If Hans Jagerblitzen can get players to cooperate in Empire space and join with them in FW I think he just might be the guy to unite players around the goal of making EVE Online BETTER for all players.

I live in null and the current CSM6 is great for the few giant alliances, but not for the little guys just starting out. I am not voting for any of the current members of CSM6 because they act like schoolyard thugs with no vision for improving the game. Additionally it seems like they want to take credit for CCP realizing they were going in the wrong direction when truth be told it was the actions of many players rioting and unsubscribing that made CCP reevaluate. If the CSM had really been effective they would have been able to convince CCP prior to the player revolt not afterwards. When the CSM finally gets CCP to listen what did they do? They get CCP to nerf everything their swamp with massive numbers tactics can't defeat. Selfish and small minded thugs squandering a great opportunity in my opinion.

More effective more rewarding FW will improve the PVP skills and coordinated combat skills of many newer players as well as older players who don't want PVP all the time, in my opinion, so I am supporting Hans Jagerblitzen.

The time has come for sensible rational leadership to speak for the majority of EVE players, the time for selfish juvenile bullies has past, vote for leadership that wants to improve the entire game, vote for Hans Jagerblitzen.

That is precisely my mission here. The militia community has been really supportive in understanding that they really are only providing the core vote base needed to compete against the 0.0 power blocs, helping me to shrug off the question about viability that has been rightfully directed at the other empire "front runner" candidates so far. It will be the wide-ranging support of pilots like yourself that believe in the inherent value of my platform that will help me the rest of the way to a top seat.

I want my election to CSM7 to be a truly grassroots effort spread among capsuleers from all walks of life who believe I can do a stand-up job of representing the non-null voice on the council. Hence, why Faction Warfare discussion only comprises a small portion of my complete platform.

The difference between a militia "bloc" vote and an alliance bloc vote is simple - I have no whipping power or authority to force compliance from any Faction Warfare pilot, and certainly not those that belong to enemy factions. In order to secure widespread, unanimous support from the leadership of the four militias, I've had to convince them to cooperate with my campaign based solely on the merit of my ideas and their collective faith that I will protect their voice with CCP if elected.

The work ahead of me now is to demonstrate to the voting public that the experience I've gained working with the militia community will equally serve the rest of the player base throughout the coming year.



A power base built on the strength of his ideas and leadership skills alone with the express goal of being inclusive of all EVE players to make the game experience better across the board ...... Vote for Hans Jagerblitzen!

I'd disagree with that assessment regarding TwoStep, Darius III, and maybe Trebor--my respect for Treb has see-sawed a bit over this last term--but overall:

This...Oh my freakin' God, THIS!

+1 Internets for you, Sir.

Hans for CSM7 Chairman!

*Edit* Ray Mitar kinda beat me to it Oops

Reading through a few of the "I support this posts" I've noticed that a lot of them are because Hans supports improved FW (Captain Obvious here) But also, more importantly I feel, because people see him as someone that will be good for EVE as a whole.

The majority of the other candidates are basing their power on promising the people who want candy more candy... and damned be everything else! Which is terrible, as it discredits the CSM in the eyes of CCP and does nothing to improve EVE as a game, for the playerbase as a whole.
Personally I've never taken part in faction warfare, or PVP of any sort really. But I think the ideas that Hans has will improve the game overall. Even if there was a candidate that wanted to boost mission running (Which is, IMO, the opposite of what needs to happen) I wouldn't vote for them. Would that candidate make me richer? Maybe. But they wouldn't be fixing any problems with EVE.

As an aside: Even though the nullsec powerblock candidates are often looked down on, I think they've actually done a decent job of furthering EVE as a whole, rather than just catering to nullsec.
Frankly though I think fixing problems with lowsec would alleviate some of the issues with nullsec.


tl;dr- Hans is a person who I feel will improve EVE as a whole, rather than some who will push his specific issues at the cost of everything else.

So we had three militias involved than, a fine display of cross-faction cooperation. I'm glad you got a chance to join in the glory!

I had a blast fighting the Shadow Cartel, I'll head over there again soon so the brave pilots who lost their capitals will have the opportunity for revenge. Keep an eye out for me!

How did you guys lose that archon btw? I had just logged on when people were linking battle report so no idea what happened. It seemed like shadow cartel got blobbed a little bit.

Bump for the candidate who will be getting my votes this time around. His focus on FW will be good for Eve as a whole; a better FW means a better home for pilots that want 24/7 pew pew but don't want the nullsec drama and alarm clock ops.

Goddess I should hope not.

FW is Eve, it is unique in that it has elements of all other areas in roughly equal measures; EHP grinds, small and large gang warfare, small and large ships, aggression/standings mechanics etc.

What Hans represents, and the reason why I (and many others I suspect) support him, is that he brings working knowledge of the whole she-bang to the table, that he due to his limited years knows that he does not know everything and has the wisdom to recognize that - complete with willingness to defer to those who do .. in short he has not yet been afflicted by that dreaded BitterVet Syndrome™.

A focus on FW would be a colossal mistake as it is made up of mechanics from everywhere/everything and thus stand to gain far more from a wider overhaul of mechanics in general. The "only" truly FW specific change required is the carrot/stick for occupancy, rest ties into Eve at large.

Considering the above, is this a mostly useless piece of health and safety advice like "mind your head" signs?

Considering that Hans is showing a "heads up" awareness to this issue I doubt he needs to borrow your special helmet on the matter as a result. Blink


I am happy to borrow Malcanis' helmet any time. He is one of the wisest voices on the forums, has transformed the way I personally look at certain game play issues, and been a major contributing influence on my campaign.

If I'm not misunderstood, he's just holding me to a high standard here and keeping me in check, both of which are appreciated.



Understood.

If I was cynical it could have been viewed due to the manipulation of what you'd said as a form of knuckle scraping intimidation as opposed to an awareness to interests.

But if you feel it is purely a sanity check then glad you can accomodate the thoughts. Understand the political savy as a result.



It was a warning for Hans, not a warning to him. The last time 0.0 sov was reworked, there was no consensus at all amongst 0.0 sov pilots that what we wanted was even more structure grinding. We specificaly said "Dear sweet baby jesus, please do not couple sov 0.0 to structure grinding".

What we got was Dominion.

That's my warning.

Finally a candidate that is not speaking "down" to players who don't do what he enjoys.

I have not got into FW yet but a good advocate like this Hans makes me want to jump in now. I want to try some of all the things EVE has to offer so i will not vote for some ego bloated bitter vet who gets off on insulting people ..... you know who you are.

I am not a high schooler so i do not need some rah rah gang of juveniles surounding me just to undock which seems to be the fashion in the null power blocs.

I am going to vote for Hans Jagerblitzen because he wants to improve the game for most everybody, a lofty goal but better to aim high and land in the middle versus aiming low and landing on your butt like the current CSM6.

I'm tired of the whiny nullsec brats being on display as the typical EVE player, so i'm voting for a rational adult, Hans Jagerblitzen for CSM7!

While individual votes are great, may I recommend that Corp CEOs actually eblast their corps to consider voting for Hans Or at least vote for someone rather than no one. Apathy is the killer in this game. Rock the vote

Hans is probably one of the most level headed candidates. He's been bringing issues before CCP and the CSM before he even decided to run for CSM. He cares about the development of the game rather than just using the CSM as a means to feed his ego. He has my vote and I will be urging everyone I know in caldari FW to vote for him for CSM.

I haven't gotten to all of you yet individually, those that I haven't contacted yet that are willing to eblast their corps with a mail or two, I have a mailing list set up for this purpose. That way I can send a personalized message to all the voters, I just need one rep per corp or alliance who is willing to forward this along for me when the time comes.

Send me and EvEmail if you're not already on the list and I'll give you permission and instructions on how to join!

A couple of quick questions. Do you agree
1) that the NEX store should be looted and burned to the ground?
2) that all Tech 2 BPO's should be converted to BPC's?
3) that we need a web interface to access core functionality like skill training and Market?
4) that system security status should be dynamic based on system activity?
