Wormholes

I for one believe that we have a great lineup of WH candidates :)

Just can't help yourself can you?

@Aaron Dax To you sir I tell, I respect your opinion. While the main idea is close to what others said, your arguments on who do you want to represent you are in fact the best until now. Again, my respects.

I will comment on two subjects: relying on a software and defending myself.

My proposal is based not on decision took by a software, but on decisions taken by people through a software. The software in itself is merely a tool, and the decisions are taken by the community. Maybe the community is not ready to assume this responsibility, maybe time to explain and show how the idea works in practice is needed. I think that in the period since my intention was announced all the forum users have found about it. All now know that there is such a thing, what can do, and are aware that maybe some limitations apply.

If the person that will end up representing the WH community is now aware of the importance of a good two ways communication system, than my campaign had the best result one could ever wish. I continue to state that is not about me, it is about an idea, and if that idea lives on, then my purpose is served.

I would however state that not all other candidates have shown in the podcast that they are willing to manifest this openness, with some being biased towards representing and communicating with a limited number of players.

On defending myself, I would start with a quote: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Mahatma Gandhi.

When I started this nobody knew my name. Now you all know it.
Some disagreed with my ideas and those have received answers to clear issues without having to rely on somebody to fight my fights.
Some just trolled, and were ignored. I give a special mention to specific troll that I will enjoy replying further :)

Do I need defending? No, because we are all different, with different strong and weak points. Beside being unknown (problem solved) the other thing that was held against me is the lack of social presence. Well, I'm working on it.

About me being a leader, may I remind you that our current representative is not a alliance or corp leader ingame although he has shown good social and intellectual qualities. We all play the game in our way, and a good alliance leader might not be the best representative, especially given the dictatorial/administrative style that is the preferred way of running alliances these days.
I personally prefer to be represented by somebody who listens instead of the 1% all-knowing person, playing the politician in a game.
About being political, don't you get enough of this when you are afk? The last thing EVE will need is to have political factions :)

Like you Aron Dax, there are many. I was one, and chose to make a step further. If you feel this is a long way, then I will walk that way, but remember, there are more than one way to skin a cat.


@my favorite (troll) supporter Chris Elliot
Your name is one of a famous comedian, so I think you are trying to be at least as funny as him. Well is working, you are becoming a laughing stock :)
As you have shown good potential I am going to help you grow (some) and become better.
Will you be kind and explain the qualities of your desired representative?

It is direct democracy he doesn't get to choose.

Really?
Given the personal vendetta of Talocan transmission lost united against Insidious Design you had no other intension but burning that hole to the ground no matter what we did. 8 active pilots facing 100 active pilots and you have the audacity to bring that up? Could we control the hole, no. We just left EE and the caps we just brought in were unfit. You knew we were very weak and I would do the same thing again because I wouldn't give you the sweat of my ba&&s

You should be embarrassed!

Have you forgotten that you were invaded because you invaded us first?

Because I haven't.

But I digress. Perhaps we could get the candidate's opinion on it, if he even has one?

Didn't Insidious Design get kicked from wormholes? Why are they running a candidate now?

If you're proposinga bit of code to query the userbase and then you take the results of said query to CCP aren't you just a middleman at that point, delivering information to CCP that they could easily gather off the forums?

What exactly do you do here?

[[quote=Phaderift]. Step 1 insid and exhale roll up in to a Talun c5/5 that had been only established about 2 months earlier and even then most of the residents had moved in about 3 weeks prior. coming and setting up a tower with cap support is not harassing its an attempted kicking in of teeth.
Step 2 EE was formed, making it a lot harder to launch retaliation for the attack and what is seen by many in my corp as a betrayal,. So we waited it was only a matter of time till insid would be ripe for the picking, insid leadership seems to not play nice with others on an alliance level.
Step 3 EE breaks apart with post human bite me inc and insid all going sperate ways, lots of bad blood was made during this breakup
Step 4 locate insids new hole and prepare to kick in some teeth of our own, during this time we lets slip to a few allies that we were going to do it. if you think it was a steam roll or mass blobing with TL and talun, both of whom had a score to settle with insid. you should have seen the list of people who wanted to get in on it.

yes we were denied kills but all the wrecks looked very pretty inside a pos shield . But as i have said else where we didn't do it for kills we did it for tears sweet sweet tears. Some of the internal chat logs that were .. acquired during the events were payment enough.

but enough history of events past]

Your knowledge of the history to be kind is lacking at best. Talocan leadership got their feeling hurt when INSID left Talocan. INSID left for several reasons due to the practice of Talocan hiring mercanaries to attack their own corporations to teach them to PVP better. Ask church ownens (Flint Owens), bernie, zariah and Nathan. INSID was the only ones willing to fight so they depended on to us to protect carebear holes. Again the leadership got mad because INSID asked them to consolidate some holes. Yes I ticked Celery off because his corp had 4 active members and he refused to consolidate. Then when we decided to leave, zariah (zed) threatened our hole saying they would boot us out using the corporations INSID recruited into that hole. Ask Kynric. Skyfighters moved out and frozen enterprises folded.

Then there was a constant harrasment of the hole by Talocan and the mercanary corp they put toghether. They brought stealth bombers in to gank haulers. How Brave they were with Bernie and Zed constantly harassing us in the local channel. Then we find out that Talocan had started a game that whoever got the most kills won some sort of prize.

We went into coldmoon destructions hole and harrased them for awhile. What would you do?

Exhale said they wanted to invade Skyfighters and asked us to come along so we said yes. Pay back. Talocan started all of it so you need to get the facts straight.

I have no idea what transmission lost problem is except they are in bed with talocan.
This is all old hat and the major players know exactly what happened. Why you guys can't let it go I have no idea. But has nothing to do with this thread.

Night Beagle is not my alt. Ask Nathan!
Beagle asked me to help promote the idea and that is what I have done. I told him there would be a lot of mudslinging and personal attacks and you people have held up your end.

It is shameful that you are so blinded by hate that you can't even take the idea and think about it.

I agree with this statement and would ask for both sides (my guys included) to simply let drop the issue of our past history. It's a he said-she said where each side believes their version of events are correct, and it's simply not constructive. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, the debts were paid and the book closed.

Let's turn this conversation back to Night Beagle's candidacy and his platform.

I think I am starting to be convinced to vote Bane for CSM :) Keep doing it.


On the current topics:


@Malception I am proposing a better system than just a forum. One that in the end might eliminate or change the role of CSM.


@Phaderift As you said, in the event of 3 known ideas we will already have the community input, thus making my position a predetermined one.
However, you raise an interesting point. What is a CSM member representing, the whole player community or a limited group, based on some common characteristics. Both options have their ups and downs. If I consider only the voting system used until now, the intention for each CSM member is to represent the whole community, as no separate ballots have been done for WH, 0.0, LS or HS, nor for Alliances/Non allied/NPC corps.
I see myself as representing the community that supports me. If that community is the WH one, then in the larger picture of the game I will support WH interests. However, our interests are not in the scope different than others so, we go back to CSM members representing everyone.

On the issue of previous fights between the corp I am in and other alliances: it's a game. Enjoy the pixels and have fun.

Also, please keep trolling, you never know what interesting ideas might arise form it. Conflict is a great growth driver.
