CSM Campaigns

Rock on cbb! Votes from all of us sir!

Thank you for lending your personal time to better our recreational time. You represented the players well on CSM 9 and we appreciate it.

Good luck on X!

Jen is running his own thing, for me there is more to the subject, as a short answer i would say i would say i wouodnt mind if a cloack burned fuel or would be more vulnerable over time too probing or landing closer on grid with. I dont see putting afk cloackers over a region with accounts that are active 23.5/7 as a emerging gameplay.

On the other hand cloacking i often use for intelligence gathering, i have guys twich streaming me undocks as fc, and support pur amazing italian ossim bomber wing, which use cloacks

Cynos are for me in a ok place, the serve a utility purpose and i dont see any game play or vast improvements, ofc u can invent silly mods that cycke faster or more pricy ships where normal is quicker, and so on. But woudont be high on my priority

Exactly.

I am trying to get votes from the whole of the EVE player base. Most of Core's support comes from Provi bloc and some other alliances, which is the smart way to become a CSM. It is more "guaranteed" votes and far less effort.

Heads up Core:
People do want as complete a list of the things you have done this last year as possible without breaking NDA. Your name and lazy are being thrown together far too often from all over, Reddit, this forum, other forums, Youtube, et cetera.
Please refute them, your ideals and the way you help shape Providence should remain an influence on the CSM.

There are also others who are trying to straw man you .

At this juncture, I feel I need to point out that I used to not display what corp or alliance I am in on these forums. I have added my alliance so that it is open and above board that I am in the same corp and alliance as Core.

Check my post history. My interests in CSM pre-date even hearing about Volt.

I finally had the chance to meet Core in person. He's dedicated, articulate, and passionate and he represents his constituency well. He's also an ultra-chill guy and is great to hang around with and just chat.

Don't let compliments from a Goon count against him. Core deserves to be back for CSM X.

As a loyal Provident, I'm wondering the same thing; I haven't seen much contribution from you in the minutes that have been released.

I look forward to the article, but I have to say I'm quite dissatisfied with the communication that CSM9 has (rather, hasn't) had with the player base.

Ahem!

Hi! We would love to hear from you.

Most of those resources you have listed have been completely unknown to me completely until now.

And even still, I cannot find much advocation from you as representative of the playerbase, and Provibloc specifically. In the the year I have been playing EVE on this account - most of which coinciding with your continued tenure in CSM 9 - I have been made aware of but one advocation that you've made to CCP regarding jump fatigue and its impact on null travel with jump fatigue. And I only learned of that two weeks ago through speaking with the executor of a Provibloc sov holding alliance regarding the concerns I have regarding our representation through you to the CSM.

The closest advocation for a specific idea without going gray pouring through all the media mash is a tweet you sent out on the 23rd of January:

“a sovereignty design, with the goals including spreading fights over a larger area, and removing the requirement for hitpoint grinding.”

That sounds great and I wholeheartedly agree: in fact, most people would. However, it lacks specifics. What’s more is that it’s missing your thoughts on how the sovereignty mechanics in EVE should be rethought. This is nothing more than a statement of general sentiment from the playerbase.

How do you think taking a system in null should work specifically? What burdens should an aggressor or system defender face and ultimately triumph over to take sovereignty in a system? Do you think certain mechanics of sov warfare in it’s current form should be removed entirely and replaced by new ones? If so, what are they?

These are the sorts of questions that go unanswered, and this is simply for one of many issues you have mentioned in your platform. I am fully aware that there is an NDA legally binding you from releasing details from the CSM summit and communication between you, the CSM, and CCP, but surely your personal opinion isn't under such constraints, correct?

Another recent tweet you've sent out was Rhavas’s (full disclosure, I have no idea who this guy is) “Early Thoughts (of the) CSM X Elections and the End of CSM 9”. He writes the following:

“I haven’t been able to get excited about Core. I have seen a lot of cheerleading but not a lot of constructive activity. A lot of ‘good fight’ tweets, but that doesn't equate to CSM quality for me. I haven’t seen any real communication of substance. Maybe the summit minutes will show something different. His constituency does seem to like him, so while I don’t endorse him, if you’re a Provi person and like what he’s done, go for it.”

While those aren’t my words, those are my sentiments exactly. I feel as though the entirety of your platform is simply that of geographical representation.

I hope you understand the message I am conveying and how disappointed I am to be doubtful that our CSM representative from Provibloc is representing us well as a region and coalition, and the playerbase in whole.

Regardless, I am looking forward to that EN24 post and I wish you among all the other CSM X candidates the best of luck.

I understand most of the discussions around nullsec sovereignty discussions between you, the rest of the CSM, and CCP are restricted under NDA, but your ideas are not. Even disregarding sovereignty changes, you are free to tell the whole world about your specific contributions to CSM and your specific ideas for CSM X should you be reelected to a second term, regardless of the subject matter.

Unfortunately, you still haven't answered my question and haven't given me a single specific idea or contribution you made to CSM IX, though you keep referencing the EN24 article. I sincerely hope that will answer all the questions I have about your candidacy and platform, however, I won't hold my breath.

Regarding your displeasure with me posting on a public forum and your referencing your regular posting on the CVA forums, CVA hasn't found us worthy for positive standings, and so our Proviblue alliance is denied access to their forums almost entirely. Regardless, I believe any dialogue between a CSM candidate and a his or her constituency should be a matter of public record. I believe your platform should be too, and that is why I post here without giving a thought to mailing or convoing you in game, regardless of your availability.

As I said before, I look forward to that article and potentially a more specific answer to the question I've been asking: What did you specifically contribute to CSM IX, and what do you intend on contributing and advocating in CSM X should you be reelected?

loved the http://evenews24.com/2015/02/03/csm-post-csm-winter-summit-2015/ you got my vote already.

Hope you can contribute in CSM X for sov changes, even though Mittens calls Provi the "fishbowl of nullsec"
