Those 2 things are up in the air as far as the player base knows ATM. To know the outcome of those 2 scenarios before they come to be would be most advantageous financially. One could make billions from such info.
And that is why our accounts are monitored by Internal Affairs, just like the accounts of CCP employees. A CSM member did try exactly what you are describing in the past, and earned himself a temporary ban from EVE and got kicked off the CSM (go look up Larkonis Tressler).
So no, we cannot use the knowledge we get from CCP to make billions on the markets.
Do you use the EVE client only? there are so meny ways of letting someone else know and I am sure the CSM do abuse it, what other reason is there to even be a CSM, you have no say :P

As we all know, it is absolutely impossible to use out of game communication methods to give insider info to other players. It is unthinkable that such a thing would occur. It is also beyond belief that, in a game built on the concept of knowledge is power, no one would ever even attempt it.
Or have already done that stuff before. See: BoB Ive seen chatlogs an screenies from "other sites" of dev chatter on Instant Messenger before. Thats nothing new

Wonderful argument
Right up there with "nuh uh" "uh huh" which is followed by "Im rubber youre glue..."
But yeah. WHY do we have a CSM again? -------- CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too. |

Quote: Developer misconduct
Instances of developer misconduct in Eve Online have been substantiated, leading to debates and controversy within the game community. On February 9, 2007, a player known as ********** revealed that an Eve Online developer nicknamed 't20' had provided his alliance, Band of Brothers, with ten valuable tech 2 blueprint originals, giving them an advantage over competing alliances.
Some within the Eve Online community asked for t20's dismissal. While an apology letter was left for the community in the form of a dev blog, he remained an Eve Online developer until late 2008. ********** was permanently banned from the Eve Online universe for violating the game's Terms of Service and End-user License Agreement by revealing t20's real name.
In response to public concerns, CCP decided to set up an Internal Affairs division whose responsibility is to monitor the activities of both privileged and player accounts operated by CCP staff in-game.
Council of Stellar Management In part due to the matters above, CCP invited users to stand for the first Council of Stellar Management (CSM) in March 2008, resulting in 66 candidates seeking election to nine positions. It was a requirement that candidates release their full real names in addition to stating their in-game details. In May, after a two-week voting period, the first Council was elected, comprising seven men and two women; three each from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, two from the USA and one from Denmark, their ages ranging from 17 to 52. The remit of the Council has been changed since it was first proposed and is now seen by CCP primarily as a route for players to make requests for changes and improvements to the game mechanics, presentation, and game content of Eve Online.
The first four Councils served for six months, after which new ones were to be elected. Each individual was only permitted to serve twice. Each CSM will get the authority to put requests to CCP three times during their term of office which CCP have stated must be answered; once in person in Iceland and twice by e-mail, with most of the costs of their visit to Iceland being borne by CCP. The fifth CSM will operate under new rules, featuring one-year terms with two Iceland trips and four email requests, as well as the abolition of the two-term limit.
The first meeting of the CSM with CCP took place in Reykjavik between June 19 and 23, 2008 and included not only the nine CSM members but a number of developers, designers, game masters and producers from CCP and members of print and video media. Matters discussed by players on the Eve Online forums were reviewed in detail and whilst some were rejected for technical reasons many were accepted by CCP as useful improvements to the game which would be introduced either in an early so-called point release or added to the development plans for a future major update.
Nominations for the second CSM opened on September 26, 2008 with voting commencing on November 9. The following third Council of Stellar Management will see a modified age restriction in effect: candidates under the age of 21 are then no longer eligible as CSM members.
THATS why Its on Wikipedia it CANT be true

Actually no, let's not quit, but ***** & whine like spoiled little brats on forums.
Most of the playerbase never reads these forums, don't give a rat's arse about this CSM metagaming stuff, never bother with CQ QQ or that store thing because those things have 0 effect on the actual game. Boohoomoaning, namecalling and overall super negative writings on totally irrelevant things, it's like some people have nothing better to do than fill the world with negativity. Ok maybe not the world, but at least General Discussion.
If you would play moar and whine less you'd all be 136% happier - haters gonna hate, players gonna play :-*
Thank you for so thoroughly making yourself look like a douchebag.

If I can circumvent the API to create a spy and infiltrate a corporation you can do so also.
I understand you are uncomfortable about my speculation of what could happen, and view it as an accusation of sorts. Lets just take one second to review facts.
CCP got caught cheating; then formed the CSM. At least one CSM has been caught cheating.
I'll be your idiot {huckleberry], but I'd have to be literally ****ing ******ed to assume that someone is infallible, and so would anyone else.

CSM cheating, not a surprise. power corrupts, an I doubt anyone in this game is a prefect angel to START with.
Well my question here is simple. CCP got caught cheating, formed the CSM for a PR scam that would never have worked, changed it to PR puppets they can pull out whenever they need them.
My question:
Why do we need a CSM? I know WHY we HAVE one but why do we NEED one? -------- CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too. |

Edited by: Prince Kobol on 31/08/2011 19:27:26 Why do we need a CSM.. simple, we don't
At the moment having a CSM is causing more problems then it is solving.
There is so little trust in the current CSM that there is no point having them.
Most people believe that they do not give a damn about the game being developed for the good all but only interested in how it affects them and everybody else be damned.
Also when you have people who now work at CCP who used to be part of the very alliances that are on the current CSM, and that said alliance is deemed to be one of the most untrust worthy in the game, this only breads nothing but distrust.
Add on top of this when you look at CCP's apparent reluctance at actually doing anything against the null sec alliances who are involved with mass RMT you have to wonder.

Right.. So a CSM member would not be able to tell a friend who is in a corp/alliance that is not connected to his/her corp/alliance outside of Eve, i.e IRC chat, private email, phone call, carrier pigeon, Semaphore, you get the point, about CCP's up and coming plans so then together they would be able to make xxx amount of isk?
Yeah, that could never happen

Leaked meeting minutes, latest draft..
It was a dark and stormy night somewhere not in Iceland. The CSM had already entered the meeting room and agreed that Iceland was amazing and that the fact that CCP had called this meeting meant that CCP was seriously interested in the player's feedback.
Many of the CSM quietly reflected on their journey to Iceland and their path to being part of something as amazing as the CSM. They all thought CCP must truly be the most amazing game company ever! The CSM and of course the ripples CCP had caused in the game industry with the release of the first ever private room MMO feature with propriatary creepy character graphics that would certainly help make the new vampire game a huge success showed CCP to truly be ahead of the pack!
When CCP arrived the CSM could see in the kindly faces of the CCP employees that any thoughts of CCP not having the current player's best interest at heart clearly were a mistake!
The meetings began with CCP explaining a lot of really cool stuff that can't be discussed here because of NDA. The CSM then shared that they had heard rumors that some players were concerned about a leaked memo and some other email but that largely they were just happy to get another chance to hang out in Iceland.
For serveral days the CSM and CCP shared wonderful ideas about the future of Eve which sadly again cannot be shared due to NDA. What both sides finally agreed on was that a statement could be released to share the real sentiment of the meeting.
They all agreed that CCP loves Eve and would never do anything to Eve that wasn't awesome and the CSM sully supported CCP in making Eve even more awesome in the future.
The meeting was ajorned on the last day while CCP and the CSM enjoyed playing with puppies and kittens in the lobby of the main CCP offices.
Notes attached to the draft say this version still needs work to be approved as it contains too much content about the meeting itself and there were not enough cute elements to distract the players. It suggests adding something about some new fashion items or pets in future versions of CQ.

I wish I worked in Iceland.
If CCP is any example, apparently it's common for one man's work for a day to take entire corporations months or years to accomplish.
For example: Just this morning Hilmar received a cup of coffee from his secretary. The problem being, he asked to go get the cup of coffee sometime in January.
How many ways does CCP need to tell all of you to screw off before you actually get the hint? Just keep paying them money and they'll give you whatever the hell they feel like. If you have complaints or concerns, shut up or leave, CCP does not care.
This cow is old, they've slaughtered it and sent it to market so they can buy feed for their new cows.
--- Players are losing faith and loyalty in CCP due previous expansions not living up to player expectations. The CSM and CCP agreed that expectation management can be improved |

I don't care, it's the beauty of the written text medium : you use your imagination to fill the blanks in.

Horrendous choice but very predictable from a corporate perspective.
Quote: a response follows a question or a comment, group the relevant discussion into one section in stead of having it going all over the place (like happens when talking to someone),
I hate being baby-sit and patronized. I want information and that means Reality, not rewriting. The minutes would be interesting to read if they were real minutes (i.e. unedited) but now that you've described how they're made up, I won't even bother checking them out... which I suspect, is the real underlying objective in such a long winded editing tactic.

The other day, a CSM member (I believe White Tree) mentioned that CCP and the CSM couldn't agree on the "tone" of the minutes.
Do you really expect us to believe that the disagreement is based on the vocal inflections that people made?
.. You know, on second thought, don't answer that.
Your reverse psychology worked on me! When it comes to someone saying angrily "But I disagree!" do you reflect that in the minutes as 'CCP/CSM angrily disagreed!', 'CCP/CSM disagreed', 'CCP/CSM voiced objections to the statement', 'CCP/CSM noted their disapproval' or 'CCP/CSM wanted to point out another manner to address the issue'?
Sure, these things might look trivial (but they aren't) , but I want all parties to agree on the minutes - thus these things have to be discussed.
Capturing the tone is easy. Change every 'CCP said..' to "CCP lied and said..." and you will get the correct tone.

The issue has and will always be about the ballance of power that is eve, currently it is and has been since I've been around very much slanted towards ccp, yes it is there product, but we are buying that product from them, issues then arrise because ccp have a set of rules they expect us to follow, yet they demonstrate through there actions, (and sometimes inaction) a lack of rules governing themselves, thus the balance of power in eve is screwed and slanted totally towards ccp.
What I would like to see the csm focusing on is addressing this, so that there is s minimal set of standards we can expect From ccp, a set of standards we can hold them to as well.

Regardless of the nuances the two or more sides are trying to convey with the minutes, dragging it out is not helpful. Political scandal image advisers say a politician who screws up is much better off doing a complete data dump early. Get it all out and move on. None of the "nobody will ever find out" - because if they do find out, it reminds everybody of the screw-up and it all spins up again, perhaps even on a higher pitch. Look at the comment from the CCP COO who gave an interview to the Icelandic newspaperpaper mbl.is using an obscene reference to describe the protesters -- big forum news for two days, and then it expired from the front page. Scandal over... at least that part.
So the CSM didn't approve the CCP-prepared minutes? Let them issue their own minutes. The CCM doesn't agree among themselves? Let them each issue as many as needed. This isn't like the Yalta Agreements, where everybody has to agree on how something was said... but oh, wait -- the English and Russian versions of Yalta didn't agree, arguably exacerbating the cold war. But I digress. I would hazard a guess that the EVE-Online players who care about these issues are smart enough to read and compare and understand who's "nuancing" where... if anybody cares.
Trickling this stuff out wasn't a winning strategy, in my opinion.
