Yeah, at least you know Snot Shot still wants to suck your ****

Just to clarify one point -- there has never been, nor will there ever be an "official Pandemic Legion" candidate for CSM.

Everyone stands on their own merits, and while Agmar's points about last 3 months of activity are probably valid -- I'm pretty sure everyone in EVE is smart enough to realize that there are issues worth representing which will benefit from experience gained over years of leading large fleets in 0.0 warfare. And that's experience Sort probably has over every other candidate this year.

While I'm personally supporting everyone, and no one -- I think it's appropriate to give everyone a chance to put their views forward in the context of their experience so far.

I was under Sort Dragons horrible regime over in NC and bitched wildly when he was let into PL. Since then I was pleased to see he never gained the sort of position in PL that he had presided over in NC. From snooping in on TS channels to hear what people were saying about him to generic online misogyny disguised as bravado with the emphasis on impressing any female voice on teamspeak by posturing as some internet space lord alpha. The drama with Wicked Princess was beyond ridiculous and serves as an example. Sort, you're going to take that as a personal insult but that's generally the perception held by the people close to me in the game who experienced this.

Over the course of a year I've changed my mind somewhat, he has credibility in PL aside from being completely inactive, and whilst I do actually like Sort now, not just as a capsuleer, but as a decent guy to have a bit of a chat with.. and I enjoyed being on fleets that he's run in the past including 2 RA titan kills and several dumpsterings of AAA; I don't think in good conscience I could vote to give him a platform to represent my opinions, or risk allowing him to be in a position where he can freely behave like that again with PL associated with his name. I thought your interview on the zebra radio thing was decent.

I wont be voting for you, but I do think you've the credentials for the job.

Best of luck to you and all the other candidates.


I've never really posted here before, having a go at using all the emoticons.

First off Thanks for the post and the questions, below I will do my best to answer your questions.

1) A) I do not 100% think Modular pos's are the answer to the problems at hand with starbases I think alot of people would like to think it the answer as ccp has suggested this and it really intrigued alot of people. To change anything with pos's means a complete overhaul of the game it would be the biggest change the game ever made even bigger then the sov work in dominion. I do not believe any game company should band-aid fix a problem in its game just to have to come back later and fix the issue again, I personally am happy to wait for ccp to come to the csm and the players with ideas they have and for us as csm to work with them on what could possible work and what we believe will not. I do not at all support ccp making a short hotfix to starbases no matter the change. If however they turn their focus completely to starbases I would do my best to work with them to fix the current problems in the mechanic.

2) A) Trying to change passive cloaking I do not support I believe its a valid tactic for a defender and some one attacking, trying to change it would be just making the game easier for a small group and right now I like the difficulty of the game is right where it needs to be in that area.

3) A) Ring mining is an interesting topic and I would love to see it in game however the time line for that I am sure is planned out and to make sure that it doesn't become such an influential money maker in 0.0 and low sec like moon mining did I am sure ccp want to take their time before introducing it. Moon mining personally for me I think is great it helps my corp make a fair amount of money and my alliance too. For the general game populace I do believe the distribution of wealth through moons and where they are located is broken and any way that ccp can improve this would be great.

4) A) The reason people are asking for a delayed local is because roaming in eve is unfortunately not as profitable as it was before for hunting people in different areas in the game, it is too easy for people to just safe up and wait for people to leave. I believe it could have its positives and negatives to it but no matter what they change with regards to local I am sure that is not the only problem with roaming out there.

5) A) Each of these topics you are asking about are not simple changes these are massive overhauls that take time. Missions in high sec have slowly gotten better over time some parts have not been changed and need working on. But it is still a simple fact that some one in empire can still make vast amounts of isk doing missions in high sec continuously for hours on end with little to no risk, so yes I believe missions do need a work on but I believe they should be made harder so people cannot so simply make huge amounts of isk for no risk.

6) A) Incursions like all other parts of the game that have been introduced in the past need there time in the sun. Each expansion ccp releases with new content or features needs its stress test and a chance for ccp to gather data on. I do not believe incursions have reached that point yet and need to be looked at yet in comparison to other parts of the game that have alot more problems with them and need closer attention first.

7) A) I think a logi only screen could be good sure but I think specially for pvp this would take the fun out of trying and training to be the best logi pilot you can. Being a logistic pilot and a good one at that puts you in a select group of people who keep people from dying in eve, some pilots like to fly with a simplified setup and some like flying with a big setup with lots of information coming in. I do not think you would be able to find a system or a logi screen that would work for all logi pilots in eve or even half the pilots in eve the thing that makes logi pilots special is they do it there way I think trying to give them a logi screen would take that away from them. However it may work and if ccp came with an idea I would sure look at it and from my experience flying logistics I would help them the best I could.

8) A) This is one thing I could defiantly get behind. If there is possibly a way to make this work even how you described it then yes I would defiantly want it to happen. Maybe something like how sentry carriers work where even though you aren't targeting your drones are assigned so they get you on kill mails, maybe they could make this work with whoever you rep you are linked to the killmails of those people who knows?

What is your stance on AFK skill training?

Let me ask you this are you going to be any different from the risk averse Führer's Mittens, Shadoo, or will you simpley slurp on there dingaling like every other puppet?

I.e. what ever horse turd excuse they want to make about Sov being THEE reason for why null sec is so stagnant and that no further large scale bloc wars are willing to be waged. Yes its a factor, but not THEE Reason for the dyer situation null sec has been in content wise/oppertunity wise, real objective wise for a fair while now.
Will you rise above this nonscence and act on the eve communitys behalf, influencing the game for the good of the many, rather than the current state of influencing, minipulating it so the rmt/botting fiasco can continue unharmed in peice.
Do you not think the good of many, to influence the game for its Primary purpose "FUN", should not be out weighed by the exploits/benifits of the few for their RL & ingame wallets?
That is currently what is happening, you being in a better position than many to confirm what every person with a brain knows.
* WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO? If your not willing to act on the eve communities behalf then there would be no reason for you to join csm,would be a waste of your time,my time,everybodies time. . . except those chosen few if you like,If you are to act upon the imbalace then there is a reason for you to be there!

Same question, valid question whom ever posts it, could be a one day alt and it would still have its validity to be answered, not going to run any candidate through the mud, but I think this is a genuine question about one of the biggest issues we currently have, and for me and I'm sure many alike will mean the difference of what could be achieved through you.

Just what the CSM needs another GOON / PL stooge with pre-conceived agenda's for there alliance's

Sort still hasn't answered validly any of the points brought up by his own alliance mates re: inactivity.

A PL has-been becoming interested in the game at a time when you want something is a poor ploy that the eve community has been fooled by twice already (Seleene and Mazzillu). Thanks for your interest, and best of luck if you find enough plebeians that will vote for you, but you have not done anything in the past two years at your alliance's own admission.


If this was 2008, I'm sure your case would be much more compelling. But, that was before Seleene and Mazzillu... and that was back when you played.

Good man
