Spacepeople,
the 1% have locked our last dislike bomb because we did spam. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THIS THREAD!
If you post in here, do it with a small essay (at least 20words) why think riverini will make a bad CSM member.
@ISD: If you see spam in this thread please delete it but dont close it, we want a honest discussion in here.
I dont think Riverini will be a good CSM member because his plattform is one of hate and spite. While candidates might disagree on the issues they should not resort to ad hominem attacks like riverini. He has an hatred for Mittani because Mittani curbstumbed him (his alliance) a few times.
Every like to this post shall count as a dislike to riverini! |

I'm not sure that anybody lucky enough to get drunk while they are still a fetus can be suffering.

Another reason why i dont like riverini as a csm member:
His alliance is terrible at timing towers, this means he is terrible at timing which means he will not get the flight to iceland/be late for the meetings. This could delay very important work for no good reason |

I think Riverini's problems go far beyond being weirdly obsessed with the CFC and The Mittani.
Riverini desperately desires to be an influential individual in nullsec politics, and perhaps an EvE influence peddler in general. However, rather than rising through the ranks of an established alliance or building up a new, upstart alliance, he has chosen the path of the pundit and sought to build an influential readership to make his mark by manipulating public perception. You can see this in his ham-handed attempts to sow dissent in the CFC.
This, of course, requires quite a bit more artistry than he is capable of, and I suspect he has come to realize this. Thus we see his bid for the CSM, which will give him a whole new set of influence peddling opportunities.
As for his creepy obsessive hate for the CFC and The Mittani, I think it would turn into creepy obsessive adoration and buttkissing in an instant if The Mittani would give him the time of day, regardless of any past curbstompings.

A very good post. Thank you good sir for that.

The sad part is if he actually used Evenews24 as an actual for-real news site instead of a propaganda ego-****, he probably would be in a position to be hugely popular.
Take a look at the massive battle in OP9Z yesterday - that's got all the stuff 0.0 stories are made of. 1000+ pilots per side, a crazy long epic slugfest that actually functioned (what a great ad for TiDi right there, that it even let the majority* of everyone involved have a chance to participate instead of crashing out and hoping the battle worked out). Crazy bombing runs, being able to get back in and keep fighting even if you lost a ship, all of that good stuff. Either way, a solid example of the kind of thing you just can't get in other games.
He doesn't write about that, though. Instead, you get LOL GOONIES LOST HOW CAN THEY KEEP LOSING THESE SHIPS** ps screw mittani. Don't get me wrong, for a one-sided dirt rag or a crappy blog, it's about par for the course, but for someone who even pretends to be news? What a missed opportunity. Imagine an alternate universe where he'd written about how nuts the battle was, how playable it was (from both sides, instead of just his allies). It's the type of story that could straight-up be used to sell the game, the type of thing CCP should be putting on their frontpage as an example of what you can do here (and can't do in other games). Imagine going into a CSM campaign with that on your back? He'd be a lock for a top 7 spot and probably even have a shot at chairman after that.
I guess anyone thinking of wasting a vote on someone like this should ask yourself: do you really want someone that short-sighted as one of the 7? Do you really think someone so childish that he'll burn opportunities like that just to "get back" at anyone will be able to sit with 6 other players who may not be on his side and work with them? There's a lot of candidates this time around, but he and Xenuria are the only two that would actively HURT the CSM if elected.
Really, if you just want giggles, there's far better joke candidates out there already. There's zero upside here, for anyone involved.
* I wasn't there so I can't personally attest to how well it performed, but the lack of complaints about being able to actually *do thangs* is a positive sign
** Please don't turn this into a who won/who lost that battle as it's immaterial to my point. Even trying to argue how you'd decide who won and who lost a battle like that could be a topic of discussion in and of itself, and it's worthless to have it here. |

Once upon a time someone might or might not have attempted to scam some hard working pubbies.
Once upon a time Riverini posted every word of the attempt as factual "Intel" without checking even a single one of the presented "facts" that were being used.
I use the term once loosely. |

One issue I have not seen discussed is Riverini's potential impact on CCP's CSM-related travel budget. Should Riverini win a seat on the council, CCP will likely be forced to purchase two plane tickets to accommodate his bulk. As you can see in the photos below, this is a serious concern. I believe CCP should disqualify Riverini from the CSM on this basis.

No, just his Snot Shot posting on CAOD in which "goon pet meatshield farming" has become a tired refrain, and his gleeful en24 c/p of that FCON/FA incident from a while back like it was some kind of big deal.
Also if those pictures are him then he should be running for two seats on the council.

Goon pranks and trolls are generally funnier (at least to us) and involve substantially less effort. Now if CCP Phantom turned out to be a goon troll, that would be epic.

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.

Please enlighten me, where do i find this unbiased news on that blog?
You mean battlereports? Well they are unbiased, but the selection of battles to be report on is very biased.

Another thing is if Riverini gets his position, will he give up his contribution to EveNews24 other than to post about his contribution to the CSM team? The reason why I'm saying this is because of the fact that if Darius III leaked NDA stuff to Riverini, what makes us so sure that Riverini will not do the same? |

You had to ask this question? What about the CSM3 guy that acted on information that was under NDA and he had to be removed when he abused the trust that he was given?
http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=692
Riverini posted NDA information instead of suppressing it. If the subject matter was something related to the game and a critical change to how it worked, CCP would have acted on every legal method available to them to suppress that information and prevent further abuse of information. |

I was under the impression that CCP looked into the accusations of NDA violation and closed the case. So either they were without substance and you should drop that part of your argument or riverini has compromising photos of devs and we should elect hi given the power he already wields. But I won't be voting for him. Just because the Goons dislike someone does not put them ahead or behind in my books |
