I’ll also just add that mr. Kell here has all the right to ask any question to a CSM candidate. You can’t ask people to desist, it looks pretty bad (so is swearing 😂) ---

The rest is his own opinion, rhetoric, and refusing to recognize Ive answered him, though he doesnt like the answers. And no, CSM, as candidates, nominees or in the seat, are not required to answer questions from any player. Thats the system right now. If you dont like my answers, move on and vote for someone else or ask another CSM. ---

I saw more avoiding and misinterpreting from your part than from him. That’s your M.O. -Nitpicky quotes -avoidance -lie spreading -accusations I’ll be surprised if you get more than 3 votes, seeing how you’re basically ignorant of game mechanics and only want in to shut an essential player-to-dev system. > [@Salvos\_Rhoska](#): > > And no, CSM, as candidates, nominees or in the seat, are not required to answer questions from any player.

Every CSM represents a group of players, who do you intend on representing? ---

CSM meetings can be held just fine via Discord, which is free. CSM wouldn’t even have to leave their house or even put pants on, and CCP wouldn’t be wasting money. And no, a CSM is a volunteer, so a CSM does not need to have their Omega paid for them. If he/she/it can’t bother maintaining their Omega status while on CSM, then they are not worthy of representing the PAYING players of EvE. ---

Except Alphas can also apply to be on the CSM, otherwise little Salvos here wouldn’t be presenting himself 😅 ---

Then Salvos needs to pay up. Alphas are a marketing gimmick, not a playstyle needing representation. ---

You are suggesting that one of the biggest reasons people plays as alpha instead of omega is because they are taking a stand on CSM getting one free omega account for the duration of their time in CSM? ---

Let me help you out then, and I quote you: > [@Salvos\_Rhoska](#): > > Alphas constitute the majority of EVE account status, not just as alts, but people that no longer want to pay for EVE, especially in regards to CSM perks. Is suggesting that you think most people who play as alpha instead of omega do that because they don’t agree with CSM getting a free account for the duration of their tenure. Show the proof then. ---

> [@Annah\_Tsero](#): > > > Alphas constitute the majority of EVE account status > > where’s the proof of this? Technically, this is a true statement, but was likely not his intention. Accounts for those who no longer play will be Alpha. But, the idea that the majority of Alphas no longer want to pay due to CSM perks is ridiculous. There’s no way to know this. Personally, I had never heard of any perks outside of the trips to Iceland. ---
