Good luck trying to get that passed new powers sa, Alot of players have commited time to lvling skills up be hard to increase them faster. Best you can hope for is to get +3-5 learning implants, learn how to remap real well. Then go to bed praying every night CCP gives away more free gift remaps.

I honestly would just try to go for more free remaps before trying to get jump clones able to hold unique remaps.

I'll be running for Chairman again but I won't have any serious threads up until the candidacy period finishes. Amusingly, the release of the minutes didn't see much action itt, so I assume you all loved them!


By this I'd say you aren't even reading the forums.

Not going to bother stating your positions until after the candidacy period FINISHES? Well glad to see you taking this all very seriously.

Hey, trolling and raw hysteria are cool, he makes excellent points about my lack of popcorn (I must get some).

I'm not a fan of popcorn (working in a movie theater will do that to you), so I shall break out hard pretzels and cheap sodas.

This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

Someday, this signature may save my life.

By this I'd say you aren't even reading the CSM election procedures.

There are multiple stages. First, you submit paperwork to CCP. They must vet you. Than they announce a list of candidates to be placed on the ballot. Those candidates must than gain the 100 signatures needed to become finalized candidates. After the final list of candidates is published, there is than another 7 days before voting begins.

This gives Mittens 3 weeks to campaign after the candidacy period but before polls close.

Well glad to see you taking your trolling very seriously.

What is your stance on Lyris' independent bid for a CSM seat?

Ahhh yes I was curious about this as well. I keep hearing reports the strat this year was for Goons not to split but to rally behind Mittens alone. Lyris' campaign is, well, interesting to say the least. Roll And even though I take everything a Goon says with a grain of salt I figure its just better to ask the man himself instead of speculating....

Mittens, do you foresee a threat to the Chairman's seat that would require you to rally the whole bloc to your side instead of splitting and grabbing two travelling seats like before? Or simply enjoy breaking some records? Twisted

I can tell you straight up that Lyris poses no threat to The Mittani's re-election. I'm more curious of what his opinion of it is. If Lyris gets elected, it wont be on goon votes.

Naaahh, I know Lyris isn't a threat to The Mittani. I meant threat from a non-Goon.

With the reduced seats having multiple goons might be wierd. Was thinking it would be fun to vote in goons across the board for all 7 seats. Wonder if there is enough beer in iceland for CCP to handle that.

Realtalk: I got elected to chair with only 1750 GSF votes in CSM6; the rest of my 5365 votes came from non-GSF sources, likely due to name recognition and being something of a name. When CSM6 was elected, a huge chunk of the playerbase thought the CSM was a waste of time and powerless. After my tenure as Chair, most of the screeching has changed tone to 'CSM has too much power', so I suspect that people who appreciate what we've done will vote even harder for me in CSM7.

tl;dr is basically guessing how many votes I can actually muster from the non-GSF public; I'd like to get an impressive number above 5365 in order to demonstrate an outright mandate over and beyond my previous 'more votes than anyone in the csm's history' showing.

Re: Lyris, there are always independent goon candidates, they just don't have the formal backing of Goonfleet.com and don't aim for goon votes. I don't think it's actually necessary to stack the council with GSF voices, since I'm something of a persuasive guy, the CSM doesn't 'vote', and most null reps view the game through a similar lens.

If you say so. You've done quite well for yourself, no question.

The real question is whether you are the best person to lead the CSM forward. While you clearly have your strengths, other options should be considered.

I do. Thank you very much for noticing. Twisted

I interpreted his comments as waiting for serious threads after the "final list of candidates" is published. Perhaps you are right that he meant after the candidates are vetted, but that's not an obvious way to read that.

I think my observation is still valid. Its a common tactic in "front-runners" to shut down communication and debate, and I don't think we should let that happen.

I have three votes. What is the best way to spend them to ensure the next CSM is as good as this one?

Vote for me. More votes = more mandate = more power.

vOv

ofc, every candidate will tell you to vote for them, so make up your own mind.

Hell I'm a former BOB-*** and I'm voting for mittani. Only things I think really need fixing have already been stated a billion times over. Just gotta be sure to keep CCP going the way they are going instead of meandering back onto their road to oblivion via barbies and the like and all will be swell. Don't care bout what the goons do in nullsec what the CSM has been doing for eve is whats important.

EDIT: This may have already been asked but reading this whole thread would make my eyes hurt. I'm not really sure blasters need any more buffing. They are pretty nasty with all the Null changes. I do on the other hand think railguns still suck. Do we know if they are getting specific buffs or will it continue as changes to hybrids overall?
