Thats right.

Our very own resident Bronson Hughes should be the next candidate for C&P CSM rep.

Why?

Why not? The guy knows both sides of the coin (PVP/PVE), is trustworthy, and plays for the middle ground in terms of balance.

He has also learned not to click my .gif links INCREDIBLY fast. Smart, too.

+1 for Bronson Hughes, CSM whatevernumberisnext.

I fully endorse this endorsement.

I guess that means I need to work on a platform.

For starters, I'd push for an official CCP-sponsored Thunderdome-style event the magnitude of the AT, but for individual participants. Open to anyone, no requirements for membership in an alliance or corporation.

Everything else I'll start working on and I'm willing to take suggestions.

Speaking of that, I'd like to add that I'm not afraid to make mistakes and share them publicly. I would be a humble and transparent, yet still somewhat entertaining, CSM overlord.

Another platform item: wardec reform. While I don't claim to have created this particular solution, it's one I back because I feel it makes sense.

I 100% believe that scaling wardec fees that financially punish those who are engaged in very lopsided (i.e. wardeccing a corp smaller than 1/X the size of your corp), very many (more than Y number as aggressor), or very long wardecs (i.e. any wardec longer than Z number of months) would do wonders for hisec.

(X, Y, and Z to be determined.)


I feel that having wardec fees scale in this manner would make it easier for smaller corps to try wardec PvP while still leaving them vulnerable to repercussions and at the same time reign in large corps who wardec everything that moves (which likely discourages player corp formation) while still leaving them able to do so if they're willing to pay.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I don't think this is the only thing necessary in order to reform wardecs. I feel like changes to NPC corps and player corps need to be included to complete the reform, but this is a simple first step. I'm still formulating opinions on corp reform and I'll post as they solidify.

I think perhaps you misunderstand.

I merely want to know what "do wonders for highsec" means. I've seen you use it more than once, and I'd like to know what that means.

It means to improve upon the current state of the sec zone by a measurable amount.

*facepalm*

I'm asking what effects arising from increasing wardec fees would he consider an improvement of highsec. In specific terms, not generalities.

I'm not asking for depth, that's my whole point.

I see.

I have a love/hate relationship with hisec. I want to move more players out of hisec to experience more of ehat EvE has to offer (as does CCP), but at the same time I also realize that there's a good chance that a majority of players will only ever want to live in hisec. As such, I see hisec as both vital to the survival of EvE, yet also somewhat stagnant and in need of repair.

To "do wonders for hisec" would mean to make it more interesting for the folks who want to stay, while not so wildly profitable that those who would consider leaving stay because they can safely make more ISK there.

One of the things that I think is causing hisec to stagnate is the overabundance of hisec players in NPC corps. I see re-working the wardec system (fees included) as part (and only part mind you) of a process to make joining a player corp more appealing, profitable, yet still vulnerable to wardec. In particular, I see the mass wardeccing of small new-ish corps by large, experienced PvP corps as detrimental to new player corp development.

And that's all I want to say until I've had more time to formulate a position.
