Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get serious about the future of high sec. For too long we have been plagued with high sec decay. It's our own fault for allowing gameplay to be suppressed in favor of artificial safety. The result? Voiceless faceless botfleets, solo mission runners with names like Sheysfsuresgats (bots), the ranks of the NPC corps swell, noobs quitting day 1 of trial, miners earning slave wages.

And safety? THERE IS NONE. Is there any hope for this dystopic wasteland that high sec has become? Can someone save and protect high sec?

There's no protector like the Supreme Protector. James 315, currently the Saviour of Highsec has graciously accepted the mandate placed upon him by highsecs downtrodden, and decided to become the glorious representative of highsecs cherished interests on CSM 8.

High sec. Will. Be. Saved.

James 315 has a proven track record for content creation. He has a track record for organization and getting things done. Truly, it will be a new chapter in the history of EVE!

Long live high sec!!!

The fact of the matter is that James 315 has done more for hi-sec content, new account generation, and old account retention than any other hi-sec candidate we have ever seen. People have flocked to his banner from all across New Eden because of his revolutionary and fresh outlook on Hi-Sec. He has earned their admiration and mine by promoting his views in a thought-provoking and eloquent "true to the sandbox" methodology.

I share his vision of hi-sec where awoxers, scammers, ninja looters and gankers are cherished and respected part of the community (even if its those guys you love to hate) and where no-one is ever "perfectly safe" from player interaction.

I personally think that not only is James 315 the CSM representative we deserve, he is the representative we oh so desperately need to move forward as a community. I fully endorse and support James 315 with all of my accounts.

All hail the Supreme Protector Of Hisec and CSM delegate of our hearts James 315!

Confirmation that highsec miners are troubled & need a saviour such as James.

I'm voting for James because unlike certain CSM members (coughtreborcough) he doesn't support turning highsec into a highly skewed and selective "consensual" sandbox. Why should wars, or ganks, or whatever else I may choose to do to carebears only allowed if they consent, when the things they do that effect me (i.e. everything they do, because that's the nature of EVE and it's player created market and economy) not be consent based?

^ I certainly support this. Shame on Blizzard for what they've done with WoW.

As to voting, we will see what the candidates campaign will be like Smile.

Unfortunately, James will have none of my 6 votes.

I fanatically support the theme-parking of Eve. So it can be the game I want to play, instead of the game some jerk wants to play.

But as someone who thrives on drama, it is a win-win for me. I can't decide what I would want to see more:
> His inability to make any changes at all if elected,
or
> The reactions of him and his Knights if he loses the election

It'll be more glorious than Republicans on message boards the past 3 months.

So let's get this clear - you sought out, bought and started a subscription for a game that you didn't want to play, and then decided that instead of finding a game that you did want to play, the best route was to campaign for the game to be changed into one that you would like but that all the people who bought the game based on what it actually was wouldn't like?

OK.

No.

I subscribed to this game because a friend showed it to me, and I saw the glorious amounts of drama. I was in heaven during the Jita Incarna riots. I figure that, if Wescro's signature is true, then clearly, the MAJORITY of the candidates want to change Eve so it's more friendly to players who don't want to be jerks.

When you have this many people taking internet space ships this seriously, it just makes sense to try and screw with them. It's simple, really.

It isn't; at least, not in the sense that you're understanding it.
So far, James is the only candidate running based on the preservation of the sandbox - as far as I know, the others don't make that a central part of their platform.

However, neither mynnna, nor Malcanis, nor the HBC candidate, whoever he is, or any of the lowsec candidates, and hopefully not the wormhole candidate either, will be in favour of making highsec PvP optional, as you seem to be.

There's also the fact that only a very few candidates have actually announced their candidacy yet, since we've still got several months before the actual election.

No, it would be very misleading to say that either the majority of the CSM candidates for next year, or this year's CSM, or CCP themselves approve of making PvP consensual.

That seemed to be quite the consideration though, if I read the minutes correctly. Highseccers are tired of getting screwed with.

What they need to do is buckle down, and make nullsec better so people WANT to go out there and socialize and play with others.

This whole miner bumping thing the past several months has just been one players massive ego trip.

Nope. There are quite a few of us having a massive ego trip in the Gallente Ice belts. Not just James.

All your CSM now belongs to James 315.
There is no hope, Miner. Now you must make your time.

Join the New Order, buy your permit today, and follow the code.

TBH I think that a lot of people don't care what game you want to play, because we're quite happy playing the game that we want to play. Theme parking Eve will be the death of it, do you really want to play just another generic MMO that happens to set in space? or do you want to play an MMO that regularly makes real world headlines because it is a true sandbox, and a brutal one at that?

I don't think you'll see much drama from the New Order if James isn't elected, you'll definitely see a lot if he is elected but it won't be from them.

If some highsec players are tired of being screwed with, maybe they should get off their collective backsides and do something about it, they have the exact same tools as everybody else, they should use them. I'm a highsec player myself, doing mainly PvE and industry stuff as well as a bit of wormhole spelunking and I have no problems with the game as it is.

Highsec is safer, not safe.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Keisha, EVE is pretty much the only game where being a criminal (thief, scammer, pirate, awoxer, bumper, extortionist) is a viable playstyle. The people who do these things are necessary to complete the diverse universe of EVE. You can't play cops n' robbers without robbers.

One of the themes of EVE is to balance risk and reward. True to EVEs player-driven nature, it's the players who impose the risk on other players. If you take away the players ability to do so, the equation is thrown into imbalance. Now there is reward, but where is the risk?

Reward without risk is a grind, it is a repetitive, unchanging grind to get more and more reward doing the same thing without altering your playstyle. Why would you alter it, there is no risk after all? Risk is what breathes life into the game, it forces you to play, to think, to react and adapt. It makes you go from activity A to activity B, because while A may be more rewarding, B is less risky. It exhibits the wonderful specialization of labor, some people are better handling certain risks, combat oriented players can take on more combat related risk, while richer players can take on financial risks. It helps create elite fighters and rich industrialists, as they picked the path of least resistance (risk) for themselves.

None of this happens in a theme park.
