CSM Campaigns

I cannot state enough how strongly I support Joffy's run for CSM. This fellow is active at super-human levels, always participating in this event or organizing that event. His dedication, loyalty, humility and openness have made him an invaluable asset to ABA as an alliance, and to the EVE community as a whole.

I'm glad to see someone from low sec running.

You mention a few things about faction war. There have been 2 things that players pushed for and ccp said they would do years ago to encourage pvp in faction war plexes, but they never did.

Those 2 things are timer rollbacks, and better intel tools so we can defend plexes. Preferably the latter would be some sort of intel tool that would allow faction war pilots to have real time intel on where plexes are being taken so they can go defend the plex before the timer expires.

Here is a post that discusses this a bit more in detail:

Unfortunately ccp never managed to get these changes in.

Would you push for these changes if you were elected to csm?

Thanks for the response Joffy.

I think the intel may have been through the use of the map as opposed to notifications. I don't really care how they do it. If people wanted to turn off (or filter the notifications to be within a certain jump range) that would solve the problem of spam. IMO it doesn't matter how they deliver the intel. I certainly agree not everyone in faction war would use this intel. But those who like to fight for sov definitely would.

IMO CCP needs to follow through with their promises on both of these measures so rabbit plexing can be constrained. That is the key to making fighting for sov fun. And I strongly suspect eve would do much better if there were some fun sov wars to fight in as opposed to just random pvp.

Giving people rewards for pvp (in an unexploitable way) is unlikely to change much. But it wouldn't hurt.

I'm happy to talk about all sorts of faction war proposals and topics but IMO most of them won't change very much. The two proposals I mentioned are the most important proposals to change fw sov warfare from the fightless alt grind it currently is.

I would be interested in knowing if CCP still would like fw sov to be won by pvp or if they are happy with the current alt rabbit plexing system. They seemed pretty content from the csm X minutes.

BTW the top 3 vp gainers for faction war in the last week are:
1. Orn Lorn
2. Monk-Black fast
3. xFleuryx

I can't post killboard links but feel free to look these guy's killboards up yourself. vp is gained when you complete a faction war plex it will either increase the amount the system is contested if you run offensive plexes or it will decrease the contested level if it is a defensive plex. So these "warriors" did the most to help contest or uncontest systems for their faction. Is that the vision?

I get the stats here:

Thx Cearain :)

I've noted both Down and will Work on doing a proposal for atleast the timer rollback.
I'd love to have a chat with you after my vacation so we maybe can crunch some numbers or discuss other Things.

Thx Mixu :)

Last week I had the pleasure of having a short conversation with Joffy on slack. I had first heard of him at Eve LA when Lantana Grey and Lanctharus were discussing his candidacy. Joffy is extremely articulate and thoughtful, and is willing to listen to other view points that conflict with his own. My only worry is that he will have a difficult time getting his voice heard during remote calls at the csm summits. I've heard this voiced by a few other people that I've talked to. Joffy, can you address this?

Spent much time in Broadcast4Reps w/ Joffy, he has my vote.

Hello Bebop

I've talked with current CSM member Steve Ronuken also known as Fuzzysteve and he said that it'll ofc be a bit annoying but as long as i butt in it should go ok :) it's no different than a business conference and ppl do that over the World remotely.
But no matter what we need to remember that the summits is just a part of being elected on the CSM, it's about discussing changes, listening to player feedback and warning CCP if they do catastrophic Things XD hopefully that doesn't happen.
I'll also help motivate Fellow CSM'ers or Devs if they feel Down or sad. We all have those moments and we can just as well admit it.

I may have left SF a long while ago, but I'm still very found of both the corp, Rixx and Joffy. Those FFA tournaments are still some of the most memorable moments in my EVE career. I'm not even in Lowsec anymore, but I'd vote for you. Joffy the man, the myth, the legend.

Stay Frosty

Quack

I endorse this.

I have no worry about your ability to be effective nor to communicate with CCP, the CSM, nor the player base.
