Edited by: Nimrod Nemesis on 28/07/2011 17:19:31 A "credible," highsec candidate would have to be campeigning long before anyone else due to the fact he or she would essentially be rallying a playerbase that is incredibly diverse, lazy, and fearful.
Hazarding a glance at the "highsec," forum names that would have a shot at garnering such support I don't see anyone who's game to do it. So if you want your opinions better represented and you're tired of our 0.0 politics hogging the show, I suggest you get out there and find a candidate who's willing to take on this task and be damned sure they're good at e-politics.

Thank you for making me smile. Actually roar with laughter.
Looking at the current " representatives " I can say that being good at e-politics is the last thing one can say of them.
The current reps were elected by voting blocks at the alliance/coalition level so their need to politik is not as dire as someone who's representing a veritable hoard of un-related mission runners, miners, traders, industrialist, suicide gankers, wardecers, explorers, and whatever else the highsec carebears do. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're politically inept, Mittens seems to have a much larger fan-base than just GS and co. evidenced by the fact he got many more votes than were cast by his constituents.
But yes, any rep. for the squalid masses is going to need massive e-political clout on the level of Chribba to even begin to draw out the numbers needed to compete with nullsec blocks. Since I more often than not find myself agreeing with the alliance reps I don't really care if this happens or not, but i'm really skeptical of anyone who suggests it could happen.

Well if you had bothered to read the whole thread it may have given you a clue that this is what it is all about. I'm not saying that getting hisec organised behind a slate of credible candidates is going to be easy. It is true that the people in hisec are individualistic in temperament and not easy to organise. I refute your implication that we are "lazy, and fearful." The "socialistic" nature of 0.0 is not something that appeals to me and I suspect many others. Why work for the priviledge of fitting someone else out with a Titan?
No, the contempt and disdain that it obvious in the utterances of people connected with 0.0 seems to me to be a more than convincing argument for getting a counterweight to the self-serving attitude of the 0.0 representatives on the current CSM. Anyone wanting to contact me in game is more than welcome. This is going to be hard to pull off, but it needs to be done for the sake of the game.
Good luck with that. If being "social," doesn't appeal to you though, i'm almost certain you're off to a poor start. Of course, stranger people have been elected.

So I take it you're new then?
