Oh that would be too pretentious of me. No, I aspire to nothing of the sort really.
Im just a simple (bored) EVE bystander that sees a legitimate issue worth discussing.
But dont let me stop you from trying to make me sound grand, I might grow to like it! |

LUMINOUS SPIRIT wrote:Lol, you think its about you or your recruitment scams, or particular details of this scam? No my friend, its not. its about something bigger. Its about creating and exploiting wedges in the community. Right now I opened up a wedge - Manfred's tolerance of scamming. Now, if someone on say evenews24.com or tmc picks this up, they are going to ask him a question - whats his stance on recruitment scams in his organization? He has three answers. 1) He supports it. result - alienates half the normal people who will consider him nothing better then a CODE scumbag or a Goon scammer. Lost votes, others will spin this against him. He loses the election, again. Frankly, if he does support it, then he is no different from CODE. Scammers are scammers, all the same. 2) He fluffs the answer and appears weak and indecisive. Other candidates will exploit this at a minimum. Noone likes evasive politicians. 3) He says he is against. He will have to throw you under the bus of course, or at least that dude of yours, to make a show of commitment. This will have a positive effect on his image and differentiate him from Goon and other scamming candidates. Lots of potential for good spin here. Take it from me, I was senior campaign manager for several Ontario provincial elections. I know how this **** works. EDIT - oh lol look at this, in time it took me to type this, already 3! posts defending recruitment scams, one questioning Manfred's ability to enforce rules across his! organization, and one post got edited. Definitely a wedge, and definitely worthy of further note by journalists.
First - I am not the leader of Pandemic Legion.
Secondly - Pandemic Legion has all kinds of players engaging in all kinds of gameplay. Just because a guy solo's in lowsec and is really good doesn't automatically mean the rest of us are as well.
Third - I personally don't engage in scamming I would have to much guilt for it personally.
Fourth - Scamming is legal in Eve as well as stealing despite how distasteful some people find it. I am of the opinion that I like the diversity of gameplay in Eve. Eve is a terrible cold and evil place and that makes it feel so much more exciting.
So I am sure this isn't going to satisfy you. I am not a politician , I am just a guy that sincerely loves the game and the community and has alot of passion about it. If I don't get your vote then welp sorry.

LUMINOUS SPIRIT wrote: Lol. Please point where I said Manfred was involved with any of the above. Learn to read replies.
The question was 'what is normal people in EVE - those who scam, or those who do not'? Erotica 1 episode demonstrated that majority of people are against scamming, ergo that is the normal behavior. And in any situation where there is a popularity contest between a normal and a scammer - normal wins.
That's a beautiful slippery slope. The incident of Erotica 1 revolved less around in-game scamming and more towards out of game harassment. CCP Falcon even said so in his posts admonishing that incident.
So again, please explain why you believe Manfred Sideous, CSM 10 Candidate, should have his candidacy revoked due to one of his co-members in Pandemic Legion partaking in an act of gameplay CCP endorse.
Until such time, this is a moot point and you're just flailing your arms while failing to understand what you're talking about.

I respect a man that gets ahead of the issue and makes his stance known. Thank you for taking the time to answer it quickly.
I have more then one vote and I will keep your candidacy in mind. Scamming is distasteful for me, but not the only factor at the end of the day.

I never said manfred should have his candidacy revoked; I said, he is not fit. There is a difference, and dont put words in my mouth.
But i will humour you, as I understand what you are trying to say.
In my opinion, CSM representative should stand for 'good' things in EVE. Improving gameplay, reducing scamming, ganking, harassment, etc. Those that do not, by omission of leadership included, in my opinion, are not fit for CSM duty.
Simple explanation really. You may disagree of course, but it is your opinion against mine. We shall see how the votes pan out. |

You're an absolute imbecile, I want you to know that.
He has absolutely nothing to do with that, for starters. Nevermind that, if I judged your alliance by how you behave, then I'd be doing them a disservice indeed, since I doubt they're all SJW wannabe moral crusader slime like you.
+1 to Manny, he's been on the ball with some things lately, and he basically called the jump range changes way before they actually happened.

Not sure why the scamming hate for PL here. PL are mostly good guys, top notch pilots, and the vast majority of them are not involved in this stuff. A few bad apples? Sure. But nothing like the degree of scamming in Goons or the rest of the CFC. Being in the leadership of PL is certainly not disqualifying for being an asset to the game and being on CSM. I would definitely consider voting for Manny, but I'd like to here more about his thoughts on highsec (ganking, awoxxing, wardeccs, etc....). Any ideas? |

Vote for the man because of his own stance, his own actions and his own deeds, not because of what someone else in his alliance does or does not do. If you only elect people from alliances whose members never scam then you will end up with all the nullsec representatives from Provi and ETNY, and that might not be wholly representative.
Eve is a dark, exciting, dangerous place and scamming, piracy and all-round depravity have always been huge draws for the game. Like Manny, I don't scam due to having too much of a guilty conscience to be comfortable with it, but it is part of the game we all chose to play. You can't move in next door to a nightclub then complain of noise in the night. |

Manny has consistently impressed me with his knowledge of game mechanics and his ability to theorycraft the implications of potential game changes. He has a deep knowledge, a wealth of experience, and the work ethic that the CSM needs. Vote for Manny, CCP needs to hear what he has to say. |

My own Eve career has drifted in and out of Manny's path many time over the years. Not only is Manny one of the MOST knowledgeable guys in Eve, he's also possibly the nicest guy Ive met in game.
While being "nice" doesnt make you a great CSM - being knowledgeable,active, helpful and most importantly a great communicator does make you a great CSM.

Quote:ArrowShip Balance & Iteration- T3 cruisers are grossly out of balance as well as the ishtar. Bombers are still dictating fleet tactics in nullsec. Command Ships are still way to flimsy to reliably use them on field. Missiles are absolutely useless in anything larger than a small gang (cruise missiles have 70hp lol). Shield comps are woefully at a disadvantage to armor comps.The list goes on and on.
voting based on this alone
game desperately needs balance changes and this hits most of the problems on the head

Asked a couple questions a couple pages back but I think they were lost in the post attributing other players actions to you. So I will just ask again.
What would you change about T3's and Ishtars?
Do you think the rise in OPness of T3's and Ishtars is attributable to the fact that BC's (natural Cruiser hunters) are essentially garbage currently?
What are your thoughts on BC's and BS's?
I remember back in 09/10 there was a nice little food chain. HACS/T3 > BS > BC > HACS/T3. IMO It seems that food chain is dead these days. |

Your post mentions something about FW, but there is more to lowsec than FW.

Thank you for your earlier response.
What is your position on fighter assignment? For example a Nyx assigns fighters from the edge of a POS to a T1 frigate which is somewhere else in the system.

T3's and Ishtar's - I was having this discussion with some wormhole people the other day. It feels like the Tengu is the biggest violator currently. If anything the Loki might need slight tweeks. Ishtars I think reduce the drone bay to 200m3. They can carry 1 set sentries 1 medium 1 small set of drones.
The problem with Nullsec PVP is bombers. They are still completely ******** and coupled with how easy probing is now the GODBOMB run is a actual thing and threat at all times. They severely restrict fleet concepts in nullsec. When my opponent brings Dominix's I'd love to bring Alphafleet but doing so is suicide due to bombers.
Yeah BC,BS & Hacs are way outside the meta especially in Nullsec. Most times its just better to bring a T1 cruiser than a Hac. BC's are so woefully inept next to T3's. Command ships aren't in much better shape and most BS are laughable at best in nullsec.
