Oh, that's right! Nobody at CCP EVER leaks any information, ever. Just ask Hilmar about that................

I read your post, very interesting analysis and opinion and I was clearly about to /sign.

Then I just remembered Prencleeve video, the RL threats and comments about Alex RL information and I can't sign any more.

By the way, CSM candidates should not even have to present themselves IRL for this very same reason. Does CCP guard or another CCP member tells you his RL name, tells you his RL life CV whatsoever? -no, and if they do it's a big mistake.

This is an internet video game, where internet anonymous nerds do whatever/whatsoever from killing pixels to act like pedos, threat people RL, bullie, have racist comments more often than they say hello to someone else, girls don't exist or they're gay/played by men, most guys are gay, and so on and so forth.

So because of the above, I can't agree with you, this can take proportions that go beyond reason.

Wow. The amount of Goons and other NullBears posting as opposed to 'Carebears' is again very revealing.

Something is fishy.

I agree, but I would like to amend your proposal. Any CSM delegate - or an EVE Online player for that matter - that discloses personal information pertaining another player, or if he or she commits an act - both in-game or OCC - that is illegal (like inciting to suicide), should be banned permanently. Reporting the crime to authorities by CCP should be mandatory.

Signed

Anyone whos ever heard of the one corp who went to a dudes house just to kill his power to kill his supercap needs to sign this (this isnt a made up story)

You know the risks of losing the anonymity shield going in.

I don't support this. If someone wants to be among the few representing the entire player-base, and have such perks as an all-expense paid trip to Iceland, they can do us the courtesy of revealing such basic information as their name and country of residence. For me, it is more the principle here. I could maybe get behind striking their country, but not their name. I think running for CSM should involve opening up to the playerbase enough to share their real name.

More or less,

Note that its goon supporters and pets/alts that are pushing this.


It also opens the door for fraud against the voting players.

Way to cherry pick the arguments you reply to... At least you implicitly agreed that it would be impossible to guarantee a candidates anonymity.

Now onto the argument you did reply to: It doesn't suit your proposal, but for most part the line between game in RL is a blurry one. And unless you see it from a RPing perspective, the CSM are RL player representatives, not of in-game characters. In fact, apart from their interest focus, very little of the CSM is not RL.

Also, tell me more about your paranoia about people that would prefer representatives to drop anonymity. Do you think it doesn't add accountability or do you not want that? The latter is only of concern for people that intend to **** people off, in which case you shouldn't be in the CSM (or do you disagree with that as well?).
