The brochure gives the reason ô because election winners will ultimately make appearances on eve-Tv and eonö. Private Tv and a magazine about fantasy role playing needs real names, really? Seriously, why do we really need to know who they are in real life? ItÆs obvious why CCP needs to know, but why us?
Is it because of game integrity, transparency and accountability? I have a few thoughts regarding this but I can only speculate. Does anyone know the real reason (or reasons) why?
Thank you,

You pretty much answered your own questions
Speculate isn't too big a word for you is it? "I can only speculate" |

Akita, you should go outside, there's things like fresh air which a pale forum ***** like yourself may find useful.
It would be nice to know that they DID do this because of integrity, transparency and accountability, but nowhere have they mentioned this. So instead of speculating, I start this thread and ask the question.

Jade, I already mentioned that, CCP obviously needs to know, but why us? |

We're voting for the player, not the character.
Yes, but how does exposing his or her real identity to the public change who becomes a CSM or not? This is a game, not the Employment Agency or a branch of Real Government. it's entertainment that's fantasy based. Like, not real; so why expose the real identities? |

This has been a great discussion, I appreciate those who gave input and stayed on topic. Now it's my turn to share.
One one hand it seems like this is an attempt to re-build a trusting relationship with the Eve community while simultaneously preserving the things that keep shattering it. To this day, CCP employees playing this game along side us have raised many doubts and suspicions, yet they still don't wear a company name tag in-game.
So, the powerless CSM candidates are duped into revealing their real identity for the sake of what seems to be CCP game character anonymity. The motive seems selfish, and only a select few will actually get picked. At any rate, this place is like a casino, there's much to lose and much to invest, yet you don't see successful casinos letting employees play. The reasons are obvious.
On another hand, this whole thing is just plain stupid to reveal a real life identity in a game full wackos who gleefully bask in others pain. Myself and others I know have received real life threats; now add a face, name and address to that equation. See man, it's just plain stupid.
We have a forum for our voices, this is mine. Ofc, I am only speculating from the information I have available and sharing how I feel. I'm still interested in hearing some REAL reasons why we're stripping these players to the tighty whities. |
