Regardless of the outcome, the moral of the story is:
- RP is fine, gratuitous egomania is not (this alone earns you a death sentence)
- RP on CSM is fine as long as you take it seriously: an immense amount of OOC is necessary for campaigning/player interactions/CSM duties so 99% RP isn’t going to work, and candidates should always run on qualifications and an actual platform instead running based on personality/RP or for their vanity.
- Hardcore RPers should be careful what RP confines they set for themselves with (ie. “I’ll biomass my char if I get podded”)… because they might bite them in the ass later, especially if they run for CSM!
If OOC Komi ever rolls out a new char… honestly, I wish them well. I want them to be successful both in RP and in EVE (I have no personal grudge against them), but without the egomania and kept outside of CSM where they are grossly unqualified.
