CSM Campaigns

Thanks, help spread the word!.

The most difficult issue non-bloc/independent candidates face is to reach non-bloc players to let them know there are candidates that truly care about play-styles diversity in Eve online.

Eve API devs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think whether they should.

While I'm not too fond of the fairly typical (and banal) "grrr goons/Panfam/whatever" posting you seem to quite like, I agree that the amount of free intel from the API as well as other sources needs to be looked at. Siphons were just the peak of the iceberg.

Third party apps have gone much further than just improving convenience and quality of life things; the free intel they provide has completely transformed the way a "good" player plays Eve. Eve has always been quite metagamey, and it's all fine and good to a certain degree, but there's such a thing as going too far.

You claim to be against the big guys and for the little guys, yet you argue for proposals that have significant negative impacts on solo/small groups and don't address any of the concerns at all, here:

Suggestion for CSM inspired requirement to post on the forum

Cynos - it's time to talk about it

Valid points have been ignored in favour of entering into bickering debate and disregard for staying on topic.

Why should we have any belief that you will be able to interact maturely with other CSM members and with CCP staff if you can't even address issues in the forum?

Funnily, you also seem to disagree with the validity of all other posts that raise concerns with the proposals.

There's not a single concern raised by anyone in those threads that has been acknowledged and accepted as a valid reason to change the proposals to a different position.

Go figure. It seems, based on the forum posts in those threads, that anyone who has a different view or idea is just not valid.

Not what we need in the CSM for sure.

to counter balance my last post i will try and be helpful



you want to fix sov and do exactly what you are trying to here?




remove sov

put 'system upgrades' into new structures independent from an Ihub (if you really want to make it hard to hold more systems then you are using make it fuel based and not bill based)


and that's all you have to do. You own space simply because you say you do and because you live there and support the infrastructure of the system



ps also go with ccps idea that moon mining becomes spawned belts from the drill platform and players need to actively mine it

I believe the ability to scam, steal, cloaky camp, gank or spy in the game is an activity that is no risks and all rewards, unlike other regular activities, because the other pilots of the player undertaking these otherwise valid options do not suffer any risk to their main ISK making assets. For me it breaks the concept of risk vs rewards that Eve is all about and that any miner, hauler, trader, missioner or PvPer have to face.

I started running under an alt to separate my assets at the time from the risk of backlash in-game from opinions that I would carry that I know are not popular among power players, because my campaign is all about curtailing the influence they have on the game, and look at features more from the little guy perspective, solo players or micro-corps.
Power players do not want change that can trheaten their own assets, like the siphons.

At the time, there was no reason for me to not use the means in the game to hide your alts that all other players benefited from, and I had to protect my assets.

CCP has put a new requirement that I welcome. I am not the target, those power players that create fake decoy candidate alts to spread out the independent votes for the CSM are. My best known alt is Borat, and none of my other alts are well known to the community. Like I said before, I am a little guy mostly playing solo.

As a matter of facts, for those that were curious enough to follow my game blog, I have started to communicate about my alts there. For those that did not pick up on that already, here is a reference link that will tell you more about my main and other alts.

One possibility to discuss is create an incentive similar to bulk-buying discounts. For each Omega account where all the pilots are publicly linked together by the player, each subscription time increases by one extra day.


I have been advocating this since my first campaign, before Inception.

The new ship fitting simulator is already a great step in that direction. I come from the place that any pilot, new to the game or older, should have a chance to train and simulate for the ships they just got the skills for, much like RL pilots train in simulator with no risks before slying a real plane.

Undocking a ship you are not familiar with is a risk to your asset in New Eden. If you were able to run a simulated mission without risks of other players interference, this would be better for everyone, except for those players taking advantages of the lack of experience of new pilots with their ships.
Sisi in some ways already fills that role, but clunkily and not entirely. Running a simulated mission perfectly suited for the chosen ship would be best, I believe.


As a general rule of thumb, I do not like the exploitation of game data outside of the game.

I appreciate the efforts of the community with third-party tools, like Dotlan who only reads already public data in-game but when third party tools can be used to serve power players more than anything else, I stop being neutral to their purpose.
Take siggy for example, crowdsourcing WH travel data helps PL more than it helps anyone else.
I do not use myself any third-party tools that requires feeding in-game information.

Like I mentioned in my campaign opening post, I support giving the option for a player to have their pilot's kills and losses recorded for their corp/alliance by showing under a common anonymous name for each corp. or not showing destroyed modules for those with this option on
I already explained this before, instant intel not gained in-game on other pilots is bad.
API provides out-of-game details from pilots you have never met before, favoring older players and those with technology skills to make the most of API data.



Depends on the changes, I did not support the way Siphons have been released. I do not support the way ESS can be placed in anomalies. I do not support rapid regenration of entosis nodes, even if I support the concept of regeneration.
As I said, I believe CCP needs a diversified CSM, with a variety of view points from different play-styles.

If elected, I will always look at the features from the solo or micro-corps perspective as well as from the perspective of a player that did not start playing this game in its first years.

This account linking suggestion is something that will improve this game immensely and break the hold of the big entities, it is something that I have wanted for a long time as I have seen too many examples of spy alts destroying interesting new groups with dynamic leaders by easy to do theft and intel that enables major groups to take or destroy their major assets.

In effect there are two ways to push account linking, the first would be to enable any character combination on the linked accounts, the second would be a discounted rate as compared to separate un-linked accounts, be it reduced price for paid subscription or more game time with plex.

As an overall point of view the small more independent minded players have been penalised continuously in this game and it would be good to see their views get listened too instead of the big blocks.



The issue here is quite clear, if big wig in PL/Goon uses an alt to scam someone how can his actions ever have consequences if you have no idea who did it as he used a throw away account, I have the capability to go off after someones main if I really want to, but hiding behind unlinked accounts makes for stale gameplay, this also applies to AFK cloaky camping, as I know who is doing it I can go after them too. It is a truly annoying part of the game that there are no consequences.

Still running for CSM XII to defend solo players and their fun in this game.

Freedom fighters, we need to have a voice inside CSM, don't let the biggest enforce their rules to you...

Sleepers must awaken !
