Running for CSM next year:

[Brisc_Rubal]

@Salvos_Rhoska

It is not meaningless and means that CSM will be not officially or practically associated with a Corp/Alliance with another seated CSM, and thereby all transfers benefits to that character as CSM will be traceable.

CSM accounts are already monitored for insider trading - being in separate alliances or corporations won’t make an ounce of difference in whether CCP is monitoring CSM accounts for evidence of insider trading.

What other kinds of transfers/benefits do you believe are happening?

@Salvos_Rhoska

Also means Corp/Alliances will only be able to field one candidate to move to a seat, per year. If there are more than 1 candidate with that Corp/Alliance tag, only the one that gets the most votes will get a single seat on CSM.

That would require a chance to the STV voting system - there is nothing, under this philosophy, of a larger group like the Imperium putting out a ballot with a list of names, each person being in a different corp/alliance, and still winning races the way they have in the past.

As I said, it’s a book keeping thing, not something that is a substantive barrier to reducing any specific outside group’s electoral effectiveness. Whether I’m in INIT or in the Brisc Rubal Alliance, my voters and my friends will still vote for me, regardless of whatever tag I’ve got on.

@Salvos_Rhoska

them the response.

Is it correct that you have NOT asked questions of CCP, simply because you felt you’d rather not know the answer because you could not tell players, as that would violate NDA?

Did you fail to ask CCP questions, because you could not tell players the answer?

Are you saying NDA should be removed or mitigated?

I have been asked questions by players regarding things CCP has done/is doing and I have not asked those questions of CCP because I did not want the answer because I couldn’t tell the person who originally asked me.

Yes, I am saying that I think there are areas where the NDA should be relaxed, because players view us as conduits to the Devs and it is frustrating to us (on the CSM) and them (the players) when we are only a one-way street of information.

@Salvos_Rhoska

I dont agree with them, because they are not what I support.

I know - I think you’re supporting things that either aren’t a problem, or won’t even solve the problem you think exists.

[Brisc_Rubal]

@Salvos_Rhoska

Try that and receive the answer you have so desired for you and others to spam dozens of posts on it.

That’s not what I asked and that’s not the question that I and a dozen others in this thread want you to answer.

You simply don’t want to answer the question. Why? Because you’re afraid?

[Noragen_Neirfallas]

@Ima_Wreckyou

I clearly didn’t say or imply that. I just said we have no clear yes as of now.

Are you implying you want picks of me in a mankinni with that sentence?

[Salvos_Rhoska]

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras

Salvos is clearly either very intelligent, or just crazy. looking at his pics, he’s quite smug. But there is no way you would be a competent CSM.

I am very intelligent, and somewhat eccentric.
Smug is not a characteristic Ive ever heard ascribed to me.
I don’t do smug.
I am as competent, if not more so, as any number of past and present CSM.

[Ima_Wreckyou]

@Noragen_Neirfallas

Are you implying you want picks of me in a mankinni with that sentence?

Was it that obvious?

[Brisc_Rubal]

@Salvos_Rhoska

I am as competent, if not more so, as any number of past and present CSM.

On what grounds do you make this claim?

[Annah_Tsero]

Please no
I don’t want a stain on my mind

[Salvos_Rhoska]

@Brisc_Rubal

CSM accounts are already monitored for insider trading - being in separate alliances or corporations won’t make an ounce of difference in whether CCP is monitoring CSM accounts for evidence of insider trading.

You missed the part about that CSM character having to run, and if elected, operate under another Corp/Alliance membership/tags.

@Brisc_Rubal

That would require a chance to the STV voting system - there is nothing, under this philosophy, of a larger group like the Imperium putting out a ballot with a list of names, each person being in a different corp/alliance, and still winning races the way they have in the past.

If they can arrange to do so, then fine.

That does not invalidate the proposed change.

@Brisc_Rubal

I have been asked questions by players regarding things CCP has done/is doing and I have not asked those questions of CCP because I did not want the answer because I couldn’t tell the person who originally asked me.

This is bizarre to me.

You have deliberately NOT asked questions your constituency has put to you, because you DIDNT WANT the answer.

This is a completely alien attitude to me. I dont understand or agree with it at all.

Whether you can tell your constituency or not, is irrelevant to whether you SHOULD ask CCP questions that players want addressed.

@Brisc_Rubal

I think there are areas where the NDA should be relaxed

That is something we can work on, should both of us be elected CSM.

@Brisc_Rubal

I think you’re supporting things that either aren’t a problem, or won’t even solve the problem you think exists.

What you think is up to you, and informative of your own platform as CSM, not mine.

I am not running based on what you think.
Im running based on what I think.

To stop the spam/trolling, though syntax was false despite me explaining how, here it is:

Yes, I do have a passport.

HAS nothing to do if he wants the answer or not… HE CANNOT TELL the person who asked the question, the answer to what they were looking for!!!

Have you ever been told something that you couldn’t tell anybody else even though they wanted to know??
Thats how he feels and he doesn’t wanna be in that position to never be able to tell someone what they wanted to know…

[Salvos_Rhoska]

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras

HAS nothing to do if he wants the answer or not…

He specifically said he has refrained from asking CCP questions put to him from his constituency, because he did not want to hear the answer.

That his reason for that, was he couldnt tell his constituents the answer, is irrelevant and superfluous.

---

I take issue with NOT asking CCP the hard questions, regardless of whether you can tell other players the answer or not.

[Noragen_Neirfallas]

@Salvos_Rhoska

Yes, I do have a passport.

This contained 5 too many words. Please try again

Sigh…

Yes.

[Noragen_Neirfallas]

@Salvos_Rhoska

Yes

Boys I did it

@Brisc_Rubal ^^

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

@Salvos_Rhoska

because I couldn’t tell the person who originally asked me.

WHAT PART OF THAT DID YOU MISS??? he said he didn’t want the answer, because of the above reason… it has everything to do with the people asking the questions…

you take a lil bit of something and twist it to your own little perversion…

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

@Noragen_Neirfallas

Yes

Boys I did it

bravo. I shall buy you a case of quafe.

[Salvos_Rhoska]

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras

he said he didn’t want the answer, because of the above reason…

No.

He said he did not ASK the questions.

[Noragen_Neirfallas]

And unlike seated CSM’s I am very open to bribes

[Brisc_Rubal]

@Salvos_Rhoska

You missed the part about that CSM character having to run, and if elected, operate under another Corp/Alliance membership/tags.

That is meaningless. I create a one-man corp, blue to all my old friends, and I keep all of my alt characters in the original group. Literally nothing changes for how I play or whom I socialize with.

@Salvos_Rhoska

If they can arrange to do so, then fine.

That does not invalidate the proposed change.

It makes the proposed change useless. Why do it if the end result is that the CSM is exactly the same as it would have been?

@Salvos_Rhoska

You have deliberately NOT asked questions your constituency has put to you, because you DIDNT WANT the answer.

This is a completely alien attitude to me. I dont understand or agree with it at all.

Think about it.

Somebody asks you a question, they want an answer. You can get the answer, but you can’t give it to the person who asked without breaking the NDA. So why ask the question?

It’s like being able to buy a sandwich but you can never eat it. Why buy it in the first place?

@Salvos_Rhoska

That is something we can work on, should both of us be elected CSM.

It’s not something we’ll be able to change - it’s merely something I wish would change but I know won’t.

@Salvos_Rhoska

I am not running based on what you think.
Im running based on what I think.

That’s fine - I’m just trying to explain to you why what you think is wrong.

[Brisc_Rubal]

@Salvos_Rhoska

To stop the spam/trolling, though syntax was false despite me explaining how, here it is:

Yes, I do have a passport.

That’s not a valid answer.
