CSM Campaigns

Hi there DNSBLACK.

I have read your initial post and it has left me wondering. You repeat a few times how you are essentially the non-bloc candidate. Then furthermore as far as what you do in eve you write "we strive to do everything".

This essentially tells me nothing. After reading that I have no real idea what you do in eve, where your interests lie or what aspects of the game you get passionate about.

Now about that passionate part. Not that many months ago you got rather passionate about the situation with SOMER blink. Now I'm not here to dredge that all up, the issue itself is not that important. But the actions you took, the things you said. In hindsight do you think you handled that well? Was that an example of DNSBLACK getting serious about an issue?

Let me end this post by saying that these are not intended as critiques, but simply honest questions to find out more about what you stand for, and what kind of person you are.

There is a simple solution to this: you set up a "900" number.

I mean, for $5/minute, I'd even listen to you, Josh.

God help us all if he finds Twitter . Probably rival Xander for #daily tweets.

Its not easy to earn the respect of the EVE bitter vet community such as Brad has with his energy and enthusiasm, I cant wait for the new players to see him in action for this coming CSM!

DNSBLACK for CSM!

DNSBLACK is a great Candidate for CSM9, if you ask anyone that knows him, he is all about creating content for the EvE player whether friend or foe. He understands the perspective of the EvE player and is well capable of putting thoughts into words and explaining and discussing the ideas, wants, or dislikes that players deal with and discuss everyday.

I completely support DNSBLACK, he is the man for the job. Vote DNSBLACK for CSM9

This is the reason why I have my doubts regarding DNSBLACK. There are ways of getting your point across without "giving the devs a piece of your mind". This way of communication is going to be aimed at people who are voluntarily spending their time to listen to him. Getting in their face and "laying down the law" is only going to cause them all to ignore him, and potentially ignore the rest of the CSM too.

The past few years have seen CCP taking the CSM and subsequently the players, more seriously than ever before. Would DNSBLACK diving in feet first and and giving CCP a piece of his mind undo all of this progress?

After having the honor of working with Black a few times back in my TISF days, and then again in the lowsec days when he kindly helped me get our alliance off the ground, I would count that as being enough to endorse his running for CSM.
However, after then having the pleasure of finally meeting him last year at Fanfest after his brilliant "Coaching them up" talk with my former CEO Exooki, I cannot give enough praise to DNS, and he totally deserves to be elected for the CSM

He has my vote, and I believe the vote of our entire alliance for what it is worth. Bravo good sir - looking forward to seeing you in the CSM next year

Will not vote for a tantrum thrower -1

My understanding (and I could be wrong here) is that the vast majority of the protests that took part during the Incarna Summer of Rage were composed of shouting on the forums, shooting at a monument, unsubbing or some combination thereof. None of which actively breaks the EULA.

I'm on the fence about DNSBlack over exactly this issue. I eagerly await his response to the questions raised in this thread as to how he dealt with the Somer situation from last year. Once I hear that, I feel I'll be able to make a better decision on him one way or the other.

dnsblack aka recon lossmail specialist how many buffs do you plan on advocating for recons to compensate for your complete inability to fly them
