CSM Campaigns

I agree....

No, I'm not expecting a serious response to my honest review of his campaign. There's certainly no character assassination.

Another thing you've missed in your AFK idea besides that it actually would affect other players like Axioth has said, it would also do pretty much nothing to miners. A miner will be at the keyboard generally at least once every half hour, since they will need to empty their ship. If they are sitting there on grid for 3 hours AFK, then they are accomplishing nothing, and so don't need to be forced to be active, and in fact logging them off would be beneficial to them. This is just further evidence of a fundamental lack of understanding of game mechanics outside of your own area.

I suppose that is also just "character assassination" however.

LOL. Mate, you're signing up for what is essentially a political position. People are going to criticise you for what you do and what you say, that doesn't make them stalkers just because you can't deal with that criticism.

I note that you completely ignored the actual point of the post however, presumably because it proves that you have no idea what you are talking about.

If this is fun to you it just shows what a waste of time your attempt at getting to the csm has been.
If you think you could represent the population of EVE with what you have written here then I feel sorry for you as nothing you have said would encourage people it would rather make them worried that you would be representing them.

I have read a better candidate manifesto for this CSM and the writter is only 14 years old you should read it and learn.

Unfortunately This is just further evidence of a fundamental lack of understanding of game mechanics outside of your own area and as such you should retract your application for your own standings in the community if you have any left.

A vote for Tora is a vote for freedom and fashion sense, I fully support him. Don't be rused by the haters and posers, Tora is the man.

Tora,

We have spoken a few times in game, but you probably don't know me that well. I started out in TEST Alliance and flew in the war in Delve... found the politics tedious and boring and didn't want to get that hardcore over a video game... I moved back to high-sec to pursue my passion.

I was a high-sec griefer and ran a small corp with my friends called Wardec U. We were, about a year and a half ago, before CCP's obsession with killing high-sec, 2nd on the Corp. Bounty List (5th now). We were at war with you almost permanently through your support of many of our targets. Our M.O. was simple... hunt and destroy industrial corps until they shut down.

I have a point.. stay with me (my background is somewhat relevant).

I didn't start out my griefing passion with wardecs. A long time ago, when Eve was at its best, you used to be able to can-flip. This may have been just silly bullshit, but I loved it... we all did. We would always have some shenanigans to do, people to irritate and we made a fair bit of fake money (which is not our objective at all). There were mining fleets of people (and mostly alts) in the belts, greedily filling space with cans to save the 4 minutes it takes to dock and drop. Some were even super enterprising and would have one of their clowns flying around to scoop the asteroid poop for them. New players who shared our passion had a way to immediately pvp (the eve kind of pvp where deaths cost someone something, not the stupid E-Peen, I am so skilled at pressing my buttons kind like most MMOs).

Then, Eve released an update (not sure the name of the patch). They decided that Mining ships should have a special bay just for ore, that it should be large and that mining was too difficult (an activity that was already incredibly AFK). For the next two weeks our action decreased to the point of complete scarcity. Mining became a solo activity and jet cans were something we saw once in a blue moon. On top of that, in a later patch, they change the flagging rules... because somehow the internet space police are all knowing and can't be fooled... I quit the game because it was boring and I was pissed that a game that once prided itself on it's "ruthlessness" had backpedaled into nothing more than your typical world pvp mmo.

A year later, my buddy texted me with a new plan. We were still pissed, but he had a way to make miners pay... Wardec U was born and we were quite succesful in pissing off many deserving carebears.

I beleive that the Jetcan rules are creating a solo high sec. That high sec is so easy to AFK mine and AFK Mission run that there is no need for people to group up or join corps. Carebears can have their cake and eat it too. That I can not abide.

---

The reason I tell you my story is because there are plenty of people like me who stopped playing. Plenty. We want to see high-sec be a place where there is a purpose. Where miners need to work together again and can't just AFK. Where griefers (or pirates) are actually causing an impact in the AFK lifestyle of miners. I'm not just talking about suicide ganking... I'm talking about more immersive, hunt, annoy, destroy... My band of brothers would return if CCP got some intelligent perspective back in their discussion rooms.

My question to you is?

Are you my guy?

You can PM if you would prefer.

Thanks for your endorsement Tora and good luck with your highsec candidacy, I think its pretty solid overall.

Then you have just secured my votes as well.

Good luck Tora, and thank you for running!

Good luck in improving highsec!

Hi, I see nothing wrong in those logs.

You are trying to induce a rage reply with your "...", smileys and arrogance.

Quit being a troublemaker or hater/poser, improve yourself and dont overreact for anything.
