CSM Campaigns

1) Not an alt.

2) I do understand that content can always be made of one looks hard enough. My point is there are options for the addition of "different" content to allow for diversity. Also as far as my corp is concerned that's not a factor. Nor should I need to reference in with that argument.

3) I do understand your veiw for that one. I would however always like to see lower SP players become viable in WHs

4) refer to answer for #3

As much as I do not like the way this post was written, it does outlines a few weakness.
My one eyebrow also nearly crawled into my scalp at the underlined part.

However, I think your concern about the large alliance is valid.
At best, having people focused on worm holes, I think you are looking at specialists. I would say you need two representatives that live in two different systems, a Class 2 and a Class 5. We can argue that sleepers are sleepers and the mechanics of the links and such, blah blah, but there are some differences, not as obvious as low sec and null sec for example but the income, the type of neighbours you have, the usual size of the corps and alliances, et cetera, make for different flavours of worm hole living.

I also struggle to see how you can get the word out to all the worm hole people because from my time in there, people weren't knocking on my POS and asking for a bit of ice, they were generally trying to kill me when I was out and about in systems or passing through as unseen and quickly as possible.

So, evolve. Fast.
Hopefully, we can have two or more worm hole representatives.

Also, try get all the people that are in other parts of space and are thinking, "Well, I would live in worm holes if the following changes occured ..."

My wish list?

• Removed the frigate links that have no mass limit.
• Reverse the D-scan immunity.
• Allow alliances to build an outpost / station in their system.
• Allow worm holes burn masses of fuel to keep a link open, without mass limit, long enough to burn out their neighbours (worm hole to worm hole only).

but most of your game time hasn't been spent in wormhole space on Cortex. If you've been in wormhole space on "an alt".... Why not run on "the alt". If you've spent most of your playing time of this game in wormhole space... I implore you to prove it.

If you really need a example of proof, I'll give you myself.

I entered wormhole space in December of 2012. Joined a random a corporation based in a C4 with a C2 static. Initially they were miners (I know), but they had a good core group of people. CEO changes, we turn into a PVP corporation throwing T1 cruisers at T3 fleets (the logic is that if we took one of them out, we were isk positive And we caused the guy to lose 3 to 4 days of training time). We left the C4 to search for another place. Wound up in a C1 after meeting some good people. Hung there for maybe 2 months, but our group was way too large for it. Moved to a C2 temporarily (after spending a week diving into wormhole space trying to find a viable home), then joined a Merc Corp Alliance. Wound up in C6 space rage rolling for PVP and running escalation sites on the side. We'd take contracts to do defense fleets for people.

Participated in one of the most devastating ops where we sacked 500 billion isk in wormhole space ( this was before the SMA loot drop fix, thanks CCP :-/. ).

On the side, I never left the C1 as we had a few people who enjoyed it. Ran PI out of there, ran gas reactions out of there, managed the pos's out of there. I was running this under directorship roles from the corporation (god I hate that interface).

Left after usual drama lama stuff in alliance (some caused by myself). That and they moved out of wormhole space.

Wandered around a bit, tried Brave for fun, almost went into their wormhole corp but the nightmare of living out of pos's in super large corporate alliance got to me ( i was doing that before, no fun ). Joined another wormhole group but realized they were looking to join a large alliance themselves. Found Isogen 5 and they reminded me how wormhole space used to be. Smaller gang, more intimate, scouting, exploration, discovery. And its from the ground up. I returned to wormhole space in July 2014.

I have worked as a director, I have seen how crappy pos's are, how wormhole effects used to suck, how wormhole space has evolved.

That is a history. That is a background. That is a resume, experience, the facts. That is the main of a person who is a wormholer, and I am just a line member. I am the bare minimum of experience needed for a potential wormhole CSM, and my own experience isn't as good as 90% of the other wormholers who post on these forums. Your the CEO of a "wormhole corporation", where is your experience, knowledge, background and backing? Saying "I did it on this guy or an alt"... Did what. I at least have ONE stupid operation I can point at and say "yes I was there, yes I participated, yes I shot that". I can happily admit I lost a Brick Tank Prophecy on a Highsec C1 wormhole exit because I left the prop mod running and out-massed the hole limit by 1 million. I can say that I rolled myself out of a C5 wormhole in a Pod. Those are basic experiences people have in wormhole space.. when they Live in wormhole space.

Wormhole CSM does not need an alt, they need a main. The wormhole community, you are no part of it. It is unfortunate that we would have to call out a CSM candidate on not just their platform, but on their background, lack of history, lack of knowledge, lack of experience, and on what seems to be a total farse of a campaign solely to try to get some recognition, to waste a spot on the CSM, to waste the time of the community in total, and to waste the time and money of CCP.

The problem started not with the content of your initial post, it started with the Subject line of your post. Wormholers Unite..... What the heck are you talking about? We don't unite, we Kill Each Other.... Happily I might add. Asking for unity from a group whose sole purpose is to take each other out was your first mistake. You don't know the history of wormhole space, you don't know the people, the culture, the attitude of wormholers.

With all of that...you ignored Shelby? A high class gal gave you the time of day and you shunned her? She is like the wormhole Queen and you ignore her? SHAME ON YOU.... You have a total lack of manners.

Wow, that's like the sweetest thing ever to say, Mista Jones.

It was kinda nice to come and see Candi stickin' up for me though and putting her big, high-heeled yellow boot into Mista Cortex face like that.

But yeah, what an ass. When I checked back today I was so excited to see what Mista Cortex thought about the stuff I asked. Then ... I saw he just stepped right over me like garbage in the street, like a goon would some nullsec renter corp living under their opposition.

Essentially I felt like this, Mista Jones.........

Wow .... I'm no wormhole queen though, like it's totally hard enough for me to get respect even from my own sistas, being the youngest. It's always about them, you know, like "woooo, dat ass on Erica" or stuff like "Dani Dusette, Best Dusette", but never nothin' about me. Well, except for Mista Winthorp, he's really nice to me and stuff. Am I even allowed to say his name at the moment though? I dunno ...

And I think Foedus like me too. He let me fly with him this one time, Mista Jones, and I called him Senpai.

[05:31:02] Foedus Latro > Shelby, you can fly with me anytime
[05:31:13] Foedus Latro > Kohai

Amazeballs. The things I get to see hanging out with my bigger sistas.

You're pretty cute too, Mista Jones ....

Just sayin' ....

And Mista Cortex I'm totally gonna tell Foedus you was mean to me and ignored me and stuff.

You betta run yo!!

Here is your campaign ad.

Who?

Hey Dmitry, I've missed you snook'ums. Sorry about the red coat missing, but to be fair, this new one is legit. I get to swing the "ebil space emperor" look. I'm glad you came in to clear this up regarding Bane's "experience" while flying with you guys. As a self proclaimed and retired "king", and I don't care if Hidden gets flustered (lol <3 u too), it's my game, my rules, point is that I've never interacted with Bane, and I've interacted with many MANY of the active wormholers and groups over the years. The players I've worked and played with were the people that I feel have been "involved" in wormholes.


This is from his candidate snapshot... "very involved since their creation." I started wormholes fall of 2009. Annnnnnd I don't know who Bane is and never crossed paths with him. ever. This seems like a shill attempt to garner votes in an area that some think will yield votes by simply saying "wormholes". Nope. We may be one of the hardest critics of CSM candidates.

@Bane

Before you or someone cries out that I don't understand... Check this out. I understand full well what you and every other candidate is going through. You clearly don't have the time, knowledge, or experience to be running this year.

I suggest you just forfeit the campaign and bow out. Save yourself the headache, bud. Like I suggested to others before you, you should get involved over the next year as an individual contributor and THEN run for CSM next year. Prove to players that you are active and involved in the community. You will go much farther and be far better received. Wormholers are ironically a tight community, and we have our drama, but we still know and support our own in our own way.

Get involved with the community before you try to be our representative.
