tl;dr: The title.

James knows how hisec works and has written extensively on the psychological profile of hisec inhabitants, their activities, and how to improve hisec. He has also proven he is a man of action, not simply sitting behind his soapbox, but taking matters into his own hands and trying to make a change. His skill with written rhetoric, politically charged situations, keeping in touch with the community, and taking a stand for the area of Eve he lives in qualify him perfectly to serve on the CSM to advise CCP on matters pertaining to hisec space -- which the other CSM representatives so far may not have the background to actually do. James' presence on the CSM, or even his campaigning for CSM may serve as a wake-up call for hisec residents to actively participate in CSM elections.

Because of all these reasons, I unofficially nominate James 315 as a CSM candidate to represent hisec! Who is with me?

(This post is not endorsed by James, nor do I know if he is even willing to run for CSM; if/when you see this, James, please comment)

He definitely knows how to engage with the highsec community making use of all the highsec (and EVE in general) mechanics made available to him by CCP. Such as NPC corps, physics engine, CONCORD, etc etc

James has repeatedly proven himself to be driven, level-headed, able to work hard, a good leader and a fine diplomat. He has experience working in highsec space and extensive knowledge of the mining industry. He has been able to create an organisation in highsec space spanning several systems. James engages with the forum community and updates his blog on a regular basis. He really does tick all the boxes when it comes to a possible highsec CSM candidate.

e: I forgot to mention, James also writes articles for a popular news website!

I wasn't able to help with your cause firsthand (I have low sec status and I don't have any spare alts) but I figured out a way to show support and say thanks for all your hard work.

I also certainly hope you will consider running for CSM 8. There are many who would support you.

I would vote for James 315. The kind of emergent gameplay he is bringing to high sec is exactly what it needs.

Is "emergent gameplay" a politically correct term for harassment? Roll

Emergent gameplay is gameplay that is not specifically implemented into the game, but rather evolves from other, more basic mechanics. You can also call it a "sandbox", as the analogy stands: sandcastles are not a "built-in" feature of a sandbox, but something you can do after you're given a sandbox.

Some examples of emergent gameplay: evolved trade-hubs and player-run economy, organized war (a la RvB), nullsec alliances and coalitions (and other player politics), pyramid schemes, gambling services (blink, etc.), Hulkageddon, and yes, exerting influence over peers without firing a single shot, via bump-extortion.

Then i can cast my vote.
