CSM Campaigns

Thank you for taking the time to answer what was supposed to be a contentious question in as diplomatic a fashion as possible.

You have my vote.

Very much appreciated the opportunity to visit with Lanctharus and the Cap Stable team for this interview. You guys are doing a great thing for the community in hosting and conducting these interviews. Thank you for your time and this opportunity!

Hey hey space chikun, or is it jolanai, the founder of Wormbro... So great to have one of our earliest Fweddit members and also a fellow wormholer visiting the campaign thread.

So eager and young
With enthusiasm to spare
Stupidly running for CSM
Because of his care

Proc will never permit
A wormhole to be stabilized
His plan for wspace
Will be realized

When there's no local
And it's time for an eviction
Count on him to go Bhaals deep
With perfect conviction

This is his mission
To get your votes this year
And carry on to iceland
To respresnt with no fear!

With all the discussion on K162's and signature/overlay delay, I took a moment to write out my thoughts regarding the subject:

After receiving a few requests, including a very long and well written evemail today about the issue, I’ve decided to take a few minutes out of the day to write an article on CCP Fozzie’s threadnaught regarding K162 signature/overlay delay. For those unaware, CCP Fozzie recently proposed an idea in the Wormholes sub-forum to discuss the idea’s merits and viability:

“The potential change would be to delay the appearance of the signature beacon when K162 dungeons spawn. This would prevent the dungeon from appearing on probe scans or the Sensor Overlay for up to a few minutes.” – CCP Fozzie

To provide some context, it is accepted that this began when CCP Greyscale and Team Five 0 introduced the Sensor Overlay with the Odyssey expansion to make scanning and exploration “more organically accessible.” The problem with this introduction was that this impacted how wormhole residents operated within our communities, as this now would indicate to players when a new signature populated into a solar system, which would warn them of visitors and potential aggressors in their area.

With this implementation, gone were the days of maintaining probes in system and requiring the vigilance of activity to stay “safe”, and began the era of “free intel” and an easier mode in wormhole space. Obviously, some liked this change, as it made gameplay easier, as some could relax their guard, simplify directional pinpointing, and gain free system-wide intel. Many disliked this change as it reduced chances of catching unvigilant pilots, surprise attacks, and unbalanced the odds in favor of the defender.

As this issue has been discussed a number of times, and was even brought up to CCP Fozzie at the recent wormhole townhall meeting, Fozzie clearly took the opportunity to address this issue and allow for community discussion. With his proposal however, the problem went from one side of unbalanced to the completely other side, and would now favor the aggressor, allowing them the opportunity to capitalize on their one-sided timer to seed unnoticed, surprise attack with relative ease, and destroyed any benefit from being vigilant in one’s solar system.

Through the 36 pages, there is quite a few ideas, and most of them lead to the overall issue being pointed out with the sensor overlay, and that active probing should remain unchanged, creating a benefit to vigilance and active scanning. From a CSM9 candidate perspective, I believe that since a wormhole is a signature, that it should always be probe-able from the moment it is active. There should be no delay in the signature appearing in system, once the K162 opens allowing for it to instantly be probe-able. If they wish to delay the sensor overlay or remove the sensor overlay, I don’t think that it would harm wormholes overall. CCP Fozzie has since clarified and reassured the community that:

“Nothing on this scale would be in the cards for the summer expansion, we’re not going to start changing things on this scale without giving them the discussion and feedback time they deserve.” – CCP Fozzie

It is important to note the importance of CCP Fozzie actually taking the time to open discussion of ideas before they are implemented as opposed to us needing to shoot a monument. For anyone interested in voicing their opinion, beating the horse some more, or just getting into the discussion, please feel free to join here.

Proc is a fantastic troll, and very outspoken, but never let that blind you to his ability to take things seriously. If ever there was a shirt to describe him, it would be a "Many faces of Proc".

Considering I have the pleasure of hearing him talk on a pretty regular basis with people he has no problem trolling (his own corp members), there isn't a single moment's hesitation in my vote going to him. It would be pretty telling if his own corp wasn't here to support him, but as any who are interested can see, that is clearly not the case.

Proc for CSM

Agreed with last few posts entirely.

Although I think there was a very VERY close line to RL involvement here to the point of me actually not wanting to listen anymore to that SoundCloud there was something far more sinister going on after..........

Ripard Teg does have the right to his opinion.

Ripard Teg does have the right to express his opinion.

Ripard Teg DOES NOT have the right to leverage his position to get his own way on a topic.

Ripard Teg DOES NOT have the right to turn the game I love playing into ponies with afterburners.

CCP should NOT have responded so tight on the backend of that blog.

Ripard Teg should feel free to go play WoW and realise a vast majority of us joined this game because of most of the things he spends the majority of his time complaining about and trying to fix.

This is my personal opinion although kudos to Proc for being the first CSM candidate with the cojones to speak his mind rather than play to the voting crowd. Bravo!

Fair Enough. On-On then...
