I want to know how will mr James help poor 95% of high sec (miners) that are being oppressed by 1% of bad hi-sec people?

Then i can cast my vote.

Based on his track record, I have every confidence that James will make life better for all hisec focused players: miners, missioners, and the "1%" alike (though I'm not sure who you mean by that). The only ones who should fear his CSM-ship are the botters, whom he strongly disapproves of.

I'd vote for James 315 for CSM8.

With all two of my accounts!

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Do you want them to get good things, or are you happy just leaving them like that...

I guess I'll play along for a bit...
So James, what is it you would do to help enhance the EVE experience for new players such as myself? What kind of content, or enhancements would you work to help create in highsec to provide us with a more enjoyable gaming experience?

Honestly though after browsing CSM minutes and listening to town hall meetings I don't exactly see what the point of this whole CSM gig is beyond perhaps a popularity contest who's winners apparently win free round trip airfare to Iceland (which I assume is paid for by our subscription fees). Surely CCP could (and I hope does) read forum feedback from the community itself rather than relying solely on a council of players, among whom I don't feel a single one currently represents me as a new player.

I take it you've tried reading the forums and found the amazing feed back, such as:

Because of Falcon
Blobbers
Nerf Local
Buff CONCORD
Gankers ?! In my highsec?

I wouldn't know about any of those things, I'm more concerned with stuff like how long it takes me to train basic combat skills required to be competitive against established players, the repetitive nature of missions, and how changes to highsec being called for by those who live in low/nullsec will affect my new player experience.

These are not discussed that much in the forums, if you hadn't noticed. So CCP reading the forums would miss what you were looking for in one case or the other case.

Sure, maybe it comes up, but before long, talking about newbie systems turns into mining in highsec turns into gankers turns into ~~


Perhaps you should try running, though by then you might have been in EVE a bit too long ~~

About a week.

Seriously, you can really screw up an established players day with less than a weeks worth of training.

It helps to have friends. Nothing like being that newbie who pointed and webbed (in that order!) some poor tengu resulting in a fiery death.

Anyone who recognizes my posts knows James has my vote.

Although if Tippia really ran...that would be an extremely hard decision. I respect both characters and do not know how I would decide to vote in that case.

James for CSM 8!

...or...

Tippia for CSM 8!

****...whateva...

James315 for CSM 8!

CCP should hire him and her wilkuss as main developer , , pretty sure we then can ALL look for another game before xmass

Serious , while i respect the person , i absolutely detest his views and ideas about EvE , they are selfish , absolute boring and will only turn this game in a pretty boring glorified Arcade game

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

No. Emergent gameplay is taking the tools and structure within a game and doing things with them that are beyond the scope and imagination of the developer.

Emergent gameplay can also be created by adding multiple players to the same game environment and having their individual actions impact the overall game narrative.

Our friend James 315 looked at the current state of high sec and realized: No one is doing anything imaginative here. They just DO things the developers intended. Like mining and running missions. Very theme-parkish, hardly worthy of a sandbox.

So he thought: how can I shake things up? Create a new narrative. Suicide ganking is blasé, lets do something different. Something emergent. Lets tell a new story. Without going into his whole manifesto and philosophies (which are quite brilliant) James 315 has created content where there was none. Player created content and player driven stories.

In high sec of all places.
