This is metagaming at it's best, and you all got played so hard you've got a trail of TP sticking out the back of your pants.


LMFAO.

+1 brother.

Also. Well played corbexxx. Probably burned a lot of bridges with this ultimately hilarious change of priorities. But then again, I don't think Goons are the space cancer everyone makes them out to be.

You miss a big point, this behavior is bad for the CSM.

You cannot ask people for voting then **** on their head like that.

Sure you can. corbexxx just did. And as long as he has CFC backing, who's to say that he won't be on the CSM every year until time indefinite? There's nothing stopping them. If I were Mittens I'd do it every year just to troll W-space. Space democracy in action!

What broken-ness would that be?

That he who has the most friends and can press the most buttons wins fights/elections? That is the definition of democracy. The CSM is a popularity contest. If you want to win, logically you should make friends with the guys that have the most friends. Goons want to play the game their way, and use their power and influence to shape the galaxy around them. Just like everyone else does. And occasionally they show up in force to savage the peasants because... well it's funny.

If it weren't Goons, we'd have to invent a space boogeyman just to have someone to hate on.

Eve will always be a game of N+1. Always. It's the core of the business model. It won't change. Until CCP does something to radically alter the way large fleet battles are played on a fundamental level... EVE was, is, and always will be...N+1.

It doesn't matter how you turn it, Corbexx got bought, and he admitted to it, and he did the PR stunt. Whether as a GSF muppet or because he did it of free will, he ultimately simply gave a huge *F*** YOU* to his (wh-)voters, fully aware of what he was doing.

You like rallying for your cause behind a guy with a big fat *SOLD* sticker on his chest? I don't.

Corbexx (Full Endorsement): Of all the incumbents, it is perhaps not surprising that I’ve worked with Corbexx most. He has been a standout CSM member and a hero to the wormhole world. Unfortunately I think he was so good that it meant that no other wormhole candidate could hold a candle and without Corbexx helping to market, no second wormholer had a chance to step out of his powerful shadow. Corbexx, make us proud again, you’re a great voice for w-space.

I think this endorsement typifies the goodwill Corbexx had going into the election. Hopefully it is re-earned over the coming year.

But the highlighted line above stood out to me even before the vote. It would have been nice if Corbexx had put his weight behind a WH co-candidate if he knew he was going to be making a change.

Shame all his good work is tarnished. Hard to believe he just randomly wanted to change direction after he was sold to wh'ers as "the wh candidate" so tough not to feel deceived.

At least we can hope that he will work twice as hard (even though he already did a lot last year) to try to build up some bridges again, that he burned.

Only thing you can do is anytime he asks for any type of feedback don't provide any.

Make him an irrelevant CSM.

Corbexx had been planning this move before the CSM elections.

Despite being aware of his own intentions, Corbexx thought that it was ok to keep his intentions hidden from the WH community and secure Wormhole votes for his CSM candidacy before announcing his intentions.

Many wormhole residents voted for Corbexx based on the fact he is and would remain a wormhole resident and in trust that he would stand on the CSM as a voice for the WH community.

I would not have voted for Corbexx had I know he was planning on moving to Goons. I am not alone in this opinion and it would be naïve to suggest that Corbexx's allegiances will not change now he has moved.

Indeed his recent actions already show what regard Corbexx shows for the WH community. The same community that has put him where he is today.

It is easy draw many parallels between his choice of shirt and the way he has handled this debacle but I digress. Announcing the move like that at Fan Fest was mere peasantry and a slap in the face of his previous supporters. Bending the knee to Goonswarm the way he did. I mean come on?? Have some WH pride!! He might as well have given the Mittani a Brojob whilst he was down there.

This move has highlighted an insidious and deceitful nature. If CCP hold any regard to the legitimacy of the voting process and the CSM candidacy CCP should remove his CSM position and there should be a re-vote between the candidates that didn’t make the cut (including Corbrex). Only candidates that wasted a vote on Corbexx should be able to take part in the re-vote.

Possibly the worst effect of this is that it will make it much harder to elect any WH candidate in the future, because people will simply not bother to vote. I'm sure CCP is thrilled they will have even fewer voters...

An equal problem is that noone wants to be a wh rep with the treatment they are getting from the wh community.

The attitudes demonstrated in this thread are pretty revealing about why Corbexx decided to turn his back on you all.

I'll still be working for W space so dont worry there.


I must admit confess that if it was not for your exemplary work during the last term I would be a bit miffed and feel a bit cheated. (Which is all fine I suppose. After all, this is EVE.) As it stands now all that matters is what you do, not where you park your character(s).

Like there would be any less raging or trolling going on if say Sion or Endie had swapped to a highsec group and cut his ties with GSF after you guys put him in his seat. But what is done is done, he decided to burn his bridges to t he WH community, but we will all just have to deal with it and move on. No biggie

All communities in eve have rotten apples. Goons do aswell. However theres a difference when pointed out by someone from the outside (you) and someone from the inside (me and others). This thread is not the worst that has been said. Its all the other stuff that is the real reason.

Corbexx doesnt need anyone to defend him. His contributions to the wormhole community speaks for itself. My only hope is that we can get rid of some of the bad culture that hurts our community. We have to do that ourself as you have to contribute to your own community. Right now, goons rushing to defend corbexx and mock wormholers is hurting corbexx more than helping him ;)
