Running for CSM next year:

Could video it in, granted he would ruin his own table but CCP MUST KNOW HOW SRS HE IS!!!11

You have specifically said that you do not want some people’s votes, and that you do not want people to vote for you if they disagree with you.

That’s the opposite of asking people for their votes.

I wont be travelling to CCP HQ at all, and advocate ending travel there for Summits.

CSM business can be handled online, or not at all if no change to the program can be achieved.

How easy do think it would be to have 10+ CSM members and about a dozen CCP all on video chat vs. in-person meetings?

Less difficult than getting all 10 CSM to Iceland.

So, just for giggles, because salvos loves stats so much, I wanted to share some numbers.

Salvos: 7.7k posts
mkint: 600ish posts

Salvos: 3.3k likes, less than 50% post:like ratio
mkint: 700ish likes, greater than 100% post:like ratio

mkint: top 2 liked posts at more than 20 likes
salvos: not a single post out of literally THOUSANDS has even hit 20 likes

My own stats aren’t ā€œgoodā€ by any means. I don’t farm for stats. I don’t spam the forums with bullcrap to up my post count, nor take part in stupid ā€œfree likesā€ threads. But even with what are really pathetic forums stats, my ā€œdo people like meā€ metrics blow Salvos out the water.

clearly you don’t understand how easy it is for corporations to book tickets, or the kinds of budgets that any respectable international corporation keeps for travel expenses.

Almost all international corporations prefer using online consulting/communication.

CSM are not ā€œemplpyedā€ by CCP.
Travelling to Iceland is an opportunity only those that dont need, or have, a 9-5 job can do.

Just wanna point put that 9 to 5s are probably the single least common employment patterns in the world.

It costs less, and does not involve separating a person from their family, work and IRL.

CSM are not CCP employees. They are not earning money on the trip.

Only person I know that works 9 - 5 is Dolly Parton

It may cost less, but that does not provide evidence that most companies prefer it.

I have seen no evidence to the contrary, especially regarding voluntary persons in relation to a game developer.

CSM business can, and should be, handled online,

Absence to the contrary is not proof.

Sure, it can, but they think it’s better to have a face to face. Who are you to tell them how to spend their money?

I dont need to prove the contrary.

All I need is the votes of those whom agree with my platform.

You made a statement that you then sidestepped with another that most assuredly could be accepted as fact.

I’m pleased to see you acknowledging that the trip to Iceland does all of these things, but given that it does all of these things I’m still puzzled as to why you think that CCP covering the cost of the travel and lodging is somehow inappropriate.

Is that not a fair trade off for separating me from my family, work and IRL?

I have provided supporting evidence earlier in this thread, when I was asked the same before.
