Hey,

I've been sitting here wondering if getting all upset about who might or might not win the CSM elections, and is it really worth the indigestion. I came to a realization it's not.

Ultimately our subscriptions will be the determining factor for CCP. Yeah... the present CSM can claim responsibility of CCP changing direction all they want. Reality is, the falling subscription base is what ultimately got CCPs attention.

So...

We could address all the hate filled comments that came from Mittani and the rest of the CSM and goons as we were unsubbing last year.

We could address how the Goons continue to try and sometimes do scam new comers in the recruiting channel, even though it's against EULA.

We could address how certain members of the CSM have little or no working knowledge of WH mechanics or other game mechanics.
(I certainly don't know all parts of the game. However I don't pretend I do.)

We could address how certain posts disappear per ISD or other moderators after someone points out a RL attack made towards a fellow player by a Goon. Yeah yeah... just a coincidence that you cleaned only one post.

We could address how The Mittani holds people who didn't vote for him last election in contempt and considered usless to him.

We could address a lot of things. But ultimately the only thing we need to remember is that our subscriptions will be what effects CCPs bottom line and ultimately how they proceed with the game.

Sure... the CSM effects the bottom line when you consider the free air fare and luxuries afforded to them to act as puppets for CCP.

I can say that I've never voted in the CSM elections before this year. However, my 5 accounts will be voting this year. No, not for anyone presently holding a CSM tag. I feel they all sat by and reaped the rewards of the ones who unsubbed and now taking credit for something they had nothing to do with other than disdain and the mocking the ones who were unsubbing. Yeah... I was there and I remember being called a lot of names...peasant.

Good luck to all and thank you CCP for making a great game. You just need to get rid of some useless chairs in your offices is all. IMight I recommend removing the puppets in those chairs while you're at it?
