I don't think women should be able to vote or run for elected office. How can you convince me otherwise?

---

Deborah Tannen argues that male and female communication is fundamentally gendered, as though the two belonged to two different cultures. Does this make sense to you or is it in the attempt to objectively speak about the difference between men and women itself a sort of sexist dichotomy of active and passive? Can the two sexes genuinely communicate?

I like the idea of an independent voice from Empire to counteract all the "big-boys" from the 0.0 mega-alliances.

Let's hope there's enough support here to offset some of the block-voting that'll obviously happen.

You have my vote.

Thank you too! Block voting in EVE is, I suppose, like the unions, locals, group-based voting in 'real' life and something to be expected. As the big alliances can't actually place a 'block vote' on behalf of their pilots though then every vote placed by a pilot is their own, indeed it can't actually be checked by their corp or alliance (or themselves!) so whilst different factions may want particular candidates elected it is up to each individual pilot who does get in.

You have my vote, because I like your take on most of the topics brought to you. Good luck!

Thank you! There are two sides to every story in EVE and I've tried to express in this thread and elsewhere where I see the issues at present and some options for the future, but how the CSM actually works and moves things on will depend not just on those selected to serve but also on all pilots being free to express their own views without being stamped on. I intend in EVE and the CSM to be as I am 'IRL'; free from permanently-fixed opinions; open to the thoughts and ideas of others; and fair to all sides in an argument, supporting all sides to ensure a full discussion on a topic.

To everyone who has supported me over the psat 14 days, many thanks, and here's to a great result being announced on Wednesday ;-P

2. On a more personal note, we share the same first name, what other good reason do I need?

---

best reason evah! On one of my many websites I used to have links to everyone who had the same (full) name as me, but yes, we A's need to stick together ;-P

Well done Inanna, nice to see a Matari on the council
You ran a good campaign and were responsive to questions and voter issues, glad you made it.

True, though I don't eat them myself (and I've no idea who that pic is of). I do like platypuses (platypi?) though ... preferably on toast with a nice green salad.

HURRAH! well done, I'm glad the candidate I voted for won a place I look forward to seeing some player-centric changes from this council.

Well CCP insisted in making us reveal our rl identities so I suppose we have to accept this sort of thing sadly

It is tradition to mock people who hold 'office', so I suppose we are going to have to live with it!

I am wondering if your stance on pirating is heavy handed, and do you have a hunger to learn at the CSM where you can pick up new things to bite your teeth into?

---

I've no idea where you get the idea I'm 'heavy handed' on pirating from; it is a game mechanic like every other 'profession' in EVE and whilst I might not like being on the receiving end of it I certainly don't see a reason to stop it (indeed one *couldn't* stop it even if someone wanted to, just like in the China seas or off East Africa here on Earth!)

Food is good though (and now I'm off to get some ... ttfn)

Let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that posting images directly to the forums, especially real life images, will result in a warning or ban.

---

If posting images directly on the forums is not allowed why was the facility to do so deliberately added recently?

Inappropriate link. ~~~Applebabe

I would like to know Inanna's position on posting images on the eve-o forums, and what she may or may not plan to do as a CSM to preserve our newfound ability to share screenshots, photos from get togethers with fellow capsuleers, and even occasional real-life out-of-pod experience photographs such as the one that waterfowl has shared with us. Who is that crazy looking hobo on the left anyways waterfowl?

---

Well, as they say, "far be it from me to go against the powers that be but ..." ;-P

As it happens I thought the pic of me and my mum after my graduation was quite funny (and so did she when I told her) and, sadly it has now been removed because I've come up to visit her and was going to show it to her and now can't.

As regards the posting off images *not of ingame* to the forums, clearly there has to be some moderation, either pre- or post- as it could (would!) quite quickly descend rapidly to pictures of helicopter penii attacking Gary Kasparov etc (watch it on youtube - it is quite funny). Whilst such pictures might be amusing to some it wouldn't be to others and would very probably cause CCP problems and that would be very not good. Links should be fine though (so long as no rickrolling. rickrolling is bad 'mkay?)

And yes, as Hardin and others have pointed out, standing for the CSM meant disclosing our full names and, by and large, this sort of behaviour was to be expected so that it arrived so quickly isn't a surprise.

"photos from get togethers with fellow capsuleers" is something I think would be great to see (see! we are normal people not just geeks who sit on a computer 24 hours a day in the cellar!) both by other pilots and for people outside EVE. But CCP has spoken and this is their playground ;-P
