> [@Tharshe\_Bloes](#): > > The question isn’t _who_ makes the rules but if the rules are fair or not. From my point of view EVE is pretty fair, more than other MMOs I played before. I have no complaint on how the game is run. Highsec is its own Endgame. You live in null, right? In high, we have null megacoalitions all around us, flying freely as they please. Meanwhile, the actual residents of hisec, not supplied with the vast riches and numbers of null living, have businesses and game lives that are crushed by blobs and economics designed against us. These game mechanics simply turn our homeland into a recruitment ground, a playground, and a tax generator for null… which makes you the benefactor, no? Is this why you see no issues? Fair? I’m not saying null shouldn’t be the top of the game, or that it shouldn’t be richer and bigger, or they don’t deserve the things they fight for. The difference between us is not respected. Instead, we have blobs that smash a single building, where there was no building before, instead of fighting an actual war, **fly home** , and call it a win. You live in Rome, we live in the Viet Cong. ---

Bah, that’s not the attitude, make a poorly informed decision, like the rest of us, essentially a dice roll for which volunteers get a crack at the job, it’s unlikely to be worse than any other method of selecting the CSM. ---

The candidates believe it or not, is actually FORCED to post here their campaign stuff… afterwards they post wherever. usually on Eve Discord or whatever other method they wish to use. I think they have their own discord too.. ---

I don’t care. Nobody will be voted ‘that cares about solo gameplay’. There have been no major changes to missions or exploration for decades. There have been no good FW changes that take action against the awoxers either. There’s also no love for highsec, while the 00 maggots live the best life in their blue Dounat and can’t even stand it when a single explorer enters their territory. So I don’t give a ■■■■. ---
