95% of the player base will not care or even know this is happening.

so?

You need to add the following to the drinking game:

One drink every time someone makes a fat joke, ranging from "you're fat" to "Well, I'm sure you understand the gravity of the situation."

Probably a good thing since our servers will probably start to melt if more than 15,000 people tune in at once.

Sticky or are we going to rely on terrible smack for bumps

Pls se+¦or i have a questions for riverini:

Does his alliance enjoy being camped into their station for 20 hours a day by 15 goons?

We did this? Where? When?

I wonder what issues the candidates will weigh in on.

Yes. Venal. Today, tomorrow and for the past three weeks. Blackops4lyfe

Has this happened yet?

Sorry Riverini, but you need to give up this whole competing for chairman thing. Its just making you look stupid. Not that you need any help making yourself look stupid. You seem to be pretty good at that already,

Are you suggesting that the Mittani will only do a "debate off" with weak candidates then?

post with your main coward

Oh Andski i dont know if you could lick the Mittani's boots any harder.

(Don't remove the label from the bottom that instructs how to pour water out, otherwise he'll never be able to do it by himself should it rain. Do you chew his food as well as take bullets for him also?)

oh look a nobody is trying to talk down to someone better than him

Oh look the Goon thinks he is deflecting problems, and yet fails to see that by answering for someone else he is in fact contradicting his own argument. Not that this suprises me. Or the lack of originality in the pointless comments you continually make about anonymity.

Also CSM Chairman hide behind anonymous minutes much?

you're p delusional if you think anyone listens to forum alts that end up biomassed within a month

WHY IS YOUR MUSIC ****?

This question is for "THE MISSANI" can you please teach Riverini proper english

The most important lesson so far: The CSM does not deliver blowjobs.

Seeing the horrific racism on the Eve radio channel.

Dissapointed.

Wait I thought that was a legitimate bribe.

Agreed - I don't like either of these candidates, but it seemed Eve Radio made fun of the language barrier for what's-his-face.

It may not be entirely fair but someone who intends to represent the community of EvE should at the very least be able to speak English.

Plus if you're going to be in a debate you could get someone to translate for you...

QUESTION: "Riverini, do you think your terrible Mexican accent will affect your chances of getting enough votes?"

QUESTION: "So we know Mittens has a secure voting base to pull from, Riverini where do you expect most of your votes to come from? Do you think they'll be enough to get you on the council?"

Mittani, CSM Chair for life: He wants to send you to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

What has YOUR candidate done for you today?

Can someone do a full transcription of the debate for the deaf members of the voting public?

Thank you to everyone who listened in, the Eve Radio people who worked their asses off behind the scenes keeping the server from imploding, the DJ's and members of CCP who took time out to help keep the communication channels from drowning, and for otherwise just being there, and also to Mittens and Riverini for helping us put on a crazy show tonight.

One Love.

The show should be up on Eve Radio's Rewind Service now, and I imagine there will be a podcast download sometime later.

sound cloud please!

That being said, I agree with riverini's ideas - I just don't think he'll make the best CSM chair. The Mittani is aggressive, cunning - and above all else - dangerously competent.

It is obvious that the Mittani (or however you spell his name) is a better politician. And TBH it seems to me that riverini thinks that the CSM is a place to try to push for your own personal pet projects. Yeah, bounties need to be fixed - but this isn't the CSMs place to fix it. The Mittani has the right idea with the CSM being a sounding board for CCP and a shield to protect the players from boneheaded ideas about space pants.

I wiil not vote for Mittens, as he seems to be using Eve to boost his personal ego.

But to give him credit, he sounds as if he knows what he is talking about.

Take away the overweening ego and his narrow minded factionalism, then Mittens could be a really good CSM7 candidate, for all of Eve.

It's nice to know that the new rookie ship idea came from CSM6, clearly showing they know nothing about the new player base.

Having a newer looking ship that looks COMPLETELY out of place against all other frigates is just stupid. So the first ship the new player buys looks completely different and worse not better than their weak ass rookie ship? WTF!! I would click quit by that point immediately.

however I and several other CSM candidates were blocked from asking any question in the Eve-radio channel, I understand there was issues with spam from supporters,

Goons ruin everything.

Also, seriously guys, tone down the thrashing. I could clearly understand Riverini almost throughout the whole session.

On the audio side, it was clear that Mittani ruled the day,

however I and several other CSM candidates were blocked from asking any question in the Eve-radio channel, I understand there was issues with spam from supporters, but the channel kept getting locked down completely and despite requests to the moderators both in the channel and by other means I was not given the ability to interact.

As for the DJ - Skye has been performing for 5 years now, she started on the wheels of steel when she was 2 years old:

(and her dad has been at it since the mid 80's, he even used to DJ at parties in San Francisco with a certain DJ Malloc who went on to work at CCP)

This is about first impressions though. By the time the newbie has played a few hours to get into their next upgrade ship from the rookie frig, they're much more likely to have decided on whether they like the game and want to continue or not and will overlook the fact that there are other ugly ships later on. Plus, you don't get to choose your rookie ship, so if you're a Minmatar newbie you're getting the hideous Reaper model rubbed in your face whether you like it or not, but if you think the Rifter looks horrible compared to the Vigil or the Breacher you can pick between the T1 frigates on the market for the prettiest option - and when you're a newbie who doesn't know any better, whether you like the look of the model is likely to be one of the things that actually matters. ALL the ship models are going to get overhauled and prettified at some point, but rookie frigs are an option that would almost certainly have been overlooked in favour of sexier options if it hadn't have been bought up by the CSM.

that's a dumb opinion

RVRNI > when they get fooked, they can not blame themselves for not using condoms

Just today I read about a study about how this effect corrupts democracy. Many voters are equally unable to distinguish truly skilled candidates from incompetent ones, and good arguments from merely persuasive ones, and so their votes are based on rationalized but fundamentally emotional knee-jerk reactions. I think I'm seeing a lot of that going on here in Jita Park.

Anyway, regardless of how lopsided and unintentionally hilarious the debate was, Riverini did bring up one good point. EVE is being marketed the wrong way, to the wrong audience. It's a sandbox with incredible depth and complexity that sets it completely apart from all other MMOs, yet they try to sell it as some kind of a flashy spaceship shooter. Anyone joining EVE because they believed what they saw in the promo video is going to be disappointed. Marketing is beyond the scope of the CSM, but I'm glad this was mentioned in such a well-publicized debate that CCP was no doubt listening to.

I think that Riverini's inability to communicate his ideas makes him a poor choice for the CSM, let alone chairman. I'm not advocating discriminating due to someone not speaking English fluently, but in this venue, politics, communication is the job, and he doesn't have the basic skills required

You wouldn't call it discrimination if the bus company refused to hire blind drivers, would you? Of course not, they lack the tools to perform the job. Same deal here. Politics means communication, and in this particular venue it means communicating in English. This is something that riverini is not truly capable of. The nail in the coffin is that he believes he is capable, as this debate was his own idea. This creates a huge gap between what riverini thinks he's saying and has said, and what's actually gotten to the ears of CCP, or in last nights case the other debater, Mittani. Who, obviously a fairly competent individual, was constantly at a loss as to the content of riverini's answers.
