Xenuria, please list your accomplishments related to Eve. Also, please list accomplishments in other areas that you believe are relevant to your candidacy.

Also, I'm not sure I understand the value of your concept of "majority rule". Prior to the formation of the CSM, it was widely believed (often incorrectly) that the key to making changes in Eve was to complain loudly and often about whatever issue bothered you. Of course, this complaining was done by a vocal minority, while the majority of players simply adapted to gameplay changes or, in some cases, found other games to play. Please explain how your idea of supporting whatever idea people are yelling about a) qualifies as majority rule and b) is any different from how player feedback was gathered pre-CSM.

The players have a stronger voice with the CSM. Before the CSM there was still a collection of data on part of CCP but it was acted on at CCP's discretion and not in the best interest of the players. I will approach my responsibilities as CSM with a "greatest amount of good for greatest amount of people" mentality. Issues will be focused on rather then sweeped away.

I do not feel that accomplishments in eve have any effect on my ability to lead or work with others collaboratively. If you are voting for whoever has the most space cash or rare ships then you are doing it wrong.

I don't care how much money or assets you have. You fail to understand what an accomplishment is and clearly are unsuitable to represent any part of the player base.

Well I think it is clear who will be getting elected.

This is me



Yeah perfectly clear and it won't be you, though I almost wish it would happen just so The_Mittani could troll you IRL.

You seriously think your lame ass picture might encourage people to vote for you?

What it comes down to is this, you are a whinny little punk who does not get the game. If you had your way you'd change the game into a theme park micro-transaction abomination where success could be purchased with a credit card which is somewhat ironic since based on your picture you aren't likely to have the financial success to compete even under those circumstances.

Also do you really think there is enough of a constituency in this game that wants space-barbies prioritized over space-ships? Did you miss the whole Incarna debacle and the giant **** storm that was kicked up by the Fearless leak?

Did you miss the fact that the riots and protests (as well as subscription cancellations) took place after the Incarna release and the Fearless leak. Are you really one of those idiots who thought all the drama was because the Monocle was overpriced?

You're support for buying skill points alone should be sufficient for torpedoing your candidacy.

You don't get this game and quite frankly you should probably have cut your losses long ago and moved to wow or second life or some other crap game.

Oh wait a minute, you're just butt hurt over the refocusing on spaceships because it means resources are no longer going into the twilight err I mean World of darkness game where you'd be able to hang out with your fellow emo girly boys and whine about how you can't get laid because chicks don't give you a chance.

Hint they don't give you a chance because despite all that touchy feely nonsense you see on Opra, heterosexual women like men who are manly .


You obviously missed the point of the protests. That or you are trolling.
The protest were AGAINST pay to win! not for it!

The protests only got worse when CCP did an about face and decided not to give us incarna. Only a colossal failure of a CSM chair could have caused CCP to back out of painted ships and WIS.




Geeze you are dumb.

I fully understand that the protests were against pay to win. You are obviously the one who doesn't get it since,

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY SUPPORTED PAY TO WIN.

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO BE ABLE TO BUY SKILL POINTS.

Stop trying to rewrite history.

No one gave a **** about CCP not giving us Incarna the protest escalated when Hilmar sent out his "Ignore what they say watch what they do" email. Incarna was an abject failure on every level. It was laggy had ****** controls and looked like crap. "Incarna" was a far far cry from "WIS" it was just a thinly disguised show room for the Cash shop and nothing more.

People were pissed because CCP delayed development on actual spaceship content for 2 years then served up a pile of steaming feces that was inferior to what Sony put out 12 years ago in EQ and called it "a technological triumph".

That's why they were bleeding subs like gunshot victim, notice it's when they had their come to Jesus moment and refocused on FIS that things settled down and subs started going up again.

Ok, some questions:


What actually do you stand for? I've not actually figured out yet what you're going to do in the CSM. All you say is you won't sweep stuff aside. Do you realise that trying to tackle all of the problems all of the time was the major failure of all the CSM's apart from 6?

Why is the current CSM so bad? I mean they actually got things fixed, the got FIS looked at rather than WIS. They got hybrids fixed, they got lag fixed and refocused CCP to look at core game play. Thats good for everyone.

In your video, you come across as odd, possibly like you have aspergers or you're an aspiring database programmer. Do you behave like that all the time? Its creepy.

The project management side of CSM 6 was actually very good, coming from an objective stand point. It actually fits in with CCP's sprints. How would you work with CCPs' existing development structure? (I assume you know what Agile is).

How do you justify having such horrific curtains? (Both you hair cut and the ones mounted in your house).

If you had one cause, and one cause only to champion, that you'd like to see fixed, what would that be? Only one mind and it can't be a broad 'low sec' or 'faction warfare'. It needs to be specific.

Do you realise you may have only got more than 100 votes because it just might be the case that certain elements would like the player base to spread there votes out as much as possible in the second round? How would you stop that in future?

You missed the point.


I didn't miss anything at all. You missed the point. The point is, you need to justify why anyone should vote you and so far there hasn't been any.

I agree that one's Eve-related accomplishments should not be the sole measure of a candidate. That's why I also asked if you had any accomplishments in other areas. I do believe that a successful candidate must have some way to highlight their understanding of and dedication to Eve. At the very least, a successful candidate must be able to highlight their dedication to online gaming in general. In fact, can you name one person who has been elected to the CSM who didn't have some in-game accomplishments that made them interesting and important in Eve before being elected? I'm no Eve historian, but all of the candidates I can think of had done something of note in game before running. Yes, even Jade Constantine.

So, second chance. What are the personal accomplishments - in Eve or elsewhere - that you believe make you a viable candidate?

I have the following degrees

Associates: computer graphic design
Associates: Network Security /w Administration
Bachelors: Psychology (Graduating after this semester)
Bachelors: Technical Systems Management (3 classes away)

I am 22 and already have more college experience then my peers because I skipped high school and started going to college at 14. I graduated with 2 degrees around 17 years old the same age the most people would just be starting. I have plenty of on the job experience with computers and employee management. I am a student of the Langer school of mindful thought.

I approach every situation with a methodical mentality and a willingness to please others though my own deeds and agendas.

I have worked PR and CI for Anonymous since as early as 2008 and I have also worked as a youth councilor.

And how do you believe those accomplishments make you a viable candidate? I, myself have multiple advanced degrees and a genius-level IQ, so I have a keen understanding of how useful education is (ie, very useful for work directly related to that education, hardly useful at all elsewhere.) Being very intelligent isn't nearly as useful as most people think, either.

Also, and this is just my opinion, here: Saying you did anything for "Anonymous" is not going to help you in the least, since it is both impossible to prove and more than a little contrary to the very concept of anonymity. I will let other, lesser trolls, comment on your stint as a youth counselor.

If you were smart you would at the very least understand how having a knowledge of computers & people is helpful in any job environment. You should read some Langer and get back to me on how useless my credentials are.

I was right! You do have aspergers and an aspiring computer programmer!

Worse than that, you still live with your parents and haven't got a real job.
