Or was it some other corp, I can't remember.

I want these people to scare ccp and remind them they're horrible people for allowing this abomination of a game to exist.
Rift is an abomination of a game. Not because it's bad, but because it brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It's WoW for the price of WoW but with less content, less class design, and poor class balancing.
Love it or hate it, you have to admit EVE Online is a very unique game. Even that alone is enough reason for CCP to be proud, but I think having your game appear in civilian newscasts around the world just as often as WoW is also pretty exceptional. I support The Mittani for CSM 7 for the whole of EVE, including mining. |

I came to this thread, determined to read more about this candidate so often described as the demon overlord of the evil goons. I really wanted to make my own opinion on the famous Mittani.
But seriously guys, pages and pages of you drooling in front of your idol from the very first page on only made me skip to the last page.
So, please Mittani, could you detail your program in a spam free place? And I mean really detailled, not just vague slogans, however promising they are. I am definately enclined to read dozens of pages of what you have to say, but please keep your fans at bay.
Regards,
Iris
Pretty much this ('definately' aside.) Alex asks for a 'mandate' without providing a platform. (unless this is his idea of a 'mandate'.) Either stand for something or step aside for someone who will.
CCP's about face came as a result of the summer of rage and the unsubscriptions. CSM VI did everything in its power to diminish the effect and magnitude of those protests by spouting CCP happytalk. Alex taking credit for CCP's about face is like the Darth Vader kid thinking he started his Dad's car.
That being said, Alex will be chair again simply as a result of being able to order his cyber-serfs around. Don't be foolish enough to give him more votes than he already has. |

to drive the point home a bit, what do you think is more useful to the devs? tossing horrible ideas at the CSM and getting feedback on how terrible they are, or putting those horrible ideas into the game and reversing them when the unsub cascade hits?

Hey hey, I saw this episode of Simpsons, we all skip voting for Mittani and Riverini gets in because we're all hung over (and still drunk) at the celebration party.

I'm actually pretty impressed with how the CSM went last year, but wanted to ask a question on the T2 BPO thing.
Do you really think they are even that relevant to industry? I mean, yes, they price out invention in large ships (command ships, recons, and most HACs) but they don't significantly affect module invention as the demand so massively outstrips the quantity the BPO owners can supply.
In terms of unfair profitability the payoff times on these is usually around 7 years these days, so they really aren't that profitable. But they do supply an investment opportunity for people that have ungodly amounts of ISK. They also supply the single most valuable items in game, which is kind of neat. A sleipnir BPO recently sold for something like 230 Billion ISK.
And its not like there aren't high end invention opportunities available in game. Jump Freighters, T2 BSs, and T2 Siege/Triage modules come to mind. And if they add more T2 ships this will only be more true.
It would just make me kind of sad to see these items disappear. I don't think the BPO lottery was a good idea, but the main damage is already done and only diminishes over time as new items appear, and frankly you won't find many industrialists that really feel these items affect their game play.
Even as someone who would never invest in one because they are so unprofitable I appreciate their existence for the uniqueness they represent. Removing them would be like when the French killed all the Unicorns, something we all feel bad about today. SUPPORT BIODIVERSITY IN THE MARKETS. |

Edit: Oh yeah, one other issue I was curious about. High Sec incursions seem to be a really big issue in terms of profitability and lack of risk.
Do you think that they are a significant problem and do you support their removal?
Removal of high-sec incursions, absolutely not. They're great content. Tweaking the payouts such that there's a better balance on the risk continuum from null/low/high, yes. That's been discussed at length in my Chairman's thread, in my sig.
Re: T2 BPOs, I actually just brought this up this weekend; I've asked for a little more regulatory clarity on T2 BPOs. I'm not a fan of them, but every election season there's howls for either their removal, conversion to bpcs, or whatever. CCP hasn't offered a formal statement in a post in S&I about what their plans - or lack thereof - are for T2 BPOs, and I'd like to see it clarified, in public, so investors and holders have more certainty about them. IE, if T2 BPOs are a safe investment forever, we should hear about it, so potential buyers and sellers aren't worried about the regulatory risk of having them wiped out.
I don't particularly /like/ T2 bpos, but the environment of uncertainty isn't good for anyone, bpo holders or anti-bpo holders.

The best T2 BPO nerf would be a change in the focus on material cost for T2 production. The ME advantage of producing from a BPO is the big advantage of the T2 BPO holder. In short: you can boost invention by nerfing Technetium
That said, the fact that margins on SKUs like HICs, for which no BPOs exist, aren't noticeably different from HACs, indicates that the greatest competition inventors face is not BPO holders, but other inventors. (Barring low-volume items which, by definition, are less relevent.) Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

If an insufferable clown like this guy didn't exist I'd have to invent him just to motivate players to vote so children like him would not be identified as the "typical" EVE player.
Time we all realized the dumbing down of a complex space sandbox game to accommodate those who actually seem better fit for a playground sandbox is not good for a game thinking adults can enjoy.
Would love to see a demographic breakdown of the high school dropouts and unemployed slackers that make up this guys voting support. The bottom of the barrel has great power when no one else bothers to vote. |
