I have decided to announce my candidacy for the Fourth Council of Stellar Management.
My campaign platform,
ôKeep Carebears Crying and Dyingö,
is something every C&P poster and reader (that is worth a damn) should be able to get behind. While I don't claim to be the best at griefing carebears into oblivion, I am about as dedicated to the task as it is possible to be, and any investigation into my EvE background will reveal a record that speaks for itself.
My motivation for taking this stance is not merely based on simple malice or an underlying personality disorder; it is based on the knowledge of what can happen to a great game when the voices of carebears go unopposed.
My first MMO experience was with Star Wars Galaxies; at one time, that game was a complex sandbox-style game, similar to EvE in that it had a player-driven economy, total freedom of movement, non-instanced PvE content that forced players to compete, and PvP with consequences that included permanent item destruction and skill loss. However, carebears were the loudest voices in the player community, and the company managing the game decided to institute a devastating series of changes in order to make the game as appealing as possible to who they (mistakenly) saw as their core player base. Today, that game is a simplified, crappy WoW clone, and only last month, the company managing it was forced to shut down half its servers.
While CCP has not handed the reins of EvE over to mission runners, miners, and station ship-spinners, there have been a series of game mechanic changes designed to protect those who like to pretend EvE is a one-player game (buffs to CONCORD, for example). While the proposed sovereignty changes in the upcoming Dominion expansion are being well-received by the Nullsec PvPer community, it should be noted that the changes are in fact adding structure to an area of the game where structure was once minimal. Are changes that make control of space dependent on carebear activities instead of brute force wielded by PvPers wise? Changes like these need to be guided by members of the player community dedicated to preserving the sandbox nature of EvE.
I believe that EvE's greatness comes not because of carebears, but at the expense of carebears. It is moments like THIS and memories LIKE THESE that make EvE great.
If elected to the 4th CSM, I will work to maintain lawlessness and a lack of structure in EvE. I will work to make sure even high security space remains as dangerous as possible.
I will do everything I can to make sure carebears keep crying and dying.

Smugness and gleeful braying about carebear tears gets on my ****. Anyone going for the CSM should be a bit more balanced in their opinions IMHO.

Did Rells' thread really have that much of an impact on you?
Although I honestly don't know what the big deal is with these carebear whines, I'll vote for you anyway...

While I don't particularly agree with the OP's political platform (and yes being a carebear myself obviously colours my perspective slightly, just as being a PVPer colours his  ), the two screenshots he posted are 100% WIN! |

Logit, you make me laugh, keep posting.. However, Lark will be the only person I ever vote for again as CSM. If he doesn't run then no one gets my votes. (Please run again Lark)

Quote:
investigation into my EvE background
Based on your Eve background, what experience do you have in Low sec or Nullsec?
ALL your fights took part in Sinq Laison, in 0.9 Systems. I randomly checked 15 ships you killed, all of them were mission fit. You can duel and/or hustle people into attacking you. I honestly don't see how you are representing anyone in particular except people who lure pilots into a trap for an easy kill (pvp fit vs mission fit? come on.)
Quote:
those who like to pretend EvE is a one-player game
I'm not playing your version of Eve where player interaction is mandated in any way, shape or form. further more, judging by roughly 20 random checks, about 75% of your fights are done solo with the help of NPC pirates, as well...you pick easy targets piloted by humans, I pick easy targets piloted by a script. What's the difference?
Quote:
need to be guided by members of the player community dedicated to preserving
Why would I vote for someone who wants to preserve? I want someone who wants to bring in new ideas, who wants change, who listens to the players and forwards their requests.
Not someone whose idea of Eve is the abolishment of Concord to kill even more pilots that are no challenge at all to you.

For some of you this is TL;DR, the picture version is in the works with Disney...
TO THE OP: No, and never speak of it again.
The non stop constant killing of carebears actually wrecks the game as they no longer want to undock.. or sell me things for cheap... it increases my overhead and that is not a good thing.
I think your parents need to set you down.. and tell you where baby ships come from.
Personally i like things that shoot back at me... you remind me of piebears.
Also never ever say that SWG was EVER a sandbox.. it was limited in both scope and mind when it was designed and the patchs and expansions continued that trend.
The over use of "sandbox" by others, when in the same sentence, to mention one part of the entire game play styles that are out there, really strike a nerve with me.
You want to blow up all the carebears and mission runners.. you want to have non stop action and pvp.. FPS ==That way==>.
You as a CSM would totally go in the opposite direction of "sandbox" and limit the nature of the game, you would effectivly turn the game into another SWG. There is no perfect solution out there, but CONCORD is the control for others who enjoy a more laid back part of the game, to afford that.. however they are really not out of danger, are they?
You just want to be as "protected and lazy" as some mission runners and carebears. Just because you don't want to listen to the mind numbing sounds of a mining laser.. or have the attention span to follow complex story arcs, doesn't mean the game needs to be tweaked for just your pvp play style.. join the militia.
BTW SWG lost its complexity when it went with cookie cutter classes.. the game although in a state of perma beta.. was far more better when it was released(minus the billions of bugs) than it turned into because ppl wanted things simpler and easier to do it their way.. GTFO my EVE.

I have detected four kinds of posters in this thread:
1. Those who have never undocked with a warp disruptor fit to their ship
2. Larkonis
3. Jealous people
4. Lana
If your comments and feedback are any indication, I am headed towards a glorious victory!
Also, I thought I would list more reasons why I should be chosen to represent the EvE community on the 4th CSM:
-I hide in a noobcorp in order to prevent the 300 carebears I have destroyed from retaliating
-I sometimes do not honor ransoms, thereby "ruining it for everyone else"
-I favor liberalization of Great Britain's immigration laws (you're welcome, Larkonis)
-I am not a fruitbag from Great Britain
Vote Logit Probit!
KEEP CAREBEARS CRYING AND DYING!

I was almost going to vote for you because I like the name; but, I need someone to build the ships I lose while drunk or exhibiting my usual lack of pvp ability. If they all emorage quit... Also, I need the occasional kill to pay for the stuff I am too lazy to work for. Doesn't work yet as a fiscal solution, but I can dream... in the interim, more carebears = more targets = happy panda. Therefore I shall pass.

Not force carebears to become pvpers. The most part I like about EVE is you are free and choose to do anything you want at your will unless it doesnot violate against EULA(End User License Agreement). Imagine if CONCORDS were out of business in just one single day. Think and what possible outcome would appear as the result of that. I am the carebear myself; however, I encourage others to enjoy playing EVE as a pirate. So, voting on this particular issue is "NO".
