A fair ask.
I will see what I can do.

You’ve had your chance, many times now. The CSM as a whole and some on a personal basis. What we want is the CSM to stop because it does nothing, leads to nothing and only creates haves and nothaves.
There is no proof of the CSM doing anything important or useful ever, nothing. All the silliness like the gong, this idiotic jump animation, many of the things that make no sense. Either the CSM wasn’t asked on their input for these changes, they agreed to those changes or they weren’t capable of swaying CCP’s minds on these changes. The end result is nill and going “well you don’t see the stupid ■■■■ we help block” is not good enough.
The CSM is and always has been a farce, it was born as a farce and then instantly got used in more worrying ways than BoB ever was willing or capable of doing when they had CCP on their MSN. It’s a joke and it’s bad.

He’s a lobbyist. That means he uses sweet sweet words to lull people into submission while bending facts and truth, it’s in his job description.

Except all the times CCP said it did, of course.
Like I said, disappointing when folks judge you by your job, not by who you are.
I have often wondered if many folks who seem so outraged at so many aspects of a video game advisory player panel are really using it all as a substitute for their outrage at their or other RL political things they either cannot or feel they cannot change / affect.

Lets say your job is something like bribing politicians on both sides of the aisle so your employers win either way. I’d be pretty secure in judging what kind of person you are based on that.

One of them just made it clear that being wealthy should mean that persons voting rights are worth more than another person and is now asking you to give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s a good guy.

Well yes, and here we have an actual politician we can vent at.
They do shy away from actual criticism in RL you know.

An American politican defending a corrupt CSM system that entrenches power into key blocks while dismissing an HBO historical depiction of his own nation’s struggle for independance from tyranny.
You sir take the cake in absurd arrogance.
Good luck with your car sales man job.

You miss the point: Null sec is organised, because it has to be organised to be facilitate life in nullsec. CSM representation is just a by product of that. One group in the thousands is more likely to get a voice than ten groups in the hundreds, unless they work together.
That’s how most political system work,

If you’d like to see how the votes trickled off via the Single Transferable Vote system I’ve created a recording of my presentation from the announcement, which shows how votes flowed as candidates were eliminated or met the election threshold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMbnOT4PnGk&feature=youtu.be
This is slightly simplified and was made just working backwards with the voting data so there may be small errors - the voting data is the ‘official record’ - but it should serve to give you an idea of how the voting runoff elected the new CSM.

You can make up any kind of negative hypothetical “jobs” and assign them to people all day, doesn’t negate my point.
In EVE, for voting on a focus group, the players who have the most skin in the game - the most Omega accounts - deserve to having increased voting power because they are investing more in the long-term success of the game. Since, after all, the CSM isn’t a legislative body, there’s no fairness issue involved.
In real life, each person is inherently equal, and their choice of who represents them is no more or less valid than anybody else’s. Regardless of whether someone is rich, poor, smart, dumb, educated, uneducated - they each deserve the same say as anybody else in who their leaders are. Thus, one-person-one-vote should be the standard.
I hope that clears up my views for you, since you don’t seem capable of figuring out that EVE and RL are two different things.
You didn’t even get the name of the documentary correct when you told me to go watch it (as if I need an HBO depiction of an event I’ve studied for decades to understand anything), and at no point in our struggle for independence did anybody run for Parliament on the platform of “disband Parliament,” which was the point I was making in the first place.
Come on, dude.
See its like I could have written that script for you, as its what you left your vague response open for.
But its cool, youve made your opinion clear.
Oh sorry, the facts. Because when you say something, tis a fact, and when others point out your deceit, its an opinion. Thats politics right there.
Oh and the point really was that that IS how it works in RL.
Not many unemployed running for office, are there?

My opinions are opinions. My facts are facts.
“All politicians are corrupt” = an opinion.
“The CSM is corrupt” = an opinion.
“Rich people’s votes count more than poor people’s” = an opinion.
All of this stuff is opinion. You saying it doesn’t make it true. My opinion is different. You’re entitled to yours, no matter how poorly it’s crafted or how uninformed.
