CSM Campaigns

I also endorse Sugar Kyle for CSM

This was like wading through a pile of crap to find the bone, then finding out there was no bone.

How many paragraphs did he just post and literally tell no one about any ideas he had to improve anything?

It was like watching a real political ad, he really didnt tell you anything you really wanted to know.

Sure can't decide yes to someone with NO POSITION.

Do not forward me to a different link where the information is he should of explained here.

+1 vote, no questions asked. CSM of our hearts.

Sugar is a fine member of the CSM and demonstrates and innate ability to related to and help most, if not all, players.

Here is my endorsement. +1

Hurrah for Sugar!

Sugar removes the bones and presents only the steak.

Greetings all,

You don’t know me. In Eve’s big scheme I’m well nigh nobody; just another undifferentiated basement dwelling soloish player. Still as chance would have it I ran across Sugar Kyle’s blog not long after her election to CSM9, found it a congenial place to hang and stuck around. The reading’s good, the company’s a pleasure and we basement dwellers get to not only spout off on occasion, but actually get listened to by a member of the CSM. You may or may not change her mind, just as she may or may not change yours, but your concerns will not be ignored.

So, as you read through the important people endorsements above (and no doubt more to come below) keep in mind that if you’re a basement dweller like me, Sugar Kyle deserves a place on your ballot.

Sugar's been a standout of CSM9. I've seen her at work at EVE Vegas, she's a natural. Definitely voting for her in a high position.

When you chose representatives, you don't necessarily need one with his/her own vision (that happens to mostly match yours), someone who actively gathers information, concerns, ideas and presents them to people who have final say on the matter, would work as well, if not better.

I was trying to figure how my ballot will look and honestly I had other candidates in mind for priority position, but if securing a place for Kyle means that primary function of CSM - being a voice of playerbase in CCP's ears - is carried out, then this is where my voice goes.

I admit, I wasn't around this year and so I missed most of OP's work as CSM representative, but from my past and present experience, if you can't contact her, you aren't trying. Having someone like that on CSM has an advantage: you will be able to relay concerns of your group of players even if those didn't arise and got formalized prior to election, regardless of where you live and what you do.

Props to Kyle for her style because that sounds to me like CSM on hard mode.

I like the idea presented of a more interactive interface that responds to what the player is doing instead of spoon-feeding them content. It is more adaptable and it puts a new player into an inquisitive mode where they get responses for their curiosity.

Currently, the NPE is funneling our players into structured content. It makes sense until you remember that we are playing Eve and the game does not feed us content but we must go and find it. That means expectations are created that have to be corrected later.

I think the goal of introducing the new player to Eve in a grander scale is a good one.


Being involved in helping new players as a CSM member allows me to gather and condense common problems, questions, interests, and concerns for CCP to use to help focus their development. A CSM member involved with new players can share what they are experiencing helping new players with their game. The new players experience is different from a veteran player and we cannot structure all of the new player experience on the known player’s knowledge. We miss small, obvious things because we are used to them.

Then as CCP develops a new player experience or tweaks their new player experience the early CSM interaction helps get things on the proper path. The recent graph showing the real average age of Eve players has also said to me that if we approach this seriously, we’d get some type of adult education foundations worked into whatever our new tutorial system is. We’d use what we gather from the players, see in rookie chat, and know are hurdles that have existed for years, and use modern tools to propose change and direction alongside of CCP’s grand scope of project.
