Thats right.
Our very own resident Bronson Hughes should be the next candidate for C&P CSM rep.
Why?
Why not? The guy knows both sides of the coin (PVP/PVE), is trustworthy, and plays for the middle ground in terms of balance.
He has also learned not to click my .gif links INCREDIBLY fast. Smart, too.
+1 for Bronson Hughes, CSM whatevernumberisnext.

I fully endorse this endorsement.
I guess that means I need to work on a platform.
For starters, I'd push for an official CCP-sponsored Thunderdome-style event the magnitude of the AT, but for individual participants. Open to anyone, no requirements for membership in an alliance or corporation.
Everything else I'll start working on and I'm willing to take suggestions.

Another platform item: wardec reform. While I don't claim to have created this particular solution, it's one I back because I feel it makes sense.
I 100% believe that scaling wardec fees that financially punish those who are engaged in very lopsided (i.e. wardeccing a corp smaller than 1/X the size of your corp), very many (more than Y number as aggressor), or very long wardecs (i.e. any wardec longer than Z number of months) would do wonders for hisec.
(X, Y, and Z to be determined.)
I feel that having wardec fees scale in this manner would make it easier for smaller corps to try wardec PvP while still leaving them vulnerable to repercussions and at the same time reign in large corps who wardec everything that moves (which likely discourages player corp formation) while still leaving them able to do so if they're willing to pay.

I think perhaps you misunderstand.
I merely want to know what "do wonders for highsec" means. I've seen you use it more than once, and I'd like to know what that means.

It means to improve upon the current state of the sec zone by a measurable amount.

I'm asking what effects arising from increasing wardec fees would he consider an improvement of highsec. In specific terms, not generalities.

I have a love/hate relationship with hisec. I want to move more players out of hisec to experience more of ehat EvE has to offer (as does CCP), but at the same time I also realize that there's a good chance that a majority of players will only ever want to live in hisec. As such, I see hisec as both vital to the survival of EvE, yet also somewhat stagnant and in need of repair.
To "do wonders for hisec" would mean to make it more interesting for the folks who want to stay, while not so wildly profitable that those who would consider leaving stay because they can safely make more ISK there.
Kaarous Aldurald wrote:...what effects arising from increasing wardec fees would he consider an improvement of highsec. In specific terms, not generalities. One of the things that I think is causing hisec to stagnate is the overabundance of hisec players in NPC corps. I see re-working the wardec system (fees included) as part (and only part mind you) of a process to make joining a player corp more appealing, profitable, yet still vulnerable to wardec. In particular, I see the mass wardeccing of small new-ish corps by large, experienced PvP corps as detrimental to new player corp development.
And that's all I want to say until I've had more time to formulate a position.

Question then. If, as you mentioned, increasing wardec fees would be a start, why would that be preferable to a full rework? I honestly don't trust CCP to follow up by nerfing NPC corps and removing dec dodge in exchange for nerfing wars with increased fees, which would mean that you've just accidentally advocated for a net nerf, and highsec congeals still further.

I share that concern. This is why I think we need someone on the CSM who has hisec and wardecs in mind to keep them to it.
I know that CCP has been all about small, incremental changes lately (except when they're not) and I can understand why. But the problem with incremental change is that it's easy to stop ebfore you're finished. Ideally I'd like a plan in place for all of this (wardec fees, corp changes, hisec income reduction, etc.) before the first change gets made, or to make them all at once.

I agree that highsec conflict needs a CSM member to advocate for us. Our voice is very often ignored, thanks to the various null powers jousting for seats between themselves. But there hasn't been a highsec PvP candidate elected yet. Even Psychotic Monk and Torah Bushido lost out.
Do you think you're electable?

Do you think you're electable? I wouldn't have accepted if I didn't think I was.
I have the benefit of understanding hisec mechanics and...aggressive playstyles like Monk and Tora without the stigma associated with having ganked half of hisec. I play both sides of the hisec game (PvP and PvE), and have zero connections to any nullsec groups so I think I could appeal to a wider audience than past C&P candidates. EDIT: Plus, I'm the reigning Thunderdome champ for what that's worth. I support CCP making solo tournaments a la Thunderdome, and who wouldn't love to see that? (Their enforcement of rules for the current AT notwithstanding. Yikes.)
Admittedly I was skeptical at first, but it makes sense.

Sounds good to me, then. This felt too much like a "sure, **** it!" kind of acceptance at the outset, and I didn't want to throw in with a candidate who wasn't sure himself if he could actually get it done.
You've got my vote(s).

I still think they're one of the best things to happen to hisec in terms of content, well, ever.

The last part goes without saying, and I promise nothing that I can't deliver myself. Put the word out, certainly, but we're still far from election time.
