Brief look through the Star Citizen/Eve war on Reddit Jibrish Artimus
- what happened
- Roberts Space Industries Unveiled their new ship design for a class that was publicly voted for by SC backers Called the Drake Industries Vulture.
- \Ship is part of the Drake Industries shipbuilders Lineup but bears much more than just a passing resemblance to Eve’s very own Venture.
- SC’s Drake Industries Ships all have Industry themed Yellow Paintjobs / Accents.
- Ship is meant to be a small salvaging vessel. Ship design has been claimed to be the simplest logical form for that function.
- Due to Eve players having broad interests in Sci-Fi it was noticed quickly with Eve players independently drawing attention to similarities on SC’s subreddit. This over a short period this grew exponentially, fueled by SC communities reactionary outcry.
- little pokes by CCP on twitter after being alerted to it by the reddit community.
- Non-threatening / Non-confrontational
- Subreddit Mods got involved. Accusations of Vote-brigading were flung.
segway into the CSM topic by talking about the Judge by buying votes – what Jibrish’s involvement was
CSM Result Carneros, Suitonia, Tikktokk
- How they feel about the voting when all 7 previous winners were voted with some having little to no campaign presence
- thoughts on having so many GSF candidates and how they can each bring a fresh perspective
- How represented are all constituents of the game and its communities going to be on CSM13?
- Is low unique player voting turnout a symptom of a perpetual cycle of famous players who have giant coalitions that ‘lobby’ on their behalf or is a cause of the voting systems trickle down effect, or perhaps another problem.
- How has vote buying via skill injector farms affected CSM13 and should buying vote and using skill injector farms to vote be allowed / Restricted?
- Will CCP ever achieve a one person one vote system, instead of the current one account one vote?
