Let me give you some advice, m8 - don't make your campaign all about "HI SEC" or any other kind of sec. Go into more depth about what your overall play experience in EVE actually is because I can promise you that if you put yourself in a box you will be limiting your voting pool. The CSM does not work in actuality (post-election) based upon who ran on what issues; while some members tend to have more institutional knowledge of a particular subject, they are not always the best to speak on it depending on the context of an ongoing discussion.

As for the current CSM, your three points are already well covered by Alek, Issler and Keldumm. Hell, Elise has forgotten more about Incursion running than most players will ever know. Don't assume that an alliance tag is a broad paint brush for what an EVE player is familiar with. Come election time, if current voting trends continue, you are probably going to need a minimum of at least 2,000 votes to get on CSM 8. Good luck.


I would quite enjoy it if he managed to push you or one of your kind out.


Hi, I created wormholes with CCP Greyscale and have spent most of my time in and out of CCP pushing equally on many different features. I'm pretty sure I nerfed something you love at some point as well, but that's life in the sandbox. My null-sec bias is blindingly obvious.

Quote:
You want to obliterate high sec as a viable way to make ISK in the game.


Actually, I was part of the original Invention dev team that ended the T2 BPO monopoly and opened up new avenues of revenue for ALL players. I don't care what part of space you live in.

Quote:
High sec needs about 8 members on the CSM to get proper representation...But in reality, the war has been lost already. The high sec haters have won, and all a high sec rep will be able to do on CSM 8 is be cast as whiner, when he sees the changes that are already in the pipe. Nonetheless, I will be exercising my democratic right to vote for a high sec rep, assuming CCP has not banned me by then.


You're not wrong in that if someone on the CSM spends their entire term talking about nothing but one area of space that they will be marginalized. That's pretty much a fact because no one else on the CSM or at CCP is going to listen to someone that misses the point that all areas of EVE game play are interconnected. The best CSM members are those that have an understanding of the how different elements of the game relate to each other and can argue their points intelligently without coming across as a single minded automaton.


Whatever you did in game as a dev is far far outweighed by your actions as a member of the CSM the last 2 iterations. High sec has been hammered every way possible, except for industry, and that is next, while on your watch.

As for understanding every part of the game, it may shock you that people like me in the game that have experienced all parts of the game, and have decided that high sec is for us, even on a temporary basis.

I was one of a group within EUNI that tested wh life on Sisi weeks before Apochrypha live, and had our first POS up in wh space 5 hours after Apochrypha went live, and had at least one up continuously for a year.
I was part of FCON, battling PL and the russians in a futile war as NC folded up.
I ran the null sec industrial wing (T1 BC's and T2 modules) for my corp out of Pure Blind when we were part of FCON.

My crew did OK in wh's, but not awesome, from an ISK perspective, but had a ton of fun until Kelduum shut us down.
While in null sec, even while dealing with countless CTA's, and having PL and Darkside sail through our lousy turf on almost an hourly basis, I walked out of null with many, many billions. The vast bulk of my NAV is from null sec.

And you know what, there are people living in high sec, with better credentials than I do when it comes to knowing the whole game. So do not suggest that high sec champions would not make excellent, perhaps even BETTER representatives of this game instead of the current cadre bent of making life in high sec untenable.

You may cast yourself as a moderate when compared to all the zealots, but you are part of the same political process. The zealots push an incredibly extreme, outrageous agenda, and then some "moderate" comes along, suggesting changes not as extreme as what the zealots are suggesting, but that still moves the whole spectrum one way or another. This has been modus operandi for a long time in the real world, and we are witnessing this now in the forums, and you are part of that political farce.

I'm getting the vibe here that when you're not mashing your keyboard on eve-o you spend your free time listening to Rush Limbaugh and reading Free Republic.

Whatever floats your boat bud.

And let me hand it to you, your crew runs the best political apparatus in the game.
I think if you wanted to get your ex-lawyer friend elected to a real political position, you could probably do it.

This is demonstrably untrue. Hi-sec has been repeatedly and hugely buffed over the last 2 years. The only nerf I can think of was the scaling back of certain unbalanced Incursion sites, and that applied to Incursions in all sectors, not just hi-sec, and even now the current situation is a buff over not having Incursions at all, as was the case 2 years ago.

Every other change to hi-sec has made it safer and more profitable.

Nonetheless, you're peddling the same paranoid conspiracy ranting as can be found on certain political fringes about how the government CSM has been infiltrated by communist nullsec agents and stooges in order to destroy OUR FREEDOMS highsec.

Why don't you tell everyone "why Kelduum shut YOU down" and why you're "obviously butthurt" against Kelduum being on the CSM?!

Thank you for all your feedback so far, It is very much appreciated and thank you to the current CSM Members for giving me tips/advise, like i said I'll be answering questions and getting this on the road when we get closer to the CSM, I am glad to see that people are being mature and keeping on topic.

Have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

What's your message to people who are keenly interested in hi-sec and how it interacts with the other zones, but don't consider themselves "hi-sec" players?

If I have it my way it'll be on my watch, actually. But unless highsec industry being "too heavily nerfed" or "completely destroyed" means "any nerf whatsoever", then you are coming off as a raving lunatic. Half a percent here, five percent there, compensate it all with the POS revamp making owning your own facilities instead of using the perfect, free or nearly free NPC provided facilities worthwhile, we're good.

Herr Ronin,

I notice you are a member of SQUEE, a null sec sov holding alliance, so how do you feel that you will truly be a hi sec CSM representative when your current interests (by employment choice) appear to be elsewhere? The apparent bias I allude to would seem to be supported by those posting in your favour in this thread.

Would you not, in fact, just be another HBC/CFC nullbear CSM representative?

How very true, Considering I joined this corporation before i took a X-Mas break, It does look like they have joined a Null Sec Alliance, I understand that a simple thing like this can confuse people like yourself, but if you digged a little bit more you will see i have 0% Interest in SQUEE and i have been dormant in a High Sec.

Mr Piranha, since you seem to have a clear vision and sound knowledgeable about every aspect of the game... why not run for CSM yourself and let the voters decide?

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
