As someone who has an involved interest in managnig an NPSI community, my question to you Bam is twofold
- How much experience do you have flying with the mainstream NPSI communities? - What tools do you feel would be beneficial to social groups that exist solely for in game purposes (specifically spectre fleet esque NPSI fleets and incursion communities)? |

Dear Bam,
When will you reply to my email I sent to your EVE-Bet email address. It's been a few weeks.
Love you,
Hendrick.

+1 for Bam. A man who is this genuinely passionate about the community can only be good for the CSM.
Also, EDU videos fulfill my longing to vicariously attend EVE meetups. |

I was introduced to NPSI communities a couple of years ago by Greygal when I began participating in AgonyGÇÖs public roams. Later when she left Agony and founded Redemption Road I was involved early on helping to promote her AUTZ fleets and would occasionally FC them.
Although itGÇÖs been some time since IGÇÖve done any actual FCing for RR I still go on their public roams whenever I can. In fact I flew in their 100th anniversary roam just yesterday (RIP Dickslapper 2000. :( gf HERO, I hope you enjoy the complimentary signed copy of my book). IGÇÖd say IGÇÖve attended about 3 NPSI roams in the last month.
IGÇÖve never flown with Spectre or RvB but I can attest to having lost several ships to the latter while theyGÇÖve been out on their Ganked roams. Bastards.
Koz Katral wrote:- What tools do you feel would be beneficial to social groups that exist solely for in game purposes (specifically spectre fleet esque NPSI fleets and incursion communities)? Right now a chat channel and a mailing list is the extent of services the client provides to someone running a society. ThatGÇÖs clearly not sufficient when you realise that societies (which includes NPSI communities) are often more complex organisms than many corporations.
Since youGÇÖre mostly concerned with NPSI communities IGÇÖd say the main thing is standings. If societies were a formalised entity within the game an NPSI community should be able to set their own standings to other societies and corporations. Whenever a player joins an NPSI fleet the playerGÇÖs standings would be temporarily overridden by the standings of the fleet commander. As well as now making them true NPSI fleets it would also be hugely useful when two or more NPSI communities are cooperating temporarily, such as recently when Spectre and RvB formed up like Voltron to kill Nashh KadavrGÇÖs titan.
It would also be really cool if killmails reflected that a ship was destroyed by an NPSI fleet, similar to the GÇ£Killed on behalf ofGǪGÇ¥ message that appears on KMs generated after a kill right was used. GÇ£Killed by Spectre FleetGÇ¥ or GÇ£Killed by Bombers BarGÇ¥ at the top of an NPSI fleetGÇÖs KM would be really cool, and people would know who was truly behind it when the KM gets passed around.
While weGÇÖre on fleets, stop the client from treating the fleet window as just another chat window. Let FCs save and reload MOTDs or fill out a pro-forma message when they create a fleet. Let the FC set up the MOTD so it displays the fleet comp to all members if he wishes and his requirements for hulls which updates dynamically as people join or leave a fleet. This way someone coming into an fleet can see what they need to get in at a glance without bugging the FC or XO for the 15th time on comms or waiting for someone to answer them in chat.*
Finally, to give you an example of when IGÇÖve spoken up for NPSI communities before:
When I was at Fanfest last year I attended the nullsec roundtable and during the discussion ex-CCP Greyscale floated the possibility of removing fleet warp. Reactions around the room ranged from dismay to indifference to approval. When I spoke I told Greyscale that I felt it would have a serious negative impact NPSI fleets since they rely on the FC being able to warp the fleet to his tactical bookmarks. Corp bookmarks are no help since by their nature NPSI fleets attract random people from all over. I said if they must remove fleet warp at least add some other functionality so that NPSI fleets donGÇÖt become a nightmare to shepherd, such as allowing FCs to broadcast BMs to their fleet so that fleet members can warp to his tacticals manually.
Now nothing I said at the roundtable was actually that revolutionary. The point is that when Greyscale put the idea to the floor the other guys in the room began thinking about the impact on their own organisations. My first reaction was to ask myself GÇ£How will this affect others?GÇ¥
ThatGÇÖs the attitude I want to take to the CSM meeting table and not just a Fanfest roundtable.
* To be fair that would be a great help to everyone, not just NPSI communities.

Hi,
I have known Bam Stroker for...ages. This man has put his heart and soul into the EVE Community.
An anecdote: Last year there was a Brisbane meetup (It was Fawlty7's birthday I believe). I was lucky enough to host Bam at my home for the weekend. The meetup was a massive success, with a little under 40 amazing spaceship nerds attending. A good time was had by all. Afterward we got home, Bam stepped outside "for a smoke". What he was actually doing was having a little bit of a vomit, on my back lawn. I found this puddle of joy the next afternoon, long after Bam had boarded a plane home. Since then I have fenced this hallowed ground off and crafted a small shrine. The plant life has flourished, creating a small but vibrant "Garden of Bam". Every time I am feeling down or sad I go and sit before the "Garden of Bam", basking in its peacefulness and splendor.
I believe that Bam will provide a unique and valuable perspective on the CSM. His dedication to the EVE community is unparalleled. And he's just an all around good bloke.
Bam, you have my axe, my heart, and my votes. |

Bam is probably one the most enthusiastic people around when it comes to EVE, in and out of game.
Given how much time he has devoted to participating and organising community events, I am confident he would be a capable and productive CSM member.
Will not hesitate to vote for him.

Toting my own horn here in order to serve the mighty Bam Stroker.
EVE Meet is amazing, every second I was working on it, I had a nervous jitter. To the point where I put that many hours in with 3am coding binges that I drove myself to the Flu (its summer here....).
I wasn't putting the hours in because I love EVE (which I do), I wasn't putting the hours in because I love the community (which i do) But because of the zeal and enthusiasm which Bam had for the community and the future he saw for it.
And every moment I spent on EVE Meet, I saw it too, And every moment was worth it.
Even now, I've begun work on some projects of my own thanks to Bam's gentle push.
So vote for Bam, his passion for the community might be downright dangerous for your own health! but you'll love every second of it.

Bam has a rock solid track record in the community already, it's impossible to go wrong with him on the CSM. I'll go one step further: it'd be downright silly to not include this man on your ballot. A definite asset to the CSM.

Thanks for posting this Ariel because EVE Meet is an example of something that massively backs up the rationale of my platform:
It was at a player gathering (in Brisbane) that I first met Ariel and it was another player gathering (EVE Down Under) when I put out a call to find someone help me develop the idea I had which led to EVE Meet.
It's reasonable to say that EVE Meet may not exist today if it weren't for the fact that the AUTZ has been a hotbed of community activity over the last couple of years. Who knows what other cool things will grow out of relationships forged at these kinds of events and in-game societies if they're given more attention and support.

When I first heard that Bam was running - thanks to his presence on twitter - I was very surprised, then I pretty much forgot about it and got on with my vacation.
However, now I have been back a few days I have had plenty of time to read and review his platform I can firmly say that I endorse Bam. As a social player and one of the front guys of several in-game communities it would be wrong not too.
Having met Bam and heard his love for the community, and seen all that he does on your behalf, I find myself sold even more. With a true community representative such as Bam on the CSM, the future of EVE will be bright indeed.

When it comes to community, I don't think anyone can argue that Bam isn't in one of the top representative positions for the EVE community and TO the Eve community.

Bam, I'm asking this of most of the candidates whom I support so I wanted to get your feelings on it.
As someone who has played the game for as long as you have and worked on building communities, what are your thoughts on the New Player Experience in EVE? What do you think can be improved upon and adjusted to better incentivize players into subscribing etc.?
One point of contention I have with it is, it does a very poor job introducing and preparing players for the concept of permanent loss when undocked and attacked by other players (or when their ship is destroyed by NPCs). There is also the problem regularly stated that a new player "has no clue what there is to do" when starting out. It could be said this is because the "sandbox gameplay" doesn't open up for the player until several hours into the game and beginners tutorial is completed.

As a fellow Aussie I'm sure you're aware of our daily ritual of getting kicked off the server. Would you consider approaching CCP to have downtime moved back by a few hours so that it falls in China primetime, thus not effecting as many people on Tranq? |

This might be an odd way of answering your question, but tonight on the EVE Down Under Show I had a great deal to say about my opinion of the NPE. Tomorrow once I get the audio of the show in my hands I'll post a link to a Soundcloud of it which should address your question.
Shaun Iwaira wrote:As a fellow Aussie I'm sure you're aware of our daily ritual of getting kicked off the server. Would you consider approaching CCP to have downtime moved back by a few hours so that it falls in China primetime, thus not effecting as many people on Tranq? DT is a big issue for a lot of AUTZ players since it falls during our primetime; something many US and EU TZ players wouldn't appreciate the impact of. Eliminating downtime entirely is probably a pipe dream without some very intensive changes to the core systems of Eve. To that end I don't think it's something we can realistically expect.
However, during EDU2013 CCP Fozzie took a straw poll of people in attendance and in a post-EDU survey I also canvassed the community for their preferences. The general consensus seems to be that moving downtime earlier by 3 hours to 08:00 UTC might be the best outcome for the AUTZ without impacting too much on US and EU.
The result would be thus (local time):
- West coast US would now have DT at midnight - East coast US would now have DT at 3am - West EU would have DT at 9am - Rus (most of them) would now have DT at 11am - And AUTZ would have DT at ~7pm (EST) - meaning that by the time they sat down at the PC after dinner and putting the kids to bed they'd have the entire evening - uninterrupted* - to play internet spaceships with their mates..
An 08:00 UTC DT shouldn't be too terrible for CCP's server teams either.
I won't make some foolhardy statement like promising to get DT moved if I'm on the CSM, but it's something that CCP have inquired about independently which suggests to me they've given it some thought already and as an AUTZ player myself I'm acutely aware of the inconvenivence the current timing of DT causes. I have my preference for when it should be as outlined above, and if there is any opportunity to prosecute that change to CCP you bet I'm going to take it.
* Not factoring in spouse aggro.
