1. R.I.P. V R - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
One group of hateful jerks trolls another group of hateful jerks and innocent people die. I try to have hope for the world but sometimes it isn't easy. RIP Vile Rat. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones in this tr...

I want to address this issue separately: Hans Jagerblitzen wrote: If splash screen ads are to be allowed at all, let them be free of charge, limit each candidate to one and randomize the day they can have it posted. These should not become to...

7. Sticky:The voting reform discussion - in Jita Park Speakers Corner [original thread]
A nice thing about regular polling of some kind leading up to the election is that, in addition to contributing to the drama/excitement and telling the public who's viable and who's not so viable, it is also valuable feedback to the candidates the...

8. Sticky:The voting reform discussion - in Jita Park Speakers Corner [original thread]
If you look at what drives elections in the real world, it's not really a bunch of people suddenly feeling the need to perform their civic duty. It's hype and drama. If you look at the external news coverage of Eve, for the most part it's hype an...

9. Sticky:The voting reform discussion - in Jita Park Speakers Corner [original thread]
I have to second the support for better minimum thresholds for candidates. I would argue that many of the "wasted" votes (a term I'm not entirely comfortable with but will use for convenience's sake) were given to candidates that were never really...

16. Changing CSM Votes: Standpoints of the CSM - in Jita Park Speakers Corner [original thread]
Shockingly, when receiving a response that wasn't completely dismissive from the start, discourse became much more civil.

20. Call For Discussion : CSM Voting Reform - in Jita Park Speakers Corner [original thread]
I may be wrong, but something tells me goons' response to getting shafted by the CSM and/or CCP will not be to create exciting new in-game content like Burn Jita.
