Doesn't the publication on your website of guides on how to bot exclude you from CSM eligibility?

Player acquisition and retention is the key to Eve OnlineGÇÖs long term future. This would mean more players, frequent fights, increased scams, more antics and overall increased gameplay. In short, an expansion of the sandbox itself. If you donGÇÖt care about it, you donGÇÖt care about the game at all.

PVE needs a complete overhaul. Needs to be re-invented and made actually fun to run it. It should involve more than a single player and his alt. Mining, the bastard child of PVE needs a well deserved iteration, I have a couple of ideas to make those hulk skills worthy once again but over-all mining should be fun.

So what exactly IS your proposition? What kind of idea do you have in mind to attract more players and increased game play?

what is your stance on you being awful

how will you maintain the CSM NDA and still be a "effective editor/journalist".

In the past your site did contain content covered by the NDA

I am sad that there is no dislike or downvote possible here

Breaking a signed NDA is a prosecution felony in my country. So don't high your hopes on me breaking an NDA.

what is your stance on leaking information covered by the NDA told to you in secrecy by a CSM member of this current administration

What is this "NDA" of which you speak?

A couple of questions:

How will your ego interfere with your work on the CSM?
Do you actually think you are as important as your OP states?
Why do you run for CSM? While the OP clearly states your policies, I fail to see any real reasoning behind your application.

Through your "blog" evenews24.com, you have often displayed that you are a very emotional person, led by your hate and struggle for revenge against the CFC, more interested in pleasing your ego by increasing the number of your readers than the actual news themselves. How do you think this will affect you in a CSM position?

Considering how evenews24 is always late with reporting stuff, often several weeks, don't you think this will be a disadvantage in the CSM, if you don't know what's going on until it is too late?

Don't you think, that the tabloid format of evenews24 attracts 12 year old WoW-playing, uneducated pubbies, the one category of players we don't want in this game? Will this reflect your stances on CSM questions?

I also have a request:

Compare yourself to a baboon, please, and list differences and similarities.

So what exactly IS your proposition? What kind of idea do you have in mind to attract more players and increased game play?

BIG WHAT IF
What if once a year CCP would let you redistribute a good chunk of your skill point? Am not calling for all skillpoint to be redistributed (I held the believe that each character needs to be unique skill-wise to some extend), but a percentage of it to be inversely proportional to the total amount of skillpoints. And this is just an idea I believe could work to grip players until they find their game.

for starts, I feel the fourteen days is simply too short for a player to fall enamored with the beauty of the game. I also propose Incarna to be put to some good use and be branded as a perpetual free to play feature with docking, chat and skill-point training restrictions.

Am even willing to explore the idea of letting sub 2mil SP players to play as real belt-rats in an arcade like mode, for them to get a feeling on how the game works.

Prior to the Crucible release, I prepared what could have been the biggest bombshell to EVE Online: an almost risk free botting guide.

LOLOL U NUBZ I WAZN'T SERIUS ABT RUNNING I WUZ JUST TROLLING U BECUZ NOW U HAD TO WASTE UR TIME MAKING FUN OF ME!

Riverini, I would vote for you, just because, if you get on the CSM, it would **** off Mittens to no end. That is worth it to me.

+1 like. This should be hilarious. All the Mittens supporters (a group I number myself in) should be aware that Riverini can win the chairmanship. The vast majority of EVE players live in high sec, most detest the goons, and many realize that Null botting is rampant. With the platform of Evenews24, from which Riv has gained quite abit of notoriety, and a very good central issue, he will be a significant threat to unseat The Mittani.

Quoting for Truth. Just check the amount of butt-hurt DekCo comments in this thread.

a Sign of things to come. If the ice interdiction is to backfire, this is when.

Considering that the majority of EVE players call his site any variant of "GoonNews24" it's kinda an uphill battle for him, heh~

Really, you are that deluded?

Still slow boating to 100 likes, this is the one true candidate to dethrone Mittens for sure.

The hard work that you see every day in Eve News24 is the fruit of labour of many collaborators GÇô hundreds of like minded individuals who feel that what we do is a service to the EVE Online community.

Since being a journalist and being a politician don't mix for obvious reasons I take it, that you are stepping down from your position at Evenews?

Also you admitted before that you profited through the information you got on evenews before you released the article, why should anyone trust, that you won't do it again?

And also this

Regarding the ********** issue, were someone posted three chatlines on my anonymous dropbox which then were attributed to Darious III, I sent a clarification to CCP Games. AFAIK The steadfastness from which Two Steps hurried up to "report" the issue with CCP GMs raised the suspicions of being an elaborate ploy to frame Darius III.

The information wasn't sensitive at all, and the Goons did a big deal of the issue just as you attempt to do now. CCP Games have since dismissed the issue, proof of it is Darious the third not only being kept on the CSM but getting to run again.

I sent a full disclosure to CCP Games the same day along mail headers and screenshots.

to the others guys quoting, thanks for the bumps. Hence my late reply.

I love dogs and hate cats.

I'd give anyone the Goons hate as much as you some consideration, but:

took you out of the running.

Oh good, I love it when e-celebrities overestimate their popularity and get a reality check.

..snip..

By focusing myself with in-game content, which is the killer app of EN24, i'll stay off the NDA minefield.

Eve if I were to write an opinion piece on a pressing matter, am sure the CCP Games folks would be more than willing to review the issue.

But again, the blogger initiative ensures Eve News24 independence on opinion issues.

See guys if he gets on the CSM he can just leak NDA'd content without paying a source.

I think you are possibly the worst candidate this year, you are full of **** and everyone would be doing themselves a favor voting for any other candidate.

Internet news is serious buisness: NDAs aren't. You dumbass he (be it D3 or not doesn't matter) violated an NDA, reguardless of what was contained in the logs it was a violation of an NDA. it could have been "[time stamp (lol the timestamp is in d3's tz)] D3: o7 m8s" and thats still a big deal because that is still protected under an NDA.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you are unbelievably stupid, oh and keep shooting yourself in the foot tia.

if d3 had breached any kind of NDA he would of been removed from his post and possibly the game
neither happened...it turned out to be goonhurfblurf because.....well hes still here isnt he....

Riverini, you posted battle reports without fact checking them, amongst other crimes against journalism. If you can't even ensure the basic factuality of your website, how will you help improve Eve Online?

lol there is more goon and pets coments that in mittani threads

After much review and a heavy heart, I feel that I must weigh in on the issue of Riverini's candidacy. It seems that Riverini may not be qualified to rise above the enormous issues that we face in the coming year and as much as I like to lift him above the other candidates, I simply cannot support him in his giant endeavor. I know that his announcement post is larger than life and I really do believe that he means well but I would prefer him to stay a unbiased, non-objective party as a news reporter rather than blubbering his way through politics. In short, it would be a crime and a disservice to allow Riverini to have his cake and eat it too.

Potato chips are okay though.

Sorry Riverini, you may be well rounded but I do not believe that you can fit into the CSM. Please do what you are best at, which is reporting the news. We will continue to feed you tasty morsels at extremely regular intervals so you never go hungry for action.

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.

What is your stance on obesity?

Which do you prefer, KFC or McDonald's?

If you get elected, how will you make it worth the four plane tickets needed for the round trip?

Well I am Obese, I have a glandular problems (thyroids) and I don't feel ashamed to talk about it.

nd follow that up with posts about...how people are "butthurt" (Christ if there was ever a term that needs retiring...)

Yeah, I bet that back when you were 10, your mother told you it was baby fat and big bones.

It has, by everybody except Riverini. He still thinks it's clever to add 'cats' to the end of any fleet doctrine, too.

Censorship much. Do you want this oppressive behaviour on the CSM? You had your chance...

Advertising is not allowed on the comments.

Nice try.

There are two side to EN24. The Riverini op-ed side of the site. And the Bagehi unbiased news reporting side of the site. News sites need both.

I like Riverini, even if his articles are sometimes hard to read/follow. All my interactions with him have been positive. I'd like to see him on the CSM.

If you weren't a **** I might consider voting for you.


Love Hayden.

Az has now been IP banned from EVE News 24. So. Much. Rivirage.

A billion controversial questions and no answers. This kind of bullshit might fly in the Democrat/Republican Primaries but it doesn't really sit with Eve players.

You want votes? Start answering the Goons. I don't give a rat's *** what you think about them. They raised legitimate concerns over your conduct in the past and you've dodged every single one of them.

riverini's photo makes me want to punch Mittens in the face.

Nice post and good luck with CSM7 I'm sure you will do well, but your MT statement is incorrect and this issue was highlighted way before the Jita riots started - during CSM5 in 2010. You may have helped to pass on the message and garner support but the ball had already been rolling for some time with way more supporters already onto this topic far before the riots started. The documents from CCP did help get peeps riled and active into jita though - even if half of them had no clue as to why they were rioting (some I talked to were pissed that there were so many **** options in the Nex store).

You've fallen so far Stanziel.

You are seriously overselling yourself here. First of all noone entrusted you to be the news source, you were basically the ONLY news source that covers all the important events, and thats why people are flocking to evenews24 despite bad grammar and bad journalism. (btw you are actually doing a really nice job with your graphic banners and so on)

Props for the banners. Some of them.

But you're lacking in terms of non-biased reporting. Many of the other writers on the site have repeatedly given battle reports and updates of their own alliances being curb stomped or come under fire by internal or external drama and leaks. Whereas we've seen little to nothing of the alliances you've claimed loyalty to in any sort of negative light, less it be by another reporter.

Sorry but I can't vote for someone whose done little to nothing for the game itself. True you created EN24, but at the cost of setting yourself up for an eternal lashing post. Mittens has his issues, but at this current time I strongly believe the fact that he's a complete *** has caused EvE to be what it is now. Six months ago players cringed and hesitated to log in. Crucible brought the end to that. EvE is a fun game. A terrible game. But fun all the same.

Dovibus say what?

beep ******* beep.

True you created EN24

I will support Riverini. I think he speaks for more players then Mittani and has the fame that is needed to remove Mittani from the chairman position. I still don't know the plan that Mittani has for EVE.. but i'm pretty sure it only involves whats good for Goons. I feel that Mittani underestimate us as players.. his corrupt, arrogant and dishonest and ofc his a goon. The funny thing is that the last year Mittani has done his best to flip the common view of Goons. Mittani has taken the place of a hero and i my option has stolen most of the credits for the changes that has been made. I'm surprised that so many players actually buy into the crap his saying and the propaganda that he gets out. When he doesn't think you see him then he speaks what he really thinks about himself and the power he has and its not a very pretty view. Having that kind of person as chairman of CSM will damage it. I still have to say that Mittani has a place on CSM but not as chairman.

ITT, Goons and pets deserately try to derail Riverini's candidacy. What a surprise. I bet they've been told to go and sh*t this thread up as well.

Enough of the "Chairman for Life" rubbish; it's time to Stop The Smug.

Edit: En24 is a refreshing break from the pro-Goon propagnda that k.com and fhc are.

How do you feel about CCP linking to Lovelocke's site in their devblog?

But it goes beyond that for me. Having flown with Riverini quite a lot over the last 8 months, I can quite say that despite him being kind of bad at Eve (sorry Riv), he's very passionate and enthusiastic about the game and every aspect of it - even those that don't affect him directly. He loves Eve Online as much as anyone possibly can, and he really does care about the health of our beloved sandbox as well as that of CCP, realizing one can't exist without the other. I've listened to ideas and propositions he's made - even before this current CSM race. Say what you will about EN24 and the cries of "bias" that run rampant, I believe he truly has the best interests of ALL players at heart with his current CSM candidacy.

An autistic fixation is not the same as a passionate interest in a subject.

The irony here being that you quoted my entire post except my opening sentence. By doing that, you simply drove home the point that first sentence conveyed.

Good work sir.

Post horribly fail intel to EVENews 24
Watch as Riverini turns it into a 3 page expos+¿.

The CSM of my heart.

By reading this thread (did i loose IQ?) , i have realized that with this much goon hate (love?) directed towards him, one can only want to support Riverini!!!

Whatever happened to impartiality of the press?

Are you going to step down from EN24 if you get voted to the CSM?

If you were it would be tempting to vote for you

Wouldn't a position in the CSM prevent EVE News 24 to publish content that sets CCP in a unfavorable light?

Whatever happened to impartiality of the press?

Are you going to step down from EN24 if you get voted to the CSM?

I think the plan is that I do the CSM interviews section on EN24 for CSM 7. I will be as impartial as possible.

your obligation as a journalist to report true and complete information to the public?

Are we discussing some other Riverini here?

At least you don't have him in your fleet chat, I mean jesus help me.

Never too late to defect.

Serious Business Question:

Riverini, you are accused of openly and unabashedly using all information you are provided as "Intel" both regarding in and out of game subjects related to Eve Online. How can anyone trust you, including CCP, to maintain your obligations to the NDA you are required to sign if you should win a seat on CSM 7?

A follow up: Would you not, upon signing an NDA, be willfully neglecting your obligation as a journalist to report true and complete information to the public?

You have my vote anyway, anything to **** off a goon

I hereby propose that Riverini should fuse with Lyris Nairn to create the ultimate pubbie whisperer CSM candidate.

Lyris Nairn would sink great hooks into his folds and ride him like a sandworm straight into the CCP HQ.
