A vote for Malcanis is a vote for Bacon then Big smile

Also, your thread seems to have derailed in to topic about booze and bacon. Not a bad thing!

Well all the directly EVE related topics seem to have been covered, so now I can address issues relevant to EVE players.

I hereby declare Malc's cocktail bar and obscene limerick emporium open!

There was a young lady of Venus
Who asked to see the barman's dog, Enis
He said "Mind you don't trip"
And mixed her a Brandy Egg Flip
That inquisitive young lady of Venus!

Thanks Temba, I remember our conversation within and around the "Hisec manifesto" thread and I'm glad you kept playing.

Combining whisky and bacon is also something that should be done.

(I am glad that you know what good drinks are, and I agree that tequila is only useful for clearing out plumbing.)

Confirming that CCP have accepted my candidacy apllication.

Much thanks to you all for your support so far.

I've only had a few bourbons that aren't Jack Daniels. Sadly whiskey doesn't agree with me these days (I can drink one glass and get away with it, but who the hell can only drink one glass?), but back in my proper whisky drinking days, I liked a good peaty Islay like Lagavullein. And of course The Macallan, which is the whiskey a gentleman should drink. There's a lot to be said for Bushmills also.

You've redeemed yourself in my eyes. Jack is ****, though. Gentleman Jack is quite good.

Gentleman Jack isn't bad, but you can have a bottle of The Glenlivet 12yo or a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label for the same price. The Glenlivet blows Gentleman Jack out of the cask.

Congrats on being official Malcanis.

Confirming this. I was simply pointing out that Jack is **** but they can do better.

Thanks Anunzi. I'll need it, I think.

I don't know whether I'm more nervous about the possibility of losing or the possibility of winning... What?

I can understand that. However, I have every confidence in your ability to see it through, win or lose.

I do think that you will get elected, you just have to look at this thread and the amount of people pledging their support to you via the well known medium of EvE-O forum signatures to see that you have a lot of support within this community.

It is a pretty challenging position, good to see that you understand that.

Just wanted to drop by and note my support and thank you for all the contributions you've already made. Your ideas have made EVE a better game.

Like Hans, you've already had a big impact, perhaps even more so than Hans since he credits you for inspiring and informing a lot of his work. Hope to see more in the future, whatever the outcome of the election.

The only end-game content in EVE Online is the crap that makes you rage quit.

Hans doesn't owe me anything. Ideas are cheap; hard work is what counts.

If I get elected you'll probably see very little of my ~ideas~ enacted, but I hope that I'll be able to work effectively to deliver what's good for EVE.

@Malcanis

Glad to see your platform is as sensible as your posting. My only question is what would you do to try and improve lowsec (specifically non-FW, CCP seems to forget about us) beyond the extensions of your Manifest? More industrialists trying to run the gates is good, but I would rather be able to describe where I live as something other than "Nullsec without bubbles, but gate guns".

Regardless, I wish you luck sir. +1


Lo-sec is a conundrum, I freely admit. When you say "improve", what exactly do you mean by "improve"? "Improve for whom"? Defining the problem is the first step in constructing the solution. I feel that I have a fairly clear idea of what sov 0.0 should look like, but I freely confess that I'm not as sure about what kind of lo-sec we should be working towards.

At the moment, lo-sec is a haven for small independent corps, and it's a ghetto. I can easily think of quite a few ideas to raise it up from ghetto status, but by the very act of making the space better, there's a danger to that "small corp haven" status. CCP did well to make Faction Warfare more attractive, and that has surely increased both the PvP activity and the economic activity in lo-sec. Would you like more of that?


More traffic is good, as FW has taught us, but you hit the nail on the head. Make lowsec too much better and why bother with null?
I guess I would like it better if we had something worth coming to (non-FW) lowsec to do or see, something beyond taking a shortcut. There was an old idea trotted out awhile back to allow pirates to corrupt a system, and anti-pirates, or even a rival pirate group, could reverse this trend and "purify" the system. Not that it would allow enough people to turn Rancer into Yulai, but perhaps with enough corruption, pirates would be able to temporarily disable or redirect gate guns. Or gain access to hidden stargates, run drugs for a new breed of NPC agents, or something like that. I've always seen lowsec as the murky underworld of EVE, and I hope some day it reflects that. Now I know you can't exactly walk up to CCP and tell them what to do, but maybe you can help plant a seed that will someday transform the bastard space of lowsec into something much more interesting and dynamic than gatecamps and ganking noobs in belts.

Lol Before I joined this game, I truly believed that lowsec... the home of pirates and the lawless would be where all kinds of illegal activities and products would be found.

Perhaps... it just isn't PC. What a shame.

See back around page 9 IIRC.

Basically:

1) Return the bottleneck material status to the R64s
2) Make each racial T2 ship/weapon line associated with one of the R64s
3) Rework the distribution of the R64s so each is mostly concentrated in one quadrant of the nullsec map, with a sprinkling in the others and in lo-sec to keep things lively

The number of R64s and the map-wide distribution will make it impractical to completely monopolise bottleneck T2 material as it is now, so base prices will cap the value of the "money moons" at the 'nice to have' level, not the "if you don't have any then you're a poor and can get out" level.
