Not going to happen. I have read about the real life harassment that followed one of the previous champions of high sec that managed to get onto a previous CSM. (had to pull down her website, affected her personal life)
I am aware of the circumstances related to this individual, as I served with her. I don't think your concerns are warranted.

I just know that I will speak out against the injustices being done to high sec some time in the future, and will get banned for it, and that will likely be soon.
You may recall that I was thinking of quitting EVE when I ran and was elected the first time. I used my first campaign as a way to say some things I felt needed saying. Perhaps you should consider doing the same?
Quote:Why would I want to endure all the ridicule, trolling, and ostracization that would occur from fighting against the CSM null sec cartel power bloc, plus any CCP employees who share their views on the direction of the game.
This doesn't happen. Friendly trolling and mockery, sure, but nothing mean-spirited.
Quote:1. Total in-game asset freeze of not only any CSM individuals, and all their accounts, including a period up to 6 months after they leave the CSM.
CSM members are closely monitored and audited by Internal Affairs. I fear your concerns are overblown, but would love to see you make the argument.
I doubt you will get all your wishes, but then, the perfect is the enemy of the good. By raising the issue, you may be able to change the status-quo in a direction you prefer.
tl/dr: Talk is cheap, Dinsdale. Have the courage of your convictions and run for CSM9. You might be surprised at how many people would vote for you.
On CSM, masochism is not an option -- it's a requirement! |
