Than you better get a new advisor, your current one will cost you a CSM seat. This stuff is important - no successful candidate has ever run without sharing their ideas about how the game should be improved, even Darius III had more than this for voters to go off of.

What makes you think you are the first candidate in history that does not need to tell people these things? What do you have to offer instead?

Maybe you haven't been paying attention, I have a sound cloud and a youtube channel with my CSM 8 content. I have already made quite a few threads detailing my different stances on various mechanics. With that said I will take the time when I have the chance to put a rough outline of all my ideas in the OP.

OK, we will await your platform statement. However, it would seem having a platform ready to speak about, before posting your CSM8 candidate thread might have been a better timeline of events.

Outline your platform instead of directing people to some non-linked youtube nonsense or vague posts spread around the forums and perhaps people will ask you serious questions about it.

In the meantime you give no real reason why anyone should for vote for you for anything beyond being the guy who changes the toilet paper at the summit meeting.

How do you expect anyone to vote for you when you were blacklisted from TEST for linking child XXX in our Mumble? I was there when it happened. None of us were stupid enough to click on your link, but even if it wasn't what you said it was, no one in EVE should ever take you seriously unless they're also a member of the FBI.

How do you figure the interview was horrible? How did I "dodge" questions? I do in fact have a platform, is there something about it that confuses you?

Quote:

4. Be respectful of others at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.

6. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.

7. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.

12. Spamming, bumping and pyramid quoting are prohibited.
Spam is defined as the repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users. This includes “first” and “go back to [another game]” posts. Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Petitions or "/signed" posts are a version of bumping and likewise are not permitted. Pyramid quoting is a response to a forum thread that contains the quotes of four or more previous posters, sometimes with additional spaces added unnecessarily. Posts of this nature are not conducive to community spirit and are unwelcome

19. Avoid using profanity.
Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter is prohibited and will result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.

20. Post constructively.
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.

24. Off-topic posting is not allowed.
Off-topic posts are not prohibited but should be posted within reason. Excessive off-topic posts that derail a thread may result in the thread being locked.


Thread cleaned up according to the above rules.

It is evident there are quite a lot of food enthusiasts here. However, this thread is not the appropriate place to discuss the merits of different dishes (while making all readers hungry). I suggest starting a thread in Out of Pod Experience about it.

Please keep discussion on topic, respectful, and constructive.

-Core Platform-


Risk vs Reward
My central focus is the concept of Risk vs Reward, this is something that effects almost everything a player can do in EvE.
Currently there is a good deal of mathematical inconsistency when it comes to the way in which PVE content rewards players as well as the proportion of risk(s) that would lead to said rewards. I think the new AI changes were a step in the right direction in so far as they discourage people from just going afk and disengaging from the content. I personally feel like players should be rewarded not just for completing a task/mission but for how effective they are at doing it. Right now there is a stagnation as players do the same missions over and over again with the same reward each time now matter how quickly or slowly or dispationatly they finish the task. If missions and pve encounters were tooled in such a way that they rewarded based on factors like combat effectiveness or how few people were used to complete the encounter this would be better. In this example somebody who warps in and deploys drones before going to make food would make way less isk and loyalty points than somebody who has a pimped out ship that steamrolls through the opposition.

New Player Experience
Secondary to my focus on Risk vs Reward is the New Player Experience. New players will be encouraged to do the tutorial and then the career agents; sometimes they will even do the noob arc but what then? I have been getting a great deal of feedback from people whom I have given buddy invites and the most common source of confusion and frustration is "what do I do now?". After doing the tutorial, Career Agents and then the noob arc there really isn't much in the way of guidance. I am not saying hold hands but I am saying there should be something that influences less intuitive players to the effect that they set out a plan of action that they ultimately find rewarding.

Nearly every CSM candidate in memory has pushed these two topics with more to top them off. Why do you feel that you should be voted for over others as a self admitted autist in your interview previously linked? A disorder characterized by impaired communication and social interaction?

Being a CSM member requires you to work heavily with the community and CCP, it's almost entirely a social interaction and communication job. An area you admit you are lacking. Why would we vote for someone who is anything but the most talented for the job?

Xenuria still doesn't get any votes from me, but really well played on the interview. If you'd have been this way from the start, instead of being 'in-character' all the time, maybe your views wouldve gotten across your audience much clearer.

You accuse some people of being the 'high school lunch room table' and yet when you're 'in-character', you're just as ****** as some people at that table.

A few examples of you being just...bad really.

1) You've been caught in multiple poorly formed lies over time, why should the player base 1) elect a liar and 2) elect a liar thats not even very good at it?


2) Why are you Mitt Romneying the questions posed to you here?


3) You're clearly unstable, how can we the playerbase ever assume that you the candidate won't go off the reservation at some point?



4) How are we supposed to take you seriously?
