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."

Back in the real worl a while ago, a group of people coloinized a newly discovered land, they lived in it for a while, just trying to survive and paying little attention to the taxes they were paying the king. Then when things get comfortable they decide that the taxes are unfair and they want to rule themselves. And with some persuasion they got a goverment elected by the people for the people. They without to much in the way of investiveness or whimsy called it the united states of america. wow, history really does like to come and bite people in the rump.
