While I was posting Seleene made some very poised and polite comments. Nonetheless, I feel it is necessary for me to chime in because you asked me to.

If the rest of the CSM 7 can't find it in themselves to take a stand then I wonder how they think they deserve their position in the CSM.
Not only do I find this comment to be the furthest thing from constructive, I find it deeply offensive as both a member of CSM 6 and CSM 7. Previous incarnations of the CSM proved that when the CSM act as a disjointed set of individuals, very little is achieved. However, as CSM 6 illustrated, when they step off the soap box to actually communicate with one another and act with a united front, they are able to make waves.
While you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, it is downright shameful for you to pass judgement onto CSM members while you are the only one who has yet to join in the Skype channel and the only one who is not involved in our communication.

I knew this would further polarize any opinions about me but I didn't sign up for this to win some sort of popularity contest. I did this to server the players of Eve and it looks to me like a lot of them want more than just a "I'm sorry, I was drunk and was an asshat, can we hug and make up, I swear I'll never do it again".
I really looked forward to working with Mittens, by all accounts he is very effective in the CSM and I wanted to see how the "new" structure of the CSM worked compared to the older and less effective model I was involved in.
Here is one final point. The original purpose if the CSM was to make sure that the players had direct representation when scandals in Eve occurred. To give the player's a voice when scandals happen. If this isn't a scandal then I'm confused about the meaning of the word.
We do agree that the CSM is not a "popularity contest" and it is in fact best utilized as a communication tool between the players and CCP. Going out as a lone wolf with a megaphone and a soap box is fine as an individual, but while representing a greater body tact and communication are vital. I look forward to working with you, but please take the leap and join us so you can communicate with the CSM without blindly throwing us under the bus.
The most active in-game of any CSM, ever!
Vote Elise Randolph for CSM 7, there is no substitute for activity! |
