Problem: Not enough people in highsec give a crap enough about the CSM to vote. Not enough people in higsec even know what the CSM is. Too many noobs in higsec that are totally oblivious.

However, this does not mean they should not have representation in the CSM. Just, its going to be a very hard task to get someone elected.

Another reason James 315 would be a great representative: people who don't live in hisec would vote for him, helping him get elected. Did you see the sort of Goonswarm support he's getting in this thread?

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)

(Edited title for clarity)


I don't know who that guy is, but his name easilly rolls off the tongue. James threeonefive.. James threeonefive... I like that.

Also, hey ... Hi-sec representative ... why not, sure. Here's the deal though, pretty much all of the CSM members currently on CSM 7 have had some experience living in high-sec. Therefore i think its only just that the high-sec representative also has experience living in somewhere other than high-sec.

For the convenience of those yet unaware of James' views and writings, have some links to James' manifestos on hisec and mining:

Both threads locked by CCP for inciting unconstructive ranting and attacks among the EVE community, and you wanna nominate this guy for something constructive?

The threads turned into ranting as peoples' reaction to James' revolutionary ideas. Some may say hisec is unready for James 315, but I say that all of hisec needs him ASAP.

Judging by those threads I think a considerable portion of highsec players disagree, myself included. Thank you for posting those though, now I know exactly why so many people dislike the guy.

Lots of people dislike Mittens or any other CSM member, but that doesn't mean he was poor at his job. It's a polarizing situation to be in.

So I actually read his (James315's) "manifesto" and I just have one thing to say.

He's kind of a ****. Thank CCP for those miner buffs. He kind of makes me WANT to go mine...if I could go into Caldari space where he is What?

As much as I hate to say it, if James as a person was as dedicated as his forum character, he would be one of the best reps for his group (whatever you wish to label it as).

No way in hell that I woudl vote for him. He does not represent my interests as a vulture.

There's nothing wrong with mining. It's a legitimate profession. James is simply fighting to keep it an active profession, and to promote player interaction while playing one of the most boring mechanics in Eve.

Bumping might not be the nicest thing to do, but he's making a difference in people's lives. And a nice profit.

I fully endorse this, if only because the lazy, entitled bot miners would absolutely *flip their ***** over it.

No he isn't...did you read it? He touts his hatred for active miners even more, look at Manifesto II. Hell he went on a rant in Manifesto I about how he griefed active high sec miners for who knows how long. Yeah sure point taken, they **** at pvp (lol@bombing an ibis in highsec), but still. He isn't fighting for anything but forcing miners to lowsec for easy kills.

I don't care if it's satire or lulzy posting or whatever. He's just kind of a **** lol.

He caused a public scandal behaving exactly how a CSM should not behave, especially a CSM chairman. That does not invalidate all the work he put into trying to improve the game, but it breaks the confidence that the people he should be representing have in him. Is that unfair? Probably. But it is how the system works, and every candidate should now that.

Any CCP member will tell you that CSM members should try their best to represent everyone regardless of which demographic got him elected. Which is why i said that a "high-sec representative" should also have experience living outside of high-sec. And as a public figure its kind of a pre-requisite to be as mature and level-headed as possible.

That James 315 guy does not sound very mature and definatly is not level headed, in my honestly very humble opinion.


God knows that the CSM does not need another scandal.

I think the CSM needs more spoons...

And James would not provide.
