Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.14 22:00:00 - [1] 0 for 11 and counting (though I'm having second thoughts about #8. I'd prefer someone who is able to see through the sham that was billed as the CSM emergency summit.) But instead of 8 I've thought of a few more: 9. Announce that you will not be nerfing wormholes again in the foreseeable future and that even contemplating doing so was one of your stupider decisions in a year of colossally stupid decisions. 10. Announce that while you enjoy Mittens' asshattery and tomfoolery that you can't in good conscience take his recommendations seriously when he so clearly does not have the best interests of the game or the players (who aren't in his alliance) at heart (and has said as much.) And since the rest of this CSM are little more than sycophants, that applies to them as well. (Getting to work on a direct input from the players (voting/survey) system in the background would be a good idea.) 11. Announce that you've taken a few hours out of the workday to discuss this and this with your employees and to make it clear that you understand and embrace the contents therein.

Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.14 22:15:00 - [2] Originally by: Zagdul Glad to see AkJon Ferguson feels he's smarter than CCP. I mean, what better way to get your point across than by being patronizing and belittling. That really wins the hearts of the people you're trying to communicate to. bravo... not. Feels? "patronizing and belittling"? What can I say? I learned something from CCP. Now go back to petitioning wardecs and saying that EVE needs more ISK faucets and stuff.

Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.15 02:11:00 - [3] Originally by: Taedrin Unfortunately, you are not even shining by comparison here. You are simply reducing yourself in a way that makes you seem arrogant and ignorant. I AM arrogant. (I'd be in the tiny minority here if I weren't.) So are the devs, so are the CSMs, so what? (You HAVE seen this, right?) Only difference is I happen to be right a hell of a lot more often than they are. Ignorant? I stand by the facts/opinions I expressed in the post you quoted, which line(s) do you think betrayed some level of ignorance? "I represent those who voted for me, not 'everyone'. Don't give me your entitled voter schtick ..." ~CSM Chair Mittens

ARE YOU MOVING PAST VANITY ITEMS FOR AURUM?: [ ] YES [ ] NO Originally by: Tuhikya For the love of god this has been a month now If you hate CCP / EVE .... STFU and leave already Not all of us have attention spans as short as you, son. Question has been answered son & I'm for the most part happy. How about you redirect your rage to something useful like the rebalance of railguns ? The answer was yes and you're happy? So you would have been unhappy if the answer was no?

Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.16 18:39:00 - [8] 12. Require that all CCP employees working on EVE publicly disclose their alliance affiliations, if any (both past and current.) No need to provide specific alt identities, but just basics like: CCP Soundwave Lead Designer for Internet Spaceships: Goonswarm/fleet/waffe 2005 (or whatever the actual date is) - Present It wasn't cool when T20 cheated to help BoB and it's not cool when Touborg cheats to help goons.

Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.17 19:42:00 - [9] Originally by: AkJon Ferguson 1. Make incarna completely optional. 2. Remove microtransactions completely from non-incarna gameplay. 3. Give people the option to have their old avatars back. 4. Spend adequate resources on Internet Spaceships. 5. Fire soundwave and the marketing guy. 6. Make it clear to all CCP employees that if they post on forums on one of their alts in defense of CCP, they will be fired. 7. Apologize to the last CSM, who warned you well ahead of time exactly what would happen if you do what you did and did everything in their power to prevent it. 8. Hire Mynxee as your Chief Ethics Officer and give her access to all internal communications and the power to make them public if she considers their contents to contradict your public positions or to be against the interests of the playerbase. CCP asks its players to invest a significant amount of time/resources to its game. On top of that we pay for everything at CCP. They owe us gratitude, honesty, and improved gameplay over time. They're 0 for 3 so far. Originally by: Hirana Yoshida The first thing they should do is perma-ban dullards like the OP. 1. Already is optional, just lost the hangar. No one is forcing you to buy crap. 2. Yes, I too want to dust off my credit card to play Eve, don't have near enough expenses in RL as it is! (Plex = MT in case you didn't know). 3. Huh? What on earth for? They were bland to put it mildly and the options removed are being added (too slowly but added nonetheless). 4. Define adequate. My guess is that no matter how much they allocated to spaceships some would always want more (myself included) .. but I know enough of how crap works to say periods of horizontal expansion are good once in a while. 5. Ban AkJon Ferguson. Wow, this ** is easy! 6. I am an alt, my main is also an alt and we are both Russian bots operated in China by a Goon/BoB chapter (PS: your tinfoil needs refreshing). 7. Goes back further than that really. Then again if "we" got to decide Eve would have 50k subs and look like a 8-bit game in a HD world (nostalgia is fine but not as a rule-of-law). 8. "Lol" what? For that to be even remotely unbiased Mynx would have to quit the game entirely and have the same kind of access to all player communications .. power corrupts, absolute po...... CCP are asking for no such thing. They do however offer to take your money and provide a world that entertains you .. much like a movie theatre or a concert does. If you are that discontent then quit, simple. Put your wallet where your mouth is and stop moaning .. Eve withdrawal may be harsh but it is survivable . 1. It's only optional temporarily. Please keep up. 2. Fair point, I should have said Remove microtransactions (other than PLEX) completely from non-Incarna gameplay. 3. Because lots of people prefer their old avatars, have had them for many years and were 'invested' in them and because giving them that option has no cost. It would also be a way of telling at a glance if a player is more interested in Internet Spaceships or Space Barbies. 4. When you have no leg to stand on in a debate, try to make the argument about the definition of terms. Only a troll or a dev alt would argue that a game as profitable and broken (after 8 years) as EVE (Internet Spaceships) is currently receiving sufficient development resources. 5. If I bot or hack their server or Monkeysphere my client, they should indeed ban me. They should hold my behavior to a reasonable standard. And they should hold their own behavior to a reasonable standard. They do little of the former and none of the latter. 6. Are you naive enough to believe that there aren't any dev alts posting/trolling forums to try to manipulate public opinion and mislead players? 7. CSM V best CSM. They cared about the game (not just their own interests within the game,) worked hard, and called bull** on Hilmar, which is their job. 8. Mynxee did quit. I withdrew this one anyway.

As a matter of fact, if the vanity items can be destroyed I'm more than fine with it. I would love to blow up someone's real money. Edit: Also, Incarna does nothing for me. Wish they would have done something else with their resources. But the mt aren't staying vanity-only and the vanity items can't be destroyed when worn. Keep up.
