I am as of today announcing that I intend to run again for CSM 10, I was apart of CSM 8 and I believe that I have a lot to contribute to this years coming CSM through my years of experience in many different aspects of eve.
I am not running under a particular platform persay just with the same goal that I did last time and that is to attempt to help and guide ccp towards bettering the game for all aspects not just in 0.0 where I live.
For those people who are afraid that I am again another 0.0 candidate with only care for my own well I am here to tell you that you are mistaken. However I doubt that I could disuade you from this point so I will not bother trying with this.
People who know me know what I am about, I am open to questions about my ideas and thoughts towards different topics, keep in mind however any trolling or attempts to derail the thread will be ignored by me.
Thank you for considering me as a candidate for csm 10.

Ishtars I personally do not like but if we are talking from a game balance perspective then my issue is less with the ishtar and more with the sentry drone itself.
CCP's inability to deal with the growing issues of sentries while still adding more drone modules to the game is of big concern to me and will be something I would like to see addressed if I were to make it to csm. |

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, you were widely viewed as one of the least contributing members of CSM8.
It's entirely possible that I'm wrong, so my question is this:
What did you do while a part of CSM8, and what is the one thing you are most proud of having contributed to?

With regards to the first half of your post that is each to their own I guess. I know what I did and how active I was and aside from that the only others that know about this would be ccp or other csm members.
One of the things I am most proud about is the changes made to the fleet system including details put into fleet composition and such. Take it as excuses but I am never going to be able to tell you for a few years exactly what I had a say in or not.
It is important to know that some rumours may have come out regarding my inactivity during the term, the only time I was inactive was when I was away from game due to real life issues for the last month and a half of my term.

At least jail is your first good excuse for being inactive. Do you really want me to drudge up the exact same complaints that were fielded last time? Or do you have enough mindless mongs to support you again? |

Just like all of the questions around his inactivity for multiple years prior to csm8. Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for the CSM), he left PL and got in on the HBC vote. |

Go ahead. :)
I believe I screwed up a lot in the past specially with how I handled the HBC situation and my main role in its downfall. Since then though I am happy to find myself in a great alliance with some really decent allies.
I guess things turned out well for me though so I am happy. The results of the vote will determine what people think of me win or lose.
Thanks for the free bumps though, its good to have my thread at the top for more exposure they do say any publicity is good publicity even in politics. :) |

Do you know why many considered you to be ineffective or inactive member of CSM8?
Why did you apparently not attend a single session during the CSM8 Summer Submit remotely via teleconferencing? |

No I do not unfortunately.
With regards to your second question I did not attend them because I had just started a new job at the start of august which ran on a 3 month contract till the start of November.
It is commonly known from people who have been on csm and know of how the summits work that if you are a euro and do not get time off work it is hard to get in on any of the summits as they all start in the early morning EU and finish around about 17:30 in the evening. For the winter summit I however did not have a job and attended nearly every summit meeting.
If anyone is wondering I am currently unemployed and even if I had a job I would intend to have the time off for the summits that came up. This is one of the biggest issues for people who are euros and want to attend summits, you need to be a student or someone who owns their own business to be guaranteed to be able to make it.
I hope this explains and answers your questions. |

First one none, second one I helped look over the write ups for the second set as nearly all were done by people attending the summits and then editted by people who joined in by lync later on.

Not in your case, I'm afraid. The more people know about you is only damaging unless, like I said, you have a large bloc of voters that is going to vote for you no matter what. I am not sure that particular brand of lightning will strike twice. |

You are welcome to your thoughts but a lot has changed in what is now 2 years. The people voting for me know enough about me to make a decision to vote for me so I will leave it up to them. |

Try me.
To me, your OP makes me feel like you've blown this all off as a trivial necessity to be eligible for CSMX, and are completely apathetic towards inspiring people outside our your coalition to vote for you. So let's try this again, and let's keep it really simple.
First question: Why should I vote for you instead of someone like Manfred Sideous, Sion Kumitomo, or Endie von Posts?
Second question: If you are not running as a bloc candidate, are you going to encourage the pilots of your own alliance to educate themselves before voting, or are you going to present your allies a prefilled ballot and ask them to tow the party line?

The game has gone full circle from 4+ years ago where the NC used to assign fighters to fight insurgency and tri, it was a strange mechanic back then and a strange mechanic now. I believe the so called nerf is a band aid and will not change much with the mechanic itself. I think a medium needs to be found where the people assigning fighters put themselves more on the line and the people who use drones are not unbeatable that it kills any potential for fights small to large scale.
I am not sure how to fix it at all but along side the sentries issue I still have a big issue with anyone being able to control anyone elses ships damage. I believe that any type of game play where you can afk and do nothing is not good game design. The more ships on grid the more people have to put them at risk.
The only good I do see from fighter assign is letting 1 side be able to semi even the playing field with another bigger group of players, this however does not outweigh the issues with assign and drone mechanics in general. |

As someone who has been with Sort for the past 2 years I can confirm he did change quite a bit, especially during the last months. Sort might be a **** sometimes and won't win the award for the most popular person in eve - but he's the kind of person you'd want in the CSM because he knows the game, its mechanics and is not afraid to tell his opinion or doubts.
Anyways, everybody has to decide for himself which candidate fits his own expectations of eve best and what he thinks should be the highest priority for 2015. |

You need to read the response, rarely are game mechanics black and white, he addresses your concerns quite directly.
