Crime & Punishment

Maybe not a novel idea perhaps as I'm sure some of you may have already thought it.

But considering that the Mittani is the self acclaimed "king of grieifing" would it be respectfull of those wishes to in fact show him the ultimate demonstration of annoyance by not voting for him for CSM7?

I see more than sufficient alternative candidates that could easily continue to support nefarious activities and other criminal issues as valid aspects of gameplay. Also at the same time there are other candidates who can equally represent what seems to be the Mittani's singular area of representation of PvP. Which is interesting that he might wish to monopolise that area of EvE for himself though other candidates are showing a more active persuit towards the up coming PvP elements of the Inferno expansion and I imagine equally have a huge interest in this important area of the game.

Likewise other elements e.g. Bounty Hunting, that could be used to increase PvP and help to encourage more player interaction in ship to ship combat and promoting this as fun elements in a game designed to challenge pilots and increase risk for all concerned, is viewed to be put on the back burner by Mittens, and yet other candidates see it as an important issue. At the same time it could quite easily open up an area of revenue to mercenary minded of course. Some candidates and individuals see this development as a potential rejuvinator to low sec activity, especially moreso if it can accomodate greater pirating possibilites as a result with some of the developed features that would be equally useful to them.

I can only assume that the Mittani see's it as too much of a challenge personally and as such holds a vote of no confidence in the criminal element or their capabilties and wants to wrap them in "cotton wool" and boredom for aslong as possible.

My main point therefore being, perhaps show the ultimate respect to the Mittani by outdoing his efforts here (or lack of if you consider the absence of Hulkageddon so far to be a promise yet to be fullfilled as relevant to you) and going one level further in disrepectfulness.

tl;dr: Go for the ultimate tears, CSM Presidents tears. Vote for someone else in CSM7.

One interesting stat to look at quickly might be the level of apathy or representation Mittens has.

According to his own reported figures in the last election he got 5k+ votes, keeping things simple and being generous lets make this 6k.

According to CCP there are approx 745k active players. So assuming they are all even maxed out with 3 chars this means roughly (745k / 3) = 248k active accounts at least.

As such it means that the representation of active accounts based on the previous Mittani electorate at best is about:

(6 / 248) * 100 = 2.4 percent.

As such it is hardly a convincing figure that he does in fact unequivocally represent the player interest, far from it.

Mittani isn't the King of Grief. King of spying in really ******* neato ways and using that to disband enemy alliances, certainly. A great leader, no doubt. But really, other than a Titan scam that fell in his lap and organizing an ice interdiction (the scale of which was impressive, but which was ultimately a very simple and straightforward grief) he hasn't really done anything notable for grief.

Dudes who have been contenders for that throne at some point have been Paul Clavet (rest in peace), Darius III and, humbly and only as a runner-up, myself. There are other's, obviously, but those are the first three that jump to mind.

I was wonder wtf was wrong with OP, who hates on the King, but then I read a few lines and noticed this wasn't about Elvis.

Dude, they did a new study, overturning that one. It's 81.9% now.
