I'll admit it is far too easy and there needs to be some 'challenge' added for it to happen. Over time though corps will eventually burn all the alts out of the corp so this problem might die down or be reasonably managed within the coming weeks well before CCP pushes out a Sony patch to fix it.
/kick or /votekick option would result in well... lets say far more drama and actual 'real grief' than Awoxing itself.
Example 1 of why kick is bad.
Timmy wanted to enjoy PC for the first time, he is rather fresh and nobody else was available to help fight at the minute the battle started. Timmy we come to find out is far better than originally though far better than the guy he is filling in for. Johnny logs on a minute late to the fight and see that Timmy took his spot. Johnny /kicks Timmy right in the middle of a what would have been a game winning hack and costs the corporation the planet. Johnny would have got fired but he's the CEO and blames Timmy for the loss and kicks him from the corp for something not his fault.
Example 2 of why kick is bad.
Floyd is a spy, he got the role to kick people from a corp match. The corp all goes into a battle and Floyd being very sneaky invites his not so friendly friends and makes them squad leader, and then kicks everyone that isn't his friends out. End Result nobody suspects Floyd because Floyd isn't in the fight and there is not a single friendly on the field. The one sided match does into a grand Mario Kart Race.
TL:DR
Barring the /kick option. What other 'out of the box' solutions would you have? Role? Other Mechanics? Corp Tools? Flagging?
Anyways the floor is yours guys and gals; have at it.
Hypothetical situations in an argument are known as "counterfactuals" and are typically voided from discussion by a judge. Counterfactuals don't prove anything since they are not based in any actual fact, merely a system of "what ifs".
Once again I point out that there is little intelligence requirement to be a CPM. Apparently you don't need to know how government works (representation), nor do you need to understand dialectical arguments.
Who at CCP thought it'd be a good idea to hand over positions of power within a game like this to a bunch of people who most likely only have GEDs and live in their mom's basement, and if not that...at best have an Associates Degree from their local community college? Wasn't one of EVE's major representatives someone who died in a terrorist attack because he actually WAS an educated and sophisticated political mind?
I would expect that positions that require intelligence to run would also dictate intelligent representatives. Instead, CCP seemed to do what the Germans thought was fancy: Just elect whoever's popular among the community...no matter what their background.
The European Union is a more effective government than the CPM, and that says a lot...especially considering that the EU hasn't accomplished anything. |
