Edited by: Jonathon Silence on 03/03/2011 04:21:47 I am going to add my voice to the dissent to your post.
I am not in this for a Free trip to Iceland, fo rme it is not a simple flight. It would involve 36-44 hours of travel from leaving my door to getting to the hotel and then the same on return. It sucks, but I am willing to do it for a game I love.
Nor am I interested in getting hired by CCP. As Seleene has said 'Been there done that'.
What the CSM needs is a group of people representing the whole of the EVE players that can understand their common goals, accept differences and still work as a team.
How do you think CCP will react if all the members of the CSM are from Goonswarm and the NC or similar 0.0 blocks. They will be able to say, this is not an accurate representation of our player base, we do not need to listen to them. And that is one thing I never wish the CSM to become. The work of the previous CSM members, especially, CSM5 members has been outstanding in building the relevance of the CSM as a resource for CCP to make use of.
That could easily be destroyed by a badly select CSM built for 1 reason.
Now do not get me wrong I agree with a number of points from The Mittani, the CSM does have to work together, they have to be united, but this does not hinge on him being the Chairman, if he gets to be the Chairman and builds a CSM team then congratulations to him, but I also think there are other people that could do the job just as well. Vile Rat has valid points about the state of 0.0 warfare, I agree with most of his points, I do not agree with some of his fix recommendations, but that does not mean that, if I was on the CSM, I (as a non 0.0 player) would not support him to get the issues fixed (the actual solution comes down to CCP). I would support any issue the CSM as a whole brings to CCP to have resolved.
EVE is such a complex game that no part of it can be said to live in 'isolation', changes in any part of the game are going to have ripple effects in all other parts, it is trying to understand these and make sure that they are thought about and if they will be a negative impact, then dealing with them before they become an issue. A cross-sectional CSM is going to be better able to work as a team to do this kind of thought process than a single 'faction'.
So Agree on Unified front from the CSM, but strongly disagree that it all needs to be from 0.0.

Your forum posts say otherwise m8 =/
LOL. I have worked for CCP before, great bunch of people. Very cool company to work for, if you want to work in the computer gaming industry I can not recommend CCP highly enough as an employer and as a group of people.
But personally, while I enjoyed the experience, I am not looking to return to Iceland fulltime. I rather like my current job in NZ and am settled and really do not want to move 1/2 way across the world again. :)
