There will always be the one person whom is ruining the game for everyone else according to some people. It is good for the game because it drives conflict, creates content and puts a fire under some to change things. We should embrace our space soap opera and wallow in the tears it creates. It doesn't get better than made up space drama. Imagine if null sec was dominated by a few dozen players along with all of it's vast fortunes. I'm pretty sure the Eve player base would push for a change in mechanics to prevent this. Regardless of the skill and political savvy of those few dozen I don't believe the sandbox would survive within those parameters.
M1tch...good point, however, NulSec IS controlled by a handful of folks. The shear scope means they are Coalition leaders not alliance and Corp leaders but the concept is the same.

- He is CPM, so far as a CPM i don't think he used the info to his advantage.
- He is a dust player on top being a CPM, so that sort of gives him the right to do whatever he wants in game. If all the other players can't beat him in game or in Meta gaming, then it's not exactly his fault. He is only doing what is best for him and his Corp and allies. Would you do it any differently if you had the chance ?!
- He did build IMPs, (Still would love to fight that IMP A team), Spero Escrow Services (Which does all the business legitly)
- He out-smarted other Dust politicians. Which was entertaining to watch. Not taking sides, but most of the dust politicians i've come across, they have failed to play their cards properly in time. I have seen so many So called leaders fail at Meta. But the ones that do, have succeeded and received multiple "Hatechu" threads lol
Other than people writing so many threads about Kain, Mavado, Cubs, Kujo, Zatara, Radar... Shouldn't people try to outsmart them and beat them or just fight them properly ?! Zerg attacks and **** don't work if you don't have the players for it... EoN made it work... It worked against EoN for the same reasons....
NAV you raise some good points and I would offer a couple as well that go along with this:
1) The only person that will ever know if Kane Spero used inside information is him unless someone comes up with 8x10 glossy photos for evidence. Having and NDA doesn't necessarily preclude you from taking action to prepare yourself for things coming down the road. To be clear, I'm not saying he's doing anything underhanded...I'm saying that no one here can make a definitive call that he's abusing CPM information or just sharp at the game....or both.
2) As for outsmarting and outfighting ...I'm with you on this with a couple caveats. The way the game is constructed right now less than a 100 players can rampage through PC and just about shut out the few thousand other players since Dust / gaming is essentially a part time job for them. That is pretty handy accomplishment and I have a healthy amount of respect for that. But it's not healthy for the game long term.
I don't want to re-distribute PC corps land / ISK. I want more places for us to fight and more to the point...make time and distance matter. If you had to move to a system to take it like you did in EVE (or more to the point move our assets to the systems via EVE) you would see smaller corps that have a great EVE connection suddenly become very competitive. If we could expand out of Molden Heath you give breathing room for people.
So, yes....I want to outfight them in the arena but it's not an option to even step up for most corps or players.
