Care to elaborate what you mean by those platforms you put down? like what are you actually going to do.
Also specifically i'd be expecting a wall of text regarding the last platform.

Why vote blue?

Also tell us a bit more about yourself - what is your history in the game, how did you settle on your current playstyle. What makes you happy, what frustrates you about the current state of the game, etc.

You know guys, maybe we should just all vote for the newest players with the wackiest ideas and see what happens.

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

Maintain the integrity of our sandbox means that CCP should be breaking the 4th wall as little as possible. I think Somergate demonstrated pretty well how if CCP gets involved too much with player run organizations especially ones that are designed to make money off of the game things can go wrong.

Fairly representing each member of our society means that I'll present every issue to CCP no matter who it comes from or what they do. I'm here to advocate on your behalf, not push my own agenda. I specialize in other areas over some so hopefully i'm able to communicate that effectively.

I suppose basically I'd like to see a level playing field for every capsuleer after they pass a certain age or skillpoint level. Namely I believe that players in NPC corps have an unfair advantage on player run corps because they are not subject to the same mechanics as virtually every other player in the game. NPC corps encourage isolation and I think breed this kind of 'I should be left alone' mentality which I think doesn't belong in EVE.

I started by making markets out in nullsec with Tribal Band, trained up to a jump freighter and just started to make runs.

I saw the writing on the wall and started to look at other options so I was already gone by the time Tribal Band disbanded.

First place I went to was THORN syndicate while they were in BL. I didn't really mesh with the culture so I moved around, spent some time in wormholes, and ended up where I am now, which is Failed Diplomacy.

I settled on hisec pvp because to me it is the most simplified version of pvp. I suppose that makes it pure in my eyes when compared to nullsec blobbing and even losec/FW. I take it that I'm doing the right thing when people complain in local about how all I do is station camp. I can feel the jealousy that people have when we can pretty much go anywhere and do anything.

What makes me happy about the game is that I think its moving in the right direction. I can see CCP start to build a foundation on these new deployable structures that I think will end up serving as the basis for sov changes. The game is still dynamic and entertaining for me.

What's frustrating about the game right now is that the playing field isn't level for all players. There's a big distinction between those in NPC corps and those in player run organizations because they are not subject to the same basic mechanics. I'm not advocating to force every player into a corp but it is a well known fact that NPC corps are used as protection against wardecs to a dizzying amount. Wardeccable NPC corps would level the playing field and I think ultimately encourage more player interaction and co-operation. The implementation of that is up for debate so i'm open to any feedback on the idea.

nice job on the portrait.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Forcing boosters on grid is fine with me.

See my previous posts in this thread, I explain in some detail how I think the current wardeccing mechanics are broken

Bumping is a valid game mechanic. Some prudent piloting and non-afkness on behalf of the miner is needed if they want to avoid it.

Is there a point of contention you have with anything I'd like to see happen in the game?

Honestly my top pick would be a CEO of a Hisec merc corp/alliance with proven understanding of hisec/wardeccing/asshattery mechanics (and personal killboard of unquestionable taste and panache to match)....We have lots of null reps on the CSM, hisec warfare is sorely underrepresented and to that end needs a STRONG voice with all their sh!te wired tight.

I could see many getting behind a Cannibal Kane, Lord Razpataz/Sir Tearz, Adriel Malakai or the like, but not someone of 20 years RL age, relatively young toon & 'meh' killboard....doing battle with the 'nerf hisec' crowd at CCP and the nullsec CSM members making it all about nullsec....

Sorry, -1.
