You know what I'm hearing from you?

Unwillingness do something about a thing you complain about. I'm not a Goon, nor do I expect I shall ever be, but I cannot ignore the combination of hypocrisy and cowardice in all you "Grr Goons" people.

You're anklebiters, plain and simple.

Not at all. I don't mind goons in game. I have respect for they did and are doing in game - all of their achievements. But the attitude as an in game corp, imho, have no place on the CSM. Which is the issue of this topic.

I, too, extrapolate my views on an entire group of people based on my experiences with a single member.

Than shows everyone what you are and lets stop throwing catch phrases around. Everyone is responsible for their own image. This needs to work both ways. If you cared about your (goons) image, you would do something about it.

Obviously, you don't care.

p.s.
Again, I don't think the goons are evil, but that one person is the leader of the goons. Doesn't that mean someting?

It doesn't matter how players feel about a candidate until the time comes to vote. The only thing, to my knowledge, that prevents Mittens from running is his desire not to. CCP explicitly stated in their devblog after the Fanfest incident that he may be eligible to run for the CSM in the future: "As per our policies, this candidate may be eligible to run at a later date subject to candidacy review." Public opinion doesn't have any bearing on the eligibility of a candidate - one may point out the case of Fon Revedhort being barred from running, but that was entirely based on CCP's judgment. The players that objected to his candidacy only brought his questionable posts to CCP's attention, and CCP's judgment in that case was based on the possibility of his presence in the CSM being toxic for both the members of the council and CCP staff participating in their discussions.

And there's no need to care. No need to care about your opinion either. It's irrelevant. You might not even be glad you're *allowed* to *have* an opinion and just take it for granted that you can fling it around like a monkey throwing his crap at other monkeys he doesn't like.

People have to be paid to want an effective CSM chair?

Hahaha, I wondered how long it would take for the $10 buy-a-friend crowd to come of the the wood work.

Mmmmm, the Grubbie tears are delicious as always.

I don't know what they do that is so bad, it's what they don't do. I don't think they are evil or something, but if you have such an influence on a game and it's community, wouldn't it be best to act accordingly?

From my point of view, they act a bit selfishly, as I read from their comments here and there.

Wow.


Poe's law dictates that one can't detect sarcasm on the internet without proper information.

I'm not a Goon...

Here, let me spray some WD40 on your up tight nuts: Encouraging other players to grief another player in game in the hope that the victim actually commited suicide IRL, is cyberbullying. It doesn't matter what medium that encouragement was delivered in, the fact that Mittens was goading other players to carry out in game actions in the hope of achieving said outcome is cyberbullying by proxy.

It is irrelevant whether the failed lawyer is on the CSM or not. His influence is manifested through the who know how many null sec cartel reps goons place on the CSM. Further, as Ripard Teg, a current CSM member, stated in his blog, the failed lawyer uses his own back channels, apparently on a near daily basis, to give dev's his opinion about the direction of the game.

Oh, and ISD, this is not hearsay. When a sitting CSM member states it in his blog, I kinda think it is accurate.

I didn't see a slowcat nerf.

Guess three times who the chairman of THE SPACE ILLUMINATI is.
