CSM Campaigns

Have known Migui ingame for a while and can´t think of a better CSM candidate.

I think that players should use the trial to actually try the game. The metagaming is so hard that we aren't likely going to let trials in in most corps or alliances, sadly. But this said, the tutorials or something else should have a way to showcase the game better to the newbros.

EVE is a dynamic place, it is not only killing the same rat a million times before you are done, it is not only about rocks. Many newbros are fooled into thinking that missions and mining are the best thing to earn money as a newbro, and they stick with that until they give up because grinding 800M as a newbro is hard.

But there is a lot of stuff just to try out there. Why aren't we showing them? Exploration, wormholes, ninja-gas mining, even getting eyes over one of those huge fights that come up into the social media, whatever. EVE is a real living thing, made up by players, it breathes and it is amazing, but we have to show them how amazing it can be without having to wait weeks or months or forever until they suddenly make into a corp that does that kind of stuff.

EVE is a game about meaningful decisions but you can't decide without knowledge and without anything to compare. Take a newbro into nullsec. Have him die to a gatecamp. Give him another ship and teach them to be careful. Show them to use dscan and stuff to venture into the deep space without being completely alone or relying into having luck.

New Player Experience is showing them why we love this game despite all the huge wall that the learning curve is. We don't need a flat learning curve either, but many things can be improved the first two weeks of a character that can dramatically change the decision to subscribe or to leave forever because "Lol grinding internet spreadsheets online" etc.

Thank you guys!

Well that sure is a relief.

Knowing you don't want miners "out, murdered or anything". Right now I'm feeling the sort of gratitude that was likely felt by lepers in medieval times on hearing the new local lord wasn't going to burn down their camp and drive them over a cliff and into the sea.

And go right ahead promoting the idea that miners spend all their time magically mining afk for hours on end. The secret must be in one of those guides to making isk in Eve I keep seeing ads for.

No one I know has ever subscribed to Eve because they got all excited about being a miner. But a lot of people do get drawn in because of the opportunity make stuff. Some of those folks like to make stuff in small groups or on their own and derive pleasure from resource gathering themselves and that requires a LOT of time spent mining. But when you've churned out your manufactured item the mining grind seems worth it and whether as a corp, group or individual you get to experience a real sense of achievement.

Oh, and believe it or not a lot of us miners do things other than mine. This is my 10th year in Eve and I'm still happy.
So no need feel sad on my behalf

I just listened to your Capstable interview and think you would be a good CSM. Only heard good ideas. Not a single thing I disagreed on. Added you to my endorse list .

I would like to say that i dont know someone else better prepared for this kind of work than migui, its someone who always got your back whenever you need it, knows a lot about the game and has a lot of interaction with the people.

anyone who knows him would say the same

Look at the names in that post. Such history.

2012 was a great year in nulsec. HBC had 14,000 proud sperging assholes all shooting the crap out of each other the south.

Eve-O isn't just about ships balancing, power projection, economics, and meta-gaming spies. Its also about the ties and friendships we form with other players that transcend alliance or coalition boundaries. I think Migui knows something of that.

The CSM needs a member that knows what its like to go from major powerhouse to utter bottom of the barrel, and the long climb back out of irrelevance. He also has a stable personality and a dislike of drama, unlike certain other candidates. If you are a member of TEST you should be voting for this guy. Even if you're not, you should still vote for him.
