I'd love to see this also. Mainly because I love seeing people like this live in miserable denial.

CCP would make a pop up telling people about the voting, telling people about the csm, giving links and such. An the end result would be no different, because the "high sec majority" that is SO oblivious to the CSM in this age of easy access to information is the same "high sec majority" that will just click away that pop up and keep mining/mission running lol. Of those few who did vote, they'd end up voting for null sec candidates anyways, because most high sec folk don't hold the bitter prejudices against null that the self proclaimed spokes people do.

The fact that the voters roundly and absolutely rejected you in your bid for CSM will not be solved by CCP intervention. It wasn't some conspiracy that keep you off the CSM Jenshae, it was you.



Why do I feel you are really an anchor on Fox News. I swear you just keep repeating talking points and narratives of things you have convinced yourself to be true but have little basis in reality.

At least Tippia is creative and has style.


Translation: "I have no counter to anything you're saying, so let me point out how you keep saying it, yea, that's the ticket".

Let us know when you actually have something to say, we'll talk about why it's wrong.

A vote for Remiel is a vote for getting 'bacon' added to available trade commodities on the market.

I promise I won't do anything else but that.

Oh, la-di-da. Bacon, huh? What everyone else is having isn't good enough for you? Pff. 😤

When you walk into a store, and someone asks you, "would you like to sample some protein delicacies?" And someone else asks you, "would you like to sample some bacon?" Which one is going to sound less like a steroid-infused 'health' shake? Blink

As it happens, bacon also cures moonshine hangovers. They need more than one person on the CSM you know. We're not competing here. Big smile

What?? this aint a run for a dictatorship? (BTW...EVE's best ship aint the friendship... its the dictatorship!!)


"The goat, a mean, smelly four legged creature that farts uncontrollably, much like many members of CSM, needs to be lactated with genuine care. Approach from behind with the fingers warmed gently and smelly faintly of Brut aftershave. Grip the naked udder firmly and yank downwards while screaming "Bush is a girl!". If CONCORD and Factional Police agents have not dropped in and arrested in you within thirty seconds, either a) you're doing it wrong, or b) the goat's your mother."

High Sec is far, far more divided and has no game pressure to group up the same way.

It's not particularly positive info at the moment though. Sugar's last few blogs and her AMA sounded like she was pretty down over the current state of affairs. I voted for her, both terms, amongst others and it ticks me off seeing anyone come out of that level of engagement with such obvious disappointment. I'll be damned if I sit back idly whilst people like her put that level of effort in then walk away feeling shite, and it's evident from too many competent former CSMs to ignore. Some of them are acting like they have PTSD and that's too high a price to nominate another player to pay on our behalf over a game, or on behalf of a community who don't appreciate the entity.

Plus have you even looked at the people running this time? If anyone thinks this year was a disaster, next year will be a hairpulling armageddon judging by who is running. The only one I can see worth voting for atm, and with any endorsement of note, is Steve. Who CCP might as well recruit at this point anyway. The rest either don't have a clue what the CSM is and make outrageous promises or are gibbering smackmonkeys you can pretty much guarantee will cause loads of drama. It's a cringingly bad prospect as things stand, and despite the best intentions of some of the people applying the fact that so few with any real credibility are willing to sign up should be sending a massive signal that a shake up is needed.

That said I'm only halfway through the revised white paper. There are a few bits worth considering in there. Linky.
