Edited by: Jonathan Ferguson on 13/07/2011 04:25:38 This CSM sucks. No real surprise there. CSM is a PR stunt by CCP and should be done away with. CSM V tried to make it more than that and got put in their place.
Mittens is a drunken clown who doesn't even play the game. The rest of them are sycophants. All they do is protect CCP from the full force of customer outrage/unsubscriptions by letting CCP pretend that they listen to their customers. And act as meatshields.
The whole CSM had read Fearless weeks ahead of its public release and none of them were concerned about it. They chalk up the protests to a 'communications issue' (in other words, CCP needs to lie more convincingly.)
Anyway, complaining about them is a waste of time because they're more useless than anything else and there are bigger fish to fry. But it would be nice if the council were abolished or at least there were a formal way for the players to express the 'vote of no confidence' mentioned in the thread title.

Speaking of CSM, I remember how big a deal dunderheads like Jayne and Jade (okay, mostly Jade) made out of the whole 'stakeholder' status horse****. Ooooh, they're STAKEHOLDERS now! Hurray!
My take (back in November) was a little different:
"I'm sure that CCP definitely DIDN'T come up with that name by trying to think of a word that sounds kind of significant but when translated to icelandic means 'one who can be ignored.' Good heavens, no!"
The ONE singular accomplishment of CSM V was preventing CCP from going forward with non-vanity MT (other than PLEX.) Turns out CCP didn't even want them to have that one accomplishment and were conspiring to introduce exactly what they'd promised not to.
Put the CSM out of its misery already.

Originally by: Cyprus Black Yeah, in regards to the No Confidence in CSMs, that ship has sailed long ago. I'm surprised it took you this long to come to that realization.
I dunno. Until now it didn't seem like they were a net negative. (CSM V worked their asses off for the good of the game.) Now they clearly are (albeit a regularly insignificant one.)
They act as CCP damage control/meatshields. They get no tangible results (CCP's statement about microtransactions had been written BEFORE the summit even happened and wasn't changed.) They argue for changes that will benefit their alliances over the good of the game. Time to throw the bums out.

With CSM led by a goon (surrounded by a bunch of servile toadies) and the lead developer for Internet Spaceships being a goon, why is CCP doing nothing to address this clear conflict of interest?
It's not like Gianturdo even PRETENDS to represent the whole community or the game.
It's not like Touborg even PRETENDS that he didn't mean what he said in Fearless.
CCP, HTFU, get to work on a system where your customers get to vote directly on issues and publish the results in real-time (even if you plan to ignore them.) CSM has no credibility with the 90% of players who don't live in 0.0. They had all read Fearless well ahead of its public release and weren't troubled by it. They're all (with the exception of Trebor) in favor of the utterly insane wormhole nerf. If you want to keep them as a sort of Vichy government, with Alex acting as Marshal PTtain, that's fine. But the players need a voice, and it's past time pretending that this CSM is it.

Over on scrapheap, CSM admit to lying in the summit devblog when they said this:
"Game-affecting Virtual Goods: We are convinced that CCP has no plans to introduce any game-affecting virtual goods, only pure vanity items such as clothing and ship skins."
They now concede that it was a lie when they said it, but they can't disclose more under NDA.
Even Trebor is nothing more than a CCP shill at this point. The whole lot of them need to either resign or come out openly as being nothing more than a marketing arm of CCP.
There's a great post by Malcanis about fried chicken and watermelon, but you'll have to find it for yourself.

Originally by: Aeropride its hard to take people seriously who use a childish name like teabaggers to refer to the tea party but thats just me...got some video of those comments she made?
Two points:
1. Teabaggers coined their own name.
2. I guess you don't take Republicans seriously, then. (Since they stopped calling it the Democratic Party a long time ago.)
