Seems like the null sec noobs just don't understand. Most of them are just a number that are told what to do. And currently they are being told to say:
WH = Bad (which is laughable and why I call them noobs) Hi-sec = very bad low-sec = okay for now (otherwise it is just too obvious)

Malcanis I see, the manufacturing "buff" that this idea was included in is not planned.
Everything is fine then!
P.S. I too am looking forward to manufacturing in empire being even more **** then it is now. All hulks to null!! |

A conflict of interest (COI) occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in the other.
I'm curious what mechanism the OP would propose that would eliminate any possible conflicts of interest in CSM candidates.
Would you disallow members of player organizations from running for CSM? |

For one thing, smaller alliances won't reap direct rewards from the changes. Their influence in the game and in the development staff is minimal.
(Not as coherent as I would like but it is late here and I must slumber.) CSM - Do you think? You see if they ruin high sec and WHs, you are ripping the newbie uterus out of EVE and feeding it to the big alliances. When it is gone, they will starve and die. |

Personally, I don't think I would have noticed or taken issue with this if Goons had just one member on the CSM if that member wasn't the chairman, including that the person in turn wasn't the director of their alliance and if other aspects of the game were equally represented.
As it stands, how can people not view the CSM with scepticism? CSM - Do you think? You see if they ruin high sec and WHs, you are ripping the newbie uterus out of EVE and feeding it to the big alliances. When it is gone, they will starve and die. |

it was all done by the rules - unsubbed accounts were resubbed via hours for plex, multiboxers voted with several accounts, single-account dudes voted with their accounts, and the drooling morons like windypops lost to an organized null-sec voting bloc.
basically cry all you want, in the end, CCP cares more about their customers who run numerous accounts and invest far more money and time into their game than the drooling idiots who burn out after 8 months of running highsec missions or mining trying to achieve an unattainable goal. |

The same drooling masses which probably out number null sec accounts and make up the majority of money paid to CCP? The same drooling masses that are new enough to pay for the game with actual money? The same drooling masses which is where you null sec pilots originate from?
Yeah. Great post! CSM - Do you think? You see if they ruin high sec and WHs, you are ripping the newbie uterus out of EVE and feeding it to the big alliances. When it is gone, they will starve and die. |

Every person running for the CSM has an agenda. Hopefully most of them had agendas beyond a trip to Iceland. Just like in real life, we have the ability to vote. Many of us just choose not to.
There are lobbyists, Superpacs, unions, etc all with the ability to sway decision making. Most of the time these people are not working towards the common good, just their good. Now here, CCP does not have to listen to what the CSM tells them, but flat out ignoring them is very foolish.
And disallowing someone from running because they belong to a certain group.... Plain wrong. Allocate resources to FiS |

Anyone that looks at my alliance tag and assumes that means a damn thing about my opinions or why I ran for CSM doesn't know me at all and is welcome to read back on my blog to when I was running to find out more.
I ran for CSM on a very simple platform - Iterations. I want CCP to finish features they never completed and enhance the ones that currently exist. I've been playing since early 2003 & I worked at CCP as a Game Designer for over three years. Any views I had about one play style over another were pretty much washed away when you are forced as part of your job to consider things from every angle. I don't really have a 'personal agenda'. No, seriously, I have my opinions about EVE and what I like to do in it, but I'm not beholden to any one style of game play or out to wreck someone's day.
As for the other CSM members, they can speak for themselves. What I will say is that everyone on this CSM, even Mittens, has stepped and spoken up on issues outside of their perceived little box. At the end of the day, we play the game too and want it to get better. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Seleene, how about dem Wh minerals?
How did it come up? Do you feel like it is an issue? Are there large mining ops in WH's that are hauling them into empire and hurting the economic ballance? Does a null sec industry "re-ballancing" require such a thing in order to work?
Do you care to comment at all on this subject or pretend like it never existed? Current or not, on the table no or not... it was discussed. Why don't one of you CSM's want to comment on this subject? |

That doesn't answer my question. I'll repeat it again so you can take another stab at it:
Do you propose disallowing members of all large alliances from running for CSM, or from being the CSM chair? If so, what is the cutoff point between a large and a small alliance? |

While I don't doubt the veracity of that claim, it also does not answer my question.
To recap: My question has to do with eliminating "conflicts of interest" in CSM candidates, not curbing the impressive list of ways people can inflate their votes. |

You cannot get rid of conflicts of interest, but if the largest alliances can't inflate (and thus manipulate) the vote it helps out allot.
I have 3 accounts, I should be allowed 1 vote. I should not be allowed to inflate a vote 3 fold over people who only have 1 account (the obviousness is obvious) to do so greatly increases the likelihood of manipulation and thus, conflicts of interest. |

Let me set the record straight here:
I agree. Inflating votes with resubbing and trial accounts and alts ect is horse manure. One player = one vote. How to enforce that is a logistical concern, but I agree in principle.
Now: Go back and check the first post of this thread. Look at the bit where the OP talks about conflicts of interest.
That is the discussion I am trying to have. |

Where as I am trying to have a conversation with CSM Seleene about how the "WH mineral thing" came into existence. And although he has read my post many many time on this matter, he continually ignores the question.
How do we get CSM's to be candid and open about the ideas that they present? I have no idea... How do we get people to screen through all the crap ideas like "make null sec accessible only through wormholes" and good old time tested ideas like "Fix POS's for god's sake!"
There is no simple answer... say this. We need smart people who are actually playing the game make some decisions.
Everyone has an agenda, it doesn't matter who you are (the CSM's who were voted Via alliance vote inflation especially) IMO, CCP should never have made a CSM, they should have made a special public relations team who's sole purpose was to assess what "Fixes" and "additions" were most desirable by the general community and then ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. |

You're aware that Texas isn't the most populous state? (And by a considerable margin)
(Hint: acres don't vote)

I'm not ignoring it; there's simply nothing at all to say on it right now. It's been months since the initial questions / discussions happened and there has been no movement on it afaik. It's still sitting there untouched. I've seen nothing that tells me any such nerf / adjustment is actually going to happen or when.
Quote:How do we get CSM's to be candid and open about the ideas that they present?
Ask? Read up on them and learn about their history in EVE so you can better gauge whether or not they are bullshtting you?

WTF? Yeah, that's horrible.
Eternum Praetorian wrote:and good old time tested ideas like "Fix POS's for god's sake!"
You don't have to because pretty much every CSM has said that, including this one.
