****** lineup, but it was to be expected when the choice of candidates was also pretty ******. |

also it doesn't matter how many subs were lost, if more were gained in the same time period. |

Ekaterina 'Ghetto' Thurn wrote:Our votes went to Corebloodbrothers as his campaign statement said he would work to make the results of any CSM advice more democratic. To my mind that meant less null-centric but knowing my luck he might have meant the other way around ? As in RL if you don't vote you can't complain. That's what I say anyway. 
if you want it to be less null-centric, maybe the people outside of null sec should vote more. you know, democracy and all. |

I really wish voting was monitored by a third party. I do vote, everyone I know votes, all our alts vote, and not one of them voted for a single goon. Granted, that's hardly proof, and frankly I'm eternally suspicious of CCP since they regularly manipulate the sandbox, then claim necessity or pretend it was an accident, and alternatively admit/deny their association with major alliances, who typically directly benefit from CCP actions and/or foreknowledge of CCP plans that the rest of us are not privy to. CSM minutes? Sure, once everything in them are long over. New pirate ships? Yes, available everywhere, but cheaper for Goonswarm! Elections? All goon votes count double. and their serfs better vote their way if they know what's good for them!
great, you and your buddy didn't vote for goons.
alternatively the rest of us just voted for people who would just make good CSM candidates. look at this year's line up, the null sec candidates were the best candidates. not to mention, now we've actually got to vote for a list of 14 people, it promotes apathy. I personally voted for less than half of my ballot because there literally weren't any candidates worthy of a vote, even just to fill up my list. then i didn't bother voting on my alts, because i just didn't care enough with such a ****** lineup.
regardless of the apathy, in game affiliations really have little to nothing to do with the quality of some one as a csm candidate. i'd vote for mynnna every time because i sincerely think he's one of the best csm candidates going. i sincerely doubt there are 14 people i'd rather vote for than him, let alone having all 14 of them actually running. |

Yeah, personal freedom is just so evil, am I right? Or should we only have the freedom to choose if we choose correctly? Ah, spoken like a true Randian.

confirming high sec having good rewards is why i live there.
why would i go anywhere else when all i'd get for my troubles is more hassle for no extra reward? |

as it stands, high sec doesn't really need many changes at all. it's a pretty good baseline to use as the measuring stick to ensuring that other areas of space are working correctly in terms of getting out what you put in. |

I'm pretty confident that fixing POS, reworking sovereignty and making corp & alliance features work properly, along with giving power projection a savage kick in the balls, would all be more effective development targets. Yeah, now that your stated goal (about 12 months ago) was to wreck high sec industry. Mission accomplished, on to the next task.
i'm sorry, you've yet to link any evidence of high sec industry being wrecked.
evidence, it's required for you to be taken seriously. |

The cartels are already planning on controlling the most lucrative products (one of the goonswarm guys posted that fact, day 2, citing jump freighters as an example), and there is absolutely nothing high sec can do about it, except watch the vast majority of its industrial profits be diverted to the cartels.
And this is bad because.... why? Nice troll. And if you are serious, please step away from the keyboard now, before you hurt yourself.
to be fair, i'm surprised you haven't hurt yourself yet.
must be difficult not tripping over all that tin foil that you've stockpiled. |

Concurrency numbers dispute that 'ten years of growth'. Unless there are an ever increasing number of paying subs that never log in.
of course there is; look at dr E's presentation at fanfest. you can quite clearly see that more supercaps are being produced than destroyed. as far as i'm aware, people don't log in and ship spin with those. |

That's based on the assumption that every supercap produced is using either a cap alt or a cyno alt instead of being stored as a war reserve at POS. did you just suggest that people leave ships worth billions of isk just sat, unpiloted, in poses?
please tell me you didn't just suggest that. |

yes. What an unhappy world you live in. Let me be your little ray of sunshine by assuring that we do and we did (well, 13 of us anyway) I hope that has brightened your bleak, hopeless existence just a little, even if the sheer evanesence of the experience only served to deepen your gloom by contrasting it. you're in an npc corp and this is the eve-o forums. i love you malc, but as you can see... i can't take your posts seriously. |
