Jita Park Speakers Corner

Also, best of luck with your campaign! I certainly believe High Sec more voices on the council.

I share many of the same beliefs and goals as you (I hate seeing new players washed out of the game in frustration), we just disagree somewhat on the most effective method of empowering new players.

Keep in touch, there will be plenty of time for more good conversations about new player issues.

False. Players can Faction Warfare. - its basically just a massive consensual war dec mechanic.

It was supposed to be much more, but was broken from the beginning mechanically, and so up until the recent plexing fix the permanent flashy status of the enemy has been the entire appeal to Faction Warfare the last three years. The ability to have a massive pool of war dec targets to fight with, without having to endure gate fire. (which is also why I'm in strongly in favor of less gate fire, in less situations throughout low sec)

dec-shield candidate lol

And yet:

I wouldn't call that immunity.

Anyway, on a related note, here's an alternative way wardecs could possibly work: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=67445&find=unread

Yea, apparently I didn't phrase that very well.

In short though -10 sec status people in hisec should have the local police follow and point/web/neut/jam them (depending on sec status of the system), otherwise the low security status becomes a mild inconvenience, rather than something which should be a hinderance.

I have no problem with ganking, piracy or whatever someones chosen method would be to get there, but security status should mean just a little more than it does currently - after all, EVE is about the repercussions.

What I am looking for a candidate is for them to:

1. support some sort of casual pvp via a contract system
2. enhance WIS
3. upgrade the mission system
4. make PI more like sim city
5. push to open up story lines for jove (possible WH expansion)
6. make FW include pirate missions like (kill so many people in system A)
7. make referendums for important CSM decisions… (if its real important we should all vote for it) this would be for major game changing things such as refocus and such
8. eliminate clone costs for players over 4 years old (to encourage pvp for old vets)
9. gethe fith subsystem for Tech III ships
10. kill all super caps (as in a real counter to them not this crap that I will only fly super caps now so give me back my sp cuss I cant use drones sh*t)
11. a way to integrate PI and ship crews and have an effect on your ships performance

Basically a CSM who represents the old vet casual pve/pvper

Darn it, Kelduum, what you are supposed to look at is how to avoid Orca maintenance bays being used by outlaw pilots for suicide runs in high sec. Possibly by classifying that allowing an outlaw to use your maintenance bay marks you as aiding the person (makes sense I think) and makes the outlaw flag switch to you.

But in general a whole rewrite of Crime Watch is needed (you should already know what that is), and that would likely take care or make a better option for this issue by itself.

I would like to vote for you, but I am not being impressed here.

Actually, it's because of this issue and that it forced CCP to consider fixing hisec wardec mechanics in 2012 that I would consider supporting this candidate.

Had Eve-Uni not taken advantage of the broken mechanics and the publicity brought upon it, CCP would not be considering revising wardec mechanics for 2012. And many of you who complain and moan about how lame hisec wars are would still be moaning without any hope of CCP fixing it.

For years, people moaned and complained about the broken wardec mechanics. For years, CCP ignored it. And finally, someone brought it to light even it meant he was the scapegoat. So as much as some of you hate to admit it, you should actually be thanking Kelduum's for bringing this issue to the forefront.

Having said all of that, I would like to hear more about specific issues that Kelduum will run on before casting a ballot of course.

I endorse this person

Ever tried actually doing anything in hisec--aside from just transitting it in something small and fast--whilst blinky-blinky, assuming you are more of an "empire-space generalist," than a through-and-through losec pilot?

Going by this perfectly absurd carebear tripe, I didn't think so.

E: It becomes increasingly clear that you, Kelduum, either,

A) May genuinely want to represent a diverse demographic, yet know little or nothing about large aspects of same, and what their/our interests are.

B) Actually don't want to represent anyone but E-UNI and desire "special entitlements" under the aegis of same that, for all practcal purposes, exempt you and yours from the non-consensual PvP-informed sandbox that all other players must deal with. I most ardently hope this is not the case, as if it is, then you are doing your students a grave disservice, and have been for some time.

I'd like to believe that it's (A), but I'm far too old not to know better. Still one can dream, eh?
