CSM Campaigns

The Short Version
I am officially announcing my candidacy for the 11th Council of Stellar Management.
I will be running solely as a reform candidate.
If elected I will advocate for sweeping reforms to the CSM, it's relationship dynamics with CCP and the electoral process itself.


The Long Version

~Not Long Ago~
There was a time when I ran as a reformist candidate and was laughed at by the mainstream establishment, one former CSM member even went so far as to compare my reforms to the gestapo. This was a time of great trepidation and ignorance a wellspring of naivety and uncertainty.

~Soon After~
Controversy after controversy rattled the CSM and the eve community. Absentee delegates, NDA Violators and other assorted cloves of drama and dysfunction. Discord and demagoguery reign like a paranoid tyrant.

~Present Day~
The multitudes cry out for reform as the very foundations of the eve community tremble.

First off: I somehow like you.

Eventhough i only saw some parts of your extended discussion in corp chat.

You jump to conclusions pretty quick. You get emotional. You get pretty attached to your point of view.

But you don't back off that easily & you certainly don't let others overtalk you.

pretty much the shithead the CSM could realy use.


so eventhough I'm not sure if you're pretty clever or maximum borderline I'll support you.

A vote for Xenuria is a vote for Turtlenecks.

A vote for Xenuria is a vote for entropy. Xenuria '16!

Does that mean you've given up on your "grr goons" and "+10 standings should give you free ****" campaign platforms?

You were Grr Goons though, for a number of years and your platforms were based entirely around it. The only thing that's changed is you were finally allowed to join goons without being purged 5 minutes later.

I don't disagree that the CSM needs reform but simply stating the CSM needs reform is in no way a reason to vote for you, if you could share some of your ideas on HOW you want to reform the CSM then you might be taken a bit more seriously but at the moment you seem a bit flakey as a candidate.

Ok, Lets try a little game of lets be serious.
The CSM has had an up and down year, some members have done an amazing job (you know who you are) and some less so (likewise) what reforms do you envisage that would encourage the best of us to apply and give their all, without suffering discouragement, whilst eliminating the wasters and attention seekers and those who just want to ruin the game for the rest of us?

Answers on a postcard to.... Well here would be a good start.

Why do you feel the need to "bite" are you once again labeling me a troll simply because I don't swallow your entire campaign without questions and criticism?

Also assuming everyone will immediately know what you mean when you say things is poor form, sadly nobody has Mind Reading trained to V so we need to have things explained to us and reforming the CSM is something that can happen any number of ways so it's not at all assumed prior knowledge.

I'm looking for specific information on how you plan to overhaul the CSM based on your understanding of how the CSM works, you seem to be assuming that everyone can guess your plan and are instead relying on pretty vague statements. You said it's difficult for you to explain yet you're running your entire campaign on it, a CSM member needs to be articulate and specific and so far you've shown neither.

I do not see my presence in the alliance as an endorsement of what some members of the alliance say or do.
If and when somebody does something that I personally feel is inappropriate or messed up I let it be known. Do to how I am, I don't believe in showing favor to anybody because of rank, social status, influence etc. If a director in the imperium did something really messed up or creepy I would put them on blast.

I feel it's not only possible for people who don't agree on everything to work together, I believe it's essential to the survival of this game.



I think vigilance and oversight are the hallmarks of a good participation system. Obviously there are some aspects of how participation is measured that I am not privy to, that said I have some ideas.

When I work on anything as a behavioral consultant or even in security work, I always like to document the time I spend and what I spend it doing. Punch in - Punch out, is simply not sufficient for something like this so I would concoct a To-Doo system that allowed members of the CSM to claim or assign themselves to tasks they felt themselves best suited to.

Id Est: CCP has a bunch of gameplay changes/proposals that need to be looked over half are wormholes and the other half have to do with PVE in HS. Member A of the CSM can say "I got the wormhole stuff unless anybody else want's it or wishes to collaborate with me on it." Member E says "I am not that well versed in WH stuff but I know alot about how HS mission runners think, I'll take that part". With a system like this is becomes painfully obvious via data and trends who is just not doing anything.



You seem like you want to ask a question. Unfortunately I am unable to find one other than why I should feel the need to respond to you. Honestly, based on your previous history of posting in my threads; I don't.
