Questioning an openly hostile candidate, that has apparently mastered the arts of avoiding the question and casting baseless aspersions on the character of others, is not trolling.

Avoiding the question and casting baseless aspersions on the character of others on the other hand…

You’re allowed to believe what you want. You’re also allowed to be wrong.

Though I’ll will pass it on to the rest. I’m rather flattered you think our afternoon of goofing off and coming up with silly campaign positions for people is too good to be ‘donated’.

You nonetheless preconstructed the site, and then donated it to him.

Who did the content specific to his profile and “3 Part Plan”?

Here are some quotable things I have said. Use as you see fit.

“Hardeners on, broadcast for reps, broadcast or you will die.”  
“All caps, boost capacitor now!”  
“Don’t broadcast for bomb damage you knuckleheads!”  
“DPS comms is the worst.”  
“This is why shield reps are better than armor.”  
“Ice cubes in whiskey is the best.”  
“Time in red cycle in fleet chat please.”  
“Wear socks.”

The great thing about a CMS site is when someone starts looking to put decent content up you hand them an account and say “go to it”.

That part is all Brisc.

Our (STK’s) stuff was all otters, memes, and jokes not fit for human consumption.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve got Brisc’s back if he needs us. He’s the one with all the campaign experience though.

Edit: He’s also the only one of us insane enough to put in all the real effort / work.

You’ve accused me of being incompetent.

You’ve accused me of unethical behavior.

You have called me a troll.

I hope it doesnt have to be disbandment, but judging by 3 CSM trolling a candidate here, I think it may have to be.

“Replacing” CSM is not an option thereafter. But to fulfill the player/CCP feedback system, focus groups are a well tested and proven option.

> Do any other gaming companies out there have a replacement as an example?

Focus groups are the industry standard, afaik.  
That and more player/staff interaction via forums.

> [@Maddy\_Zabbara](#):
>
> How do you expect to mobilize the “Silent Majority” of eve Players in order to get yourself elected?

I have several ideas atm, but I wont reveal them early so as to not provide trolls/CSM benefciaries advance notice.

> [@Maddy\_Zabbara](#):
>
> Are you aware of how the STV system works and what it would take to be elected? (

STV does not account for non-voters, whom do so because they think/feel nobody represents them on the ballot to change the system.  
No election system does.

My aim is to provide those with a candidate to vote for, whom will work to change and if necessary disband CSM.

Jin might be taller… maybe… but Guard’s a _rock_, I mean, dude was a martial arts champion in the UK. Jin… I think he masses about as much as one of Guard’s arms (but he’s been working out).

I asked where.  
Its in the quote.  
Show the quotes to corroborate your claims.  
You are a trained “veteran” lawyer by your own claim. Surely you understand to do, and can, do that.

The bottom two are true as accusations I have made, and they are both demonstrable, nor are they “insults”.

You may be a voter in the next elections, but at this moment you are a CSM, with all that entails.
