As much as it pains me to say; this guy is right.

We can and I'm sure we will. Corbexx is a kewl dude and we can access him via many means. He's pretty responsive.

He's been excluded from one WH diplo chan based on the fact it will be used - like the last one was - for catching and murdering nullbears. Amongst other things. There's not even a denial from him that he wouldn't betray the trust inherent in his presence there next time the ping goes out for a ratting carrier tackled in Deklein.

Assuming it's not just bait ofc :)

This is Eve. Trust is a rare commodity. Corbexx muddied those waters with his own actions. Childishness in this thread from some aside, I find it difficult to oppose the democratic decision made by the people that created/run that chan.

We can just mail the best WH CSM we've ever had, no?

It's not just the barring him from participating in the one channel spoken of, it's the general ****-attitude of people who are at the helm of big organizations that matter in w-space. Nobody voted those guys in, and they're doing more harm to the culture overall than any amount of Goon WH CSMs ever could. Think about that for a minute.

I'm sure corbexx will get over not being allowed in that channel. Doesn't sound much like a channel I'd enjoy being a part of either. So edgy and bitter, such elite. Cream of Anoikis right there.

corbexx has been an outstanding WH CSM during his tenures, and from my own personal perspective he's always had time for me whenever I've spoken to him about something relevant in my EVE life. This hasn't changed since his re-election. I rate corbexx highly and always have, though yes, when he did the Goon switch thing I felt that was a real douche move, but despite my instincts I kept faith in him that he'd continue to have his priorities sorted anyway and sure enough he seems to be continuing to do a great job. Probably not the best idea he ever had, but we all make the occasional dumb move. At the end of the day he is still delivering.

Don't let the haters get you down, corbexx. Those of us with half a brain and a broader vision still support you mate.

LolOops

corbexx has given wormholes serious time and attention. He's also given my personal concerns as a wormholer serious time too whenever I've spoken to him. That's a dream CSM right there, where anyone can pull him aside and have a talk to him about things wormhole related or even beyond WH's. He'll listen, and he'll usually have stuff forwarded to the relevant Devs even before you've left the convo.

That's just gold. corbexx is a great CSM and if we had some more WH reps with his attitude and approachableness we'd move some serious mountains.

So I dislike it when I see people treating him like dirt, because not only does that effect my issues that I might take to him, but it ends up effecting all of w-space as a whole.

Despite what corp he's in, he's earned my serious replies and support, just like he earned his spot on the CSM.

Still, this is about a goonswarm member not being allowed access into some sort of wormhole diplo channel (which is total bullshit because i've never been invited and i am the most diplomatic person around totes) in that regard i think it's fine that Corbexx not be allowed into it.

He can always make his own 'wh csm stuff' channel and invite all the other relevant people (but not me because i don't want to be part of everyones channels anyway, because they're stupid)

But starting this thread seems kind of melodramatic, i didn't even need to read the replies to know most of it was going to be "CSM, this, Betrayal That, blahblah my feels and stuff" . . . what was my point again. . . . . oh right. This is all stupid and everyone needs a group unbunching of their panties.

Yeah, I agree totally. But it's how things are done.

It's the crappy attitude. One that reflects a much broader problem in w-space imho.

The actual channel itself is beside the point. As I said, corbexx has always been super-approachable. I'd tell corbexx to give as good as he gets and show these guys some crappy attitude in return when they turn around sometime and come to him about something wormhole-related (because that's what they deserve), but I know corbexx has more integrity than that.

I think Iyokus is right and Dusette is right and I'm Absolutely Certain that the lack of invite to a prolapser is an oversight that will be seen to forthwith.

Leaving a thread with Erica and the word panties in it because my collar has become very tight all of a sudden.

Man the Corbexx hate is still going strong. Clearly too many wormholers are more obsessed with a ticker than actual results.

That being said if the channel in question is some kind of super sekrit hate the other people to justify our game channel, like the chatlog insinuates I can see not wanting him there. After all, they don't let just anyone into Illuminati on the Goon jabber server.

There are enough alternate means to get in contact with him that could be put into this diplo channel's MOTD. Of course if he really wanted to get a rise out of people he could try to get a channel set up on the TMC public Jabber server.

a wh diplo channel is a joke. wspace corps need to lose the mentality of 'seeing who wants to come' every time there's a fight and removing the diplo channel is a great step towards that.
wspace need corps to do less things together and more things by themselves.

There is no Bob.

And which wormhole group, exactly, would you be representing in this "wh diplo" channel? I don't see a blanket invite being handed out to other CSM members regardless of their campaign platforms.

Also pasting chatlogs on the forums is pretty low.

OK, there seem to be some misconceptions about what the channel actually is.

a) First and foremost, it is not secret, sacred or important. It is not a cabal where we would plan the takeover of the world. It isnt even a place where we would batphone and conspire against other WH groups, simply because anyone could read it, duh. I really dont see how removing this channel would stop existing bros from batphoning each other. People were bluing each other up long before it existed.

If you dont trust me or have concerns about whats happening in there, just ask your own diplos or whatever representatives you have there. If you dont have one, then just poke me or any other OP of that channel and we can get them in.

As many of you know, this is its 3rd iteration (and its getting more open over time). Its not something we would invent just now.

b) the most common content is akin to "3 ratting carriers tackled in XYZ-12", so that people can help each other kill nullbears if they cant break them on their own, provided they have nearby null exits - this wouldnt work very well if we had nullsec coalition representatives in there as well

c) the rest of the time is mostly spent by trolling and linking killmails and weird gifs

d) for me and many others, it is most usefull as a repository of up to date contacts if we need to reach out to bunch of WH groups. Organizing events such as townhalls, public roams and any other wh community shenanigans would be significantly harder and less efficient if we had to go one by one. This channel enables anyone to quickly check "is some diplo/director from corp ABC online" and get in touch with him, without spending 30 minutes researching whos their diplo and if hes even online.


Now regarding corbexx, if you actually bothered to read the log, you would see we didnt cockblock him. We merely refused to strongarm him in without consulting the diplos/directors/etc first. It isnt up to me or any other individual to decide who can be in. I repeately said so and he repeatedly ignored it, going on and on about how I hate goons or something (I dont, never did). So as noobman suggested, vote is currently in progress (thx Lam) to see what people think and then we will act accordingly.

And yes, I agree that corbexx has done great things for us during his first term. I really liked him, I still do (not as much as before tho). But in my opinion it doesnt give him a carte blanche to demand that everyone bends his knee to his wishes. The decision to publicly separate from wh community was his, not ours. The manner in which he is going about this latest gaffe also doesnt show him in an overly favorable light. I sincerely hope he doesnt flip out like this every time he doesnt get his way on CSM. If he went about it in a calm and rational manner, he would stand a good chance to get in (I would remain neutral). But after this thread, I dont know how many people will trust him with intel about CFC ratters if first thing he does is insult people and then post a convo.

I don't agree.

There's no point amalgamating the arguments of whether he's a good CSM and whether he should be in a certain channel. They are two different things. The channel is a community thing, whether it belongs to a certain clique or not and by and large the community say he doesn't belong there. That may well change, but Corbexx has some bridges to build.

I'd also disagree that he was an outstanding CSM. Sure, he was more active in the community than previous candidates and spent literally hours on teamspeak regaling people with his stories of how he'd done bigger and better things than everyone else in his dull brummie accent. In terms of what he actually achieved for a CSM was nothing more noteworthy than previous candidates. Since his re-election, he's been best known for his whining and little else.

As for nobody voting in the WH space CEO's, I'd go with that analogy if the corporations were governing institutions. They are not. They are groups of friends. People 'vote' with their membership - if they don't like it, they walk away. When people told me they'll follow me when I had nothing more than an idea and an empty corp, when people disbanded their own corporations because they wanted to fly with me and when people re-subscribed to the game to be part of it- to me that is a greater mandate than a popularity contest based on deceiving the electorate.

I'm adding a link with the rest of the relevant logs, first one is just before what corbexx posted + tiny overlap so you see where it connects. The second part from the channel.
