But... But... But ineffectual forum whining is the EVE-O way! You surely can't mean that it's pointless, can you..?! Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing. Didn't vote? Then you voted for NulBloc

Interesting... then by that arguement James 315 would not have been a Hi Sec candidate & extended further HE IS NOT THE TRUE SAVIOR OF TRUE HISEC you needed this thread to tell you that he was a total waste of space? you waste time reading this?

Sum of it. Not any independents in the bunch. It's Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed is the Goonie leader. I like Greene Lee though, because she outlined something very important to me -- better customer service. That's something any gamer regardless of political stripe can benefit from. Plus, insulting her ESL was enough for me to want to vote for her. International game and folks whine that her English isn't perfect for them. Snots need to be taught a lesson, big time. I love you can tell how uninformed Ace is not by his laughable paranoia, but because he's unaware Greene Lee is a hairy, stocky Russian man's man. Who had a year to do something about customer service but hasnt said anything about it outside his campaign ;) (love you Greene, but sry) "Alekseyev Karrde: mercenary of my heart."-á -Arydanika, Voices from the Void Hero of the CSM Noir./Noir.

Snow Axe GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1210	Posted - 2013.04.05 21:04:00 - [68] - Quote Malcanis wrote: It's perfectly rational. Get 14 people who don't want a CSM elected, they all refuse to participate: the CSM will be effectively killed. It's certainly more rational than spending time trying to kill the CSM by ineffectual forum whining. That's a pretty ******** hypothetical, especially when the root of it is defending you being a lazy prick that just wanted to badger someone into voting on the outside chance they'd fire you somewhere on their list :v It's also a massive assumption of yours that the forum whining is an actual literal attempt to "kill" the CSM, rather than just the same garden variety venting anyone does about anything. It's entirely possible (and very rational) that one could reach the conclusion that the CSM is worthless, refuse to validate its existence via participation, but at the same time realize that the CSM will continue as a thing so long as CCP wants it to, players be damned.

Eve in a nutshell, it's you vs the universe, and every machiavellian space bastard in it. I've voted in the CSM8 elections. Have you? Would you like to know more?

I would just love to be the interviewer reading someones CV that had "I was a CSM in EvE" listed as an accomplishment. Two of the defining characteristics of a carebear are wanting other players to play the way the carebear wants and whining on the forums for the game to change when they don't. Yet I see more threads on these forums from gankers than I do miners whining about wanting the game changed to suit them.

It's always funny how the CSM takes credit for things that were spread over the forums and other sources far and wide before any of them came into the picture.

Nothing on the eve home page, no in game email, nothing on the Eve Gate home page, the CSM candidate selection is mentioned in passing at the bottom of an email, etc.. It's almost like CCP doesn't want the majority of its players to vote.

The CSM is a pure PR and Marketing tool, nothing else. If that's what you believe, then why not change it? Go out and stand behind the CSM, participate in their information gathering and unite behind them, regardless of who they are, so that they can become more? The view you take of the CSM only exists because comments like these reduce the ability of the CSM to be an effective representation of the player base. And let me ask you a simple question. What do you think CCP will be influenced more by? The people they bring to specifically spend face time with them, or someone posting on a forum. Artctura for CSM 2013

The people they bring to specifically spend face time with them, or someone posting on a forum. If those are the only two choices then people posting on the forums would be a better choice. The CSMs will simply ignore anything that isn't something they want or like. Example: A CSM from Goon or New Order is unlikely to bring concerns from hi-sec miners to the attention of CCP .

Unless you're in one of the voting blocs that wields enough power to put a candidate in the Top 2, you no longer have any chance to choose who goes to Iceland, so that point is moot :v "Look any reason why you need to talk like that?
