Eve Online to Elect Player Oversight Group

StCredZero writes "The New York Times is reporting on plans by EVE Online developer CCP to open itself up to independent oversight. In response to the recent allegations of misconduct, they are proposing a system of 'nine player-overseers who will act as ombudsmen for the game's subscribers. The company says it will hold the elections in the fall.' Systems will be put into the game to support this ombudsmen status, making this (effectively) a player-run world governance system."

Oh, there'll be another election in a year for "supervisors of balance", whose primary role will be to keep an eye on their activity.

A year later, we'll get "comtrollers" who'll check those supervisors.

And in three or four years, every player will have some kinda fancy surveillance title and complain that there's not enough control...
