CSM Campaigns

As much as I appreciate debate. Could we perhaps keep the debate in this thread regarding the CSM9 election and possibly my candidacy in said election? I mean, you are welcome to continue this discussion and I'll even create a thread for you somewhere and facilitate this debate. I'll set up a WWF style banner and host the whole thing, but if you could keep this topic railed and on track, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

I am planning to put a few WH candidates on the top of my ballot who I think won't harm but rather facilitate the improvement of wormholes (and the rest of eve), you being one of them, but I would like to hear more what you stand for apart from communication...



Getting feedback from the community and deliver this to CCP and vice versa is I think indeed very important, but being able to weed out the good and bad suggestions/ideas is as well.. you cannot give CCP devs 300 ideas on every question. You might not always be getting the time needed to ask the community what they think either.

Therefore I would like to see at least some examples of your opinions/ideas/suggestions on matters that have been continuously been brought up on the WH forums (Black Hole effects, C4s, dread blapping, T3 blancing, etc.) or your own of course.

Thank you Zara. I've edited my OP with your advice, and I will continue to update as issues and ideas are presented, resources become available, and articles are published. Hope this is in the direction that you intended :) Please feel free to provide further great advice!

Confirming the confirmation of my esteemed Fwedditor and Henry's "discovery"

Confirming there are a lot of impostors in this thread.

Hah, just Sam. Although a Twostep alt would be cool to have, I suppose :)

However, saying "Founder of Fweddit" gives him away.

GL with that one

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


Edit: 11. Discussion of forum moderation is prohibited.

The discussion of EVE Online forum moderation actions generally leads to flaming, trolling and baiting of our ISD CCL moderators. As such, this type of discussion is strictly prohibited under the forum rules. If you have questions regarding the actions of a moderator, please file a petition under the Community & Forums Category.

Do you, Proclus, ask the voting public to believe that your years of being a self-confessed max troller on all threads and a bully and that persona which you manifest it through has suddenly disappeared in the past 4 weeks and will never resurface as you represent WH's at the CSM and to CCP?

Let me first state that I'm most assuredly not the "max troller" and was definitely not in all threads.

To answer your question, if I say that I'm going to do something, I'm going to do that thing. In the past, I've told people I was going to evict them, I did exactly that. I've told people I was going to teach them PVP, and I did just that. I've told people I was going to start a Faction Warfare community for Reddit, and I did just that. I told people I was going to change my gaming style suitable to a position on the CSM, and I'm doing exactly that.

I'm running for CSM9. I'm communicating in a manner that is proper for a delegate and amicable to any players wishing to take the opportunity to communicate with me. That is what I need to do to be good at this job, and since this is a job I'm volunteering to take, I'm going to perform appropriately. You are welcome to PM your comms and we can chat, you can do exactly what Tyrant Scorn did, and we can talk about it. This wasn't some "I found God, and now I'm born again", this was that I decided to take on this responsibility and I'm going to perform accordingly.

If so can you account for this reverse of character which any normal human being would find impossible to accomplish in such a short timescale?

So in your opinion, it is impossible for someone to troll, bully, derail, or whatever in one post, then completely turn around and write a coherent post that at least attempts to conform to the rules and parameters of the forums, community, et al? Is this not exactly what you did here. You troll, name call, insult, bully, and attempt to derail in two threads, then you come in here, discuss moderation, and right after post "serious" questions and concerns. If your theory is correct, what you did is impossible... if you are a normal human.

The point is that I haven't reversed my real life "character". I play a game, and in real life, I don't extort, scam, harm, invade, and/or kill people, which is something that normal people don't do, which is something that people do in this game. You can't compare a person's playstyle to how they are in real life. The fact is that I was not a CSM, I was not a representative, but now I'm running to serve in this role. I am going to stop playing the game in the gamestyle I chose, and will serve as a CSM on CSM9 the way I should to best serve the communities I represent.

I sincerely hope this answers your questions, and I honestly would rather not debate you in this thread, as this isn't a debate thread. If you'd like to debate, chat, or whatever, I welcome you to convo me, shoot me some comms deets, or whatever else you'd like, and we can talk. This offer is always extended to anyone.
