The CSM has been going from success to success, but ever since Goonswarm began killing miners in hisec, a gaggle of politically naive rabble have been making thread after thread about me.

While I can't keep track day-to-day if it's a "CSM is powerless and a joke" day or a "Mittani has too much power, oh god" day, either way I assure you that I enjoy your hypocritical rage.

Well as you've probably noticed I'm not exactly that empathic about people whining about CSM and not voting - I do despise the section of the community that can't be bothered to vote and then says CSM doesn't represent them. But. There is a problem in that Nullsec alliances are simply better organized at conjuring bloc votes to get their candidates in and while you can leave it to tooth and claw and say "screw highsec if they can't get decent candidates and vote" I guess the reality of it is that highsec players tend to be more casual and less inclined to full engagement with the community.

I guess you'd choose which kind of seat you wanted to contest at the time you entered the race - alongside registering your rl name and address and details etc you choose which kind of seat you were going for. Mittani would be free to run for a highsec seat but maybe only highsec players get to vote in that constituancy ? (who knows, I really don't have any specific proposal here)

But something probably does need to be done to ensure more variety in future CSMs - I think none of us really benefit from the monotheistic ones for a couple of reasons -> 1. they do miss important issues (as this one managed to miss NeX) and 2. it does become easier for CCP to ignore a particular CSM when they are armed by the whines of the community saying its unrepresentative of most players.

What I wonder is: will the random tea-partiers of this forum still declare that I possess orbital mind-control lasers in the next CSM?

but this thread was sparked by Hillmar's comment that a lot of people are worried about the nullsec vote bloc dominated CSM.

Ok, good to hear (the bit about paying attention to more than just your powerblock).

Honestly i'm mostly a HS player, but in reality we all know that massive sections of the game need looking at,mostly null to be honest. I have no problem with that and if you want to run for a second term and are looking out for the game, good luck to you.

The main problem with the highsec part of the CSM problem is that highsec peoples don't vote because they don't know about the CSM.

man i know why the CSM stays a null play thing now... ever time you speak of it in the most read forum section you thread gets locked or moved to this dismal place to be forgotten

How would you have them "disallow" the NeX store from going ahead, exactly? Attack the NeX development team with Molotov cocktails while they were at the spring summit?

Or do you just mean that the CSM should have made some feeble token gesture of protest, that CCP would have completely ignored and gone ahead anyway?

yes but we didn't manage the deluge of goons :argh: post until we butchered over a thousand miners like swine

To the OP. STOP WHINING ABOUT NOTHING.

This CSM got CCP back on the right track in regards to EVE.

This. While I voted for someone else, I have to give credit to all the CSM this time around. These people jumped through hoops and dropped everything repeatedly to concentrate on fixing things that needed fixing, and were assailed on all sides for their stance, they were (and are) heroes to me. We owe them a bit of applause.

I don't always agree with what they say, or their views on alot of things, but over all, I feel these people were the guys we needed, on hand when we needed them. Cheers!

Funny how you lot are in the MINORITY. Funny how more and more posts have risen, asking for the CSM to be removed. Not just me. Keep arguing your lame case. The simple fact is YOU HAVE NO SUPPORT. ITS GONE. GAME OVER.
