You can't help the M&S

I was fighting against morons and slackers since the birth of this blog. I was proving that those who can't progress are not "undergeared" or "casual" or "newbie" but simply dumb and lazy people who deserve to be left behind. My blog slogan is "It's more fun without morons and slackers". I keep saying that social people, the ones who want to be loved and respected by peers give freebies to the M&S keeping them alive. They make themselves believe that the M&S suck because of things out of their control. It was disproved by many successful players and some of my projects like the "undergeared" was doing the same. One thing remained: the socials keep believing that while the M&S is maybe responsible for his situation, they can become better people. All they need is ... a little help (more freebies).

Since I'm playing EVE, which is dubbed as "the most harsh an unforgiving game", I'm constantly doing the opposite what I was doing in WoW. No, not about money, I'm collecting pretty nice amount disproving that a newbie can't do anything alone in this game. But with all the suggestions and philosophy posts I keep defending "carebears", claiming that they need more help and protection from the "evil griefers" who are the biggest reason for their misery (and never their own inability to think, read or act). While most readers guessed I'll be in GSF in a week with my philosophy I turned out to be yet another "bad-bad griefer" crying carebear.

My holy crusade to save the M&S from "factors out of their control" peaked in creating the Voice of Highsec. It was perfect in every possible way:

• It had an obvious way of being successful: CCP listen to CSM and votes = CSM seats.
• It was selfless. I would not profit from it in any possible way, the opposite, I sacrifice an alt spot to level up corporation management, I did the administration and the angry Goons would hunt me
• It was current. The forums are drowning in Hulkageddon tears.
• It needed very little from the "unlucky poor ones". I mean they have a very successful real life so they have little time in a "stupid pixel game" and that little time is seriously taxed by having to spend hours crying on the forums. So it would be unfair to ask them to donate ISK or participate in any activity, let alone take any risk. All they had to give is an empty character slot or a non-undocking alt, something that every carebear has (there isn't really much reason for a PvE player to spread his points between various alts except to bypass manufacturing/research/trade slots)
• It was anonymous. They did not risk any in-game or social consequences of giving support, as no one could link the joined alt to their main
• I competed no one else, I entered a virgin field. There wasn't any CSM or community support for carebears (EVE-Uni is trying to teach them to be better instead of supporting them as they are). It's not like I was competing with other, better projects
• I am not some random Tom, Dick or Harriett whose (otherwise good) plan won't work. I have one of the most read blogs in the community. CSM head Selene commented on it several times. I am linked and quoted in EVE24. I have my own channel with 50-100 people every day. Hell, I even got a congratulation mail from The Mittani for my blog. If I don't have the critical mass to make difference, no one has.

So you might guessed, the "poor victims of ganking, the casual players with rich real life and those who are simply not assholes" were swarming under the flag of the Voice of Highsec to finally make EVE a better place.

If you are a social you guessed. That's why I built this leftist dream. Well, it's time for you to face the numbers:

• 912 people checked the project page. No, they aren't just random visitors of my blog, they explicitly clicked on the page link.
• 598 people read the post on the official forums.
• 249 google hits going to various forums, blogs, community sites that discussed this idea, giving it even more visiblity
• 10 members in the corp after a week. If we subtract myself and those people who sent me a mail telling that while they live in null, they wanted to give their support to me (not the project), we get 5. Maximum 5 real carebears were ready to make a few clicks to support an organization that was created for the sole purpose of helping them.

Do you still believe that you can help them?
Do you still think that they are victims of factors out of their control?
Do you still hope that they can be better than useless crap full of entitlement?
Do you still waiting for some miracle to happen or are you ready to jump into a Trasher and give them what they deserve?!


PS: the corporation is obviously closed down and you won't find any more "save the carebears" posts here. And no, they weren't troll, I did not know how it will end. I did the "support the weak" thing as as seriously and good as I could, just as a real bleeding-heart socialist would have done it.
