It's not even about whether or not you think the current CSM did good things or bad things.

I'm not supporting any platform or agenda or changes to the game

Wow, huge smokescreen attempt here. Suddenly talking about the Mittani and problems associated with his candidacy is suddenly taboo eh? Presumably as it simply disfavours your candidate. You'd have been better leaving the thread as was than applying this BS, especially when in your discussion your opening statements, arguments in the thread and even your closing line all refer to specific candidate references with quite a lot of subjectivity. Such hypocrasy, that you now think to try and quell any objections by simply trying to render them invalid to the points being made. Fooling no-one.



Thread says what makes a good candidate.

If performance, good or bad, or what a candidate's platform or agenda is gives no inclination to what kind of candidate they are. Well then I'm sorry, I think you missed the whole idea of what campaigning is about, since it is an open forum for voters to see the various qualities and values a candidate might posses, so if you fail to see that, then heaven help Goon politics.

Interesting point about the BCs however, having now checked the older minutes further.

Except Mittani said we're getting supercapitals nerfed, then supercapitals got nerfed. Mittani said we're getting time dilation, then we got time dilation. Mittani said we're pushing them to remove the focus from WiS to ships in space and oh hey focus went to ships in space. When people say things, they explain how they're going to push for things, then those things happen, I tend to believe the person did a thing.

Then again, I'm not an idiot pubbie that needs to make up fantasies to justify their hatred of CSM6.

ps maybe this attitude is why your ilk tends to be completely powerless.

The points you bring forward have merit. However I do want to point out a little flaw in your vieuw.

Supercapital nerf wasn't a Mittens idea, there were more entities that wanted them nerfed. No solo prize for Mittens there.

Time dilation was actually an idea of someone else if I recall right it was Trebor. Yet again a falsly placed plume in Mittens rear.

The outrage from the community about the Nex store and as a result the uproar to do more FiS instead of WiS gave mittens a tool to work with, but alas without the communities uproar he would have been shooting blanks.

So overall the peacock is well versed in adoning himself with other people's feathers (I give him credit for being well versed in that department) but actually idea's from him are rather slim.

This thread is not about Mittens.

I'm going to seriouspost a bit. For the record, I'm voting for Mittani.

Really?.. Hmmm. Let us have a look at your original post that started this thread...

What? What is this?? The second sentence in your entire post puts Mittani directly into the spotlight and sets the tone for your entire post and this thread. Surely this must be coincidental right?...

This isn't rocket science.

Time dilation was actually an idea of someone else if I recall right it was Trebor. Yet again a falsly placed plume in Mittens rear.

My entire post is about how the CSM works together to accomplish the goals and you should vote for candidates that can work with other human beings to get things done. The bit about the Mittani is just a disclaimer so you can't pretend I'm secretly trying to manipulate you when in reality I'm just getting the bit about the fact I'm voting for Mittani out of the way.

The fact I talk about being an effective member of the CSM and your mind automatically equivocates it with Mittani, and then you start raging is p funny though.

How about this one.

CSM convenes as usual ->
CSM talks for hours on end CCP falls asleep ->
months later in an unrelated feature that CSM didn't even know was happening CCP fucks up totally ->
CCP comes to CSM to go "wtf happened we accidently our game" ->
CSM creates perception they fixed issue ->
CCP fixes issue ->
CCP decides to release feature at later date with better marketing ->
idiots perceive CSM has power ->
Broken-minded Mittani followers take advantage of that and create perception everyone should keep voting mittani to continue this great power.

A good CSM candidate is a person who pursues changes that are best for the game as a whole and not what is simply best for themselves/corporation/alliance/coalition.

Ok, respond to this again only replace Mittens with CSM because you pubbies keep cherrypicking.

AFAIK, Time Dilation evolved as a solution one of Team Gridlock's long-term goals (as mentioned in the CSM 5 Winter Summit minutes), "GǪto have predictable, graceful degradation under load (i.e. when a node gets overloaded the subsequent behavior is predictable and known to the user)"

Time Dilation was first publicly mentioned by CCP Veritas at the Large Scale Warfare roundtable at Fanfest 2011. Everyone on the CSM agreed it was an excellent idea for a variety of reasons, which is why it became a "spotlight" issue for us; we wanted to make sure that it got the resources and prioritization it deserved, and banged the drum loudly for it at every possible opportunity.

This kind of thing -- making sure CCP makes good prioritization decisions -- is one of the most important functions of CSM.

I actually approve of (most) all of these things you speak of in this thread... You make a MUCH better campaign manager for your candidate than I am doing for mine, The Little Peoples' Choice Skippermonkey :]

Well met sir....if you smell what the little people are cooking...

jesus tittyfucking christ what the hell is that post sidus?
