Because if you have a developer literally - so this is Larrikin’s first really big announcement, right? - like, how do you walk into a room, look somebody in the eye, and say I just literally ruined your announcement at your first time in Vegas. There’s a lot of what we can’t even do anymore. So, to answer your question, I don’t regret it, but I do have a lot of regrets about how this has gone on and at this point I don’t know if it’s even salvageable. They have a lot of support that they don’t have that they need from their management. The CSM has a huge amount of potential, but this lady and this gentleman down there do an amazing job on what they can do. Like, I wasn’t joking when I was talking to Mike about this. We’ve also had internal discussions about why even have a CSM. We’ve had internally with the CSM a number of people who are like, “Yeah, why bother? We should just all resign.” And I don’t mean like one person. Like, we are borderline not functional as an organization right now because, when you don’t have that trust, people don’t actually have the freedom to talk to a developer to talk to you about this stuff.

The transcript is not exact as I took out the "uh","ah", and other fillers to make the statements more readable. I transcribed appoximately 5 minutes of the recording. Three of us, Lanctharus, Lockefox, and myself, attended the CSM Roundtable held at EVE Vegas, and Lanctharus posted an audio recording of the event. I know that looking at an institution from the outside can lead to misunderstanding what is really going on within the body due to not knowing all the facts.īut I think we had a reason for some of our pessimism.
I understand that some people didn't like our comments, in particular some members of the CSM.
I was a part of CSM Watch's panel that took a look at the activities of CSM 10 and opined about the future of the Council of Stellar Management as an institution.
