posting in a "goons own the CSM" tears thread

Not my words fool.

pleb

Tis your thread pleb

Curious how come you being a Goon isn't showing on the left there baltec. Had me confused for while. Then I realised that you obviously aren't proud of your record as a Goon and turned the show corp/ally options off.

I mean, heck, all those POS mod kills, a few Hulks and indies, ya must be the lamest man around town yeah?

Fix what?

Oh my!

You care so much you went and looked at my record of the branch war and my little visit to the drone lands yet not enough to post with a main. Did we scam you or perhaps blow up your ratting carrier or something? You seem bitter.

Adventures in CCPland

Vile Rat and I headed to Iceland in December for Yet Another CSM Summit. The good news is that this one wasn't awful, like the atrocity of the Emergency Summit. The fruits of our efforts in seizing the CSM last March have been made obvious by Crucible; Time Dilation was successfully used on Tranquility just the other day, and I expect it to be turned on permanently soon. That alone will utterly change the nature of warfare in EVE, increasing the emphasis on subcapitals and the effectiveness of Logistics ships.

There are perhaps three pubbies left on eve-o who are still chanting the old 'CSM is Useless' mantra; the rest have actually gotten it through their mong-brains that the CSM matters (in the right hands) and can produce results (in the right hands) - and so have shifted their wailing and ranting to the more pleasing refrain that the CSM has too much power and is a danger to the game, and that (the horror!) goons are on the CSM. Heavens!

The parentheticals demonstrate the rule - the CSM can wield a frightening level of influence if someone of sound mind and a knack for political manipulation is in charge. The experience of the previous CSM demonstrated to everyone in nullsec the galaxy-destroying risk of locking random ignoramuses in a conference room with CCP Greyscale.

So: we are approaching Election Season once more. Last year we - along with other like-minded members of nullsec - swept the election and helped remake EVE into a spaceship game. There will be many more votes this time around, as CSM6 raised the stakes for the entire game. I will once again be running for the Chairmanship, and we will be fully mobilizing to ensure that the voice of ~the people~ (ie, our people, and everyone of like mind to us) is heard. This will be a high-stakes election, not merely because of the power we have created within the CSM, but because after blowing up thousands of miserable Empire barges, I suspect the pubbies don't like us much!

You need to ask? You're an idiot.

So you have no answer?
You are a pointless whiner.

Feel free to interpret it as you wish!

And you Sir, after more of the "I know where the quote button is" and "here's another inane question" are just pointless.

Bite me Tippia.

Mittens has used words like "manipulate" as he bounces cap heavy 0.0 tenants out of there homes after "manipulating" the CSM and CCP. What needs to be interpreted?

Interpret?

"For the good of the game".

Bullshit. Never was.

Unseating deeply rooted alliances from their space is bad for the game?

In Australia, "rooted" means something else. So yeah, they are "deeply rooted".

And c'mon - how long were WN in Branch? Lemme see, when did GSF chicken out on the NC and go cry to CCP to get caps nerfed?

'bout then wasn't it?

With all of your pent up hate and intolerance you cannot be a fan of ponies. However I am so I will love and tolerate you while also pointing out you havent said what needs to be fixed.

You're avoiding the question. How is unseating a super-alliance from their space bad for the game?
