Simply because if you are a member of the CSM you shouldn't neccesarily expect any in game benefit or advantage as a result of that position?

Or are you saying that the existing CSM members use it to suplement their power of course? You see how complacent the existing political climate is that it has made you in fact, revealed within your expectations, to how biast or corrupt the current CSM is. What a fool.

unfourtunately the chances are hes going to be the only guy this csm I know of. Unless some of the previous CSM guys show back up.

Feeding your pubbie alliance with lul kills is not saving a station.

And to be honest, Chribba is a neutral broker. If I ever want an Aion, I know where to go. Once I jump it out of his system, he isn't obligated to defend it.

You know the sad state of EVE when?
Chribba is what Chribba is. If he is running for CSM, it's just another meta move. Who payed him to play competition?

I have a feeling Chribba values his neutrality and good name far too much to want to be a CSM. When you choose a stance in politics, a large chunk of people will blame you for all of their problems.

Also, he runs a bunch of EVE-related websites and checks the forum here every time his name is mentioned. Where would he find the time?


Yeah, I've always noticed that about him too. He never really says anything thought provoking or tries to take sides in anything. He probably cares too much about what others think and couldn't take the criticism needed if running for a position. Don't get me wrong; he's added value to the EVE community with his innovative technological solutions. But to be a CSM candidate requires a different pedigree.

If he did run, I'd certainly consider voting him just based on the trust that he engenders.

I would vote Chribba. It can hardly hurt when looking at the current CSM.

Besides Chribs truthfully laugh it off when some mindless slaves to the killboard tries to cause him grief. Chribbas assets are far beyond a Titan or some outpost; they are stuff that matters. Chribba has shown to enjoy the game on its own merits with little agenda of his own but a focus on the social aspects.

I don't know why you'd want to force someone to dedicate MORE RL effort to supporting a game.

I cannot see any advantage to Chribba to indulge himself in your lunacy - its a lose-lose situation for him.

Anyway I'm glad to see you've realised that your posts here are futile Twisted

Not even sure Chribba being involved would save the CSM in my eyes, most likely I'll not get involved in voting Sad

No

I'm saying that if you like Chribba so much why didn't you help him when faced with a genuine threat in game? There was plenty of huffing and puffing on the forums, but ultimately we took his sovereignty in 9UY without any resistance. You can blow smoke up his arse on the forums all you want. 'Oh Chribba you're so great you should run for CSM', but nothing will come of it, just like nothing came of everyone's sycophantic fanboyism during our invasion of his system, which we only did because we were bored and angry with CCP and wanted to stir up a ragtag pubbie army to fight.

Oh no! You caught me! Checkmate! I'm so silly for letting the cat out of the bag... or maybe you're just a dumb pubbie who knows nothing.

You guys are so cute with your conspiracy theories. Firstly Test doesn't even have a CSM member (White Tree left to join ESG, 4chan's alliance). Secondly Goons and Pandemic Legion are on the CSM, massive holders of Tech moons, yet the CSM still asks CCP to address the Technetium bottleneck in T2 production thereby inevitably decreasing the value of those moons. CLEARLY IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY.

Do you want to know why nullsec alliances (representing ~10% of the players in the game) dominate the CSM? Because it used to be run by highsec players, and during that time they got it into their sweet little pubbie heads to remove our jumpbridges because they were concerned about 'force projection'. CCP went with their requests. How quaint that they'd feel the need to dictate how nullsec should live while knowing anything about it. There was a large backlash from nullsec, and CCP compromised by allowing one jumpbridge per starsystem.

So ever since we realised that the CSM has the power to screw us over we've simply started paying attention to it, nothing more. There's no conspiracy, it's just by the nature of nullsec you have to be organized to live in it, which is why nullsec produces candidates and actually votes for them. Highsec dwellers don't need to be at all organized so they don't produce candidates and they don't vote. Ivy League is probably the largest highsec voting bloc in the game, besides maybe Red vs Blue's combined consentual PvP alliances. Ivy League used to hold CSM seats but now do they even have a candidate? I'm not aware of one.

In any case it's far more likely that someone living in nullsec has more experience of the game as a whole than someone who has never left highsec. I've never seen Chribba voice a serious opinion on gameplay before, it's ususaly "lol veldspar, mining lasers, I have mining titans, lololol I'm the nice friendly Emperor Publord of all Pubdom" - Just because you like him (or it's fashionable to like him) doesn't mean he wants to do it, or is even qualified to do it.

Chribba gives every indication of being a grey suit known mostly for making 'first' posts in devblog threads. I don't think I've ever seen him express an opinion on any part in Eve. If that's who highsec chooses to represent them, great, since that means he likely won't interfere too much in actual CSM business.

chribba is an established part of the game itself, and as such doesnt allow himself a public opinion on anything other than Veldspar.
