What happens when you put kids in charge of kids? Not a damn thing. I type in the purely mental aspect of this also. Not one person on the council has the >Balls< to speak out against another of their council members nor do they dress down CCP for the faults ingame creating situations that have nothing to do with game mechanics. NO, they might lose the hollow position they hold if they become unpopular.

Lets all remember first and formost why the council was created in the first place.....to keep players from leaving because of CCP's corruption, a noble idea to make players part of the "real world" and monitor and get info from CCP directly and keep subs, nothing else.

If the "council" cannot take the steps needed to close real life exploit gaps in the game by pressuring CCP to change them and make ingame counters to these, to enhance gameplay and make rules and "govern" as they should, establishing consequence as a council should and make some intuitive leap to amaze the player base, why have it in the first place?

........ah yes, once a joke, always a joke.
