CSM Campaigns

Now available, the interview recorded by CSM Watch for our CSM 11 election coverage: Apothne's interview

Enjoy !

Hey so as well as Me, Nash, Gorski and Hyde you should totally vote for my man Jin'taan.

It's been a long time since I have lived in HiSec (~3 years). My HiSec activities are mostly restricted to station trading in Jita which is how I make my ISK. I am interested in the development of war dec mechanics and have recently gotten involved in the new war dec group proposal. I am also providing consultancy PvP knowledge and tactics to E-Uni FCs to assist them there. I actually started my FCing by fighting HiSec wars with E-Uni of varying scale.

Largely speaking people in HiSec should vote for me because they think even though I am a candidate who is not from their space, I am one who is open minded and can come to less familiar issues without an overriding bias. One who will will listen to and consider their issues and concerns, rather than just representing what is best for the group of players I am most closely affiliated with in the game, regardless of how it affects everyone else.

CODE seems like a fun RP group for players who enjoy HiSec warring.

See above?

CSMWatch analysis show #3 (where they discuss me): http://csmwatch.com/2016/02/04/csm-watch-presents-csm-11-analysis-show-3/

So, I've been listening to your last appearance on the Jeffraider Show, and I have to see I'm really glad I voted for you.

Your point about the dichotomy about PvE and PvP, and the forced separation between PvE and PvP fits, is pretty much what I have been thinking about for a long time. And I totally agree with the notion that making PvP fits the defacto fits would ease more people into pvp.
Those who disagree think that it is not a good idea because they wouldn't get *all* carebears to start PvPing, that's faulty thinking. FW plexes have not made all their users into pvpers, but they still made *some* of them into people ready to sometimes stand their grounds.
This is what eradicating all those PvE fits could do to eve as a whole, ease people into being active in the tisk/reward equation instead of the binary running away at the first sign of trouble.

Anyway, I really hope you make it into the CSM, we could use more people that are not afraid of the PvP potential of the game.

To be honest I don't know the exact formula for calculating those figures, but I am a follower of your blog as I am a mathematics undergraduate in real life and really enjoy reading your analysis.

I am dropping out of the running to become a member of CSM11. Over the past month I have been hit with a severely debilitating illness, and due to its impact on to my health and thus my undergraduate degree programme, the next six months for me are not what I expected. I have been in contact with the always lovely /u/ccp_logibro who has pulled me out of the running.

I want to apologise to anyone who may have voted for me who thus loses a spot on their ballot for someone else. If I knew that this was going to happen I would have dropped out before voting began, but sadly the long term effects to teh coming year have only become apparent over the last weekend.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for all the support, advice and kind words during my campaign. Initially I was unsure as to whether I would be a candidate people would have any interest in, but the response I got when I starting seriously consdering it and discussing it with others was overwhelmingly positing, so thank you all for that.
