How do you feel posting the same accusation hundreds of times, without a shred of evidence to back it up, in multiple fora that are all the wrong place to level the charge?
I'm not even saying there's no RMT in nullsec--I have a third-hand account of some, but here's the thing: it was reported to CCP, who acted on it. Who do you expect to influence with this constant drum-banging against parties you cannot name explicitly (because you have no evidence)?

If you were trying to pick a motto for Eve, "Ignorance is no excuse" would definitely be up there.
If being a member of the CSM is just another tool in gaining advantage over other players... that is fine, but why would anyone expect the majority of the player base to be involved in this process? yeah, tools to gain advantages over other players definitely shouldnt interest the majority EVE Online players So CCP employees should be allowed to use their out of game position to gain advantage in game. You would support this? |

Should it be a tool in gaining advantage? Is that acceptable?
If member of the CSM learn that CCP is going to make some basic changes and then use that knowledge to advance their own causes... dramatically... is that acceptable? (Sort of insider trading)
If it is acceptable... ok. I would just like to know.

Nope, that's been ruled breaking the NDA.
Taking advantage of one's CSM seat to gain personal/political advantage, though? That's just life in EVE. It's not a good reason to run, and anyone who's running with that as their primary motivation is gonna be a ****** CSM and nobody should vote for them. But if it's something someone tacks on to an otherwise-successful CSM term, it's within the bounds of the rules, if not necessarily a trait that recommends that CSM for re-election. http://warp-to-sun.tumblr.com -- my blog |

If that is the way it is... that is the way it is.
But do you think it would have an effect on player participation during the voting process?
Obviously if your are a member of the Goonswarm, you vote for your candidate. That make sense, but what about the many players who don't have a member of their group running for CSM? By voting are they not just giving power to others to take advantage of them?
Voter turnout was by most measure low this last election cycle, if members of the CSM using their title and position to scam player... do you think the mass will show much interest in the CSM? I am just wondering, because during the last election some/many actively posted against voting at all. Saying that it was counter productive and wishing to see the CSM disbanded.
I thought CCP was interested in getting a larger number of greater player involved in voting: do you believe using title and position on CSM helps in this process? |

Internal Affairs are pretty hot on that kind of thing. It would take a smarter CSM than me to game the system and a braver one to even try.
(Also it's a lot of effort, I mean it's not like ISK is hard to make anyway)
