The flat earth hypothesis has been disproved by people who used evidence and maths in their proof. They did a good job, so now everyone accepts the world is round, but that acceptance is only because of the evidence and maths.
I assume that you picked an example that so obviously counters your argument as an indirectly ironic way of conceding that mynnna is right?

I do love such definitive statements from people, they so often turn out to be wrong. Wikipedia wrote:Flat Earth Society
The Flat Earth Society (also known as the International Flat Earth Society or the International Flat Earth Research Society) is an organization that seeks to further the idea that the Earth is flat instead of an oblate spheroid. The modern organization was founded by Englishman Samuel Shenton in 1956[1] and was later led by Charles K. Johnson, who based the organization in his home in Lancaster, California. The formal society was inactive after JohnsonGÇÖs death in 2001 but was resurrected in 2004 by its new president Daniel Shenton. They exist so apparently everyone was not convinced. Personally I prefer the fight people had against the theory that the earth was the center of the universe and how they eventually proved those who believed they were right, were actually dead wrong.
You realise that the FES is a troll, right? Like the Landover Baptists?

He's right though, 12% is a disappointing turnout.

The point, Frying Doom, is that the titles themselves absolutely can have value in the right hands. You of all people should understand this since you used the inverse to argue that Trebor's failure to update wiki pages or whatever while he was CSM 6 Secretary was proof that nobody should vote for him. Yes the office does have some duties, no where does it actually say that the leader of the CSM is the chairman. It says "The responsibilities of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman are to handle official communications between the CSM and CCP, and they are expected to be particularly active in interacting with the community. " So you are looking for a good communicator, someone who communicates well and frequently with the community especially. so Mynnna posting stats are total posts: 883 Jita Park Speakers Corner 25,48% (225 posts) Market Discussions 19,59% (173 posts) Corporation, Alliance and Organization Discussions 18,01% (159 posts) EVE General Discussion 12,34% (109 posts) now I will not say some of her marketing posts are not great, because they are, but all in all not a huge communicator. Mike Azariah Total posts 209 Jita Park Speakers Corner 68,42% (143 posts) Assembly Hall 12,44% (26 posts) EVE General Discussion 7,18% (15 posts) So not that many but when you add in the fact he is also a blogger and the fact he hosts podside, that counts a lot more. Then you have Ripard Teg, Yes out of all of them he has the highest level of communication and personally if did not believe the CSM needed a Hi-sec chairman to communicate with the masses (Most of which are hi-sec residents), I really do believe Ripard would make an excellent communicator with the player base of new eden. Lets face it he does it already. Malcanis has good ideas, but he is elitist to the core, Mynnna is arrogant as hell, thankfully Malcanis does not want the job, and Mynnna is ill suited. Do what is best for the CSM and the game as a whole, not just your egos.
Mittens has 3978 posts. Obviously I'm four and a half times the communcator he is!

Try reading threads which are not created by and primarily about you.
You might find that almost as refreshing.

I've added this valuable information to our working notes.
PS We're pretty much decided on who's going to do what; we promise to make as many people as angry as possible with our decision.

You've elected Frying Doom chairman, haven't you?
We wanted to but Dolan said no
Srs tho, we're all working together very nicely, and there's a very good atmosphere in the CSM8 channel. Some good ideas on how we're going to work with CCP are bubbling up and being implemented, and we're looking forward to getting on with the job and helping them make EVE (and helping them avoid mistakes too ofc)
I'm afraid this is likely to be an extremely low-drama CSM8. Perhaps FD would like to christen us appropriately? I personally favour "The CSM who sold the world", but just as he has to respect our decisions in our jurisdiction, so must we respect his.

Because badges also denote things like Jabber access and being allowed to attend meetings.

Frying Doom wrote:A lot of people still do not actually know what the CSM is let alone why they should vote, and those that do know, know that the CSM is always full of null members and this year being just as bad. You have to give people a reason to vote, otherwise all that will happen is the CSM will lose what power it had with the player base and stop having any purpose at all.
If the history of this game has taught us anything it is that the more of a lobby the CSM is or the more of a CCP cheerleader, the more attractive unsubbing has become to actually voicing concerns.
Since CSM7 has seen the greatest ever rise in subs, then by that metric they are the least cliquey, non-cheerleady CSM yet.
Conversely, CSM 6...

That's not the EVE way, my friend.

What are you talking about? I'm a hi-sec representative (3 of my 6 characters are in hi-sec), so the 80% have me as a rep.
I'm already hard at work brainstorming gameplay ideas with the CCP guys. We were dicussing some fun possibilities for hi-sec mining last night.

We were dicussing some fun possibilities for hi-sec mining last night. hi-sec mining.... fun gameplay... is that even possible? Unless the roids shoot back, just randomly explode or have real mass so if your ship hits them it causes massive damage how can mining possible be made fun? Good luck with that task lol I salute you :) You now need to tackle the roid to stop it running away, then apply webs to slow it down. The roid is now angry (did I mention it was sentient?) and you have to tank the damage from tiny rocks hitting you like bullets while you drive a laser deep into its heart killing it. The roid now drops minerals that can be salvaged with a strip miner. Also they can only be targeted by mining barges. I come up with some stupid **** sometimes...
You forgot to mention that you're now also wardecced by Scordite
