Ankh - whats your views on returning to days gone by where participation by CCP volunteers/employees in the game occurred?
IE where Sarparti Serpentis actually was flying around in that stolen ship through tribute piloted by a person, or when those Dread Guristas Dreads attacked those POS's in the North etc
These events were a nice distraction and im sure events like these would be welcomed back

I still think this issue should be still pushed rather than take a back seat, i cannot see what time a short event would take from the Dev's and TBH with the faction wars ongoing there is more than enough oppotunity for events to take place without interfering in player owned space or politics,
CCP just stating they havent the time is a 'get out of jail free card'
RP written storyline only interests a percentage, real live events taking place will interest quite a few more imo
Oh btw thanks for answering

Well regardless what the trolls say, ive read every single link provided and absorbed as much as i can, ive only ever voted once for Vuk and since then nver voted or gave any interest to the CSM, however after reading Annk's manifesto - ive given her my 2 votes as she seems to be someone i would like to represent myself with my varied and wide experiences of the game.
Ankh 2 votes winging your way

Im suprised at you Seleene, thought u had better things to do if im honest 
Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979).
So Technically in essence someone can be employed without renumeration or written contract.
Personally i wouldnt call it employment but thats my own definition i dont believe there was any intention to decieve.
But i suppose when you get involved in politics even in a game more people want to stab you in the back bring you down and basically treat people like dirt but hey thats Eve online

So if i am at a dinner, with, say, the president and he asks me to pass the salt, this means i can say on my resume that I served under the President of the United States. Awesome.
Lol im not suprised at that response by you.
I believe it means that if you are given a job to do with direction and clear goals (ie the CSM) under the service of another (ie CCP & Eve online players) contract being verbal or written (i believe you guys sign some paperwork/disclaimer).
CCP directs and controls the CSM to a extent as they get you to Iceland i would say also provide accom and food etc.
In the UK immigration can arrest a immigrant in work where their passport says they cant, if they argue hey im not getting paid, the counter arguement is , well u receive food/accom thats payment  ur gone byebye.
-
Passing salt to the president is a grosse example of misunderstanding and over simplfacation of what im trying to say and underlines to me what i hate about politics and the CSM, but this year ive decided to give it a chance and see what good may come from it.

At the risk of annoying potential voters for me, I feel I must correct this misunderstanding you have that CSM can be classed as employees of CCP.
6. Did the "employee" of CCP sign an employment contract or receive regular pay cheques?
Answer: NO, CSM delegates only sign a non-disclosure agreement and no payments were made.
I'm not sure about Icelandic law, but over here if you haven't signed an employment contract then the only other way you can be classed as being employed by a company is if you have accepted regular payments from that company.
7. Have you seen the NDA which the CSM are obliged to sign when they take up the role which specifically states they are not employees of CCP?
Answer: Apparently not  Then again I have only seen the contact from CSM4 which may be different to those issued for earlier CSM.
Whilst at the CSM summit CCP supplied food, lodging and paid for flights and transfers. However they also (AFAIK) did the same for the journalist from PC Gamer magazine who was writing an article about the CSM. Are you trying to imply that he must have also been classed as an employee of CCP?
I certainly wouldn't put my time on CSM4 under the employment history section of my CV, but it would be totally relevant under the "Other Skills" section.
Obviously what ive stated before hasnt been read or understood;
Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979).
so point 6 is irrelevant and so is point 7 - and tbh all this is political desperation in trying to smear someone that is only volunteering her time to help pass players comments and concerns to CCP is getting tiresome,
I can understand RL politicians conducting a constant smear campaign as they get paid untold fortunes in costs and guarrenteed future income etc but not game players - all the potential CSM's are trying to do is make a differance.

The fact that you don't get why people are doing this just shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the issue at hand. Read all of her quotes and campaign messages without the 'fanboi' rose-tinted glasses you appear to be sporting and you will see that she has made it her mission to try to negatively change the preferred play-style for a lot of people.
If you still don't get it, then you really are playing the wrong game.
If i was playing the wrong game then i would have discovered that approx 6 years ago

Now you're getting somewhere. It is verymuch possible to play eve for 6 years and still don't have a clue what it's about.
Ofc you need to be a bit dim for that but statisticly you really aren't a special case :)
If anything that made me smile
