Just thought you might like to know that you Vote Matched most highly to my choices. I'm afraid I can't promise you my vote but my fuzzies were warmed by the similarities.
Well done and good luck with the rest of your campaign. |

What Roleplayers and Factional Warfare participants need from CCP is not special snowflake treatment, but the same things every other Eve player needs - interesting, rewarding game mechanics (particularly for lowsec, but also for whatever other areas of the game they occupy) which make them enthusiastic to log in and blow each other up. The Butterfly Effect should be encouraged whenever possible, because what makes Eve special is when non-scripted events take on a momentum of their own and spiral away in ways that nobody could have predicted.
kk, I'll bite. If by "special snowflake treatment" you mean preferential nurturing I agree with you completely. My argument always has been that the butterfly effect washes up on the shores of highsec but does not impact significantly upon it. When it does, we're stuck with it in perpetuity. CCP lead rp events suck because the RP dept is under-resourced and lack the tools to develop and iterate story-lines significantly.
I also believe that CSM6, 7 & 8 will not in any way influence CCP to improve the situation because The Mittani's priorities are different. Even if a RP candidate got in they would be sidelined while 'other stuff' got sorted out.

Nobody in CSM6, and in all likelihood nobody in CSM7 either, is going to jump up and down and demand CCP pour large amounts of resources into creating scripted roleplaying events. But instead, they might well support reworking Empire in general, and FacWar in particular, to have content which makes people want to log in and generate their own content. If you want roleplaying in Eve to grow and thrive, you do so by creating an environment where the next CVA or Ushra'Khan can form and develop identities of their own, not by having GMs leading groups of players around on scripted roleplay safaris.
I really can't fault your argument. I just don't think you and The Mittani realise how intimidating your power block is to people who want to be identified with the NPC empires. |

Besides, I'm not ready to cross swords with the Goons. Give me a few years to take the markets from Jita and place it firmly amongst the free worlds of he Federation. Then we can talk about the real cost of the Goon war machine. |
