition of deceptive. Corbexx just trolled the wormhole community hard.

He will still be a good CSM. But who will he be representing?

Bombarded with mails is a part of the CSM deal. I'd like to know how joining nullsec, getting assigned a role that takes up probably 70% of a persons playtime (diplo), rectifies that issue?

I publicly chewed out one guy who ran for CSM who was a nullsecer trying to pretend to be a wormholer. I remember what I said too. "Wormholes don't need an alt, they need a main".

Now was what you did completely asinine? Yes. Less in what you did, and more in how you did it. Ultimately, you have to enjoy the game. But publicly putting on a show like you did actually harms the game, your friends, even CCP.

How?

There was a significant push to get people to vote and that there vote matters. What you did on day 1 is showed the people how worthless their vote was and damaged a lot of the work done to get people to vote. You disenfranchised people from both running and voting in CSM. You do crap like that before going to polls, not afterwards, especially if this was premeditated (which it was). You just took a dump on CCP's progress on getting people to vote, and the sad thing is that.. well you are smiling at it.

We want the game to succeed, and public stunts don't bring people into the game, they drive them away from it. You do good work, but you lost face with a good chunk of the game (besides wormholers, because now people in the game and out of the game just don't trust you). Work be damned you lost face and the trust of a lot of people. You took a sh-t on the voting process and tossed peoples voting confidence in the garbage. You hurt an entire institution because you gamed the voting system.

If there is something I'm irked at, its that. Damned where the hell you decide to go, but you don't do it like that.

I think the sentiment seems to be - why make the first act as a CSMX member elected on a 'I represent wormholers' ticket is to announce (in a CSM member capacity) your new allegiance to a Null Sec block, giving the strong impression that the CFC have 'gained' another rep on the CSM and certainly giving them a major PR stunt.

As others have mentioned if you wanted to join the CFC why not use an alt to do that? There is a strong emphasis on a CSM 'defection' from both the CFC and your own actions.

I don't know if I would be reassured if I were a wormhole player.

there are no repercussions from this if he doesn't want to run. Do you nerds really think you can do something about it? lol

suck it up and enjoy the ride

Very very ****** move. If he cant play on his main why just not keep him in NOHO. I didnt vote on him to get another Goon on csm. I wanted someone with no ties to nullsec alliances.

wtb vote of misstrust function!

It shows something about the man when he purposefully withholds such thing from his voters only to make a big show of showing them a finger.

Many wormholers are also concerned whose interests is he gonna represent when it comes to the new structures or ship rebalancing.
