Secondly, the talk about the wormhole stabilizer (My blog post on the topic) just goes to prove that folks who live in w-space cannot see having a CSM rep as just a nice to have, but it is an absolute requirement. Without someone to speak up, CCP and other CSMs might ruin everything we have all worked so long and hard for.


You have my vote assured on this point primarily. With the CSM dominated by Null Sec corps and alliances it is not hard to work out the motives for those on the CSM in favor of this move as it will open the doors to a ridiculous amount of Null Sec invasions into higher class WH's as well as causing ridiculous problems to lower class WH residents as well.
In my honest opinion we have to reelect Two Step as a WH voice in the dark and representative of the WH dwellers.

Good luck to you.

A few months ago I was all set to vote for Mittens again, but I joined a worm hole corp and found my place in Eve. All the fun of null sec but without all the political baggage and BS that comes with it, along with a lot of fun small scale PVP. I probably would have voted for His Goonness anyway but then someone on the CSM mentioned some sort of new ship or modual that could hold a worm hole open long after it would normally collapse to allow more ships to come through. The blob would be coming to W-space.

*sigh*

So now all three of my active accounts will be voting for you Two Step, and I'll be actively campaigning for you in my alliance (and it looks like Rek Seven will be as well).

If the blob comes to W-space I'll sell all my characters and look for another game...

Now for a humble suggestion: CCP has been talking about re-writing POS code. I'd like to be able to dock in a POS and see the same kind of environment that I see in a station (See all my ships and mods and be able to change fittings, maybe even have a jump clone in there). I know that CCP didn't intend for W-space to be colonized, but the simple fact remains that a lot of people live in it. The current POS mechanics make even the most mundane tasks a total PITA and it's long overdue for an overhaul.

Good luck with your run for CSM and if you see me in W-space don't hesitate to shoot me in the face -I know I won't think twice about cycling my guns Big smile

I think it was Meissa who suggested the Wormhole Stabilizer, none of the null CSMs actually give a **** about wormholes or 'blobbing w-space', f y i.

How would you protect the obvious and overwhelming purity of WH pvp?

For example, what do you think should happen to WH corps who use exploits, especially when they have been told by CCP that they are exploits?

Kicked from the game, or their members banned from running for CSM perhaps?

All the more reason for Two Step to get a propper seat on the council i guess, if no one else gives a crap about wormholes What?

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Aww, but you corp cares. And by care I mean would like to go shoot those Taggart something objectivists. Not necessarily in the face, I'll settle for the back.

Thanks for your support. I would also like to see the ability to dock for real at a POS, and hopefully that would be added when POSes are re-written.

I'd like to see some sort of mechanic that cleans up abandoned POSes and mods. The ability to hack them, or perhaps just have the sleepers come and kill them...

Again, addressed on my blog here http://twostep4csm.blogspot.com/2011/03/infinite-tracking-wtf.html

CCP decided on a punishment, which didn't include banning us or disallowing me from a CSM run. If you are still mad about something that happened 15 months ago, feel free to vote for someone else. I will still do my best to represent everyone living in w-space.

Well, for whats its worth, here are 2 votes for Two Step from a WH dweller. WHs are the least broken segment of the game and I'd rather keep it that way.

W-space couldn't ask for a better representative. I think you've done a fine job for all of us thus far, and I hope you will continue to do a fine job on the next CSM, keeping W-space fun and functional. Corp BMs was big fat target #1, go for POSes next!

I hope I didn't miss these elsewhere in the thread, but I have three questions for you:

1) How do you feel about time dilation and the potential impact it has on CCP in regards to demotivating them in upgrading server hardware?

2) PLEX/GTC prices are too damn high. How will you leverage your influence on the CSM to bring down the price of game time paid with isk?

3) How should CCP reward veterans for their longevity in playing this game instead of punishing them via "end-game" nerfs?

Thanks for answering and good luck in your campaign!

1) TiDi is awesome. It certainly isn't the end of all lag, but it is a great stopgap solution. Enough people don't like TiDi that there should still be pressure on CCP to continue to optimize, so I don't see a big problem here.

2) CCP has some limited options to try to reduce PLEX pricing, some of which were discussed in the December summit minutes. Saying any more than that would run up against the NDA. I think the best thing for CCP to do in the long run is to keep making EVE a good game, then people will want to spend RL $ to buy stuff.

3) Again, this was discussed in some detail in the December summit. CCP is working on a veteran rewards program, which is a good thing. I consider having a large number of SP a pretty darn good reward, though CCP does need to continue to add new skills for those of us that are running out of skills to train.

Living in wormhole isn't easy. It requires a lot of independence and a good knowledge of just about everything in EVE to survive.

I learned more in my first week in wormholes than in the year previously.
-How to scan
-How to PI
-How to do industry
-How to use d scan
-How to scout
-How to find a POS or a target with d scan
-How to setup an overview to show the info I need
-How to manage a POS
-Finding sign of hostility in a wormhole
-Gathering information in general

There's a little bit of everything in wormholes, so we learn a little bit of everything.

Not like its not been said before, but WH space is the best space for me as well. There is nothing like it in any MMO I have ever played.

Only issue I have is with the POS system which has been discussed, I do not enjoy flogging a dead horse... I would love for that to get some loving.

I have a lot of respect for you and your corp and you seem like a stand up dude. I appreciate the work and dedication you put in this past year and I feel your track record has earned you another go. I look forward to helping - you will have all of my votes. Best of luck

This is not to be unexpected. I'll bet null sec residents care as much about "invading" wormhole space as my alliance cares about taking sovereignty. They're two completely different areas of the game, and we're both happy with where we are.

We wormholers are just a paranoid bunch, is all. Blink
