Anyone active on these forums over the last few months will have heard of James 315 and his ambitious project to reform highsec. Needless to say, he is a somewhat controversial character, and has been the subject of many a long debate on these boards.

James' effect on Highsec could not be clearer. You merely have to visit the system of Kamio to see the effect that his organisation has had on the area in only twenty days; Local chat is active and stimulating, and the ice belt is completely free of bots and bot-aspirants. The market is thriving, and there is a healthy amount of PvP occuring, both in the form of ganks and multiple war declarations caused by the New Order's activities. In short, it has been a huge success.

While the reformation of Highsec will surely go on (with the New Order turning its gaze on Osmon just this weekend), many capsuleers feel that it will soon be time for James to set his sights on a loftier goal; the improvement of all New Eden. In his capacity as Supreme Protector, James is ideally situated to positively change Highsec, but the natures of Lowsec and Nullsec mean that it is much harder to have a similar effect. Clearly, James needs to work directly with CCP to improve the game as a whole in the only way possible; by joining the ranks of the CSM and meeting with the developers in person.

Why James would make an ideal CSM candidate:
  • One of the most widely recognised issues with the current CSM body and with many previous ones is the lack of communication. While some members are commendably loquacious, many appear to be completely inactive (most notably the two obvious highsec representatives, Issler Dainze and Kelduum Revaan). James 315 would most certainly not have this problem; he currently maintains an active presence ingame, as well as single-handedly running a blog with substantial updates twice daily.
  • James has an undeniable and varied knowledge of game mechanics. He spent several years in nullsec, has pulled off one of the largest scams in EVE's history (at the time) and has been one of the foremost creators of emergent gameplay this year. If nothing else, he will be able to spot exploits and loopholes quickly, as well as guide CCP into creating the best sandbox possible.
  • In specific, James has had extensive experience working with both miners and PvPers in highsec, as well as running highsec corporations and organising highsec fleet ops. James would make a perfect highsec candidate to replace the insubstantial representatives that highsec currently has.
    • [*] There's no doubt that James 315 is of charismatic and persuasive personality. In the last several months, he has convinced capsuleers to give him almost fifty billion ISK and destroy well over a hundred billion more in assets, using only words and the occasional bump from a Stabber Fleet Issue. James could be the lever we need to fix the CSM's other glaring problem; its impotence. If anyone can persuade CCP to do the right things, it's James.

    IMHO, Sansha would make a better high-sec CSM representative. He may be an NPC, but he has more name recognition than James 315 could ever hope for. Universal popularity is key to consolidating the high-sec vote, IMO.

    ^ Yeah but Sansha allows CCP to nerf them. That would always make the CSM weak.

    James 315 would make a fine representative for highsec players and can be trusted to do what is in their best interests - not merely what they believe is in their best interests.

    Thing is, the percentages of people voting are so skewed away from hisec that hisec is likely not electing its own representation anyway. Whoever proclaims to be representing them would actually have to be voted into office by residents of other space.

    Since the last time this topic was brought up, there was widespread support from pirates and nullsec-dwellers for James 315 as hisec representative, so he has a real chance of winning (unlike Sansha).

    Also, +1. (Also, I proposed this first; also this thread probably belongs in Jita Park)

    Someone that may have once run a ponzi scheme and nowadays shitposts and bumps miners and 'singlehandedly' runs a personal blog where he sperges biased playground level babble on subjects of no consequence has no relevance representing high-sec interests.

    Poasting in a Null Sec hates High Sec Thread yet again. (yawn).

    Really, there is nothing more interesting going on ????

    Too many blues in null makes them grumpy, so they like to hate on High-sec just to get a response.

    Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

    As far as I can tell, you're the first person to bring that up in this thread.

    Actually Lady Spank quite clearly beat me to calling this thread for what it is. Nonsensse.

    Well a nerf is still better than outright removal...

    It's not a cat fight. Spank is just summing up James' qualifications. Which is zero.

    Who? Is this a goon troll post?

    All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

    I'd do a better job than James. I was ranting about carebear entitlement before it was cool. If it was up to me there'd be no level 4 missions in hi sec and only veld in the belts.

    EDIT: I'd also undo the titan nerf, torp nerf, and nano nerf if possible.

    Things are only impossible until they are not.

    How about shiny players beat Sansha oh so easily, surely we don't want that happening to CSM?
