I don’t see an issue with the question posed in the above post. I do not feel that “in game death” an obstacle. There is nothing in the rules to prevent the candidate from running for CSM.
Should a candidate be allowed to be threatened in game to relinquish their candidacy?
I have issues with the arguments posed in the thread linked. I have argued in favor of the potential victim.
While at times heated the debate continues to be relatively civil. I hope a better understanding can come about from this exchange on the importance/relevance of RP in the Eve universe.
