tl;dr: The title.
James knows how hisec works and has written extensively on the psychological profile of hisec inhabitants, their activities, and how to improve hisec. He has also proven he is a man of action, not simply sitting behind his soapbox, but taking matters into his own hands and trying to make a change. His skill with written rhetoric, politically charged situations, keeping in touch with the community, and taking a stand for the area of Eve he lives in qualify him perfectly to serve on the CSM to advise CCP on matters pertaining to hisec space -- which the other CSM representatives so far may not have the background to actually do. James' presence on the CSM, or even his campaigning for CSM may serve as a wake-up call for hisec residents to actively participate in CSM elections.
Because of all these reasons, I unofficially nominate James 315 as a CSM candidate to represent hisec! Who is with me?

Aye, hisec needs a good *snicker* representative "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com |

He definitely knows how to engage with the highsec community making use of all the highsec (and EVE in general) mechanics made available to him by CCP. Such as NPC corps, physics engine, CONCORD, etc etc

You're getting pretty good at this trolling thing, I must say... There is a fine and proper artistry to wielding verbal scalpels, such that the crap-poster you've slashed doesn't even know they've been cut. But verbal bludgeons -- Those are just fun. |

James has repeatedly proven himself to be driven, level-headed, able to work hard, a good leader and a fine diplomat. He has experience working in highsec space and extensive knowledge of the mining industry. He has been able to create an organisation in highsec space spanning several systems. James engages with the forum community and updates his blog on a regular basis. He really does tick all the boxes when it comes to a possible highsec CSM candidate. |

I wasn't able to help with your cause firsthand (I have low sec status and I don't have any spare alts) but I figured out a way to show support and say thanks for all your hard work.
I also certainly hope you will consider running for CSM 8. There are many who would support you.

Paul Oliver wrote:Is "emergent gameplay" a politically correct term for harassment? Emergent gameplay is gameplay that is not specifically implemented into the game, but rather evolves from other, more basic mechanics. You can also call it a "sandbox", as the analogy stands: sandcastles are not a "built-in" feature of a sandbox, but something you can do after you're given a sandbox.
Some examples of emergent gameplay: evolved trade-hubs and player-run economy, organized war (a la RvB), nullsec alliances and coalitions (and other player politics), pyramid schemes, gambling services (blink, etc.), Hulkageddon, and yes, exerting influence over peers without firing a single shot, via bump-extortion.

Then i can cast my vote. Based on his track record, I have every confidence that James will make life better for all hisec focused players: miners, missioners, and the "1%" alike (though I'm not sure who you mean by that). The only ones who should fear his CSM-ship are the botters, whom he strongly disapproves of.
