When CCP stated they may remove jump bridges from 0.0 to encourage PvP and activity, you would expect people to be happy, but you cant please everyone.
With simple changes such as jump bridge removal or supercap changes, high ranking dictators of a certain coalition have made it their ambition now to control all seats in the CSM.
Now normally I would post this in CAOD, but considering how CSM elections affect everyone and the plan is to "punish non sov holding alliance, including lowsec pirates and empire" I figured I would post it here.
All this because jump bridges might get removed
"In this election, there will be no 'democracy'." - 0.0 will be all MINE! |

Where would one get the new CSM rules or whatever they are called? Can't find a neat up-to-date .pdf anywhere.
While we're at it.. Why is Vuk Lau on his third term right now? To quote Evelopedia here http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/What_is_the_CSM#Term_Length_and_Duration_of_the_CSM
Quote: Each player council of Representatives and Alternates lasts for six months, beginning one week after the declaration of election winners. Campaigning and open voting for the next Council will begin four weeks prior to the expiration of the current CSMÆs term. Election winners will be determined before the sitting CouncilÆs term expires. No Representative or Alternate can serve more than two terms on the CSM, consecutive or otherwise. An Alternate has been considered serving a term the instant he or she attends a Council meeting in the absence of a Representative; an Alternate can be elected more than two times if that Alternate does not participates in any Council meetings.
Bolded the important part. Now while browsing through the lists of the last representatives there i noticed Vuk Lau was in the second, third, and now the fith CSM.

Edited by: iP0D on 08/02/2011 01:33:51 Jump bridges won't get removed. They are population enablers, flat out removing them is not good for the effective niche. Once CCP realises that, and I am pretty sure they already have in their discussions with the CSM 5, they will look at factors and variables related to what is commonly referred to as "f*ck jumpbridges omg wtf do not touch".
It's a topic of projection of force. And that is pretty much the scope of it. Nothing more.
As for "control" over the CSM. Heh. There is no social engineering CCP as long as there is transparancy at CCP and from the CSM towards players. When transparancy is absent, you see special interests.
CCP does what it wants either way. No matter how cool a CSM member can be with them, or how "brosefs" or "awesome". The only way to influence CCP's decisions through providing them with well argumented, metrics founded and properly communicated actions with accountability, is to really treat it as a job. In that way CSM is no different from playing EVE, some would say :P
So yes, there will be two goon candidates, one or two candidates from Morsus Mihi, there will be one or two candidates from russian backgrounds, so what. Either way, this is really a topic for Jit Park, and not something to throw around elsewhere, as it is a CSM topic.
Originally by: Mister Onyc While we're at it.. Why is Vuk Lau on his third term right now? To quote Evelopedia here
Evelopedia is not up to date, often.
CCP changed the term length, and removed the term limit, for CSM 5 and onwards.

Perhaps only consecutive counts.
Or he sold his char to his brother or something and it isn't the same person anymore officially ;)

No, when people apply they have to also provide personal info such as their name. I'm sure CCP would let their userbase know that the character running for election that had a previous post isn't the same person anymore, for the sake of those that voted for the other person previously. --- Sig removed till it's relevant again. |

Edited by: Jovan Geldon on 08/02/2011 02:29:59 If the CSM actually mattered, I might be concerned.
Still, having said that, most of the leadership of the NC are whiny, self-entitled egotists, and the south are no better. Player-owned nullsec has just turned people into elitist ****ers who think that "their way" is better than everyone else's, and anyone wanting to do anything else is a "pubbie" or "carebear" or whatever derogatory term is flavour of the month now.
Mittens can do whatever the hell he likes (kinda of the point I'm trying to make here TBH), but if you start forcing your gameplay onto others then you're straying into the bounds of "delusions of grandeur", and it might be time to step back and think about what you're doing for a while.

Players as a whole never have the welfare of the entire game in mind, which is why the CSM can only ever be advisory.

The issues that are brought to CSM and actually supported are not law.
CCP will notice this, and nothing dramatic would actually happen if one party controlled all of the council.

CSM is currently only used as a think-tank to prioritise a shortlist of minor updates designed to placate angry subscribers while CCP work on other games.
It will be many years before CCP look to the CSM for actual game ideas or fix any of the issues the CSM has been bumping for years now.

I vote for term limits and CCP can either back someone it likes and agrees with, or immediately disqualify them.
This is CCP's game, they do and have done a damn good job at what they do. Term limits though, allow the game to grow and continue to engage new players. No one wants the same old chronies calling the shots, I thought that was the point of electing CSM's

Sovereignty needs a complete overhaul, an overhaul that includes changes to POS, Outposts, System Upgrades and finally sovereignty itself. Otherwise it'll always be about massing 1 overpowered ship type.
I don't see CCP doing any real work towards 0.0, so we'll end up with more and more (s)capitals. Even if they nerf it, as the time goes by capital numbers will only increase.
Even if you "secure" all the seats, it won't ever matter, because both CCP and CSM won't have the balls to fix that is beyond broken. The jacket we're wearing is a jacket no more, its a carnival of patches made to patch the patches.
Be happy if they nerf SC within 2 years.

Disallow all people mentioned in those communications for planning to rig the election, however inconsequential it may be, and by coercion no less.

Huh? Are Incursions everywhere now? Does an Incursion prevent a by-pass from from being thrown up temporarily?
Originally by: Ai Mei Plus most 0.0 alliance leaders are hated by the majority non 0.0 eve.
You can be fairly sure that most 0.0 people hate the leaders too, but they suck it up and muddle along like with real world politicians

Actually, _your_ awful post is the worst one in the thread thus far. You denigrate without identifying the aspects with which you take issue. So, good job failposting about failposts. Next time consider pointing at yourself, because your exhibited ability to both reason and communicate are an arrogant embarrassment, though, prototypically, you don't seem to realize it.
That being said, removing jumpbridges seems like an overreaction and a bad idea because doing so removes a facet of the game with the capacity to be used in a variety of interesting, strategic ways. If there is a nerf solution to more variety in pvp, entirely removing jumpbridges may be said to go too far.
Goons and nullsec dwellers with a similar CSM agenda represent not only a substantial part of the player base, but a portion of the player base that may be said to be very actively engaged in the full measure of the game. They have every right and reason to take as much of the CSM as they can, and they will represent a large body of reasonably like-minded constituents beyond their own membership if they do. There's nothing sinister about it. If you fail to persuade enough votes against them, a reasonable majority will have spoken.

You do understand the difference between lobbying for votes and rigging an election, right? No one's attempting to tamper with the actual voting process here.

Edited by: Boris Petroshevski on 20/02/2011 03:28:57 oh noes someone might call on all the people allied with him to help get him elected so his portion of the game doesnt become worse? This sounds absolutely scandalous. Seriously even if you had all 0.0 or even all NC members its not like they would ask CCP to make 0.0 suck more... sure they might not put much effort into hisec but the extreme worry they might.. idk cheat or something is dumb especially with the fact that CSM does more towards informing us than actually making a large impact on eve.
Idk I love my dictators/overlords in 0.0.... I find most people that dont like them simply dont like working in a team to accomplish team goals as opposed to working towards their own personal agenda. In 0.0 we are blobbers not 2 man get as many kills as you can pirates. Of course if your 0.0 alliance leaders are stealing your isk you might be mad as well but few of the big power alliances do that, its mostly the fail pets.
