Jita Park Speakers Corner

During my term as CSM6 I got quite a few things done and I thought I would take time to share some of my more notable achievements with the community. There's a lot of rumor and speculation an well as disinformation and outright lies out there at the moment, mostly by Goons and Test+Pets. This is a good thing. But enough about current events, let me get to the matter at hand-bragging about what a good CSM I was.

The most fun thing I did of note was getting elected in the first place. Brendan drain of Massively wrote about me in the 'candidate roundup' He said:

"Darius III is an unknown character with no campaign focus. His campaign website is a blog with a single two-line post, and parts of his campaign thread are offensive trolling. He is running on no discernible platform and has no goals."

Despite this negativity, the players of Eve chose me over many much more well known personalities. With my special brand of electioneering, I was still able to place as last place alternate outing many dedicated players. I was able to get many people to vote for me who didn't even know that there was an election in the first place. Thanks solely to my efforts-these people cast the ballots that allowed my narrow victory.

I did quite a bit of bug reporting and bot flagging. I found three truly game breaking glitches and reported them to CCP. In one of the cases the exploit was so severe that they had a virtual CTA at CCP to get it fixed. It allowed you to get over well 20,000 DPS with a standard battleship. Another bug allowed you to kill people in High security space without Concord responding. Also I reported hundreds of bots-primarily "hauler macros" that do empire missions requiring courier work. Most of them are still online, hauling for 9 hours a day getting free ISK.

I got close to 1500 kills, primarily in small fleets while fighting outnumbered in hostile space. I suicide ganked over 100 Pods in Jita during this time as well. Working with various teams of gankers we killed 300 Bn in suicide kills/non-pods. I also found a way to revive wreck baiting and made it viable again resulting in 2,000+ kills by the pilots and corps I taught the method to. During this period I managed to climb into the top .05% of all combat pilots as recorded by Battleclinic.

I scammed other players out of over 25 Billion ISK in addition to countless ships, mods and even a few PLEX. I was able to get more tears this year than almost anyone in all of Eve, and many of the tears were from Goons and Test-whose tears are usually medical grade and have advanced many pathogenic research projects and cured diseases the world over. I also lured 40+ Faction Battleships to their doom doing fake "Non-rep logi" fleets in incursion systems. I successfully trolled Goons and Test into thinking I would "Freeport" the Brick systems in Delve-they were furious and many lols were had at their expense.

Perhaps my most notable achievement was becoming the only player in the history of New Eden to be deliberately podded by CCP Pilots. They have podded two orther people, but I was the only one killed with non-area of effect weapons. It happened in the CCP fleets before Christmas, and Brick Squad ninja looters recovered 16% of all Plex dropped in the first fleet.

I attended the 'Emergency Summit' in the Summer of 2011 as Delegate because some of the CSM were not able to attend. While travelling to Iceland and when I was there, I was able to accomplish a laundry list of feats:

Skirted the long customs line by requesting and receiving wheelchair assistance.
Protip > A cane is a great prop for dealing with queues/security and cheap too!

Made out with three Icelandic women, the first of which was after only being in country for 102 minutes.(She was, as many may point out-exceptionally big boned) Only one of the three spent a night with me in the hotel, but we all had fun together.And FYI none of the women were paid. Iceland doesn't have strip clubs so I had to improvise...

Additionally, I trolled CCP and CSM by giving them gifts. I did give genuine gifts to a few guys, but the troll gifts were a $300 Giant Oversize monocle to CCP so they can always remember their mistakes with Nex store, and Nerds brand candy to the CSM. I don't think I need to explain why they are appropriate. One of the CCP employees let my put the Monocle on the CCP awards wall and sent me pictures of myself next to it. It sat just under 2009 MMO of the Year award. You should have seen the face of that bigwig guy, the Dev who talked about $1,000 jeans and sent a nasty Devblog followed by an apology. I think he was mad.


I also was able to consume the entire contents of the Minibar in my hotel room-in one sitting, as well as drinking a total of 50+ beers and more than 25 shots. I did this in four days and no nights-since it was light round the clock at that time of year. I had Whale Steaks for my dinner and lunch Two times
and used that fact to troll many Non-Eve people. When I told peolpe I ate whale steaks-the people who were mortified-I told them "Dude it is OK there are ALMOST 500 of those whales left!!!"

I managed to do all this and much more in the last 10 months-and Goons, Test and the other CSM members say I didn't accomplish anything at all-HA!

There was an issue with parsing your BBCode.

I don't see any CSM related accomplishments at all... I think you're just proving their point.

So you played a lot of EvE and had a great time in iceland - good for you dude but I think you forgot to include any CSM stuff you did... oh wait

I didn't know that Selene and the other CSMs that spoke out against you were pets of Goons + Test. Good to know! By the way, you never did troll us over the freeport although you like to claim so. It must sound so great in your head going "YES I TROLLED GOONS LOLOLOL".

I guess this is your greatest accomplishment as an alliance?

But please do create more dumb threads.

Whenever people are asked to vote, they usually choose the candidate that is competent and smart at what they do. Most people know D3 as someone who messes with incursions, and ganks. Well, if you look at what he does in eve, he fills that role as "competent and smart at what he does". You don't know him because of his failures. And if im voting in an election that represents the EVE player base, id want someone in there who knows the ins and outs of the game so that they can be made fair for everyone. Put aside your bias for a moment and you will see that this man knows what the hell he is doing and will prove to be a strong representative for the EVE player base. +1 vote from me

knowing both of you pretty well id say you are quite alike

I really like that you forced CCP to come to the table and have serious talks about rebalancing incursions. Proof that you are capable of getting things done-with or without your CSM badge. Keep up the good work spacefriend!

Exactly this, you may not like his game play, but he does know his game and he plays it better than just about anyone else.
You do indeed have to look beyond your bias and you own play style and vote for someone who pushes gameplay to the max.

Last year, I voted for Darius III, because I thought :
- the CSM was full of "serious business 00 overlords". It was missing this little "C+P madness" magic.
- he would create and experience conflicts in different areas of EVE.
- because.

He did well.
