Hi kids my names White Tree and I'm not running for CSM7. After my first trip to Iceland I decided this wasn't for me a second go round, and routinely stated this across the board. But CSM6's work is absolutely crucial to the development of EVE Online as a game, and as I go out and fresh faces come in - I think it's important we consider why we should keep some of the older faces, or at least the faces from CSM6 around.

Individuals like Selenee, The Mittani, Elise, Meissa, Two Step, and Trebor have been crucial in shaping the very structure of CSM6 and what it stood for. CSM6 is awash with various kinds of publicity both good and bad, but the pushes that CSM6 made during its term have changed the face of EVE in a way that no CSM that has come before it has.

CSM6 spearheaded new communication initiatives with CCP and the CSM entity. Using Skype primarily as an avenue for constant debate and discussion concerning important topics that both the CSM and CCP had on its agenda. No CSM that has come before it has used the tools at it's disposal quite like CSM6. We reached out to our various media contacts and across social networking websites to raise the various flags and banners of our causes, and our spotlights directly affected the development of EVE Online by introducing features like Time Dilation.

CSM6 very specifically managed to finally fight with CCP and eventually win the battle on balancing. CCP had been reluctant to attempt to rebalance the hulls and modules in EVE Online until CSM6 truly underlined the absolute necessity of iterating on balance as a full-time activity in the game. I'm going to have a little smug moment and say that you can thank myself, Prom and CCP Tallest specifically for the Gallente and Hybrid changes.

To add to this, CSM6 continues to express interest in developing areas of the game that are still functionally handicapped, or haven't been iterated upon in a way they truly need to be. Dead Horse POS mechanics, Lowsec and faction warfare and many other disastrously damaged areas of the game. All of these things which desperately need life breathed into them top the agenda lists for CSM6, and hopefully for CSM7 too.

So rather than this outgoing CSM candidate throwing his weight behind a single individual, I'd like to ask the community to see past their personal dislikes for candidates or whatever petty single-issue-votes they have in favor of continued intelligent iteration and innovation embodied by CSM6.

Re-elect: Selenee, The Mittani, Elise, Meissa, Two Step, and Trebor for CSM7.

Edit: This is not to say that all members of CSM6 didn't contribute to CSM6 these are just people I personally want re-elected. I feel their contributions to CSM6 are the heaviest and outweigh even my own by a considerable margin.

You turn your back on the guy who gave you bus fare to get home? And other than not repaying the monies-you omit his name from the re-elect Mittani's butt buddies thread in return. You should be a GSF member.

Yo dawg I'm not turning my back on you at all. I've dodged your thread specifically because I don't think you're a bad dude. I also didn't include Draco or Rob not because I don't like them, but because - again - I personally quantify the names I've listed as the highest contributors, they did the most, more than I did too. Direct your frustration about GSF members barreling down on you elsewhere I'm not down w/ it.

What is your opinion on Darius III? Do you agree with him that Vile Rat should have attended the most important space meeting over the health of his own son?

Paying someones bus fare surely is a great indicator for how good you were in the CSM.

Since Darius already commented here I would like to know your oppinion about D3s activity in CSM6. Vile Rat, Two Step and Seleene all have more or less confirmed that he was mostly an absentee member, but he still says that they are lieing as seen in his post HERE.

Could you comment on that?

I've been involved in way too many hilarious public spats lately so I'm sitting this one out and signing autographs from the ladies on the sidelines who all can't wait to get their hands on dis. You ever seen a lady look at a man with a massive gut and a beard? Dude you don't even know. You don't even know the mad skirt I pull with this setup.

Honestly nobody can do more damage to Darius III's campaign than Darius III is doing right now in his own thread, so I just want to say I think this is a great gesture that shows genuine appreciation and concern for the future of the game.

My bad, with all the hate I must be getting paranoid. I think you awesome guy and only one of the few CSM that can hold your liqour. Were you there when I hooked up with that extremely big boned Icelandic girl 102 minutes after the plane landed?

Hmmm
