Breaking a signed NDA is a prosecution felony in my country. So don't high your hopes on me breaking an NDA.

Why run, then? So much better to have someone else break that NDA for you. You sort of dodged this question.

What is this "NDA" of which you speak?


Non Disclosure Agreement.

Council of Stella Management seats get access to sensitive material, which can be both harmful to be exposed in and out of game.

As far as I know there has been two instances of CSM delegates breaking the NDA. One guy try to make rich himself in game thought privilege information (there was an upcoming industrial rebalance and he bought a ton of a soon to be desirable material). The second one, Ankh has never been told why she was ousted of the CSM, but the suspicions of most players was her breaking the NDA for personal gain. just mere player speculation.

A couple of questions:

How will your ego interfere with your work on the CSM?
Do you actually think you are as important as your OP states?
Why do you run for CSM? While the OP clearly states your policies, I fail to see any real reasoning behind your application.

Through your "blog" evenews24.com, you have often displayed that you are a very emotional person, led by your hate and struggle for revenge against the CFC, more interested in pleasing your ego by increasing the number of your readers than the actual news themselves. How do you think this will affect you in a CSM position?

Considering how evenews24 is always late with reporting stuff, often several weeks, don't you think this will be a disadvantage in the CSM, if you don't know what's going on until it is too late?

Don't you think, that the tabloid format of evenews24 attracts 12 year old WoW-playing, uneducated pubbies, the one category of players we don't want in this game? Will this reflect your stances on CSM questions?

I also have a request:

Compare yourself to a baboon, please, and list differences and similarities.

Can we have an answer to this? I really want to know.

All of you who actually clicked "like" are horrible, horrible trolls. You're destroying the game for me.

At very least, if by some matter of bribery River does manage to get this position, do not leave him in charge of providing minutes. He seems to struggle a bit when it comes to working with factual information. Straight

So what exactly IS your proposition? What kind of idea do you have in mind to attract more players and increased game play?


for starts, I feel the fourteen days is simply too short for a player to fall enamored with the beauty of the game. I also propose Incarna to be put to some good use and be branded as a perpetual free to play feature with docking, chat and skill-point training restrictions.

Am even willing to explore the idea of letting sub 2mil SP players to play as real belt-rats in an arcade like mode, for them to get a feeling on how the game works.


BIG WHAT IF
What if once a year CCP would let you redistribute a good chunk of your skill point? Am not calling for all skillpoint to be redistributed (I held the believe that each character needs to be unique skill-wise to some extend), but a percentage of it to be inversely proportional to the total amount of skillpoints. And this is just an idea I believe could work to grip players until they find their game.

Good afternoon!

Although it pleases me to see a wide range of candidates putting themselves forward for the CSM positions, I have a few questions I would like answered...

As far I understand, the CSM are there to bridge the gap between the player base and the developers. This includes relaying our idea's, concerns & appraisals. It also includes providing regular feedback on the players views of the game. My question is, How can we rely on a individual that consistently does the following...

- Mass self promotion via your website/blog

- HUGE Bias between different parties in the game, How can we trust your decisions?

- Your "News" website is often far behind or completely misses the relevant stories based on your opinion. How do we know you'll not be the same in the CSM?

- Complete ignorance concerning criticisms and opinions, Will you actually listen?

It all comes down to trust. How can the player base trust someone that regularly publicly releases biased, late & hateful articles to benefit his own ego?

That it all.

I think this shows the big difference between reporting on events in EvE and acutally having ideas which would be agreeable to both the player base and CCP.

Stick to bland reporting and don't pollute the CSM with unworkable ideas.

I really wish CCP would implement a "Dislike" button.

CFC forces formed up to take 80% of Init Mercs techmoons that got timed to early euro time on a saturday. No hostile forces encountered. +4 tech for cfc another 5tech reinforced into US prime.

Since being a journalist and being a politician don't mix for obvious reasons I take it, that you are stepping down from your position at Evenews?

Also you admitted before that you profited through the information you got on evenews before you released the article, why should anyone trust, that you won't do it again?
