I promised myself I wouldn't comment in this thread. But as I watch this train wreck unfold I fear Ank might be elected and honestly, I don't think she will "play well with others" in CSM 5 if that happens. I've heard comments from CSM candidates I am confident will be elected that drive me to make these observations.
If you are thinking of voting for this person let me make my case for giving someone else your vote instead.
1. if you are voting for women, I am one of the handful of women running. So please if you just want to vote based on gender consider me, Mazzilu or Greymouse. We all share that attribute with Ank and do it without the drama. Ok, Mazz does bring some drama, but a lot of folks would say the good kind of drama! ;-) The next CSM definitely can work more effectively with the other women running.
2. Games or software engineering experience. Several of the CSM candidates are more qualified. For example I was one of the co-inventors of the programmable 3D pipeline introduced in Direct X 8. I was also part of the small team that got BillG to approve development of the X-Box. I have 30 plus years as a software engineer of which 5 were directly in the PC gaming industry and have had formal training and certification as a scrum master. I've managed large development teams in all capacities up to the director level. I currently work developing requirements specifications and driving product teams in the mobile device industry. Look into some of the other CSM candidates. There are definitely some folks running with real world software industry experience.
3. Carebear. I am a committed carebear. Ask anyone in my corporation or alliance. I want to point out I do that while still respecting folks that like the "shooting folks in ths face" part of Eve. The individual that tried to assassinate me in the Alliance PvP tourny a couple of years back ran against me in the CSM 3 elections and said if you wanted someone that had provided "years of care bear bliss" to her alliance then folks should vote for me. Again, there are some other great care bear candidates in this election.
4. I'm not running to get a job at CCP. Honestly, I think that is Ank's goal. I think the rest of the CSM candidates are doing this to make Eve better and not for their careers.
So in summary, please consider other candidates. I started out respecting Ank when I first encountered her but over the last couple of years I worry that she is too immature, random and closed minded to be effective in the CSM. I also wonder why she would run for a governing position in a game that her conversations seem to show she has such contempt for.
So, please think long and hard before supporting Ank. I think there are a number of folks that would do better by you if you elected them instead.
I encourage other candidates with similar views of Eve as those that Ank is running on to offer themselves as an alternative in this thread.
