x up if you would support him.

If you do not, please post a thread voicing your concerns, and perhaps he could address them.


So you ask for a yes/no vote in the title, but you only accept yes votes? A more appropriate title would probably be 'vote here if you support erotica1 for csm'

I understand that you're here to contribute to emergent gameplay with your comedic routine. And I cannot thank you enough for that. Without content creators like you and Erotica 1, EVE would be in sad shape.

Thank you, Xavier, for your contributions. And thank you Erotica 1.

I could not support Erotica for CSM.

Watching the events in the last few days demonstrated that he is petty and mean spirited.

Not to mention an attention hog and drama queen.

In my experience, people like that don't make cooperative environments easy to construct.

I'm voting Erotica1 for CSM and I will tell you why:

1) I've been scammed once, back at 2006;

2) I've been ganked in my mission ship once, back at 2007;

3) My Corp was stolen by an AWOXer once, back at 2008;

4) I was betrayed by some alliance director, got my Corp out of said alliance and set to RED in less than 30 minutes with all our stuff 14 jumps from the nearest high sec, that happened once as well, back at 2009;

5) I lost a huge amount of isk trying to manipulate the market on Jita, once, back at 2009; and

6) I love this game just because all of the above, no matter how much my therapist tell me to avoid it, I normally rage quit each year but I keep coming back.Oops

If EVE was another Hello Kitty Online like the hundreds we can see on the market for these last 10 years I would never come back and I feel that Erotica1 have the talent to help CCP in keeping EVE as it is.

If Erotica 1 posts something of substance other than MEMEMEMEMEMEME and Bonus Room, maybe. I'm not going to hunt it down though, since you are "running for election" I'm guessing you will be posting your ideas on how to improve this game without roleplay or bonus room slants.

Yeah my first corp was AWOXed back when I was a mission carebear and it opened my eyes to the potential of EVE.

The AWOXer was a mercenary who took a contract, 250m ISK to blow up a mark's Navy Raven, and joined our corp because that was where the mark was. I wasn't even online but everyone was talking about it when I logged in next.

Had that not happened, I'd probably have trained into Incursions, run a few, then quit the game. Instead I'm still playing well over a year later, because stuff like that does not happen in other games.

Still waiting for someone to catch me out badly with a scam or ambush. Hasn't happened yet, but when it does, I know I'll remember it, unlike all the long forgotten DED complex runs. And if it's an Australian that does it, I'll buy them a beer IRL sometime.

Ero has posted to state support for my idea (see signature now that they work again) for a new form of hybrid PVP/PVE content that's somewhat like a scaled down live event.

Yeah... there's that part of being CSM where negatively viewed conduct just explodes into a ****-storm. That might be a decent reason to pull out while you can.

Yes you are correct, 100%. I intended to post something right about now, but I logged in and chatted for hours instead. LOL

I've also stated that I may retire from isk doubling and bonus rounds all together upon being elected, but I haven't decided. It might be what it takes to sway the holdouts. But many are asking me not to retire. So I don't know. I hope to have something up within the next couple days, the length of which Eve has not seen since the manifesto of James 315. Big smile

I was going to address this possible statement in the above future thread I mention. But since you already brought it up, let me answer that:

If I am elected to work to improve Eve for the broad community and make it a better game via my platform (sandbox/transparency), and isk doubling and bonus rounds are a no-go for CSM, then I don't care how much isk your crystal ball says I would make, I would drop all of that in a heartbeat to make a difference for the community.

I'll expand on that in a few days.

Until then,

Tschuss

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

My big problem with you, Erotica, is that all this time I've been picturing you as a girl. Though I can see that if we ripped that wig off your character......



.....I see it now.

Possibly the best thing that ever happened to EVE. If you've ever heard the old saw about "The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat," then you'll come to understand that this is the essence of the bonus room, distilled and concentrated. It's a place where the outcome is truly in your hands.

Interesting announcement. Who is the real Erotica1??

1) A low down dirty scammer who lures pilots into a web of ISK doubling and makes profit off of the hapless fools in Jita.

2) A philanthropist that is a genuine ISK doubler and offers a legitimate service...

3) An opportunist that has cleverly maneuvered himself to being the prime contact for ISK rinsing.

4) A political animal that has aspirations of being the next big thing and using the CSM to achieve fame/notoriety?

5) A genuine guy who is trying to make EVE online a better place and is enjoying his role play tremendously too!

6) A James315 alt.........

Whatever the definition of the real Erotica1 I enjoy the countless threads and I do like to watch in Jita the outbreaks of verbose jousting.

Good luck to you .

I will watch the developing plot with interest - the Meta is too strong to resist!

Erotica 1 is an attention junkie (Replace with the Whor*) - I'm pretty sure Erotica 1 is going to use any CSM insights for personal profit.
And no I've never played any of Erotica 1 stupid games.

Not picking his side,
but your argument is lousy.

Politicians are corrupt as hell and lie straight to your face, yet they get voted.
