How do you feel about highsec freighter kamikazee/suicide ganks? This is a very important issue.

Do you like winning t2 frigs and dictors for Dirt Cheap?https://eveninggames.net/register/ref/dQddmNgyLhFBqNJk

I'm totally fine with suicide ganks. In an interesting bit of irony, my suicide ganking pod got suicide ganked last night (by you? Same first name on twitter), although not before fulfilling its purpose some time earlier. I could have avoided it by being at keys or, indeed, APing in a ship (which I was-- I found an apparent bug in which said ship got popped by faction navy despite my heroic anti-Sansha efforts in the belts of northern Providence). Content was created, some isk was removed from the game, yadda yadda.

I do understand the frustration of the ganked-- what use is a killright or a wardec against an alt with nothing to lose? Better would be some way to (if you could be bothered to fit a PvP ship and undock) take your revenge. But it's one of those things to which I can't see a game-mechanical solution that doesn't just make everything worse.

I saw that! There's someone shilling his slate in Jita, too. I'm glad my platform is out there.

I wrote (yet another) thing! This one is a post urging people to vote vote vote. It's a primer on why to vote, what the CSM is (via link), and it has links to several helpful voting slates for the lazy (including Rhavas's "conscience nullsec" ballot) and several helpful resources for the researchers.

I know that if you're reading this, you've likely voted already, but tell your friends, spread the word, etc. The above link is a good one-stop-shop for voting exuberance and convenience.

Wooo. I've been talking to folks for the last few days, and no doubt annoyed more than one.

Thanks, again, seriously for all the support. I'm hopeful for the outcome, but anything could happen, so I'm trying not to expect much. If nothing else, it's been a fun campaign and I hope it's raised awareness of the ongoing issues with the newbie experience.

Best of luck with the results!

Before the polls close

How do you feel about the new STV voting system?

Do you understand it?

How do you feel about fact we can only identify 2 members of CSM7 who supported it?

Do you want it removed for a better or simpler system, while voting numbers are so low?

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

STV-- mixed. I don't like the tactical voting which has occurred, I like that it's easier to vote in candidates such as myself (independent, with strong/compelling message, without organized exit polling). I would not do nearly so well in a FPTP system. I don't like the complexity when trying to GOTV.

Yeah, I do understand it, which is why I've been pressing people to vote at all and to vote for me *somewhere* on their ballot, and approached even people who I think are unlikely to put me #1.

I have no idea what voting numbers are. Many have said it's not as dire as it seems to be. I'd like it to be simplified or improved upon. My biggest problem was the pre-qualification round, which dragged the campaign/GOTV spam out further. I had to mobilize twice, which sucked.

Less terse answers when I'm not between work things (but that'll be after polls close).

Seems to have worked.

Happy to have contributed the "None ofthe Above bump" (patent pending)

Congratulations, CSM Ali Aras

Congratulations on a extremely well run campaign, great job. One of the few candidates in EVE history to come from a sub-300 man alliance.

Now argue ferociously for further limits to power projection, activity-based sov infrastructure and some of your excellent ideas to get newbies off solo-missioning and into finding the social circle that keeps people in EVE.

Well done Ali.

You and Ripard can prepare your bodies together for the relentless trolling about communication ;p

Looking forward to working with you during the transition, o7
