Spectre3353 Gallente The Python Cartel.	Posted - 2009.10.07 14:44:00 - [1] Why Am I Running? Over the past couple of years, many of CSM delegates have come and gone. Most have been representatives of large 0.0 corporations or highsec industrial groups. Very few have stood up for the improvement, refactoring or rethinking of the abandoned regions in between that we call lowsec. I am running for CSM in an effort to bring attention to low security space and mechanics related to it (which in many cases affects players of all play styles in all locations) so that all geographical regions and types of space can provide something unique, profitable and most importantly fun to the game. What Improvements/Changes Am I Advocating? * New Mining Mechanics and Capabilities * Improving Fun and Profit in Lowsec For All Players Of All Career Paths (Without Having To Rely On Alts) * Re-examining The Outdated/Simplistic Implementation of GCC, Timers and Sentries * Encouraging Tactics Beyond Blobbing and Camping * User Interface Improvements * More... Why Am I Qualified? I have been gaming for nearly as long as I can remember and have been playing online and MMO games since the days of BBS's. Tradewars 2002, Subspace, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft and many others but none captured my imagination and interest the way that Eve-Online has. I have been playing Eve consistently since March 2008 with a focus towards low security space PvP and "piracy". I have some basic experience with PvP in 0.0, mission running and even mining. In my time playing Eve-Online, I have helped grow and run a successful pirate corporation, generated dozens of blog posts about Eve, made many friends (and a few enemies), made lots of ISK and caused many things to blow up (including my own ships). I am very passionate about my gaming and especially Eve. I am opinionated and have the ability to voice my opinions in a clear and concise manner. Electing me will give the CSM a well spoken individual with good ideas and the drive to communicate and see them through to implementation. I am (and always have been) easily accessible to those around me and I feel that I would give excellent representation to the population of lowsec and all of New Eden. Am I Dead Sexy? Yes. Yes I am. In Conclusion: If you want a candidate who is intent on improving the experience for all players of all career paths with a specific focus on the improvement of the lost and abandoned child named "lowsec", I am it. Please feel free to check my blog for more specific information about the improvements I am advocating above. ----- The Python Cartel - My Pirate Blog
Lord Bentley The Syndicates	Posted - 2009.10.07 14:51:00 - [2] Well, i wish you luck. Here are the things why i will not vote you, just to help you in a long run. 1. Anyone with numbers in their name is a BIG no no. 2. Your suggestions lag imagination and i don't find them special or much needed. 3. I think you lack the experience. I wish you luck Respectfully, Lord Bentley The Syndicates
Dawts The Order of the EyE	Posted - 2009.10.07 14:53:00 - [3] Spec has my vote.
Brick0Joe The Python Cartel.	Posted - 2009.10.07 14:53:00 - [4] I approve of this. Spectre is a great FC and knows the game very well. I think some of the changes he is proposing would make the game a lot more fun to play for people who live in lowsec.

Anyways, good luck spectre, I think you are actually a good candidate, no matter how mucgh i like to slag off on you in our own forums, you've got the level head needed for this, and the sincerity required to represent all of us low sec people.

I don't know spectre, if i would i probably would vote for him. I just still see no new or imaginative ideas here. Also, name does not make a person, unless it has numbers in it. You don't see a person with name like "John 230982", but you might run into a lord from time to time. This ** breaks immersion. Respectfully, Lord Bentley** The Syndicates

Spectre3353 Gallente The Python Cartel.	Posted - 2009.10.07 15:52:00 - [15] Hello everyone and thanks for your interest and responses! I would please ask you that you do not let this devolve into a flamewar/trollfest until at least the second page! Lord, Quote: 1. Anyone with numbers in their name is a BIG no no. While I respect your opinion I do not see how numbers attached to my name indicate anything about my capability to be an effective member of the CSM. Quote: 2. Your suggestions lag imagination and i don't find them special or much needed. I am only interested in being imaginative if it is beneficial to the game and its players. I am proposing and advocating these changes because I feel they are necessary, not because I am trying to impress or wow anyone with my whiz bang revolutionary ideas. Quote: 3. I think you lack the experience. In Eve alone I have been playing for well over a year and a half (but I have a huge amount of experience with MMO's and gaming in general). I have spent a majority of my time PvP'ing in lowsec but I also have experience to varying degrees with missioning in highsec up to Level 4's, mining, exploration, PvP in nullsec and trading. As of this moment I have approximately 2300+ kills and 250 deaths according to BattleClinic that show I fly a large myriad of ships as well as engage in many different types of combat against a variety of targets. I have CEO'd a successful corp that is still running strong. I write a blog that has been active for almost the entire time I have been playing and am very involved in the Eve blogging community. In other words, I am not sure why you would claim that I am not experienced enough. I would be more than happy to hear more specific thoughts on what I am lacking in terms of being able to represent lowsec and the pilots of New Eden on a more broad scale. Thanks! ----- The Python Cartel - My Pirate Blog

Good reply, It seems that your answer have changed my mind. You'll get my vote, but i still hate that name. EDIT: and sorry about derailing this thread, was not my intention.

You'll get my vote, but i still hate that name. why can't i meet girls that can be swayed so easily :-\ and if i manage to vote spec, i'd prolly vote for you, unless Lana runs.. or maybe lexa, then i dunno if they would be any good, lana deffinatly just a waste of space im sure, pretty much like this response
Yristor	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:15:00 - [18] You've "generated dozens of blog posts"...? Humans don't "generate" blog posts, they write them. I suspect that this so-called candidate is actually... A SPAM BOT!!!
Amanda Mor	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:16:00 - [19] Originally by: Lord Bentley Good reply, It seems that your answer have changed my mind. You'll get my vote, but i still hate that name. Bentley, you don't seem to know how internet forums are supposed to work - you're expected to take things personally and to defend your original viewpoint to the death. This "rational response" thing just makes you look weak... You'll get my vote Spectre - if you can change someones mind on an internet forum, then you'll have no problem with CCP. Oh, and can you take Python Cartel to Amamake more often to keep Heretics busy so I can pick up the leftovers? I'd appreciate it!
Count MonteCarlo Genos Occidere HYDRA RELOADED	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:33:00 - [20] Edited by: Count MonteCarlo on 07/10/2009 16:35:30 You have 1/2 of my accounts votes because I know you're not an idiot, a major boost to low sec ( carebearing wise ) would be a big boost to every one, especially for carebears that's not ready to try out 0.0

KapnKaboom School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:38:00 - [21] Sorry, I'll only vote for the guy (or gal) that is going to remove Concord and set all system security levels to 0.
Nihiliax	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:41:00 - [22] Edited by: Nihiliax on 07/10/2009 16:42:15 Hey Spec, Looking at your OP it appears you have the makings of a successful politician already. You present a nice, concise, bullet-pointed manifesto declaring that if elected you propose to "change stuff" without actually indicating what those changes would be. Any chance you could give us a sneak preview of the exact changes you would propose to make? Thanks in advance. Edit: Knackers - just noticed the very last line so ignore this post - I'll check out your blog.
MirrorGod Heretic Army Heretic Nation	Posted - 2009.10.07 16:47:00 - [23] Half of my votes as well. Good intents, some of your implementations and fix-it ideas are too far-fetched (systems that +5's can't enter, for example.) Conversely, the pirate community would love a real buff besides "lolFW" or "HURR u can has Battleship rats )))" Tune up some of your solutions and you've got a solid platform
Spectre3353 Gallente The Python Cartel.	Posted - 2009.10.07 17:36:00 - [24] Edited by: Spectre3353 on 07/10/2009 17:38:20 Originally by: Yristor You've "generated dozens of blog posts"...? Humans don't "generate" blog posts, they write them. I suspect that this so-called candidate is actually... A SPAM BOT!!! Does not compute. Originally by: Nihiliax I see you are proposing to make Frigates more viable in small gang and solo encounters which is, to my mind, a truly noble cause so I will probably chuck you a vote (assuming I remember). I was recently involved in a thread on here somewhere where some numbskull was ranting about Stasis Webifiers. It was a **-poor post but it got me thinking and I do actually reckon the removal of this "magic space-treacle" module would make Frigates less vulnerable against larger ships. Where would you stand on an issue like that? Webs were already nerfed pretty significantly during the nano-nerf and frigates have benefited quite a bit since that time (less affected by webs means harder for larger guns to hit them, AF's got buffed overall, small rigs are now extremely cheap, etc). In addition, larger ships already have to either bring anti-frigate friends or make sure they are fit with their own neuts/drones/small weaponry to ensure they don't become victim to a bunch of smaller targets they can't hit. In other words, I think the frigate lineup as a whole and how they compare/engage with larger ships is already pretty well balanced. I am much more interested in making frigate sized ships useful/viable throughout all parts of lowsec via changes to the security status, timers and sentry guns. Right now you are limited to engaging pretty much only at planets, belts and faction warfare plexes which is silly considering a tiny portion of the population ever enters these places. Originally by:** MirrorGod Half of my votes as well. Good intents, some of your implementations and fix-it ideas are too far-fetched (systems that +5's can't enter, for example.) Conversely, the pirate community would love a real buff besides "lolFW" or "HURR u can has Battleship rats )))" Tune up some of your solutions and you've got a solid platform Thanks for the good word Mirror. I think you may have misunderstood or misread my idea about the systems thing. I was advocating that there be perhaps a small number of systems in lowsec that are only accessible to players who are -5 (not +5). These systems can have a sort of anti-CONCORD police that keeps the peace. These systems could become hubs in lowsec to try and alleviate the fact that most negative sec status players are forced to have alts to haul goods for them out of high security space not to mention that right now there are no unique benefits to being blinky but tons of negatives. Obviously there are lots of issues to work out around this sort of idea, such as: * How do you prevent people from simply camping the exit/entrance to these hubs? * Do you allow high security status players to still enter so that they can help stock goods? * Do you allow people to have offices at these stations? ...and so forth. The real thing I am trying to do here overall is to spur conversation about how to make lowsec unique, viable to live in without requiring an alt character and profitable/fun for all types of players. Whether or not any of my specific ideas ever come to fruition is not important as long as they help spur conversation and actions that eventually do get implemented and make lowsec (and all of Eve) a better game. ----- The Python Cartel - My Pirate Blog
Bfoster The Python Cartel.	Posted - 2009.10.07 17:55:00 - [25] + my votes.. We need someone to support small gang/low sec pvp.

Jack Coutu Gallente The Happy Spacemen	Posted - 2009.10.07 18:42:00 - [27] I've always enjoyed fighting a pirate group that goes out of the docking range of stations. Spectre has my vote.

Count Angelus	Posted - 2009.10.07 19:24:00 - [29] You have my vote. I have followed your blog, and have gathered that you seem to be smart, level-headed and commited. And funny, that is a plus! ;) Go mr Pilkins!
Mashashige Minmatar Eternal Perseverance Hellstrome Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.07 19:48:00 - [30] You would have my vote, had not for the following reasons: 1. Pirate CSM candidates have (by past experience) been failures (i.e lark). 2. Python/Spec, from my personal knowledge, are a pretty **ty example of pirates. They are a nice group of people (mostly), and def. know how to have a good time - but if we look at what defines most successful pirates in eve, Python/Spec will be lacking. 3. Spec are a good political, granted - but some of his advocated changes/improvements reek of either hypocrisy/bull** fillers. "* Encouraging Tactics Beyond Blobbing and Camping" is a nice saying, but when Spec/Python spend 90% of you time ingame either engaging at uneven odds (you being favorites) or camping the Jel gate, I worry that you'll be unable to offer any new insight/ideas regarding other tactics - especially since you seem to rather stay docked than undock and try other methods (that ARE possible in this iteration of the game) of gameplay except blobing/gatecamping. Also, although its not a "proper" reason - from my "interactions" with spec in game, I find him to be not just a whinny little ***, but also a sad example of a guy that would resort to looking up what his opponents do in RL for the purpose of having ammo in a local smack war. And honestly, as much as I like metagaming/spying/corpthieves/etc - attacking someone by using his RL in a game is kinda poor taste to say the least - and Id rather not have someone like that represent my needs/wants (especially if said person actually has to work with CCP). Be it as it may, even if my personal reasons to dislike Spec are irrelevant to most of you - unless he can prove he's serious about improving the game and not just **ing around like lark did - Id place my vote with someone else, and I'd suggest other people do the same. ======================================= "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."
