I met the player of Helen Highwater once or twice at the UK live roleplaying event "The Gathering" and suffice to say he really shouldn't be labelling anyone else "a dribbling idiot."
Counterpoint: You're Jade Constantine.

Counter-counterpoint: Takes one to know one.
Long exposure to Jade Constantine has inoculated me against him.

Finally, something The Mittani and I can agree on!
Congratulations, you know that Eve's UI is horrible. Surely you are the first CSM candidate to ever mention this to CCP. That must make you the Al Gore of Eve UI improvements. OF COURSE, the UI is crap. OF COURSE, one way to improve the UI would be to give players the tools to come up those improvements on their own. Is there anyone with any sense who has ever said otherwise? No one is saying that you don't support the most obvious ways to improve the Eve Online experience. We're saying that your unique ideas are so abominably bad that CCP's development team would have to be hopped up on a gallon of rotten shark liquor to give any of them credence. (Hint: If none of your ideas are taken seriously, you are a waste of an international plane ticket.)
A candidate is judged by the views which distinguish them from everyone else, not the consensus opinions virtually every pilot holds. Your ideas - your actual, conceived-by-Trebor, unique ideas - are godawful. No, you can't claim credit for 'fix the UI' as a unique idea. Well, I guess you can TRY.
You and Mittens also agree that the sky is often blue, that water is wet and that trees are usually made of wood (he does, anyway; I asked). If you do make it onto the CSM (Heaven forbid) and meet in the flesh, there's probably no end to the things that the two of you will find you in common. Do you have two arms, two legs and a head? Hey, so does Mittens! Do you consume organic matter to stay alive? Mittens does that, too!
So yes, let's amend our official statement in re: your candidacy.
* Trebor Daehdoow is an idiot whose ideas regarding the direction that Eve Online should take are dangerous and ludicrous.
* He personally came up with the idea that Eve's UI is bad (just kidding, Mister Vice President).
Also, you call it a "smear campaign" (because it's you). We call it educating the electorate.

In the spirit of educating the electorate (and so that I don't appear to be making unfounded assertions), let's review some of Trebor's terrible, terrible ideas:
"Pinball" style Doomsdays, which would be the FOURTH change to Doomsdays and which was shamelessly stolen from the Empyrean Age trailer)
Support for "Dominion-style" sov changes that have produced the opposite of their intended effect (enlarging and entrenching nullsec power blocs instead of shrinking them and making it easier to invade bloated ones.)
Cumulative local chat delays, making it nearly impossible to say more than a few things in local before the delay becomes unbearable.
Some wacky scheme to encrypt packets travelling between the server and client, which would solve nothing and could ruin everything.
Reduce fleet sizes by making the client behave even worse than it already does in large fleet fights.
Don't ban bots: just let people in empire shoot them. (Fun fact: He fails to realize that the problem is detection, not enforcement. At least he'll get Iskbank.com's vote.)
I could go on (seriously, just look for his posts on eve-search; he's a crazyposting machine), but do I really need to? |

so basically you're just trying to say that since the idea isn't original it doesn't count.
pray tell what :awesome: ideas can mr. mittens claim to be his own then? if it's gonna be ranting and raving and being an ass I got bad news for you.
No, I'm saying that seeking validation for his campaign by saying "Oh, Mittani and I agree on this one thing; ergo, I should be taken seriously" is ridiculous.
As for Mittens ... I'd refer you to his campaign thread, but something tells me it would be like throwing a wicker basket into a well. You'd get wet, but you wouldn't retain much. |
