I didn't say it was likely, just that it was a possibility. Much in the way you justify what you say. |

With this simple act, I have refuted the possibility of this "can" situation ever occuring, or ever being true.
It CANNOT be true, as long as I do not acknowledge that I am fully represented. i think in that situation you're being represented by darius iii

That's just splitting hairs, literally.
Are you honestly telling me that we do not have a representative player council so long as even one player is not satisfied with the election results? Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á

That would be the case if I had said that they are a fully representative cross-section. What I said is that they can be.
Yes, it relies on us having an unbiased sample (and this is the real thing that will trip up the GÇ£canGÇ¥ bit), but at 14% of the total population, the odds are actually fairly good that it's all there and that the margin of error is suitably small. But at that point we're discussing voter behaviour rather than actual percentages.

I never voted for New Labour and Tony Blair et-al back in the day, still see the damage reaked and do you know what ? ..they represented me whether I liked it or not, just a life lesson that also applies to EvE.

Where have you proven this? Nowhere.
Furthermore, you cannot prove it, because I, as one part of the entire EVE population, do not recognise and have not empowered any member of the CSM panel as representative of me. Infact, this disproves your claim perfunctorily, without any need for proof to your statement itself.
What you claim to be true, cannot be true, as long as I exist as part of the entire EVE population. You cannot prove the opposite, because you cannot eliminate my choice in this matter, as a part of the entire EVE population. |

The imagination is a wonderful thing. As you often exercise with imagined implications, suggestions etc that the other person has not actually or objectively expressed.
Like having a discussion with an imaginary person, rather than the actual person.
I understand why you do it. But its in your own head, not actually something that I am, have done, or am responsible for. |

They are empowered by their office to make decisions for you, by a majority of voters. But they do not represent you. Furthermore, as is distinct in CSM, the body has no actual power or authority, whereas Parliament is, it is true, empowered to act on the behalf of the majority, they are also responsible to the minority, whether they are empowered by that minorities vote or note.[/quote]
Guessing politics is not your forte, to be responsible is to represent, whether or not you cast your vote in that direction.

Actually you should be using the modal verb "could" rather than "can" as you are expressing a possibility rather than an ability. You aren't saying they are currently able to fully represent the whole playerbase, just that the situation is possible.
Added: Unless your assertion is that they *do* fully represent the playerbase, in which case "can" would be the correct usage. |

Its not funny.
Its stupid, illogical and false.
You cannot prove that it will ever happen. Therefore there is no proof that it can happen. Typical Tippia circle-logic.
You cannot prove that there will not always be someone, even just one person, who does not acknowledge that they, as a part of the entire EVE community, are represented by the CSM elected by a mere 14% of the entire population. |

You have not proven that that set of conditions can ever be possible.
Your position is very much like claiming: "Pigs CAN one day learn to fly, in the set of conditions that makes it possible" But you can never prove that that set of conditions will ever become possible.
Its an empty statement with no bearing or wherewithal to anything of substance or consequence. It is neither false nor true. Just stupid.
You might as well claim that: "Ghandi CAN one day pilot a Catalyst and gank miners, in the set of conditions that makes it possible". |
