CSM Campaigns

Greetings and Salutations ,



I am Manfred Sideous and I hope to earn your vote for the Council of Stellar Management. I have been playing Eve Online for the better part of a decade. I love this game and the people that play it and care greatly for the health and well being of this game and its community. I have participated in so many cool events , wars , conflicts and made so many wonderful friendships from this community. I have traveled thousands of miles to attend weddings of players who met from this very game. I like to think that Eve is a giant epic drama unfolding before our eyes but instead of watching it we get to participate in it and shape it. No other game can rival Eve Online in how immersive and epic it is. I agree that Eve can only grow and get bigger I agree that we are still in the early years of Eve and I fully intend to be part of this game forever.

MY PLATFORM



I come to you not as a PVP'r not as a Nullsec guy not as a Fleet Commander but as a person that has played this game for many years and been part of so many different parts of the game. Furthermore through all this time it has given me a appreciation for all sides of the game and all endeavours and how important and interdependent they are on eachother. In the end this Universe we have created needs all of us it needs all activities to thrive. We have to have miners and well thought out mechanics and gameplay to provide our builders and traders with the minerals needed. We need inventors haulers and productionist to build the components items and ships that all of us depend on. We need the Mission Runners the Wormhole inhabitants and NPC'rs who provide us with their unique items. Lastly we need PVP'rs of all scopes sizes and types to create pretty explosions so that there is demand for goods and services.


A sandbox as we all know depends on interaction and the best way to create interaction is via dependency so it is my firm belief that anyway we can strengthen dependency upon eachother the healthier the game will be. I would like the chance to work with CSM 9 and CCP on things like:

• Corporation and Alliance Interface and management - I mean have you tried to use the corp/alliance tab it feels like it was designed by a blind person with 2 left hands.
• Player Owned Structures - Yeah this is pretty Obvious
• Power Projection Nerf - Should you be able to cross the universe in as little as 20 minutes ( I don't think so)
• Rework of Industry in Nullsec
• Nullsec Sov Rework

A FEW THOUGHTS

When I think about Eve and the way it is laid out it mirrors how we have our societies laid out. You have Urban centers like high security space. They are typically densely populated and are usually market centers where large bulk of trade happens. Then you think of Industrial centers which in my mind would represent low security space. Its a little darker less populated its a place of production and a place of extortion and piracy but also a place for protection, The old families control it and get they're cut from everything and they have there armies and crews ( Faction Warfare). The lastly you have the Rural areas which represents Null sec and Wormhole space these are the farm & fields the mines and forest of Eve. Way under developed in comparison to low security or high security space. Lawless where player diplomacy and player violence is the law.

Endorsements:

+1 Will get my votes when the time comes.
Outstanding personality and makes everyone feel included.
Will be an outstanding member to the CSM.

Yay Manny!

i endorse this product and/or service

I don't think there is anyone who I could endorse harder than Manfred Sideous. He is seriously in the top 5 of best people I've ever met in EVE and I've never ever seen a harder worker. Manny has thrown himself into some of the worst EVE situations possible, whether it is a campaign to defend his allies or a supercap fight where he is massively outnumbered, he always gives 100%. Manny is the kind of guy I would be proud to have in a nerd discussion about EVE. No one at the table will be able to match his experience or his incredible attitude.

A vote for Manny is not only a vote for a great guy, it's a vote for a guy who understands EVE on the deepest level possible.

When subcapital ships (especially big ones) travel between systems in lowsec, they risk being intercepted by pirates or encountering some other misfortune that could delay their trip or even lead to their demise.

Right now capital ships can freely travel between lowsec mid points without fear of being delayed or killed. They can undock from a station and jump to another station in a different system while still under undock invulnerability.

Do you think there should be a risk to moving capital ships between systems in lowsec? Such that they could be intercepted by local pirates or other hostiles?

+1 for Manny. He knows PVP, he knows corp management, and he knows 0.0

+1

In addition to all this Manny is one of the nicest dudes I've ever met in Eve
