I'm starting to lose hope in the CSM entirely. I've definitely lost all hope in The Mittani. I voted for him, and that was a mistake. He campaigned as a guy who knows how to fight CCP. He actually is a guy who got bought off with some beers, and proudly became CCP's pre-eminent PR man, mugging his goatee on youtube about how awesome CCP are with their microtransaction plans. He got played, and for cheap. And on top of that, now we learn he doesn't even understand basic game mechanics, but feels perfectly comfortable lobbying for their changes regardless.
Mittani's CSM is craven to CCP, and uses what power they have to lobby for really stupid changes to game mechanics. Horrible. All of us who voted for these clowns should realize our mistakes. I certainly do now.
It's really more of a 'landing strip' than a goatee.
As for realizing your mistakes, I'm glad that you do now. It might also be wise to find out who had figured all this out back then and perhaps give their current arguments a 2nd look.
Here's me back on November 9:
"Since many seem to delusionally believe that the Mittani will bring significant positive changes to the core gameplay (Internet Spaceships) of EVE:
Mittens is on every level a less attractive candidate for CSM chair than Mynxee was. Here's just a few reasons why that's true:
Mynxee is a mature, level-headed woman. Mittens is an arrogant blowhard.
Mynxee cared passionately about the game (Internet Spaceships) and actually played it. Mittens barely plays Internet Spaceships at all.
Mynxee truly wanted to make EVE better for everyone. Mittens wants to make EVE better for the people who voted for him (overwhelmingly Goons.)
Mynxee is a hard worker. Mittens is 'retired' in his 30's.
Mynxee had no hidden agendas. Mittens has nothing but hidden agendas.
Mynxee believed in developing consensus. Mittens believes in autocratic rule.
Mynxee was willing to work with anyone who was willing to work in good faith with her. Mittens is too divisive to lead effectively.
I could go on, but bottom line, Chairman Mao brings nothing to the table that Mynxee lacked and lacks several of the qualities that Mynxee has.
CCP might reverse course and start focusing on excellence, but it will be because they start bleeding significant # of subscriptions, not because of anything that Chairman Mao does."
