The Short Version I am officially announcing my candidacy for the 11th Council of Stellar Management. I will be running solely as a reform candidate. If elected I will advocate for sweeping reforms to the CSM, it's relationship dynamics with CCP and the electoral process itself.
The Long Version
~Not Long Ago~ There was a time when I ran as a reformist candidate and was laughed at by the mainstream establishment, one former CSM member even went so far as to compare my reforms to the gestapo. This was a time of great trepidation and ignorance a wellspring of naivety and uncertainty.
~Soon After~ Controversy after controversy rattled the CSM and the eve community. Absentee delegates, NDA Violators and other assorted cloves of drama and dysfunction. Discord and demagoguery reign like a paranoid tyrant.
~Present Day~ The multitudes cry out for reform as the very foundations of the eve community tremble.
Vote XENURIA CSM This wouldn't be a Xenuria thread without a vain selfie so, here.

First off: I somehow like you.
Eventhough i only saw some parts of your extended discussion in corp chat.
You jump to conclusions pretty quick. You get emotional. You get pretty attached to your point of view.
But you don't back off that easily & you certainly don't let others overtalk you.
pretty much the shithead the CSM could realy use.
so eventhough I'm not sure if you're pretty clever or maximum borderline I'll support you.

I first met Xenuria a few years back at a fanfest this one time. I won't go in to that any further, but what I will say is that he has matured greatly in those few years, especially after [REDACTED].
Xenuria will have a top 3 spot on my ballot.

I am mature enough to realize that there are far more important issues at hand than how standings affect vanity items. Please don't throw me in with the grr goons crowd. They don't like me any more than most goons do. I don't agree with everything goons do but I am also not required to agree with everything goons do.
I am an individual that is part of something larger.
I will add that there comes a point in time when all the politics and social maneuvering needs to be put on hold for the betterment of the entire community. The CSM needs reform, the circumstances demand nothing short of nonpartisan collaboration and cooperation.
Those of you who know me in person know that I can be serious when I need to be and this is one of those times. If the CSM is not reformed, if intervention is not undertaken than we may not have a CSM for much longer.

You were Grr Goons though, for a number of years and your platforms were based entirely around it. The only thing that's changed is you were finally allowed to join goons without being purged 5 minutes later.
I don't disagree that the CSM needs reform but simply stating the CSM needs reform is in no way a reason to vote for you, if you could share some of your ideas on HOW you want to reform the CSM then you might be taken a bit more seriously but at the moment you seem a bit flakey as a candidate. |

Ok, I'll bite.
Reform in the context of the CSM would entail overhauling the white paper, installing safety measures, changing the language used when discussing certain topics, advocating and pushing for policy changes that encourage honesty but discourage superficial posturing. I suppose the problem is that when I say Reform I expect people to know what I mean without me having to list any number of things that are reformative.
For me it's sometimes difficult for me to explain what I mean without a specific context. Let me give you an example.
Q What are your reforms? A Uhhh
Q How would you reform the CSM NDA? A I would construct a spanning tree rubric with dates and subject tags that allowed for everybody under NDA to know explicitly what they are and are not allowed to discuss and with whom.
On the subject of Grr goons it's disingenuous to lump me in with that /r/eve grr goons crowd or any grr goons crowd. My primary grievance with goons had nothing to do with anything in a spaceship game and everything to do with my home address and personal information being posted in a CSM thread.

Ok, Lets try a little game of lets be serious. The CSM has had an up and down year, some members have done an amazing job (you know who you are) and some less so (likewise) what reforms do you envisage that would encourage the best of us to apply and give their all, without suffering discouragement, whilst eliminating the wasters and attention seekers and those who just want to ruin the game for the rest of us?

Why do you feel the need to "bite" are you once again labeling me a troll simply because I don't swallow your entire campaign without questions and criticism?
Also assuming everyone will immediately know what you mean when you say things is poor form, sadly nobody has Mind Reading trained to V so we need to have things explained to us and reforming the CSM is something that can happen any number of ways so it's not at all assumed prior knowledge.
I'm looking for specific information on how you plan to overhaul the CSM based on your understanding of how the CSM works, you seem to be assuming that everyone can guess your plan and are instead relying on pretty vague statements. You said it's difficult for you to explain yet you're running your entire campaign on it, a CSM member needs to be articulate and specific and so far you've shown neither. |

I do not see my presence in the alliance as an endorsement of what some members of the alliance say or do. If and when somebody does something that I personally feel is inappropriate or messed up I let it be known. Do to how I am, I don't believe in showing favor to anybody because of rank, social status, influence etc. If a director in the imperium did something really messed up or creepy I would put them on blast.
I feel it's not only possible for people who don't agree on everything to work together, I believe it's essential to the survival of this game.

Answers on a postcard to.... Well here would be a good start.
I think vigilance and oversight are the hallmarks of a good participation system. Obviously there are some aspects of how participation is measured that I am not privy to, that said I have some ideas. When I work on anything as a behavioral consultant or even in security work, I always like to document the time I spend and what I spend it doing. Punch in - Punch out, is simply not sufficient for something like this so I would concoct a To-Doo system that allowed members of the CSM to claim or assign themselves to tasks they felt themselves best suited to. Id Est: CCP has a bunch of gameplay changes/proposals that need to be looked over half are wormholes and the other half have to do with PVE in HS. Member A of the CSM can say "I got the wormhole stuff unless anybody else want's it or wishes to collaborate with me on it." Member E says "I am not that well versed in WH stuff but I know alot about how HS mission runners think, I'll take that part". With a system like this is becomes painfully obvious via data and trends who is just not doing anything. Lauresh Thellere wrote:

If you spent any amount of time actually reading my issues with goons you will find "hate" is not part of them. I feel strongly that hate is counter-productive as emotions go. I often say "Do not hate. Hate is the weapon of the enemy."
As I said earlier in the thread I was never part of the grr goons crowd. I was, and continue to be an individual with legitimate personal stake in matters relating the the goons cultural identity in new eden. This however is not a thread for discussion of social change born within a larger hegemony, this is a thread about my CSM campaign. Please make effort to stay on topic.

With respect, discussing the man campaigning is just as important and "on topic" as discussing the words he writes, you still don't seem to understand that your campaign is about you just as much as your platform.
Ultimately the words you write are worthless if we don't know enough about you as a person and as a candidate. |

Some would contend that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the CSM process, but much like every other facet in the game, it has simply been over gamed by powers that be. What would you say to the idea that the CSM itself does not need reform, rather the spate of player dissatisfaction and seats basically being handed out to large alliances is entirely a player made issue? Be specific, you have been very hand wavy and incredibly vague in your posts so far; is it the election process, or is it the way the council works that is a problem?

There's only one way a GSF member gets elected to CSM: By the grace of ballot positioning. He can afford to be hand wavy & vague because your vote doesn't matter.

What would you say to the idea that the CSM itself does not need reform, rather the spate of player dissatisfaction and seats basically being handed out to large alliances is entirely a player made issue? Be specific, you have been very hand wavy and incredibly vague in your posts so far; is it the election process, or is it the way the council works that is a problem?
Do you have a specific question about my platform? I am not going to argue if the CSM needs reform. All systems capable of growth need reform over time.

Yes. What is your platform? What specifically is wrong that needs reforming, and what do you propose to do about it given the limited role the CSM has?
Also, do you not find it ironic that a goon shill has basically highlighted one of the major issues with the CSM, yet you stand to benefit from it? Can anyone that goons vote for, or is in cahoots with goons, actually represent 'reform' in anyway? This is akin to drinking for sobriety.

So voting for the people that you want to see on the CSM is the major issue with the CSM? Down with Democracy! Also I seem to recall Sion representing reform quite well.
Edit: You really need to look up the definition of a shill.

I do not represent goons and the imperium is not a representation of me or my values. I am an individual who has been trumpeting the cause for CSM Reform for at least 2 years. The imperium is a hegemony, they have absolutely no say in what I do in eve or on the CSM. The Imperium does however, have a vested interest in my success as a reform candidate; as does any eve player who want's eve to thrive.
You have to realize that some issues are more important than flags and social clans. I was a reform candidate long before I was invited to join the imperium. If you are somehow sour that a group you dislike in eve was forward thinking enough to put their ego aside for the greater good than I don't think I can help you.
If you are concerned that my membership in the imperium put's my objectivity at risk, don't be. Brutal, unshakable honesty and integrity is kind of my gimmick. This is a truth that you may not have come to realize yet but others have and that is why despite any differences they may have with me, they support me.

Reform, reform, reform...what exactly do you even mean by that? what are the specific problems you see, etc? I have been asking for a few posts now and you still haven't given me one example of an actual aspect you want to see changed, and why it needs to be addressed. You are literally trying to sell a product to people without telling them what it is. At this point I have literally put more about reforming the CSM into my thread and I'm not even running on that as a thing. Part of being a CSM is communication, both with Devs and with players; can you communicate what you mean by reform? I am curious to know.

I disagree, sir. The Imperium's interests revolve around keeping Eve Online alive. Some of us have been playing since beta, we enjoy the game and we enjoy having a Goon home that is successful. Keeping Eve out of the crapper is exactly what we stand for and yes, we are a bit nationalistic about our organization.
We don't have to do anything on the CSM to win at this game. The sooner you get that, the sooner you understand us. We can work with any game mechanic. We've done so for years. Influencing that is not what the CSM is about. The CSM is about getting the real-use scenarios into CCP's hands and elaborately describing why the mechanic is bad for the player. Bad for the player, not one particular organization. You may remember that we successfully argued for the technetium nerf. We controlled all of the tech at that time through OTEC.
You need to remember why the CSM exists in the first place. It's to keep CCP informed and honest. The CSM was born through scandal, it was never about giving you the voice, but rather to give them a solution to a very angry playerbase. If you don't give them accurate information and analysis, they will have to play their own game and next thing you know, someone will be setting on some rare unobtainable materials...
Xenuria is perfect for the CSM and I support him 110%. He can order the chaos, he can keep people on track. And no one can truly answer the reform question yet. We, as players, know it's broken, but we don't know how many ways it's broken or what it truly takes to fix it. If anyone knew that, it would be fixed already. We need to send a mind that is suited to ordering chaos. This is why I think Xenuria can do the job and why he has my votes.
Where other Goons will tell you that your votes don't matter, I will tell you the opposite. We can only unite as PLAYERS to fix CCP and keep Eve alive. Your votes DO count and use them wisely.
Send Xenuria to Iceland if you want to keep playing this game.

What happened to your last CSM11 thread?
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5615024 for reference. You wanted to make vanity items bought for AUR/PLEX dependent on ingame standing for no obvious reason, and later rejected that you'd do that, yet reiterated that standings should play a role. Before that (CSM10), your CSM candidacy was about 'CSM reform', but in part in the context of removing voting, yet not making the CSM appointed by CCP. You think that voter harassment is a thing that can conceivably happen, and that buying accounts for vote padding happens (Specifically, that the large coalitions did so, and that was partly the reason why you don't get in).
Your reasons to run seems to be mostly about buzzwords, except now you that you have joined the people you hated back in the day, you might conceivably get in. I don't think voting a buzzword-troll (Or idiot, in case you're honest) on the CSM is the right way to go, but maybe the Goons finally got everything they needed from it, and are ready to close it down? |

Typical goon strategy. Their war strategy has always been to never give good fights, instead preferring to only completely steam roll or use weaponzied boredom. In this case I think we are thinking the same thing, where goons wish every voice they cannot get completely lobbying for their empire to be as inarticulate and and ineffectual as possible, effectively giving more power to themselves for lack of an opposition, analogous to the weaponized boredom where they cannot win overwhelmingly.
The goon dream for this CSM is as many carrier politicians as can be ballot stuffed into power, and as many candidates that cannot operate effectively, giving them a total monopoly on player voice, despite the fact such people are not actually players like you and I; they are politicians, what business do they have voicing players like us?

Forgive me but I really don't see how this conspiracy has any root in reality. Goons and The Imperium seem more interested in EvE Online not dying from my perspective. There have been no closed doors to me since my entry into the hegemony. Nobody has denied me information or access of any kind and profound trust has been placed in me as a consultant and an adviser to a wide range of matters. If there was any grand conspiracy the chances are I would have stumbled across it by now.
That said, goons do have a spotty past when it comes to eve online but just the same could easily be said of their greatest enemies. Let us not forget Band of Brothers and the very corruption and scandal that necessitated the birth of the CSM.
Put down the torches and pitchforks, if there was something within goons remotely resembling the conspiratorial pipe dreams concocted by Gevlon and the likes of him; I would be the first person to stand on a box and holler about it.

a) it's not a conspiracy (Though you did a nice strawman of the argument); b) it's a hard sell to ask us to trust you and Goons, when you're a sellout, liar and buzzword politician; c) I don't think the argument against you is any Goon conspiracy, since there are plenty of reasons to discount you as a viable representative (Among others, you're either barking mad or intentionally acting like an obtuse and megalomaniacal joke candidate to troll). |

I think there is a crucial piece of logic missing from your Master Stroke~.
Without eve online, there is no space empire.
To the best of my knowledge there is no "Content Rationing" happening in The Imperium. I have never seen anybody stop somebody from participating in a fleet op by saying "Woah there buddy haven't you had a little too much content today? Sit this one out."

They don't need EvE Online to persist once they have cashed in their shares of website ad revenue or kickstarters. You have a very naive understanding of high level Goonery.
Of course content is rationed, very carefully, very calculatingly. They keep perfect stasis on 2/3 of the map such that there cannot be a reasonable threat to their security. EvE is supposed to be about vibrant, Byzantine empires rising and falling on the fickle whims of very human gods; capsuleers. Any empire purely devoted to maintaining the past status quo in it's entirely is an empire in decline, yet they are happy to see such a gradual decline in the game and their empire so long as it feeds more than their in game wallets.
Give KarmaFleet some FCs, have them toss cheap, disposable fleets around with no consequence, and their fresh crop of newbies is placated and mollified. They are rationed out cheap, meaningless content - gone is the gravity of actual fights, over things that may have meaning. They fed a two-bit propaganda stream about 'Our People' and how joining the Imperium is 'Winning', when in all actuality, it is losing by essentially removing all of the chips from the table; what fun is gambling, risking, and playing, when all of these are removed and all conflict is sport with no gravitas?
This is the status quo they want to preserve, and content rationing is quite effective at it.

I've been subbed nonstop since 2011. Quazerknocks is a real thing - Lazerhawks, Hard Knocks, and the remnants of Quantum Explosion have banded together to push everyone else out of C6 Magnetar space and succeeded, then have proceeded to set up renters/alts in those systems to farm the sites.

They are rationed out cheap, meaningless content - gone is the gravity of actual fights, over things that may have meaning. They fed a two-bit propaganda stream about 'Our People' and how joining the Imperium is 'Winning', when in all actuality, it is losing by essentially removing all of the chips from the table; what fun is gambling, risking, and playing, when all of these are removed and all conflict is sport with no gravitas?
This is the status quo they want to preserve, and content rationing is quite effective at it.
My content isn't rationed :colbert:
I know you think "you've seen both sides" but you are really talking out of your rear end on this subject. You are literally arguing with Xenuria and looking like the crazy one.

Yeah I did that. So your relevant parts:
"Reform in the context of the CSM would entail overhauling the white paper, installing safety measures, changing the language used when discussing certain topics, advocating and pushing for policy changes that encourage honesty but discourage superficial posturing. I suppose the problem is that when I say Reform I expect people to know what I mean without me having to list any number of things that are reformative.
For me it's sometimes difficult for me to explain what I mean without a specific context. Let me give you an example.
Q What are your reforms? A Uhhh
Q How would you reform the CSM NDA? A I would construct a spanning tree rubric with dates and subject tags that allowed for everybody under NDA to know explicitly what they are and are not allowed to discuss and with whom. "
1. Overhauling the white paper.
In what way?
2. Installing Safety Measures.
Such as?
3. Changing the language used when discussing topics.
Changing the language from what to what?
4. Advocating policies that encourage honesty but discourage superficial posturing.
"discourage superficial posturing"...could start with your posts.

I've been liken to Xenuria in the way I engage people in this game and how I come off and I've been banned from PL services just like him. Probably also because I've been told I have the aura of Digi. Which I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing as my rl background is similar to his. Anyways my point of views, the way I fairly assess and conduct myself in Eve and put people straight on blast as needed.. No matter who they are in game are similar to Xenuria. We need this for the CSM, very badly. I will have all my votes for Xenuria. I will champion him thru my alliance to look past his alliance affiliation and vote for him. Anyone who knows Xenuria knows that he doesn't sell out and there is no changing him, you simple love or hate and he's really hard to hate. If you do hate him I would say your a bandwagoning circle jerk mindless fool who can't think for themselves and allow others to influence your views on someone you never got to know. Get to know Xenuria, try to understand him, and see that he is what the playerbase deserves and needs.

Being blue to the majority of null is rationing the content available to your members.

The Goons do have a vested interest in seeing the game thrive however they do often get to the point where they want CCP to do something and CCP doesn't want to (or doesn't want to yet) so the goons manipulate the feature until they make their point and CCP fix it.
Xenuria is the CFC "burn it to the ground" method as they've given up trying to get CCP to listen and are now trying to force CCP's hand.

If I understand you correctly: I am bad because I am in goons. Goons are bad because they ration content. You can tell they are rationing content because you know and have seen things~ You also have knowledge of how Sov Should~ Be and your way is the right way.

In other words, we can actually identify possibilities as to why you might become an official Goon candidate, and neither are good for the game or the CSM. Paraphrasing from a former Goon CEO, you're not out to ruin the game, you're out to ruin our game. |

Back when I did ask specific questions, you ignored them, so though it's a nice dodge, it doesn't really work for someone with your record.
But if you want to, you can take a look at this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5615024#post5615024 and see if you're even able to answer those (The CSM-reform question is obviously in the context of that iteration of your candidacy).
I'm not really expecting any answer, since any answer at all requires your platform to have any substance. I've been following the CSM elections for a while now, and I'm fairly sure you're not one of the substantive candidates, not now and not back when your curtains were the best pro for your candidacy. |

Not the candidate, but as someone relatively knowledgeable wrt w-space, I'd say that w-space in general is actually in a pretty good spot, aside from a large Russian carebear coalition being in control of all of the best C6 space. Most wormhole players, as far as I am aware, are content with the content available in w-space and would much rather CCP leave w-space well enough alone. Also, in regards to the topic at hand, I support Xenuria's CSM campaign both for his desire to reform the CSM to be more effective a tool for CCP and players alike, as well as his desire for nicer shoes and some goddamn headgear in EVE. Clearly you must have just resubbed to this game..... Russian Carebear Coalition??? Whatever. the only thing that even keeps Russians living in W-space is the TZ. No one likes shooting towers after DT. The Only true statement you said in your post. "...Xenuria...[is an] effective tool...." Honestly, If you want a slobbering idiot sitting on the CSM "representing" us.... Then a vote for Xenuria is the choice. I honestly can't wait for when Xenuria decides to make the rounds and does interviews. Pure gold. Requoting so this gets in page 3, and I might get an answer from the candidate. What are the current issues with wormhole space, Xenuria? Please keep on topic. If you want to ask about wormholes than ask a candidate who is running on a wormhole platform.
On topic: And what would your platform be? Would you be so kind to put it in, like, 5 (more or less) clear points!? |

So, basically you have 2 complete sentences written by yourself in OP, excluding some history lesson, about what you want to accomplish if elected and you can't or won't put forth anythin more meaningfull than vague "reforms" buzzwords.
Let's try a different approach then:

Xenuria and I haven't seen eye to eye in years past. I have blasted him on podcasts and in these very forums. However, while he was in KarmaFleet, I got to listen to the man behind the character. Hes actually a decent person, and a very good troll.
I welcome his candidacy for CSM 11.

CSM reform is needed, given that every one of the last 10 councils has had similar patterns of communications issues with CCP and/or NDA-related drama.
However, my own experience on the CSM plus observable history suggests that a CSM reform platform is likely to get at best a tiny slice of time from the scant few devs who oversee/manage the CSM project. If you can't get any attention from them or other council members on your CSM reform issues, what game-related expertise do you bring to the party so that you can be an actively contributing council member the rest of the time?

But back then, the answer was that Xenuria would listen to the other CSM people on such subjects.
Of course, Xenurias election threads are always a laugh to read through. For example, Xenuria thought that being placed on the bottom of a ballot, compared to not being on a ballot at all, can hurt a candidates chances (Xenuria also thought that any null-sec coalition had placed him on their ballots, but that is likely born out of ignorance of the voting system, to explain why a complete joke and failure like him can't be elected by its own rights - it hurts his ego to have it evaluated by meeting reality), or that CFC candidates have been in majority for years, or that 90% of his voter base is female... or plenty of other idiotic things. And he must know he's lying, because he gives sources that clearly does not say what he lies about all the time.
The only thing in this that surprises me is that GSF have decided to allow him in, and now some Goons say that they'll support him. If Xenuria gets elected, it's because he joined those who have been his "best" argument for reform (Namely that the many, organised votes of the CFC gets results in elections). I find it hilarious that Xenuria, in order to get elected, joins those who he earlier said he'd fight against, simply because they have the organisation that can get people elected irregardless of a candidates actual appeal or abilities! |

Solid Question.
I have a really good understanding of player behavioral patterns when it comes to PVE and the value of vanity items. I have lived in high sec space for extended periods of time and learned a great deal about the mentality of players there. I think if at any point CSM/CCP discussions had to do with psychology or behavioral analysis of a particular aspect of game-play, I would be able to contribute insights in a meaningful way.

But back then, the answer was that Xenuria would listen to the other CSM people on such subjects. Edit: Here are the relevant quotes, all are visible on page 14:
Quote:Xenuria 1. I am not very experienced with Cloaking or Camping so I would defer to somebody who was.
Quote:Kiryen O'Bannon Finally, one other question - obviously the CSM will not spend all of its time on your issues. What do you plan to advocate for when not dealing with CSM-selection-related items?
Quote:Xenuria I am happy to do whatever else needs doing. The rest of the thread is still hilarious. Xenuria has perfected the art of not answering questions - several RL politicians could look at this and learn something from it!Of course, Xenurias election threads are always a laugh to read through. For example, Xenuria thought that being placed on the bottom of a ballot, compared to not being on a ballot at all, can hurt a candidates chances (Xenuria also thought that any null-sec coalition had placed him on their ballots, but that is likely born out of ignorance of the voting system, to explain why a complete joke and failure like him can't be elected by its own rights - it hurts his ego to have it evaluated by meeting reality), or that CFC candidates have been in majority for years, or that 90% of his voter base is female... or plenty of other idiotic things.

"E" for effort but the comments you find such a laugh to read through were written by a young person roughly six years ago. People--especially at Xenuria's age then--tend to mature and change for the better over such a long time. Might be an idea to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one, don't crucify him for mistakes or questionable behavior that occurred in ancient history, and confine your assessment of his candidacy to his current platform and how he conducts himself in the here and now.
That said, in reference to his six year old comments, I'm willing to believe that as a CSM he'll still be on board with listening to more knowledgeable others on given topics and will energetically pitch in where he has skills and knowledge to apply. As for his social interaction skills and ability to collaborate effectively, he seems to be aware of his own shortcomings. Hopefully if (when?) he is elected, he will make an honest effort to be a productive CSM and his fellow council members and CCP will make an honest effort to work with him rather than simply dismiss him.
Does this mean I plan to vote for him? Probably not...he doesn't need my vote to get elected. And hey, he might end up being a terrible CSM; I can't predict the future and I've been *very* wrong about some past candidates. However, I happen to believe that everyone deserves respectful consideration based on current and relevant information, including Xenuria.

Besides, Xenuria ran for the first time way back, and so must be 21 + the years since then.
Quote:Might be an idea to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one, don't crucify him for mistakes or questionable behavior that occurred in ancient history, and confine your assessment of his candidacy to his current platform and how he conducts himself in the here and now. When someone hasn't changed, and still advocate the same idiotic ideas as 1, 2, 3 or more years ago, there's not really any doubt.
Quote:I'm willing to believe that as a CSM he'll still be on board with listening to more knowledgeable others on given topics and will energetically pitch in where he has skills and knowledge to apply. So Xenuria will pitch in at no time during his CSM tenure, and will always listen to the other CSM members? Then why have him there?
Quote:As for his social interaction skills and ability to collaborate effectively, he seems to be aware of his own shortcomings. You seem to have skipped both this, his old CSM11 and his CSM10 threads. Check out his history and you'll confirm that Xenurias issues aren't just social interaction, it's also megalomania and a messiah complex, plus inability to ever listen to criticism or answer questions. A lot of other people tried to help him in CSM10/11 (And probably even earlier, but I can't quite remember), but were written off as trolls. I still don't get why they ever tried to improve Xenurias campaign since I find it futile, but they made an honest effort. No self-reflection from Xenuria so far.
Quote:Hopefully if (when?) he is elected, he will make an honest effort to be a productive CSM and his fellow council members and CCP will make an honest effort to work with him rather than simply dismiss him. Xenuria is either a troll candidate or a deluded idiot. It's not really viable to work with him in either scenario.
(I got to the quote limit) "I happen to believe that everyone deserves respectful consideration based on current and relevant information, including Xenuria." As do I. It's just that Xenuria doesn't look too well in such a comparison either, and if CFC leadership really does endorse him, he stands a real chance of getting in. That makes it less fun to watch his CSM threads than it was in other years, where it was an absolute trainwreck you could enjoy whenever you had spare time. |

Absolute reading fail on my part ... somehow I misread "CSM10" as "2010" and did stupidmath. I still stand by my statement that people can change for the better and we should focus on the now and be willing to acknowledge positive change when we see it.

While I agree that people can change, I'm not convinced Xenuria has changed enough to actually be a valued and constructive member of the CSM. I have the fear that Xenuria will do what Xenuria does and dwell on trivial issues that nobody other than he cares about and will just **** off CCP due to him refusing to let it go when they say no. His last trivial issue was high heels or something and he abused the CCP staff member on livestream.
Xenuria absolutely has the passion needed for a CSM member but his passion is quite often misdirected to trivial issues and he refuses to accept any questions or criticism instead labelling those people as trolls. I myself have been labelled as a troll by Xenuria for asking honest questions about his campaign.
Edit: Apparently CCP are trying to get an E rating for their forums and have censored out some of the most basic of english words. |

The CSM needs changes for sure. When i first came to this topic i got actually hooked and thougth this would be the person to vote for. Sadly while moving thru the last 5 pages , i only saw you basically avoiding all secific questions on how you actually in detail want to reform it. This leads me to the belive that your one of the ppl that only scream loudly but have actualy no real clue of the inner workings inside the CSM.
Dont come at me with read page 1. Your campaigning for a CSM seat to Focus on a specifc task during your CSM period. So give us some informations. Tell me what Kind f precesses are in the CSM , how they are currently working , and on which points you see potentional for Change.

"no clue of the inner workings"
You are 100% correct. This is because there is something called an NDA or Non-disclosure agreement that all members of the CSM agree too. This means individuals who are not on the CSM are not privy to insider information. It's silly to accuse me or being intentionally vague when I have the same amount of access to information that you or any other player does. I am no a psychic I can't read minds and I don't have a deep cover infiltrator inside CCP.
So please, let's be reasonable.
This is not a platform about something all players have granular and specific information about. This isn't about wormholes or sov or minning or pve. This is a reform platform which means there are black boxes and unknowns.

So, xenuria.
You want me (amongst others) to send you to Iceland so that you can "reform" the CSM?
When you were asked to define "reform", you decided to define the word "reform" and not how you would reform the process.
I've read through your thread, and you know what? No, I won't be voting for you. There are too many smart mouthed politicians in real life without adding you to the list.
Come up with some actual reforms to the CSM, and how you would change EVE for the better.

- How do you think they would react to pink ships?
- Do you think that Walking in Stations and other "Barbie doll" development would attract more females to the game?
- Do you think that CCP will ever pick up WiS and run with it again, such as integrating Dust social areas into stations or even implement a few things smaller like inviting a friend or two to your Captain's Quarters?
- Do you think that CCP would ever make an overt stand for LGBT (assuming budget and staff are available) and implement the cosmetics in the above questions?

If so, have your reform plans changed since then, or are they still the same "Gestapo"-type ideas?
Quote:Controversy after controversy rattled the CSM and the eve community. Can you specifically list a few of those controversies, especially the CSM-rattling kind for those of us who were not playing then, and let us know how you would go about avoiding incidents like that in the future?
And something you did not mention in your original post. Do you think the CSM has any kind of power or influence on anything these days? If yes, could you define that kind of influence for those who may not know the ins and outs of space politics and give a few recent examples where the CSM did anything?
If no, do you think you can change that, and how? |

I was having a rather awkward conversation with a former member of the CSM in the basement of the celtic cross in iceland. I proposed the idea of term limits and a system to kick involuntary people and she told me my proposals were "gestapo-esk". She has some rather strong opinions and she is perfectly entitled to those opinions.
We now have a system to kick people who are asleep at the wheel and while term limits aren't a policy I don't think they will need to be at this juncture.

So, does that mean the reforms you are proposing without laying them out in detail have already happened? |

Many of things I have pushed for in the past ended up just getting implemented when CCP Seagull took the reigns as executive producer. So yea it can be kinda funny or unnerving when your ~master stroke~ that you have had on the back burner for half a year becomes to focal point of a rising star's new game design narrative.
The next logical step was reform because it's not within CCP's Decision tree or behavioral norm to do that unless prompted too. Some things have already happened, but as the result of player actions; not development practices.
Once inside the CSM, I will have the data I need to bring about reform.

I've read through your thread, and you know what? No, I won't be voting for you. There are too many smart mouthed politicians in real life without adding you to the list.
Come up with some actual reforms to the CSM, and how you would change EVE for the better. Gåæ THIS Gåæ

Sure.
I feel that what a person wants to do should be more important to their candidacy than what ticker is under their name. I think grudge matches between people of different space flags have a place in eve, that place is just not here. I am a member of the imperium but I do not feel that should be a factor that determines who will or will not vote for me.
I have hidden my corp and alliance ticker because in my view, it simply has no place here in this thread and if elected should stay hidden. This is a personal choice, not something that all candidate should be forced to do.

You still have not answered my question. If you are going to make a statement or accusation against somebody, you should be ready to defend it. A certain former member of the imperium made that mistake recently and it cost him.

The fact that you refer to your masters as, "The Imperium" is seen as an insult by most.
Merriam Webster defines Imperium as:
1 : supreme power or absolute dominion : control
2 : the right to command or to employ the force of the state : sovereignty
That's how you see yourselves, as Master's of the Universe.
Most players simply view you as glorified bullies and descendants of BoB.
No Vote.

I have no masters. The imperium and it's directorate are not in charge of me, they do not order, command or demand anything of me. I am not a servant, or an employee of goons. The notion you are attempting to perpetuate is that I am some sort of plant or goon shill that will only ever perform functions for my "masters". This is a very silly notion as you yourself pointed out by referencing my corp history.
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize"
I have no gods, no masters. Even the most basic research of my history in eve online will show you that.

The perspective is really different from this side of the culture wall. As I have said in previous posts addressing this sort of question; goons haven't made or forced me to do anything. A ballot for the entire imperium is made at some point but nobody is going to be kicked from the alliance if they don't vote accordingly.

Literally the worst "Vote for me" announcement for CSM XI. You're pretty much the Donald Trump of Eve, entertainment for the uneducated masses but pretty much the worst possible candidate if actually elected. The day someone as emotional as Xenuria gets a seat on the CSM is the day I unsub my accounts and go play Entropia Universe again. So good luck, get rekt and do the community a favor, uninstall Eve, biomass yourself and go play World of Warcraft instead. |

Not a weapon as much as a way to punish the rest of the CSM members and any CCP employees who have to deal with you. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you, since we know you're a dishonest to the core, willing to join any organisation just to get within grasp of a CSM seat and entirely unable to lay out your platform in any coherent fashion. The problems you try to claim are in need of reform are the same problems you reject explaining.
Voting you in is tantamount to asking for the CSM to be abolished. You're not just a joke but also, as Jenshae intends to use you, a tool to inflict pain and suffering.
The two positive things about you are that you're great fun to observe, and you make other people seem like perceptive geniuses by comparison.
@Jenshae have you unblocked me? I'd really like to answer your EVE-mail, but it's kind of hard when you throw a temper tantrum like a 3-year-old. |

You're the best kind of political entertainment. It's all the joys of watching a campaign of conspiracy nuts, added with the excitement that they might get in (Granted, a position on which I've changed my mind after seeing how little power the CSM has), but minus the fear of them mucking it all up. It's like certain US candidates, just virtual and without consequences. Please do continue. You never cease to amuse and amaze me.
There is no conspiracy here... I have already addressed assertions that one existed.

All the other times you've asked me to prove it I have done so, and you have ignored it each time. Is it going to be any different this time? No, of course not. A worthless messiah-complex (Or troll) candidate like you won't, because reading enough of it to comprehend it might ruin your bubble of self-delusion (Or not be fun, if you're just a troll). I'll still give a list of links (Not quotes, though, since closed threads, character limits and quote limits makes such an effort too much work), so that anyone who follows along can see what a dishonest, megalomaniacal career-politician you are.
IN THIS (YOUR CURRENT) CSM11 THREAD: I ask a question about your last CSM11 thread, that you then do not answer though you quote parts of it and the following discussion, but when I call you out on it, you ask if I have any specific questions. I repeat those questions (And Seraph also asks for a reply to his questions), but you ignore that and instead answer a potential voter with one of the blandest answers I've seen in a long time (Mind you, politics is what I do and study, I've seen a lot of politician-talk, and yours takes the cake). I call you out on your refusal to answer my questions, and you ask for proof that you're lying (See a pattern?), at which point I repeat that I quoted that exact evidence earlier, but you never addressed it. You admit that you have no clue, or, as Seraph puts it, "We have to vote the bill in before we know what it says". As Neuntausend astutely points out, we have to believe that a person that can't put together a platform shall, once elected, be able to produce a reform (And let's remind ourselves that your earlier attempt at that feat was to literally define reform - we might as well elect a dictionary!) that will work and improve the CSM and be agreeable to CCP. That's a tall order even for a master diplomat, and an impossible one for someone with your qualifications. You also claim that you don't think your CFC membership can influence you (And clarify it at length later), and that you will call out any CFC wrongdoing. This is contradicted by your earlier "campaigns", as we shall note later. You claim that you have prioritised legitimate questions, but as we have seen, you don't even answer easy questions by potential voters, and classify any hard question as not legitimate.
IN YOUR EARLIER CSM11 THREAD: First, I like how you posted your CSM11 thread directly after losing the CSM10 election, and with a one of the least relevant platforms in a long time, but still manage to make it probably your best CSM OP/platform posts (As Malcanis also notes on first page). However, there were still a number of questions unanswered from your last CSM campaign thread, so I quote the relevant parts, but like we're all used to, you refuse to answer even easy questions (And those would have been easy unless you were a lying sack of fill-in-the-blanks). As is your MO, you try to deflect any questions with allegations that others can't stay on topic, and then promptly fails at your own platform and basic understanding of microtransactions, EVE and the meaning of words (Again, a dictionary would be better than you).

So far I haven't had any issues with karmafleet or goonswarm. Everybody has been really nice to me.
As I have said before depth at this juncture is somewhat difficult because there is information I simply don't have access too.

Yeah, but you could at least extrapolate potential avenues of reform, even if you don't have all of the information; in fact, you'd be wise to do just that, in order to be as prepared as possible if the time ever comes for you to attend the CSM.
However, seeing as you just rudely ignored my question and instead responded to the poster below me asking about Goonswarm, you can count my vote out. I was on the fence, thinking that you might bring an element of randomness to the proceedings, but based on your behaviour to me and several other people in this thread, I don't think so now. I know my vote doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but it is my vote and I choose not to expend it on you.

Tbh, what do you expect? Of course he is not answering! That guy hasn't the slightest clue and is nothing more than Mittens court jester. To be brutally frank, if that guy is elected into the CSM, i really hope it doesn't take long until he's removed by CCP. Otoh, after the shyteshow that has been CSM X, CCP should just disband it and be done with it.

I think many of the problems sion, sugar, sort and others faced were the result of mismanagement on part of CCP, couple that with communication break downs and have you a recipe for disaster. CCP appears legitimately interesting in salvaging relations as they have put new people in charge of the CSM and made assurances of civility.
If by some misfortune remnants of these problems exist, I am a very enduring and persistent individual. I can handle being berated and insulted by people I look up too. I won't be a better CSM than sion or anybody. I will be a different kind of CSM.
I think even my worst detractors would agree that different~ is preferred at this juncture.

Xenuria,
Here's an easy question for you:
Quote: Assume for a moment that you have infinite optimal range and you have two targets to choose from: The first target has a transverse velocity of 400m/s and a signature radius of 60m. A second target has a transverse velocity of 800m/s and a signature radius of 120m. Which target would you have a greater chance to hit?

As a CSM member you have the opportunity to let CCP know how players think about issues and where they should put their priorities. That's why you need to be open for discussions, active on social media, etc. And together you try to find the best solution by discussing the problems. For this you need a good Eve background or else you're kid preaching to the teachers.

Since I can't force CCP to reprimand people for leaking, I can only change systems in such a way that the leaker is more obvious. I'd have to see how they have all their stuff configured but it's easy enough to put something like that in place.
I think re-tooling is part of reform just as much as drawing up new ways of doing things is.

What if I gave you another clue to make it easier. You can assume that both targets are at the same distance. I have revised the wording of the question above. Good luck.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Xenuria, I wasn't able to find a CSM11 interview you have done, only older irrelevant ones from previous CSM campaigns. Did you do a CSM11 interview somewhere and I just didn't find it? I did find your youtube channel, though. Cool that you fight for Vanu!

I did text interviews with eve NT and I did the vote match thing. If you are looking for video I was on the most recent meta shoe. https://www.twitch.tv/themittanidotcom/v/54050354

I've always tossed you a few votes because, who doesn't love the village idiot?
This year will be no different.
Mr Epeen
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

Is a vote for Xenuria still a vote for highly textured shoes? Because this is what people really care about.

Joining the biggest organised voting bloc in the game and sucking enough up to the leaders of said bloc (Or being exploitable enough for their purposes) to be put on the ballot isn't really your work, though. Someone else did that work for you.
As you obviously are too deluded to realise (Messiah-complex and all), you didn't win because of your causes. You don't have any. You won because you can be a tool for the CFC leadership, and if one should make a bet, it would be that getting you on the CSM will close that institution down, either de facto or de jure, since it has ceased to be a meaningful platform for the CFC. Despite your personality, your (lack of) qualifications, your insanity and your self-absorption, you got elected.
Someone in the CFC hierarchy decided to remake you, from a joke to a weapon. What made you the joke candidate everyone enjoyed before, has now become a joke on us. The question is, who will wield you, and who will you be pointed at? |
