Which CSM rep would that be?

I remember this as well. Don't remember her name.

Edit: I may have been wrong. I may have been thinking of Ankhesentapemkah. Don't know anything about "harassment" in her case, though.

Well considering this one was about exploration, the winter exp should be about eh...salvaging?Lol
Seriously i would like an art focused expansion, and by that i mean kewler ships, maybe redesign some T2 ships like with the stealthbombers, sure you can toss in a few ballance changes and i'm happy.
(this is very unlikely but devs should REALLY focus more on art changes and such, the current impression is that it feels quite neglected, even ignored, sure they have V3 but that lacks the "OMG that looks so cool" factor that a ship redesign like the bombers does Lol)

on a less bittervet note,

Umm.. Black Ops? You know? Those Battleships with less hitpoints than a tier 2 Battle cruiser but three out of four combat bonuses?

Yea, about that.

There will be massive iteration of even more massive exploration expansion, there will be two scanner waves upon jumping in system horizontal and vertical to deepen the experience.

beside hurricane and hurricane hurricane there will be sleip hurricane and claymore hurricane. Some more mini ship will become caldari.

there is also possibility that ship with hurricane hull will be released.

Not going to happen.
I have read about the real life harassment that followed one of the previous champions of high sec that managed to get onto a previous CSM. (had to pull down her website, affected her personal life)

I am aware of the circumstances related to this individual, as I served with her. I don't think your concerns are warranted.

Quote:
I am not talking about some conspiracy to keep me off the CSM. Even CCP is not that Machiavellian.
I just know that I will speak out against the injustices being done to high sec some time in the future, and will get banned for it, and that will likely be soon.

You may recall that I was thinking of quitting EVE when I ran and was elected the first time. I used my first campaign as a way to say some things I felt needed saying. Perhaps you should consider doing the same?

Quote:
Why would I want to endure all the ridicule, trolling, and ostracization that would occur from fighting against the CSM null sec cartel power bloc, plus any CCP employees who share their views on the direction of the game.

This doesn't happen. Friendly trolling and mockery, sure, but nothing mean-spirited.

Quote:
1. Total in-game asset freeze of not only any CSM individuals, and all their accounts, including a period up to 6 months after they leave the CSM.

CSM members are closely monitored and audited by Internal Affairs. I fear your concerns are overblown, but would love to see you make the argument.

I doubt you will get all your wishes, but then, the perfect is the enemy of the good. By raising the issue, you may be able to change the status-quo in a direction you prefer.

tl/dr: Talk is cheap, Dinsdale. Have the courage of your convictions and run for CSM9. You might be surprised at how many people would vote for you.

Trebor, not going to go into details, but I have had a exchange with someone you know who thinks I should run.
I gave that person my reasons for not running, they gave some strong reasons why I should.
I am thinking hard about it the pros and cons of any political move by me after that exchange.

But at the moment, I still feel the "meta-game" of Eve, which is far more interesting than the game itself, is rigged and lists far too heavily towards the null sec cartel interests, and no matter what I say or do, the momentum is such that high sec will be wiped out soon enough...

I should rephrase that. "Wiping out" is too much hyperbole.

High sec will always exist to some degree in Eve. But the ability to earn a "decent living" as a high sec player will be eradicated, as the cartels force CCP to move more and more wealth generation potential from high sec to null sec..(and not just high sec. The wormhole guys are in for a huge fight as null sec lobbies CCP to crush T3 ship capabilities, hammering demand for T3's and all T3 material.)

Sorry, I have learned long ago not to get into any discussion with you.

But I will leave you with this tidbit: I am sure you can spin the move of minimum 20% of the wealth generation in ice mining from high sec to null sec as something that was good for high sec casual ice miners.
Or when trit and pyerite prices dropped, when the null sec ore belts were buffed, that was also good for high sec miners.

Making highsec icebelts deplete and thus not able to sustain 100% of demand is probably the best thing that ever happened to them. An infinite resource was never a good idea, particularly one that could so easily be afked.
The effect on wealth generation may well be hurting some peoples pockets, but that will hopefully push them into conflict for the ce, we're already seeing casuals moaning about multiboxers and fleet operations taking all the ice, it won't be long before wars get started and/ or mercs hired to drive the competition out so that the ice can be claimed.

The only probable effect from making the low end minerals more readily available in nullsec has been to potentially make nullsec slightly less dependent on highsec for it's raw materials, although I would hazard a guess that exports of low ends to nullsec have seen very little change from the buff, with the recent large scale conflicts in null, they may well have increased by a minor amount.

Then you have to Change the Ore Prospecting Array sites, too. I mean, they are also infinite and, to be honest, at least semi-AFK doable.

A time ago CCP said, they want the differnt zones to be dependent. What are the doing? Exact the opposite. A few Trit here, some Pyer ther. "What? You are short on Mexa? Calm down, we will find a solution." A few expansions more and 0.0 needs no imports from Highsec. And prices of Lowend-Minerals will fall under the marks bevor Dronepoo-nerf. And then you can remove all belts in Highsec definitely.

If CCP wants a really addiction, why not remove all Lowendminerals from 0.0? I know, then you have to Import. How terribly would this be.
But Highsec has to Import the Highends, too. Oh, you don´t care about it. I see.

All for the Nullbears. Down with Highsec.

...because highsec miners have had it so rough for so long that they need more buffing, right?

Please do run for CSM9 Dinsdale. Xenuria needs some competition.

They simply don´t deserve another nerf. Highsec-Mining is the bottom of income. (Expect maybe Level 1 Mission and Highsec-Beltratting).
