CSM Campaigns

DomanarK for CSM 10

I am running for the CSM for the first time. I think the CSM program is a great idea and opportunity the players are given to voice ideas, complaints and offer opinions of CCP's ideas. No matter what the original reason for creating the CSM, it has slowly become a very important aspect to this game. I do feel the last few CSM's have really stepped up and moved the program forward in a very positive way, I think I could be an asset to continue this momentum.

Who am I?

I have been playing EvE without any breaks since 2010.

I have subscribed 3 accounts since I started playing. 2 combat characters and 1 industrial character.

Started out my EvE experience by joining FW right away. I was a member of Draketrain when there were in Caldari FW, then Wolfs Brigade.

I left FW to join with Sev3rance when they were in the North supporting Morsus Mihi. Fought along with those alliances in the northern coalition. I was with Sev3rance for their return to Providence.

During that time I also had a character in RvB, where I was one of the many recruiters.

Left -7- to join up with TEST because as everyone else, once I could fly capital ships, I wanted to give it a try. Stayed with TEST until they were defeated by the CFC.

Our corp decided not to follow TEST into low-sec, but instead repaired relations with the local Fountain core groups and stayed there to harass the owners of the area. Helped our corp, TECHNOLOGY, establish the alliance Sorry We're In Your Space EH.

During this time I help create and co-host the EvE podcast Clueless Space Nerds. I have been co-hosting this podcast for the past year and have occasionally appeared on a few other podcasts. My involvement in the EvE community continues to increase. I have been to several meet ups and have hosted an EvE meet up myself, with plans for more. I continue to support programs like the Pod and Planet fan fiction contest and have my own EvE blog.

While all this was happening I had moved my RvB character to the Rifterlings a Low-sec, new-player friendly "piratey" style corp.

Currently I am still with the Rifterlings and my main character is with Black Legion.

My industrial character has been active in manufacturing of modules and ships, both t1 and t2. I have successfully ran reaction towers for profit. I also have quite a bit of experience with BPO research.


I am running for the CSM not because I feel the current members have not done a good enough job, but because they have. Their success has inspired me to want to be a part of this process, and I feel my experiences both in EvE and in real life make me well qualified to bring a fresh and positive perspective to the CSM.

I am running on a platform of:

Supporting a continuation of the positive directions the new point release system has given us so far.

I believe the community of EvE is as important to the game as the content itself. I would like to see a growth in the relationship between the players, the player run community functions and CCP. Player run meet ups, Podcasts, Blogs and Fan Fiction is a healthy and vibrant community. I think sometimes this content's existence isn't always readily communicated effectively to the players.

Pirate and Bounty system changes made were a step in the right direction, but I will advocate the continued focus on these areas as to make piracy more exciting and dangerous and to make bounty hunting a more viable choice for players to make ISK.

I will advocate the continued ship balancing and tweaking that has been done so far; but also support the addition of not only new ships but new ship classes.

I will support a occupancy based SOV system. I have in fact offered several ideas on this matter. These ideas can be found at my blog site. Warp and Jump

I will support the effort to make the new player experience one that engages, entertains and stimulates new players without taking away the aspect many who play the love the most. The difficulty level. One of the greatest draws this game as always offered is the fact it is hard, unforgiving and complex. These aspects separate it from most other games and bring in a player base of more intelligent and mature people.


I believe my platform is one that can and will support High, Low and Null-sec. While I find wormhole space absolutely awesome, my lack of real concrete experience doesn't lend to me being a credible WH candidate.
Lastly and most importantly I will be running on a platform of being a player representative. I will bring the ideas and opinions of the groups of players to the conversation as the subject dictates.

Please feel free to ask me any questions here on the forums or you can send me an in-game mail or you can contact me on the podcast homepage. http://cluelessspacenerds.com/

I hope to be given the opportunity to represent you all on the CSM 10

Enjoy an endorsement from the executor of a relatively small and meaningless alliance in Providence, your specific ideas on how sovereignty mechanics should be changed gets my vote.
