Jita Park Speakers Corner

Gday.

I have been playing EVE since mid-2006 as the player character Wusti, but my wife and 2 kids (11 and 15) know me as 44 year old Russell Stuart of Sydney, Australia.

For those that haven’t already heard the story and have been confused about how to pronounce my in-game name, think Russell -> Rusty -> Speech impediment -> Wusti. Like many – who would’ve thought I’d still be going by that name 6 years on?

My experience in EVE to date has been a rich one. Since 2007 I lead first my corp The New Era through our noob stage after our first real 0.0 corp Blood Inquisition closed its doors out in Stain. It was clear we had no clue about EVE and so retreated to build and learn in lowsec. It was here while running our trusty Level 4 missions and getting a taste for PvP and piracy, that we first laid down plans for a return to 0.0 – NPC 0.0 to be precise – and Syndicate.

After a long sojourn in Syndicate during its heyday, we moved on to sample the delights of Sov 0.0 first in the NC and then under our own banner of C0NVICTED.

So why am I boring you all with this bio?

The reason is because my candidature is not focussed on iterations of 0.0 alone. It is not focussed on ship balancing alone, it is not focused on small gangs or lowsec or war deccers or any other group.

My candidature is aimed at doing what small amount I can as your representative to improve the journey through all segments of EVE and all of those play styles.

I do not see EVE as a group of disparate mini-games in W-space, lowsec 0.0 etc., but rather as an inter-connected community in desperate need of renewal at all stages of the EVE journey.

Half the problem with null sec is that its the same old faces doing the same old s*** for the same old reasons. EVE needs a new generation and therefore it needs the where withall to develop them.

Here are just a few of the items I'm interested in taking to CCP:

Bounty system overhaul
War Dec mechanics
Sov 0.0 Industry and Outposts
iHub Upgrades
Review of comabt mechanics - frigates/cruisers/bcs/BSs/capitals/supercapitals rely on a somewhat broken system of tracking, sig radius speed and other factors that impact the ability of one class to destroy/hit another. Hull class should matter a whole lot more than it does right now.


Vote Wusti for CSM 7 for a balanced, level headed approach and true representation on CSM 7.

+1 for the Dads!

I don't think anyone who's ever had any sort of conversation with you would ever describe you as 'balanced' or 'level headed.'

Isn't that why Bandert is running your alliance now?

Well its a relative term so take it as you will, and Bandert remaining on running the day to day operations of AIF I would say is a testament to my balanced and level-headed take on things. Please post with your main next time though.





You lost me there mate. I can however honestly say that I look forward to the day when Moon goo ceases to be a major funding element of 0.0 alliances, and it become far more player activity based. This sort of system would've made many small alliances lives easier in the past - and of course small alliance's leaders too.

As much as I like FKRUN and Waukesha and like alot of what I see about them - AIF and TNERA pre-date FKRUN so your assertion doesn't make alot of sense.

Also we have a slightly different orientation and aim to FKRUN at alliance level. They are more sharply focussed than us on "elite PvP" and AIF is more about building community as well as a PvP focus.

I did however enjoy your smack down in Delve a while ago though

Well Mr Wusti- G'day mate, I'm about to be your 100th "Like" Good luck in the vote mate :)
