In recent news, Brisc Rubal was summarily ejected from CSM 13 (https://www.eveonline.com/article/ppne2z/brisc-rubal-removed-from-the-csm-13). We caught up with Brisc over a covfefe to understand his point of view.
EVE Onion: Well, that was interesting! Who were you working with to pull off this little transaction?
Brisc Rubal: There was no collusion. Everybody knows there was no collusion.
EO: Some say this wasn’t very smart, an aspiring politician pulling something like this in a public forum with real world consequences. Others say it was sheer marketing genius. What’s your take?
BR: Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Brisc Rubal!
EO: Do you think it’s fair to so quickly lay out these allegations without any chance for your rebuttal?
BR: The media is—really, the word, I think one of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with—is fake.
EO: You mentioned when we were chatting before the interview that you will be spinning up a new character and hide it in one of the Russian alliances. Do you think that will work?
BR: Russia will have much greater respect for our alliance when I am leading it, than when other people have led it.
EO: We asked Jin’taan if he wanted to interview you first but he said you were “old news already”. What do you have to say to that?
BR: Why would Jin’taan insult me by calling me “old”, when I would NEVER call him “short and fat”? Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend—maybe someday that will happen!
EO: We understand this went directly to Hilmar when CCP heard the news. What do you think of his decision to permanently cancel your accounts?
BR: Crooked Hilmar is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. He just can’t stop…Hilmar, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!
EO: Wow, those are pretty strong words. Are you saying you are not to blame for these actions?
BR: Well, I do think there’s blame—yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. You look at…you look at both sides. I think there’s blame on both sides.
EO: Do you feel you’re alone in these allegations or have others approached you about this?
BR: The EVE membership is fed up with the disrespect CCP is paying to our subscriptions, our corporations, and our alliances. Weak and out of control!
EO: Some people are saying you don’t respect the NDA. What do you say to them?
BR: I have tremendous respect for women.
EO: In light of these events, was it a mistake to put you on the CSM?
BR: I was elected to represent the citizens of EVE, not CCP!
EO: Do you actually believe EVE players have more respect for you now?
BR: I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.
EO: Well, it’s all moot as I guess you have no recourse…why are you smiling?
BR: Will someone from CCP’s regime please inform them that I, too, have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger and more powerful one than theirs. And it works!
At this point, Mr. Rubal began to hug himself and mumble things like make EVE great again while obsessively fixing his hair. However, it appears from his last comment that this story is far from over.
