I did many things but I didn't lie or steal. If you are going to try and drag my name through the mud then at least get get the facts right plz. YES YOU DID YOU STOLE OUR INNOCENCE!!! We believed in the CSM as a force for good and you ruined it. You ruined... EVERYTHING!!!! SKUNK VOTE ABSTAIN Its Easy 1) Look to the left of your screen in the menu bar. 2) Locate the EVE INSIDER heading (about half way down) and open 3) Locate the CSM header (Abouyt half way down) 4) Click on "main" And from there you can go vote. ABSTAIN is at the very bottom of the page. TIME TO SHAME WITH THE ABSTAIN!!!!! (o)

The two appear to me, to be identical. But I think to CCP, clicking Abstain means, "I love the CSM, but these candidates suck". And actually abstaining means "I don't pretend care about the things CCP pretend to care about, so therefore I should have my genuine abstain disregarded in the press." Since they took the time to give us an abstain button, they must have had a reason, and I think it's so they can make the turnout figure unnaturally high by disregarding those who actually abstain. But hey if anybody else can think of a reason why they did that's slightly more plausible.... An interesting point. Previous incredibly low voter turnouts have been shrugged off by CCP and the marketing fanfare continued a pace. However, If you could imagine a future election where more people vote abstain (in the absence of a non of the above button) then actually vote for candidates, I think we would have a strong base to demand the CSM is dismantled or radically altered from its present (chose from the following) corrupt/expensive/useless/non representative/freeloading/and just plain embarrasing state. Together we can do it. Vote Abstain with your 19 accounts. SKUNK (o)
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2009.11.18 20:35:00 - [3] Originally by: KaarBaak Three things the CSM has accomplished? And I'll give you one: 1. Skill queue 2. ??? 3. ??? The CSM is a popularity contest for self-important people to win a trip to Iceland. I've read the minutes. I saw the panel at FanFest. The CSM is a waste of money that would be better spent on development. Vote abstain then with all your accounts 1) Look to the menu bar to the left of the forums 2) Look for EVE INSIDER (about half way down) - Expand the menu 3) Look for CSM tab 4) Click on main 5) Follow the on screen prompts, ABSTAIN is at the bottom of the candidate list 6) Confirm your abstain vote 7) Sleep easier at night knowing you are doing something to combat the CSM (o)

Skill queue Yes, they do like to take credit for that don't they.... They didn't think of it themselves. Nor did the weight of 8 self importance slugs get it done. Also, I clicked Abstain, just like every time before. These days, just the one account. I've put enough money in that cybertarts holiday fund. And no paying with PLEX doesn't suddenly make my financial contribution to her ego zero, that's would be just "Miner's Maths"; 'I mined it, so it's free'. Excellant.The abstain faction now has at least three votes (nearly enough to get voted in iirc lol) Though may i ask who "she" is. Are you refering to in general or to a specific woman? SKUNK (o)

Are you refering to in general or to a specific woman? SKUNK If you say the name, her ego appears, and frankly the less of it the better. Just think of the loudest, foulest wretch that besmirches all that is good about women, perhaps some gold digging tart who would like to thank you all for her free holiday. Hmmm Well the only two female CSM members that have been voted in as far as I can remember have both been embroiled in some form of scandal if the other One was embroiled in a bitter faction warfare exploting scandal (amongst other scandals) And the other (voted in on an alliance block vote) brought the CSM into disrepute by bringing "humorous" issues in front of the CSM and generally larking around and mocking the poor voters SKUNK (o)
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2009.11.20 00:16:00 - [6] Originally by: Avon Edited by: Avon on 19/11/2009 20:03:24 Democracy sucks anyway. You are in a plane and the captain and the co-pilot both fall ill and are unable to fly... There is a qualified pilot on the plane. There are several rows of drunken football fans. In a meritocracy you are going to live. In a democracy you are going to plunge to your doom whist rather rude sporting chants are slurred through the PA system as the most popular football fan looks for the cup holder. Letting everyone have an equal say is a pretty terrible idea. The qualified pilot then sterilizes the male football fans who obviously have inferior DNA and impregnates their wives. SKUNK (o)

Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2009.11.23 04:04:00 - [8] Originally by: Frug Part of the problem with these forums is that a lot of the sensible people have long since stopped posting on eveo because of the rampant stupidity of the players here. I know I sure gave up months ago. The unfortunate fallout of this is that this is the forum the devs post in. So not only do they not talk to a lot of reasonable people, but they also have to listen to you idiots. You gave up posting "months ago" because of all the idiots? A quick look at your post history shows you post on this forum every other day. SKUNK (o)
