If you can't see the need to keep significant game changes under wraps so everyone has an equal shot at making the best of them, than you are a fool.
I happen to think you know better, and that this statement is BS just to placate players.
Way to kick a necessary but unpopular measure exclusively into CCP's court.
Your either a little kid or a liar... maybe both. In any event, statements like yours severely undermine the credibility of the CSM. ALL GëívGëí Ships | Odd-áGëívGëí Items | <-- Links to showInfo in-game |

Zirise wrote:Your concerns are pretty funny; The Mittani will most likely be elected for CSM 7 if he runs, I think most people find he's doing an awesome job at holding CCP's feet to the fire. But carry on failing at waging political forum wars making yourself look bad, its fun to watch. I don't care how I "look". I just want to see EvE get better.
In my mind a good CSM representative has the mind of a software engineer and the heart of a sci-fi dreamer. Mitt seems to simply be an alliance type that could generate a lot of thoughtless support. I have no doubt he'll be re-elected, should he be inclined to run again. ...but if you are unable to 'step out of your pod' to discuss game design I think you're going to be pretty inefficient in generating constructive action. I think the failure to differentiate what makes a good alliance head in-game and what makes a great game designer is problematic, and my opinion of the mit quote above reflects that. There's no political motivation here. I have never really cared about 'game politics'... it's not my game.
If Mit even reads it I would hope he would reflect on it... because he is in a position to effect positive change. I'm not looking for a response... just consideration. However, I suspect he'll just react if anything at all.... but that is a rough call since all I know about him is what he's written about the CSM. Roll playing is for in-game. I think the CSM would do well to keep RP there... It's an observation. My 2 isk. ALL GëívGëí Ships | Odd-áGëívGëí Items | <-- Links to showInfo in-game |

Maimakterion wrote:What are you smoking? Why would a CSM rep need either one of those when their job is to bring their constituent's concerns up to CCP? ...* ...um ...because video games are programmed in real life, not a fictional game universe? How do YOU think games come into being? Real life game design requires real-world programming talent and abstract vision. If you want real world results for a fictional universe, your need some real life skills... pretend internet spaceship skills are not enough.

Bit of a stretch don't you think... I think you are making up stuff now. I never suggested any such thing. I merely stated he has influence... which he does.
Maimakterion wrote:If you think Goons are roleplaying, you are beyond help. Please go back to camping your lowsec gate and never post again. There's roll-playing in terms of Amarr vs Minmatar, which some people do, and there's roll-playing in terms of "I'm in a spaceship... in space... doing stuff..." which is what the rest do. You are roll-playing if you play EvE, one way or another. I think you have spent so much time in your "spaceship" that you can't even see that... thus illustrating the point of my entire argument. Thanks for clarifying things...
Welp... back to my lowsec camp. ALL GëívGëí Ships | Odd-áGëívGëí Items | <-- Links to showInfo in-game |

I hope Iceland has a "too big to fail" policy in their country too... Sorry, I mistyped my comment, I added "public" in "public admission of failure". They'll admit to us they f..ked up allright, but doing so in public is different. (Hey, who likes that). Well that's a relief. If they will at least admit internally when they are fu**ing up that's fine... at least they will do that. I would rather be in the dark but know they will admit mistakes and not be afraid to correct course than to be in the know with a broken company...

Ever since I started playing this game there's been a lot of back and forth between players... but with the dropping sub numbers and worse the dropping player numbers on the servers and nothing really worthwhile in near-term sight... I think you are right on about that. It's really a first for the community I think.
...wonder if it will matter.
I like the game. ...but I'm not committed to the game.
CCP should be. They get paid. I, conversely, do not.

Even if it's commonplace, it annoys me. A bit of 'we ****** up, we know it' realtalk with the players would go a long way towards restoring trust.
Except it doesnt: see hereWell the posts other than the ones that read "oh its ok, you admitted it" but those are usually also the guys that do the same thing WHENEVER CCP screws up "Its OK get back to work" *cheery smile*
All I read there was "We didn't get to it. We quit. Sorries." ALL GëívGëí Ships | Odd-áGëívGëí Items | <-- Links to showInfo in-game |

Zinyai wrote:Oust The Mittani from CSM. We don't need his arrogance! I was thinking the same thing yesterday.... he certainly is arrogant and obnoxious... but this morning I was coding a payment gateway for a website, and I stepped out, had a cigarette, and changed my mind. Here's why:
Mit is obnoxious.
...but CCP has ignored the core gameplay for 2 years-ish now. Dominion was never improved upon. PI is like a Zynga facebook game but more boring (no I don't play them). Incarna was released w/ one captains quarters, and none of the social interaction they promised (yah yah it's coming at the end of the year or soon or whateverthehell). I mean... what happened to grand developments like Apocrypha? I mean when I see people in the forums asking for FiS stuff no one even THINKS one the scale of Revelations anymore because it's a forgone conclusion that CCP isn't capable of that kind of development anymore. I'm not happy about it... and I can't do anything about it. So in a way, Mit is kind of a community weapon to deploy to CCP. Now THEY have to deal with his arrogance. It actually kind of makes sense to me... if you want to present a stoic and solitary middle finger to CCP, who better to send than lord of the Goons? With that in mind, I've actually done a complete 180 on the matter.
F*** it.
Mit for CSM7.
