Shine on crazy diamond

So, for unspecified reasons my account did not pass a security background screening check, so i am out of the CSM election race. no reason specified.

Censorship? CCP deciding who they want to run, and blocking those who don't? or a legacy of swearing a few too many times in local and having people metagame at me by petitioning me for abuse? Who knows? But it certainly shows that the CSM is indeed a bunch of pets of CCP.

This is Hong Kong style democracy, where the devs decide which candidates get up and which don't. Which is fine -it's their game, after all, and they have to deal with the CSM over the course of a year so if they object to a candidate and think she is a bit deranged or he's a douche, it's their prerogative to see them face election.

Either way, if you read this shitty blog and can see where I am coming from, you should vote for Corbexx first, and bane Cortex second. The former has pedigree and the second is better as a wormhole candidate than Chance Ravine. It takes more than daytripping in a bomber and killing haulers to be a wormhole CSM.

Oh, and remember, your vote doesn't count. CCP will fiddle and fudge the stacked deck however they want. More on the fan/author interplay later.

  1. Sorry about the campaign, TF. You were my #2 so easy. I will say that they let me run last year and I know I've been reported and censored a gaggle of times. Not sure what happened in your case. Also, I 100% agree with Corbexx as #1, but Bane Cortex is not CSM ready at all. The kid hasn't a clue what he's doing or about the game. Hope things work out, bruh...

  2. Well as Sion explained to us, the CSM is worthless and you can achieve more by blogging and bugging Corbexx while you can write what you want without having to think about the NDA.

    Was your candidacy serious and did you not pass a check or was your candidacy just trolling and some good fun? I assumed you were not that serious but would stil have included you on my ballot somewhere.

    1. I did not pass a check. not sure if it was related to the jewish Bullshit Ninja episode, or the fact BUGRY got it's name petitioned, or what. Who knows?

  3. Well, shit. You and Corbexx would make a nice pair of wormhole representatives.

  4. Just read your interview on http://justforcrits.com/csmx-trinkets-friend/ guess that would answer my question about trolling vs serious. Shame CCP blocked your candidacy.
