He hasn’t really played since feb thou, so to be fair you would have to compare with jan/feb’s numbers. Which seems to be an avg of about 40 solo kills a month, pretty decent if you ask me.
Why? I play every day. Wouldn’t you think someone who plays every day might have a better understanding of game mechanics than guys who take months off at a time?

Knowledge of game mechanics is more about passion over time than being current so it can’t really be measured by a killboard or by just saying someone is always playing.
Just so its clear I’m not comparing you and him, I’m just speaking in general.
Like I’ve been playing dota for 17 years, I play it only for fun I still play it currently every 3 days or so and I wouldn’t say I have as much game knowledge than a pro tournament dude that has been playing for only 3 years who sits and studies it every single day.
Even if that pro stops playing for a month and I keep playing doesn’t automatically mean I pass him in knowledge.
Unless they started mechanically patching DoTA every 2 months like they’re doing here in EVE. They’ve adjusted the mechanics significantly since January, changing multiple areas of the game that he’d have no idea about since he hasn’t played, but people who play every day do.

Given how often games change, I think somebody who plays every day is going to have a leg up on somebody who comes and goes for months at a time, especially in EVE.
Regardless, it was a cheap, typical attempt to claim that those of us who do a lot of fleet warfare have no idea about game mechanics, and that’s just dumb. I hate that base kind of prejudice against playstyles.

It’s interesting to me. People are concerned that there is a heavy concentration of known null-sec personalities on the CSM, and when alternative voting structures are presented, they are rejected out of hand. Not considered, not pondered with enhancements, and just flatly rejected as (to quote you) nonsense.
So on one hand, there is a discontent regarding the current state of affairs by many posters here (not sure if that’s the prevailing sentiment in the greater game), and on the other, it’s preferred to keep the current system than consider alternatives (even conceptually).
That ceases to be discourse regarding solutions and ideas, that is just whining, and I will not engage with that here.
What are you thinking about recommending for changes in lowsec, Brisc?
Brisc Rubal, smack talking your constituency is not the type of conduct expected of an elected official (which you are). Your role is to represent the interests and concerns of all players (not just the ones you agree with), whether or not those views are disagreeable to you personally or even if you don’t understand them. Please be civil to those you represent (even if they didn’t vote for you).

I just hope at least one of the CSM is going to try change the tier system of fw so that both sides have something to fight for at the same time.
Before we can recommend anything, we have to convince them that they need to devote the time and energy to focusing on lowsec. That’s my first goal. That’s a heavy enough lift at this point, given all the other areas screaming for attention.
I do not need lectures about my role from you or anyone else. When someone claims that I have no knowledge of game mechanics because I do not play the game the way that he does, I’m going to respond in kind. I was completely civil with him, as well.

First, null is a critically important aspect of the game and should have dense representation on the CSM. Null is one of the main ways Eve distinguishes itself from other MMOs. The fact it’s conducive to the creation of blue donuts means it’s broken in some ways, hopefully the CSMs who are null bears figure that out and find ways to help CCP inject more conflict out there.
I have nothing against null representation and don’t think it’s bad there is a lot of it. What I don’t like is that other aspects of the game get ignored or forgotten with such a heavy focus on null.
With that in mind, there’s data available to CCP to separate folks by the regions they primarily play in for voting purposes, including down to the IP address, email addresses on accounts, etc. If CCP was interested in separating candidates by region, it can be done. I’m not sure they want to is all.
Ah, I can see you are a mature individual. May President Aguard protect us because you sure won’t.

You are supposed to be our representative and you can’t even find the eyeroll emoji!!
Key word is ‘supposed to be.’ If Brisc is the epitome of what the CSM has become, then whatever its original purpose, the organization has become truly lost.
Yes because emoji specialist’s are exactly what the CSM need…
I think what he’s saying is that if someone can’t even figure out how to use emojis on a chat forum, how could they hope to tackle the complexities of interpersonal relations, gameplay fundamentals, and mature business minded discussions with professional game developers? Just hypothesizing of course.
Emojis are for kids real men type it out ^ _ ^

I believe when I see it.
Actually, I was being sarcastic. Everyone is just attacking him and I was making fun of that.
I want a more diverse CSM for sure. I didn’t vote for anyone who made it but iBeast. But Brisc appears to love playing Eve, so that’s good. Just take it easy and let them enjoy their victory. You’re not seriously hoping to change things by telling him he’s bad at the game and mean to people, are you?
