- CCP - going public with this and revealing as much as possible is a really good step. Well done!
- Finally, losing a CMS seat over just a few billion isk is really, arg, so stuuuuupid! I mean, if it were hundreds of billions, okay, maybe understandable. But not even ten bil? *groan* I think I will never understand such behaviour, it is completely unrational. Considering what you lose and what you could gain....
All in all, this is pretty well dealt with and all the open statements are very good!
Definitely, I'm pretty impressed with the open way this was dealt with and reported on. Ordinarily players have a privacy privilege extended to them when they're banned but in the case of CSMs or CCP employees I've always thought it very important to be open and transparent about it. I like the way this was handled, and it serves as a reminder that CCP takes its confidentiality agreements and internal affairs very seriously.
By the way, Gnulpie, he didn't just lose his seat on the CSM. The devblog mentions that since he broke an NDA he signed, they also banned his EVE accounts. That's got to hurt D:.

The entire concept is useless, players telling ccp ideas and concerns, doesn't that sound like the forums?

i thought so too, but then i actually showed up in iceland and realized that the CSM has a pretty clarifying effect on the usual rabble of the forums. also people tend to behave when its possible to get thrown out.

2.5 (actually 5b, he spent that much on two different characters) does not sound like a lot. However, what if they decided to rebalance the R64s and make the other minerals more valuable? Neodymium, for example, could increase in price to a mere 10% of Promethium's current value as a result of theoretical changes and a 5b investment would yield a hefty profit.

Think of the CSM as a distillery for ideas. Players on the forums have in the past contributed some great ideas that were eventually implemented. But if CCP wanted to trawl the forums and in-game avenues for ideas today, they'd need to have one or two full time employees just to collect the best ideas and write them up as proposals. With the CSM, players have a way to present ideas, discuss them among each other and develop proposals. The CSMs then act as a filtering mechanism to decide which ideas are important or promising enough to bring to the devs. So for the cost of a few flights to Iceland and a few forums, CCP will ideally get all of the best ideas from the forums and in-game as well as vital feedback from players on what they like and don't like.

Him keeping his mouth shut is probably one of the conditions for not getting perma-banned. ;)

Kudos for owning up to a move made in a moment of weakness. Not the easiest thing to do. I have to ask though (and you should ask yourself).. if you had not been caught, would you have still owned up to it? If the answer is "no" or some variant thereof.. then You should probably not run again.
not flaming, btw.

So uhm, wow!
I am definitely committed to the idea of the CSM and will gladly serve the remainder of the term, however, not if me assuming Lark's term would preclude me from serving as a full CSM should I be elected again.
Should I finish this term I would have missed the most important part of the CSM opportunities. I would not have been able to bring any of the issues I felt were important to the table before the CSM/CCP Iceland meeting and I would NOT have been in Iceland to meet the devs to discuss the important issues facing the Eve community.
I am hoping that CCP will announce that I will still be eligible to seek reelection to the CSM for an additional term as finishing Lark's term is more administrative then productive. I certainly can't be sure to be elected again but I want to know the option is still available to me.
Also CCP, emailing me so I could learn about this before you put it in a dev blog might have been nice!

P.S. CCP, if you can find a way to supply me with some nonni's lamb subs in a reasonably fresh form we could open negotionations... :-)

So thinking about the last CSM election, several candidates held their virtual lack of "character" as a plus. So some of them were elected so when it came to talk about major issues directly with the folks that can make Eve better one CSM could not participate.

Also if hes not banned i shall vote for him if he runs for CSM again as he represents 95% of EvE's poppulation.

Great job on internal audit and the communication!
Should this be classified as Larkonis's dead hooker or live boy political scandal, or neither and he will be back?

I just read that some CSM tried to made a little profit by using insider information and then stepped back.
Three things I want to say about this:
- Respect for stepping back! This is no small step considering all the work invested.
- CCP - going public with this and revealing as much as possible is a really good step. Well done!
- Finally, losing a CMS seat over just a few billion isk is really, arg, so stuuuuupid! I mean, if it were hundreds of billions, okay, maybe understandable. But not even ten bil? *groan* I think I will never understand such behaviour, it is completely unrational. Considering what you lose and what you could gain....
All in all, this is pretty well dealt with and all the open statements are very good!
Gnulpie, while i think you are a quality forum poster, and i respect your posts, this one is uberly naive.
CCP, please dont delete or edit the following. You started an open discussion, and the expression of anyones mood should be allowed without ANY restrictions.
Here goes:
That former csm guy is such a huge as.shole, its hard to find any appropriate words for it. In my opinion, he should be found in real life and hung up the highest tree.
The whole playerbase and the game benefits a HUGE lot from the CSM thing. You see it in every bigger update, how CCP REALLY care about what players want, and how they listen to their playerbase through the CSM. This brings new players in, and makes existing players even happier with the game.
Thats why this guy has done such a huge lot of damage. He broke the trust between CCP and the CSM, because of personal greed, and didnt care one second what effects this will have on the game and the community.
The effects this will probably have: CCP will trust the CSM less, and the influence the CSM has, will decrease.
This in return will lead to less effective direct communication between CCP and the playerbase.
And this is bad for those, who really care about the game and want to play it for many years to come.
I HOPE THIS S.WINE HAS ALL HIS ACCOUNTS BANNED FOREVER. F.UCK YOU, I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL FOREVER!!!!!!

Originally by: WarDecEvading NPCCorpAlt It's kiNd of a shamE to see this sOrt of thing come up, but it woulD probablY have been a better idea to not announce the exact date and aMount of stuff that he bought. CombIned with the fact that he was "stocking up", which woUld iMply it was a commodity with enough volume to be "stocked" but still of a limited-enough scope that it would become volatile and exploitable, the list of things it could be gets narrowed down a lot.
It would be kind of ironic if the speculators figured it out and bought out the entire Jita market's supply, and owners of it started hoarding it, because that would make this blog post more damaging than the actual incident.
I'm not saying I know what it is, but you've practically spelled it out, which might not have been a great move.
internal affars really have some metal, seems like they have kept the reaction very confined. to bad no one is mining for information.
