So I ask the question, do you think your player organization has some responsibility for scaring CCP into barring their developers from endgame content and the alliance game?
This is once again a loaded question. Let me show you an example of a non loaded question:
"Do you think that game admins/gm's should be able to play all aspects of the game or should their gameplay be restricted?"
A. I feel that it's imperative that the people who design the game should be able to play in all aspects of that gameplay. To fix you must understand and you can't understand if you don't experience. I fully support GM's ability to play in endgame content as a player provided their accounts are monitored by CCP internal affairs folk to make sure that they aren't using their position to gain an unfair advantage as has happened in the past.
Quote:
Are you prepared to admit to me that Goon/K witchhunts against cheating devs went too far and triggered a CCP kneejerk that prevented them experiencing an ongoing and fertile relationship with aspects of the game itself?
Loaded question. I answered the important part above, which is that I do feel it's important that GM's play the game.
----
I deleted a bunch of non related stuff and meaningless rants.
If you ask real questions that have relevancy to the CSM election I'd be happy to answer them.

This is once again a loaded question. Let me show you an example of a non loaded question:
Its becoming evident that you wish your candidacy in the CSM elections to be considered entirely separate from your involvement with goonswarm Vile Rat. I can understand your motivation for this because amongst the game as a whole, goons do have a less than savoury reputation (terrible forum posters, whine-threads, local spam, dressing up in bee costumes etc etc).
But what I can't allow you to divorce yourself from is the responsibility for past actions that you yourself may or may not have encouraged or been partially responsible for.
You are standing for election with a history of involvement with an organization that I allege DID go too far with the witchhunts and DID specifically lead us to the current situation with an eve development team that lacks critical knowledge and experience with aspects of the game.
I say goonswarm IS responsible in some measure for this and I don't believe you can stand in this election on a majority support of goon votes and claim to not be involved with that past responsibility.
You are more politically adroit than your drooling accomplices in this thread I will grant. But your repeated evasion of my questons and attempt to sidestep responsibility doesn't really impress. Why should anyone cast a vote to elect a person who cannot answer a straight question and calls in the clowns from corp chat to save him from embarrassment mid-debate?
In the end lets conclude on the agreement that there are certainly many better candidates than you in this election cycle who unfortunately will not be elected because of the organized vote blocks of the NC/goon campaigns.
You can take pleasure in the fact and add it with a little relish to your history of behaviour in Eve online. I will smile and watch the capering antics of your little helpers on this thread and be assured that nothing much changes in the goonswarm.

Shush, I was talking to the organ-grinder not the monkeys.
Ah, ad hominem. You're also sounding more than a little odd if you're actually alleging that I'm taking marching orders from anybody, at all.
Anyways, let me point out some of your fallacies to you, yes? There are a few, so I'm not going in any particular order.
1. Fallacy of Begging the Question: You have made an assumption about why things are the way they are in the game, provided no actual proof, and then demanded that someone else 'admit' that your conjecture is gospel truth.
2. ****Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc and Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc: You have used, as the foundation for your assumption, the sequence or co-incidence of certain events, but provided absolutely no proof of a causal relationship. This is similar to the "When they removed school prayer from schools, society went to hell" and "the rise of rap music has mirrored the rise of inner city crime" arguments.
3. Fallacy of Bifurcation. You have crafted a situation where, rather than multiple competing influences both internal and external to CCP, there is only one possibility and the only valid ways to interact with you on the topic are to "admit" that you are completely correct, or be a dishonest nogoodnik.
4. Fallacy of Ignoring Conflicting Evidence: CCP has made changes to the end-game alliance-level content. Some of it, like Dominion, had the express purpose of aiding smaller (e.g. non-Goon) alliances. It not only failed spectacularly, but ushered in an age of megalag that dwarfed the state of play during Apocrypha and is still wildly unpopular. This suggests a reason why CCP might be less than eager to engage in similar changes without over-thinking. Likewise, CCP attempted to end the Dysprosium bottleneck. We saw how well that worked. Again, this suggests why CCP may be less than enthusiastic about making certain changes, or may take too much time. Additionally, the fact that they are working on multiple other projects, including porting WoD's engine to EVE, points to a resource sink. To say nothing of the fact that reworking sov and/or fixing the UI are massive projects and CCP may believe it's a better business decision to alter other facets of the game.
And so on. Really, you're not coming off all that well in this thread. And I'm not just talking about your anti-Goon rage. ------------------------------------------------

Well gosh I would hope every candidate wants this. Every candidate is running on their own strengths/weaknesses.

You see if we're just going to throw around personal attacks I don't see how this debate will get any further. Stop fighting fights from years ago and concentrate on coming together to fix this game please. It's clear that the immediate issues that we all face are more important than personal grudges and we should be devoting our time to focusing on how to move this game forward. I'm trying hard to extend an olive branch to you despite in game rivalry because this is going to be required of every CSM delegate should we be honored with the peoples vote. You can't go to the CSM as some guy from Goonswarm, that guy from XdeathX, that one dude from the small empire indy corp, that would be counterproductive. We are all running on the idea that we can make this game a little bit better if we run and if we can't form a cohesive unit to convey your ideas to CCP then our collective voice is weakened.
This is why I reject your attacks and will focus on issues which is what this election should be about.

I feel I would do a good job advocating on the players behalf to get this game fixed. I've made my case and feel comfortable that I can do the job if elected. You feel differently based on your in game conflict with an alliance I'm a part of and you use this viewpoint to tarnish your outlook on anything I could say. This is sad but I understand it. There are many single issue voters out there and I won't be the ideal choice for all of them.

Quote: red-faced defensive rebuttle at random.
I know that you're pretty much left only with fiction, fallacy, fear and failure here, but seriously? I pointed out, calmly and in one line, that I'm hardly following anybody's marching orders. That was in direct response to your (ahem) 'general comment'.
Then I pointed out that the substance of your argument with Vile Rat is utter garbage and should properly be ignored due to the numerous logical failings that it's built on. Rather than being random, that was in direct response to your argument. It is telling that your only response is to troll with an ad hominem. ------------------------------------------------

Pretty much agree with the OP. Must say I think large scamming ops like Dynasty are quite impressive.
Griefing and scamming noobs with copy paste contracts, nope, not impressive. Gloating over things like that: being a douche.
Being a sore loser= being a douche.
So cept for the Dynasty dude, yup, the rest of the candidates are douchebags, imho.

You should probably explain that remark little goonie. I have nothing against dragon-slayers certainly, but I do think patting oneself down for imaginary forum war accomplishments is a bit sad. (apologies if the irony went over your head initially)

I'm wondering what moist crevice Jade pulled that out from, in any case. It seems he's running from some truly odd playbook. I pointed out, and explained, several fallacies that undermine Jade's argument. His response is a series of ad hominem fallacies, trying to change the subject, etc..
Those reading along might, perhaps, think that Jade knows he's got absolutely no argument and is beaten on both facts and logic, and can only resort to some third-rate trolling and personal insults. Ya know, perhaps.

But surprise me, actually address the substance of your logical failures rather than furiously trying to handwave them away and babbling about dungeons and dragons. ------------------------------------------------

But Goon candidates (in my experience) tend to be pretty long on forum noise and froth and very short on delivery.
Goons deliver in all areas. A lot of EVE may not like Goons, however it is hard to beat them in planning and execution and player base inertia. Consider your enemy he may be an excellent voice for the players.
Originally by: Jade Constantine
But now we have a pretty damned static and boring 0.0 thats haunted by supercarriers and riddled with jump-bridges for quick logistics and you happen to be in with the current aristocracy there.
Yes the 0.0 mechanics suck. We all know this. We behave this way because we MUST play the game this way to win.
You speak of aristocracy, but I believe that the real aristocracy in this equation is CCP. A lot of very bitter vets are what make up the core of the Cluster-Thing. The CSM is our only legitimate voice and we can make our "house of reprsentatives" stronger in the face of -> CCP Aristocracy <- EVE is a funny game. We play the creators as much as any other faction.

I dont really see how a scammer is incapable of leading :S, the real reasons you shouldnt vote for Goons is because they want to destroy 0.0 and make it impossible to PvP anymore while punishing anything that ISNT NC, who really cares if they are love to brown nose and scam.
Besides goons arent even good scammers, if anything people should be flaming them for being so bad at scamming.

Which is why The Mittani has endorsed DRF candidates, a Pandemic Legion candidate and Seleene. This is similar to your lie in another thread that the DRF killed "50%" of the NC's caps. You're so obviously just about trolling the Goons that you can't even bother to put any effort into it and make it good trolling.

Assuming you're following your troll-script, your next response is to pretend that you weren't even talking to me.
Yet again, I've laid out a clear series of labeled and analyzed logical fallacies. They show why your argument fails. You have, instead, refused to answer to the failings in your argument and resorted to blatant trolling. Like I said, it's very clear why you won't address the logical failings in your argument and why you resort to trolling instead, but I'll keep giving you chances to actually stop trolling and debate the ideas that you claim to want to discuss.
So, again, in case you feel like not trolling:
