Thought it might be Psychotic Monk's year this time though. i voted for him top on all 3 accounts . Luckily my 2nd and 3rd choices all made it
Basically my sentiment as well. Rather sad he didn't make it in. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Um, Malcanis, that was sort of the point. Everyone I knew voted AGAINST the guys we got, and goons pointed out that it DID NOT MATTER because their alliance and co voted that way, and that was 30k votes.
In which case, democracy is working.
Get more friends, and get organized. That or kiss the ring, your choice.
But quit crying about "my vote didn't matter". Whether it does or not is up to you. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Lol what?
Yeah, I'm not letting that one pass.
Ultima Online is one of the greatest examples of a game sacrificing it's loyal playerbase at the altar of "mainstream appeal". It was the first game to truly kill itself for the sake of casuals, and remains one of the most painful examples of this as well, as no game since has had such a depth of player freedom as UO once had.

Lol, surely you have a few examples of that, right? You know, of all those games that failed because they did not go lowest common denominator?

I'm sorry, I meant:
All hail Ayn Rand, long live Maggie Thatcher, bow before Saint Reagan the Unconquered Restorer of the Free World. HERO is on the right path under the wise guidance of TEST, and anyway every newbee friendly ~internet spaceship guilde~ should definitely implement space libertarianism, especially if they want to topple goons, honest, guys!
Anyone want to join my new alliance Fountainhead [ATLAS]?
Nothing of the sort, to be honest.
I am merely arguing against his thought crime mentality. Were it up to him, all of the "sane, moral, compassionate people" would be able to have any playstyle with an off chance of causing badfeels banned from the game, and we'd all be merrily grinding away to make the green numbers bigger.
Well, I reject that carebear horseshit. He can throw around labels all he wants but he can go jump in a lake if he thinks he gets to legislate his twisted version of morality into a videogame. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

*sigh* Ok, I'll bite, how did you come to that conclusion? I can point to high sec population and concurrency numbers to support my theory that doing away with high sec, either nerfing it into the ground or flat out eliminating it, will harm EvE's viability as a source of profit for CCP. Assuming that only ten percent (though likely higher) of high sec players actually quit, that's still a serious financial hit.
I can tell you how he came to that conclusion.
Sub numbers spiked after the battle of BR-5. We had rookie systems in TiDi for goodness sakes.
Sub numbers have never spiked from mining. Or mission running. Or any of the mindless tasks of highsec.
One of these is clearly drawing in new players. One is not.
When was the last time you heard a brand new player say "Man, I can't wait to munch on some asteroids all day long just like a bot!"? "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

That'd be a Dev's twitter feed, where they were laughing about how they had to remap a node to cover one of the rookie systems a few days after BR-5. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

I'm pretty confident that fixing POS, reworking sovereignty and making corp & alliance features work properly, along with giving power projection a savage kick in the balls, would all be more effective development targets.
While true, the tongue in cheek point is about those folk who believe that anything not overtly benefiting highsec amounts to nerfing it. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Good.
I mean it. Highsec has monopolized the industrial landscape for too long. Other parts of space should get to have a piece of the pie. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Now if this is the case you will possible just make people quit the game and not increase the amount of people that manufacture in low / null by hurting hi sec.
Game balance is not dictated by people who are stomping their feet and saying that if they don't get to keep the absurd, overwhelming advantage they've had for ten years then they'll quit.
Those people can go jump in a lake. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Just so I'm getting the tinfoil straight here, the point is that it's *not* possible that they've simply done a good job getting the message out to new players, and that most of the abstains are just people embittered that they can't auto win by being highsec?

The major complaint that CCP has admitted was an issue was that people didn't know it was going on, due to the announcements being buried rather frequently. That 'new' players might magically have known more than anyone else seems a bit odd and suggests that a lot of alt voting went on, which is in line with what goons were claiming earlier. We don't have the needed demographics to be certain, but it's a fair bet that you'd see that 30 and 120 day accounts are wildly disproportionate to other account ages, if we did.
I would point out that BR-5 introduced a lot of newbies to the game.
It's well within reason that they are voting, this year the CSM campaigns were pushed pretty heavily. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Voter turn out is lower because people won't stop crying.
Because there are some deluded people who actually listen to the doomsayers, and who get this gigantic circlejerk going where they pat each other on the backs saying "there there, our vote wouldn't have mattered anyway" while bemoaning that anyone from outside of highsec is allowed to vote at all.
Meanwhile, lowsec makes THE strongest showing that it ever has. Because getting out the vote actually works. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
