CSM Campaigns

This man inspired me to get into cov ops. An hero

Playing since 2006 here and I agree with your statements about NPE. We NEED new players, that is a fact. The thing that most Vets don't realize, yet, is that we WANT new players as much as CCP.

I'm voting and supporting you even if you only focus on NPE for the entire duration of the CSM.

I have to admit, while some of my colleagues think you maybe running on the "I'm famous" platform, and you don't quite has the whole 10 years of bitter vet experience, your interview and enthusiasm swayed us.

I haven't heard a person with your type of enthusiasm in a while. It's not reckless excitement, you do have a focus. I think ccp and the community could use a person like you.

Good luck in the election.

This is a good point and I don't think it would take much to help make gameplay more immersive and cinematic. There should be, for instance some changes to the DEFAULT overview to make it more obvious who and what lands on grid without requiring the memorization of 250+ ship names.

I also think there could be a window, or a targeting UI default, that shows your currently selected or targeted item up close. A window in a window. That way while you can stay zoomed out for tactical awareness, this window will show you what your target looks like and what is generally happening to it. You essentially then are interacting with SHIPS and not BRACKETS AND CROSSES. This would be resource intensive potentially but all client side and optional.

hmm , I really dont know if you have enough experience and knowledge to run for CSM ..., but you certainly have enthusiasm and this game really needs someone who is not bitter about it , so you probably will have one of my votes
good luck

This will be the very first message that I leave on these forums.

Dear Mister Chance - In real life, I am a young man struck with an unfortunate medical issue that cannot be cured or overcome, and throughout my life this has caused me a fair amount of grief and depression. Spending an awful lot of time alone at home in between of hospital visits, I was constantly bored with life, and I found it really hard to meet people and make friends.

So I browsed the inter-webs for a game of social nature. EVE online was mentioned frequently as not only a social game, but as a whole world separate to the real one we all live in where the players controlled their own fate. Intrigued by the idea of it all, but far from convinced that the EVE universe was all that it made itself out to be, I went onto YouTube to do further investigation. That's where you come in!

I quickly came across your videos and I thought they were hilarious. I watched every single one of them, even though I sometimes barely understood what was going on since my knowledge of the game was non-existent, and I was thoroughly amused. Seeing what crazy adventures you were able to have in the game and the interactions you had with other players (or customers!) was what convinced me to download the game and throw myself into it. This was about two months ago now.

I am still very much a newbie. I learn tons of new things every day. And I make a lot of mistakes. However, since I started playing the game, I feel an awful lot less bored with my life. I met great people to talk to, and I feel like the whole experiences has greatly affected my mood in a positive way. For the first time in many years, I got really "into" something. For that, I will be eternally grateful.

I will never be healthy. Nor will I ever have a "normal" life. But at least, thanks to you, I have a chance to be happy.
You have my vote, and the first kill I get in my Purifier that I just purchased a few days ago will be dedicated in your honor.

How many hours per week do you plan on committing to the CSM if elected for the next year?

Hey, since you are kinda exploration focused and have some WH experience, I wanted to ask you couple things:
- Do you consider yourself a "wormhole candidate"?
- What are your views on the current state of wh pve, with lower-classes on one side and c5/6 capital escalations on the other?
- Whats the best way to get more people living and flying in wormholes? What are the biggest hurdles atm?
- Any thoughts on T3 rebalance?

Then wouldn't a candidate who's been around longer, who's had time to experience EVE at all it's edges be a more acceptable candidate for CSMX? You don't want to stick your head in SOV then a person who understand SOV and Exploration would be a better choice.

An experienced EVE player will always be a better choice when it comes to things like this, because they have a better idea of the Balance that it is. NPE, High to Null and W-space. I personally do not want a FOTM Candidate that only wants to be CSM because he see a problem with a small facet of his time in EVE. When a player who has had time to look at EVE in a grander picture can see the large problems far better.

I understand that you like the game. But I do not think you should be voted into CSM due to this reason. Sorry, But good luck.

If you are seeking wormholers' vote you should go and talk to us more, have a chat with corbexx (the incumbent WH CSM rep), get on WH podcasts, talk to some WH groups, get the feel of the community, give them chance to be wooed by your enthusiasm.

^Those three things I asked are what we all care about very deeply. For example T3s are the backbone of our fleets and they will very likely be getting a rebalance pass during your potential CSM term, so you should have some idea what that should look like (ie. versus other ships, roles, etc.).
