Hilmar Petursson, CCPÆs chief executive, said in a telephone interview. ôEve Online is not a computer game. It is an emerging nation, and we have to address it like a nation being accused of corruption...
where you announce your candidacy, and if you win the election, they come here to Iceland, and they can look at every nook and cranny and get to see that we are here to run this company on a professional basis

How can I be expected to support the CSM when its chair more than willingly enters in to a name-calling fest on the forums? I know its heresy to make RL to eve comparisons, but have you ever seen your President / Prime Minister get into a shouting match with a  heckler?
I agree. You can't.
And it has been pointed out so many times. It's quite tragic. But I think it's important to point out, just because he is the chairman, it doesn't m
ean he represent the CSM as a whole.
It should be noted however, that CSM members are Human, and are not paid enough to have to maintain some sort of Mother Teresa saintliness.
Most are simply slightly naive individuals who craved closer contact with ccp, wanted to make beer jokes with wrangler on the friday and simper up to Eris on the saturday.
They thought they would get a free holiday, maybe a ccp mug and bumbag (for sale 45.99 in the ccp online shop - reserve yours today) and come back home to tick a few boxes and fill in the paperwork.
Cunningly though, CCP turned them into a massive scapegoat. For the cost of a couple of plane tickets, they got the ultimate answer
CCP NERF THIS... speak to the CSM they are your elected gobetween
CCP FIX THIS... speak to the CSM they are your elected gobetween
No complaint about in game mechanics can now be leveled at CCP - As we have a player go between we should be speaking to.
ITs genius really, the CSM turned from a potentially awkward "corruption checking squad" (as CCP told the new york times it would be) to a nice Buffer Scapegoat between CCP and the militant playerbase.

1. The "nano-nerf" implications as per dev blog - Popular Issue
CSM voted 4-4 not to escalate or make any kind of collective statement on the current speed patch on SISI.
Your finished.
You dont support the most popular issues youve ever had.
Resign now and save face
