In other words, you're jealous...  It's a game about internet spaceships, not something serious like getting passed over for a promotion IRL.

As for those individuals, several of them have been very active in RP lately, especially in the Summit channel and from threads I've been watching on the boards.  Conversely, I've seen basically zero of Dax.  If you want more of the spotlight, make your character better known, otherwise don't cry when you get passed over for an event.

Bleh, most factional blocs always prefer to keep their laundry cleaning private anyway, in the hope to prevent giving the enemy free ammo and let them see the internal in fighting.

And it's better that way, it becomes less tedious to know what's going on (unlike Arek Jalaan or the Sansha invasions that were monopolized by a few chosen players). There is still place for more private secret stuff happening.

Can you go into detail about the bolded part?

[Silas Vitalia]

Sakura Nihil has it exactly right.

We should be happy for our Caldari RPers involved in this arc; it seems interesting and good for them. 

People need to chill our about the 'THIS EVENT IS BEING MONOPOLIZED BY A FEW PEOPLE' thing. 

Every event and every arc is not going to involve everyone.  There's a lot of factions, and lots of RPers for very small slices of those factions.

We all get our 5 minutes in the spotlight now and then; let's be happy for other people and let them enjoy theirs instead of bitter jealous rays.

Heh, I'm staying faaaaaar away from this one. From my perspective, it looks like a promotion for the Guristas, and one not subtly implemented by a Guristas-affiliated pilot. Former pilot. Heh. And those do not typically end well for any Caldari RPers involved. On the other hand, if my character were a Gurista, I'd be all over this, so go to it. 

I was sorta hoping that this would somehow end in the ousting of Heth, but that appears dim at the moment. Still, it springs eternal and all that.

Heth-Haan is not going to abdicate authority from the results of a lawsuit.  They'll have to kill him.

Am I jealous, however I am also happy that people I consider friends are having fun.  We all spend time and effort on this shared hobby and put what time we can in and we all want it to be fun and not a second job.

As for those individuals, several of them have been very active in RP lately, especially in the Summit channel and from threads I've been watching on the boards.  Conversely, I've seen basically zero of Dax.  If you want more of the spotlight, make your character better known, otherwise don't cry when you get passed over for an event.

I was explaining my frustration at trying to participate and help others to participate via means other than IGS.

I was not looking for a spotlight - I took on a different role in response to the event and as the event moved along found myself filling a role I asked friends to fulfill (because the story forced a change in their role).

I should rephrase my position: the players did not monopolize the story-arc.

In my opinion,  CCP's actors have created a mechanism in the story-arc (the legal case) that limits avenues for others to interact with the story.

[Silas Vitalia]

I see what you are saying, but I think its perfectly fine for things to occasionally be limiting and not have all that much room for other players.   

We can't very well have all of the Caladari RPers participate in a legal case.  Maybe it will lead to in space drama that more people can help or hinder?

Sometimes events are small and limited in scope (the Slave run EM just did), sometimes they are large and lots of people get shot (1st round of Sansha incursions).  It's fun to have both styles in play, and to not have all events overlap in the same gameplay manor.

Being active in the summit had better not be the only criteria for getting selected for an RP arc.

I'm pretty sure it's not.  Unlike a lot of other RP from CCP in the past, I think Falcon and his cadre don't have their heads up their asses, and will do well in running these things.  Count me in the "optimistic" camp for this one.

My only gripe is make some of these events US TZ, please!

[Katrina Oniseki]

I would imagine that participating in Live Events, staying in contact with a dev actor via mail, and IGS posts are what gets CCP's notice.

[Sepherim]

Would sound logical, yes Katrina.

As for this whole storyline, I must admit I'm quite intrigued to see where it leads.

[Khloe]

Something other than euro would be awesome.

Why does CCP hate Australia

[Aelisha Montenagre]

Thank you for your candidness dex, I appreciate it and now understand your pov much better.  My part in this as Sol is unintentional, she has always aligned herself against the federation and Heth's regime has not been kind to her frayed sense of self restraint.  Basically she is a rarely vocal attack dog and this litigation is likely to make her even less likely to speak publicly about her beliefs (bigoted as they are).

My only advice here is to approach the CEP rep for potentially sympathetic megacorp contacts.  Ael has been trying to get in touch with the suvee rep (if one exists) but a lack of game time and the fact she is an immigrant have slowed her efforts.  Her dedication to the state is without question in her mind, but Caldari probably dont see it that way and she isnt going to push the issue.

[Pieter Tuulinen]

Obviously I understand how it might be seen that a certain group of State Loyalist RPers are getting more than their fair share of attention right now, given the segue from the WHG dissolution into the Kaalakiota legal case.

On the other hand, given the path that the State is heading down, it makes sense that a group of extremely Loyalist Caldari would be picked for at least part of it.

I'm not suggesting that I'm any more deserving of Falcon's time than anybody else, but I have been fairly active in portraying myself as a poster-boy Loyalist - only a matter of time before I said something that got me burned, eh?
