G.A.N.J.A. Protest Held in Rens
Rens, Heimatar - Following on from a recent article by The Interstellar Correspondents, G.A.N.J.A. corporation held a non-violent protest in Rens where they and 3 other corporations (the identity of which has not been revealed by the G.A.N.J.A. spokesperson) self-destructed some 79 ships.
The protesters gathered at the Brutor tribe Treasury located at planet VI, moon 8 in Rens; the station is a popular local trade hub. G.A.N.J.A’s demonstration took the same form as their previous protest in Orvolle - they docked in the station, undocked and self-destructed their ships, then redocked in their capsules before repeating the process.
G.A.N.J.A. have warned that this will be their last non-violent protest; the Minmatar Republic have made no official response to the protestors’ call for compensation for Ammatar farmers who suffered damage to their plantations at the hands of a Minmatar-Thukker slave recovery force.
Kimberly Hughes, the spokesperson for G.A.N.J.A, expressed outrage at the continued silence of the Minmatar Parliament and revealed plans to escalate their protests. “We shall strike at various convoys in the Minmatar State [sic]. We shall hit the Minmatar where they hit the Ammatar, through their trade; we shall try to collapse the economy!”
Despite the peaceful nature of the Rens protest, G.A.N.J.A. had difficulties with one capsuleer, who caused some disturbance by salvaging wrecks of their destroyed ships. Though G.A.N.J.A. had battleships standing by, the protest remained non-violent despite the actions of this pilot - a well-known local anti-hero by the name of Menod Penter. Penter, known as “The Mayor of Rens” has operated in Rens for many years with his small crime syndicate, but he also runs a very successful operation selling anchorable secure containers.
Kimberly revealed how G.A.N.J.A. have responded to their encounter with the racketeer. “We have received intelligence about an individual who calls himself the ‘Mayor of Rens’ and we in G.A.N.J.A feel it would be nice to have his corpse hanging on meat hooks in our hangers.”
Members within G.A.N.J.A. have recieved orders to kill Mr Penter on sight, as they see him as a high-profile target that would help them gain publicity and support for their cause. Whether such attempts will result in “suicide by CONCORD” or a declaration of war will be issued remains to be seen.
With attacks threatened across the Minmatar Republic from G.A.N.J.A, Kimberly claimed the silence from the Minmatar government only encourages them. “For every moment that passes, we simply get angrier and angrier and plan even yet more cataclysmic consequences.”

Call for Candidates - the fourth Council of Stellar Management
Is it that time once more?
Yes it is!
Soon we will open the candidate applications page for the fourth term of the CSM (details of dates below). Like the three terms before, the full name and location of the candidate will be published, along with the candidate’s character name, URL and campaign message. All candidates have to submit a scan of their valid passport in order to be considered eligible candidates and be 21 years of age or more. Furthermore, it is very important to have 100% correct and up to date ownership information on all of your user accounts, as all of them will be checked.
Why should you run for the CSM?
Because you affect EVE, both in the short term and in the long run. The best example of that is the upcoming changes to 0.0 sovereignty (here and here)– the first two CSMs have laid the groundwork for a complete overhaul of that mechanic and is now showing the fruits of that labor. The third CSM was directly involved in a brainstorming session regarding the current ideas and possible future additions to the mechanics of 0.0.
Furthermore it needs to be noted that roughly 60% of all issues brought up by the CSM have either been already added to the game or are on the horizon; changes to the UI and Factional Warfare being the largest groups of items not yet slated for release while having been injected to the backlog where they are ready to be processed when the resources are directed to those venues.
What has the CSM done so far?
The skill queue. The CSM convinced us to just do it.
The new probing system. It has been fine-tuned based largely on CSM’s comments.
The new ship fitting tool. Where would we be without it?
The unique approach of democratic elections as a selection process for a player council is unheard of — together we can make history and make EVE a better place for all.
The CSM white paper and the summary of it can be found if you chase these links.
Following are the important dates for the fourth CSM:
October, 5th. Opening for candidacy runs for the fourth CSM.
October, 19th. Closing for the candidacy applications.
November, 12th. Voting for the fourth CSM opens.
November, 26th. Voting for the fourth CSM closes.
December, 2nd. A permanent announcement made about the results of the fourth CSM elections.
December, 5th 2009, Saturday. The fourth CSM will meet online for the first time.
February, 24th - 28th 2010, Wednesday to Sunday. The fourth CSM arrives in Iceland to speak with CCP.
Throw your hat in the ring - make history.
