Why isn't there a dislike button? It would be really helpful in this thread. :CCP:

What is your stance on delay bubbles after the reveal.

Xenuria, please list your accomplishments related to Eve.



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 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.
All of which you have not applied to any job situation. College may be "great" but they obviously did not prepare you for the real world once you are done with school. I've yet to finish my IT degree at BYU-Idaho but I've held down three jobs that were based on my incomplete degree. Currently I'm a federal and state contractor and I still don't give a hoot about graduating. You need to expand your horizon outside your BS Langer scope that no one gives a flip about. By the way, anonymous isn't that spectacular to brag about.

I have had plenty of jobs but none of them were really noteworthy enough that I would brag about them. I worked at UPS for 2 years as a package handler. Psychology helped keep me from getting stabbed. I was able to defuse many situations with words alone.

Well that explains your social ineptitude.

The most valuable lessons learned in high school are not Algebra or English but socialization.

Learning to deal with you peers to process social interactions and develop coping mechanism.

By skipping high school you missed out on all that and likely ended up even more socially stunted as that freaky little kid in college who couldn't engage in any of the age appropriate social activities in that environment either.

Whoever let you place out of highschool did you no favors later in life since those social skills you missed out on have far more to do with success than any degrees you may earn.

It's not about bragging, I think that says enough about you already.

If you wanted to come across as a humble, genuine people person you have told us your're a packing handler for ups, you live a home with your parents but want to be a computer programmer. Instead we get pretentious bollocks about degrees and child geniuses.

Dear OP: As it would stand you appear to be the least informed, least compelling and least charismatic candidate as such I will consider voting for you just to hear your rambling monotonous drone cause frustration amongst other CSM members.

Yes, please tell us how you are a wonderful hostage negotiator and you saved the world from annihilation because of your education in psychology.

Why do you constantly avoid questions related to relevant eve mechanics that in the opinions of some may be broken and unfair and instead talk about your college degrees that have nothing to do with eve? I also noticed you are in an NPC corporation, since CSM is supposed to be the link between the player base and CCP, who are you even siding with? What do you even do in eve? What parts of this game do you partake in that you could have a foot to stand on if an idea came across to change it?

I believe this relates to one of his more significant achievements. To corp hop to avoid interacting with other players who wardec him.
