Hi Riverini, I'm gonna play the straight man and ask some questions and offer comments about your campaign post. You start off by talking about "bitter vet" players here:
Quote:About a year and a half ago, Czech Lion and I grew tired of the so called GÇÿbitter-vetGÇÖ attitude some people tended to have on various forums and, having the premise that real life already delivers a harmful dose of bad vibes, we decided to keep the bad mojo at minimum within Eve News 24. This stems from the cold reality that at the end of it all, Eve Online will always be a game, and as such it should be played for the fun of it. I do not believe in the GÇÿbitter-vetGÇÖ attitude, and find it to be little more than a shameless facade some guys would like to hide behind.
In your first paragraph, you go on the attack against a group of Eve players that you disagree with. Is this a "receipt" for harassment you've received by players in game or posters on other forums? It starts your campaign off on a hostile note and worries me that your entire point in this exercise may be to troll other community members and be disruptive to the CSM process.
In your second paragraph, you speak of your work with EveNews24, and it's influence on the community. More specifically, YOUR influence on the Eve community. Self-aggrandizing speech is hardly new in politics, but it needs to be tempered with at least a small amount of humility(real or not). You also claim that you have become one of the most polarizing figures in the community. Istvaan Shogaatsu was polarizing. Ginger Magician was polarizing. SirMolle was polarizing. The Mittani is polarizing. No doubt you have your friends and enemies, but this reeks of more exaggeration of your own importance in the player lore of Eve.
That you make the absurd claim that you were a major architect of the Monoclegate situation is the most startling example of this. Your points about RMT in Eve are more of this silliness.
After we explore the glory that is Riverini, you post some vague ideas about what you want to bring to CCP as a member of the CSM, and follow that up with posts about...how people are "butthurt" (Christ if there was ever a term that needs retiring...) and more vague and unformed ideas about changes you'd like to see implemented.
Basically, what are you offering to the Eve community, other than a chance to share in what appears to be an ego stroking exercise, lashing out at other players, and unformed ideas about what should be implemented into the game? Can you flesh out some of these ideas for us? |
