Id ask you the same.
You earn money on a 3rd party platform associated with EVE, and have sunk untold thousands in dollars attending Summits 7 times.
Well, the people electing me certainly think Iāve been an effective representative. Otherwise, why would they vote for me again?

No I did not, my remark was a generalised observation

Then why are you trolling in my thread?
Start your own re-election thread.

Trolling again here demonstrates well the problem with CSM and their influence, especially ones that have run for multiple consecutive years.
As is apparent in this thread, they gang up to troll potential candidates that do not represent their playerbase, and antagonize their interests, in this case involving not just 1 but 2 seated CSMs trying to smack down a potential contender in next years elections.
Any objective reader of this thread can readily see the concerted intent is to troll, disrupt, impugn and destroy a candidate before the election/nomination period even comes up for the next term.
Have you considered roping Dinsdale in to support your platform?
Your views align in so many ways.
Once again, you focus on the legitimate income stream I have from Eve. The one which is entirely by the rules of CCP. The one which doesnāt come close to breaking even (because of server costs.) The one only a moron would think is my reason for being involved. Because if I was in it for money, I could walk away from it all and have more.
And you think that by spending my own money on things, it impinges my integrity?
Iām not on the CSM to make money. (if I was, Iād be doing a terrible job of it)

That is arguable.
Donāt you have important CSM work to do?
Especially seeing as since youāve already occupied your seat for 5-6 years, at great expense to CCP, you still have accomplished nothing.
Get out of my thread and stop trying to quash an opponent candidate before the election/nomination even has begun. I did not ask for nor solicit your views, posts or opinions as a CSM I DID NOT VOTE FOR.
If you have issues to express, do so in your own re-election campaign thread.

If itās arguable, argue it. State your side, rather than just claiming it exists, then pointing else where.
As for
Thatās a fair indication that you donāt know what the CSM does. Weāre primarily a feedback body. We give feedback to CCP, on things they bring to us. We take feedback from the community on things which appear important.
Itās hard to point at a specific thing and say āI did that.ā Thatās not how the CSM works. I have helped shape features before they were released. But as you never see the original design, itās hard to point at. And no, I canāt share those original designed, because of this little thing known as the CSM NDA.
(I am curious to know what you think that picture of me proves.)
Now, as youāve asked nicely, Iāll stop posting in your thread, showing you the courtesy that you refuse to show many others.

Now it makes sense.
Go make your own re-election thread and stop trolling my candidacy, trying to quash it before it even begins, in favor of your comfy bi-annual paid trips to Iceland that you have enjoyed for years on end.
And take your sycophantic troll army with you.
Thanks.
You demonstrated here exactly what is wrong with CSM, and why players want it changed or gotten rid of.
I will represent them. And we will end this.
That @Steve_Ronuken seriously needs a wizardās hat for his next CSM portrait.

As far as how @Steve_Ronuken and @Brisc_Rubal have been CSMās in regard to responding to us, I would say itās safe to say theyāve done a decent job being communicative between us and the Devs. I donāt see any other CSM really post on the forums. But In regards to what the CSMās job is
You in my most humble opinion @Salvos_Rhoska do not qualify.

This OP was moved here by Falcon.
My platform is legit, as is my right to apply for candidacy to CSM.
I will answer reasonable questions about my platform and candidacy, but that does not mean this is a free-for-all playground for trolls and haters.
My platform is unusual and controversial. I understand that.
But it is a necessary one, as no one else is providing a voice for those players that have serious misgivings about the CSM program.
If you donāt like my views, dont like me, or disagree with my platform, thats fine.
But go do it somewhere else.
Whosāāweāā you and your ego?
