Why am I running for re-election for the Council of Stellar Management (CSM) 7?
CCP is a much changed company from what it was a year ago, but we still have a lot of work to do. If I am reelected to the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), I will continue to fight tirelessly for the changes you demand. Last yearGÇÖs CSM built bridges and tore down walls, and IGÇÖm proud to have played a crucial role in serving the EVE community. The results of our work is obvious GÇô increased dev blogs, more dev activity on Twitter and other social media, video dev blogs and a renewed commitment from CCP to ITERATE on spaceships while they sort out a better way to do space dolls properly.
Continuing to improve on the communication and accountability processes between the players and the developers will be essential in the success of the next CSM. As someone that has been passionately involved from both sides of the fence for more than eight years, I have proven I can do this very effectively.
As a Game Designer at CCP for more than three years, I watched from the inside as the CSM grew from an experiment into something that is now one of the most powerful, driving forces for change in the direction of EVE Online. Last year, I ran for CSM 6 and was elected with 3,813 votes, the second most votes. I need your help to keep the torches burning and the pitchforks held high!
The term GÇÿbitter vetGÇÖ is tossed around a lot, but imagine it from the side of someone that actually worked on the game and, over and over, saw months of effort wrecked in a matter of weeks due to mismanagement, misunderstanding and just plain short-sightedness. This was the same idiocy and disconnect with the player base that gave us invulnerable starbases in Sov 4 and area of effect (AoE) Titan doomsdays.
CCPGÇÖs pattern of short-sightedness is a cause of near daily frustration, and I never waste an opportunity to preach about it to the other CSM members or the player base at large. It is a big part of what drove me to run for CSM 6 and something I plan to focus on in CSM 7. CCP is working toward un-******* all of this, and I want to make damn sure I am in a position to help keep them focused.
Ultimately, I believe that every EVE player, from the most bitter vets to the most happy carebears, all want the same thing - a fun and balanced game to play. While my preferred play style may be making people explode and cry, I have a broader perspective because of the work I did on EVE as a dev. I want to see everyone have an equally enjoyable game experience whatever their play style. Having worked in game design for more than three years at CCP, I've had to apply creative thinking to a variety of play styles. I love that EVE is hard and fun and rewarding. When you login it should say "This is EVE. You've been warned." That's the kind of game we all started playing and that is the game I want EVE to be again.
My Goals as a member of CSM 7
EVE ONLINE - ITERATIONS was the cornerstone of my CSM 6 campaign, and I intend to continue with that mantra. To me, EVE Online has always been a game about spaceships.
To quote myself in a blog I wrote recently: "A lot of people asked me why I was running for CSM when I had already worked at the company. You know who didn't ask me? The people still working at the company.GÇ¥
Here is another blog entry that might shed some light as well: CSM vs. CCP Employee
Many think the CSM is some sort of silly propaganda machine, but, having been on both sides of the table, I can say that I wouldn't invest my time into the CSM if that were true. As an employee, there are rules of interaction that you have to follow and you have to watch that you are not stepping too far outside of the box. We CSM members just have to make sure we don't say 'secret stuff.' The number of CCP employees who have approached CSM6 members at summits, in Reykjavik bars, or daily on Skype tells me that we have made a positive impact. I'm of the firm opinion that the CSM has and can continue to make a difference.
What did I do at CCP?
IGÇÖve heard many space friends and colleagues point to Apocrypha as an example of a great expansion. Right now, with the amount of resources that have been refocused on EVE, there is the potential for an 'Apocrypha' nearly every three months. That's not bullshit; it's actually possible due to the fact that there is literally five times the number of teams working on EVE today as there were a few months ago. The actual content of what is to come is certainly going to be the subject of many CSM and CCP chats, but it will be your influence in those chats as we continually improve our channels of communication.
My main priority will continue to be pushing for the iteration and balancing of current features. I want to see new content as well, but iteration of the current game play will continue to guarantee new content as part of the process. The immediate future looks good and we should do everything we can to use this opportunity to help get the game to where we want it to be.
Crucible was a good start, but imagine where EVE might be today had all of the art and technical resources for Incarna been put toward sovereignty iteration, Factional Warfare expansion, a low sec makeover, industrial balancing and other every day feature iteration.
I am not interested in more new, incomplete stuff - I want the stuff we have now to be complete and work properly first! Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

EVE Online - Who am I?
I started playing EVE in Beta 6, back in early 2003. I have had at least one active EVE account from the week the servers went live until today. In that time, I've played EVE at every conceivable level. My most well-known role is as CEO of Body Count Inc. and founder and leader of the old and infamous Mercenary Coalition alliance. From November 2006 until February 2010, I worked at CCP as a game designer as CCP Abathur. Some of you may remember me as the guy behind wormholes.
Additionally, I have been the CEO of one of the largest Industrial corps in the game and also coordinated the activities of several smaller industrial corporations. I have done industrial work involving dozens of T2 BPOs and coordinated logistics for outpost and super capital construction. Although I am quite wealthy today, I mined Omber in a Punisher for two weeks to earn the ISK for my first cruiser BPO.
In my time as a player I've made several videosand written several well-known war reports. I've known the joys of wiping out capital fleets and killing titans; I know the pain of losing the same. I have seen all the highs and lows that EVE has to offer and my passion for the game still burns brightly.
Some may point to my affiliation with Pandemic Legion as a detriment (blowing up a lot of dudes tends to create a few enemies), however Elise Randolph will be PLGÇÖs primary candidate. My platform is a bit more diverse and open. Consider that I have led my corporation for more than eight years, but less than one 1/8 of that time has been spent in PL. Let me assure you that no one in EVE, much less PL, has any leverage over me. I've played for too long and seen EVE through too many eyes to be easily influenced. My opinions are formed based upon years of involvement from both sides of the table, player and dev.
As a member of CSM 6, I have consistently been one of the most approachable and reasonable of your elected representatives. My blog has consistently been one of the main sources of information about the CSM summits until the release of the official minutes. I make it a point to try to answer every eve mail I receive and follow up on issues to the best of my ability.
At the end of the day, I am one of you and I want to take my experience as a player and a former dev back to Iceland as a member of CSM 7. Give me one more year and I will continue to work tirelessly to keep CCP on a path that improves EVE for more than just one area of the game!
IRL - Who am I?
My name is Mark Heard. I am 38 years old, married with a family, and split my time between homes in the United States and Germany. I was a member of the United States Army for four years before going to work for the U.S. Department of Defense for several years. In late 2006, I was hired as a Game Designer at CCP, a job I held until February of 2010 when I resigned to return to work in the Defense industry. I am now a small business owner in the United States with real estate interests in Germany.
I don't care about free trips to Iceland. I've had plenty of those when I worked at CCP. I don't care about getting a job there because... done that! I'm doing this because I want to build on the progress that CSM 6 made and take it to the next level. I believe that my experience as a former employee and my tenure in CSM 6 combined with my passion for what makes EVE Online unique in the gaming world can be a potent combination in representing the interests of the community.
Maintaining and improving the communication process with the people at CCP who will listen can only have a net positive effect on any future interactions. As evidenced by the results of the work done in CSM 6, who you vote for in this next election is very important. IGÇÖve been on the front lines of all of these issues for a lot longer than just my CSM 6 term.
Make your vote count by putting it in for someone who knows how to fight these battles, understands when and how the mistakes were made and most importantly, someone that knows how CCP works and how to get them to do what's needed!

Mark/Seleene worked hard on CSM6 and was a key element in its success.
A vote for Seleene will not be wasted. The only way to make it count for more would be to vote for that Trebor fellow. Re-Elect Trebor to the CSM - because I have not yet plumbed the depths of my inherent masochism!

Not everyone seems to think so - Lowsec Survey GÇô First Impressions
You say, "more iteration resulting in nothing." I'm not quite sure what iteration you're referring to as there hasn't been any yet. That was pretty much the entire point of getting CCP to shift gears late last year. If you've read the meeting minutes from the last summit or kept up with any of the latest news about the direction CCP is headed this year, then I think you'd see that a lot of progress has been made in getting them to shift their resources to looking at these issues.

Easily one of the best CSM representatives yet.
Vast EVE Experience, knowledge of it's mechanics, knowledge of how CCP works, with the ability to know how to get stuff achieved and how to bend dev's ears to actually listen.
CSM this last year has been the best yet, and while most deserve some credit, Seleene has been one of the critically important members in driving CCP to turn EVE back into the amazing game it should be for ALL players.

Clearly Seleene work on CSM6 was above and beyond outstanding.
It's in the entire game community best interest that his work continues, not only to get things "fixed" to also to make sure CCP stays in the current path, actually listening to player base.

OK, so Seleene said I should get on here and at least flame him to get the thread bumped. So here goes ...
There's a bunch of people you ~could~ vote for, some of them very good, and some of them excruciatingly bad. The days of the CSM being a free trip to Iceland for the price of writing a couple of dodgy blog posts and a single issue thread on the forums are long gone.
CSM6 proved the power of the CSM. But to make it really work we need good people, with good communication skills and knowledge of both the Player Community and the CCP corporate organisation. Seleene, Mittens and Trebor were the three standout candidates on the CSM this year.
Seleene's platform of "Iteration" is the direction that everyone who play's Eve should want CCP to go. That means CCP fixes what is broken and improves what could be better - no matter whether its Hi-Sec, Lo-Sec or Null-Sec. Broken is broken. Iteration will fix it. |

LOL, sleep is an elusive thing sometimes as I struggle to remember which side of the planet I'm on. I've spent the last several years crossing the Atlantic, first for DoD, then CCP and now because I guess I like giving Delta Airlines money.

BTW one issue that seems to be greatly missed with the idea of "interation" or what is really known as "agile" SDLC is what is now just starting to be understood by the larger software companies.
Agile SDLC will lead to stale coding and eventually the shrinking of a userbase
What I am trying to explain is....
.... interation leads to less and less content. It may be good for someone who plays "Titans Online" to have a systems of changes that do not greatly effect thier powerbase or assest base. But for the rest of us it just makes the game old after a while.
Fixes are good... like say Service Packs for an OS .... but really who can honesly say they wish they still ran Windows XP |

Phigmeta,
next expansion has already been confirmed to be war-centric, and from what I've gathered there will be strong focus on vitalizing nullsec sov by shaking up power structures somehow. Nobody wants a stale status quo, most boring thing to happen in any game is to become invincible. As what comes to those supercap blobs, I see it more of a resource issue tbh - alliances have too much capital in relation to supercap expenses, ruining the original idea of titans. Obviously those with actual supercap experience might have more educated views, but imho fleets like that devaluate the spirit of titans, no matter what is means in power balance.
I see Crucible and perhaps this spring not so much as focusing on iteration, but a company working through their neglected backlog.
Still, on a personal note, I don't feel it's CCP's primary function to provide content. They should maintain the balance, and add a trinkle of new ships, items and perhaps even some new gameplay every now and then*- but the real beef of a virtual sandbox is emergent gameplay. What we do with others and to others, is the biggest reason I think we keep on playing.
EVE rewards initiative <3
* I sometimes dream of a more volatile economy. Instead of the steadily climbing expansion, it would be interesting to have recessions and depressions. These would need CCP intervention to happen, perhaps in the form of Empire borders. Different empires would have different taxes and customs fees, perhaps substitute different areas of industry and then make changes to these with the purpose of creating economic imbalances. In a pretty much uniform economy with endless, stable resources the market is not likely to ever crash. |

Hello there - i voted for you last time and would like to ask a few questions this time - i have not chosen who to vote for this time.
What difficulties did you find in the early 1/2 of this last year. EVE was going to a very dark place, especially with the introduction of Aurum and the whole microtransaction saga. Clearly eve has turned for the better, but what did you do to try and stop this, along with the rest of CSM.
Secondly, while people talk about improving sov warfare, and lo-sec what would you like to see implemented in the future to provide additional content for those who dwell in empire and play the game for industry, missioning and mining. There appears to be a lot of focus on 'total hell-death', but if you are to be 'balanced' in this you surely must have some views over what empire is other than a 'shopping mall' for 0.0 players.
Also i read Phigmata's post and i to would also like to know where the game is heading with regards to titans. That screenshot he posted is insane. With that many titans, surely Supercarriers will become redundant?
Thank you. |

They should maintain the balance, and add a trinkle of new ships, items and perhaps even some new gameplay every now and then*- but the real beef of a virtual sandbox is emergent gameplay. What we do with others and to others, is the biggest reason I think we keep on playing.
EVE rewards initiative <3
* I sometimes dream of a more volatile economy. Instead of the steadily climbing expansion, it would be interesting to have recessions and depressions. These would need CCP intervention to happen, perhaps in the form of Empire borders. Different empires would have different taxes and customs fees, perhaps substitute different areas of industry and then make changes to these with the purpose of creating economic imbalances. In a pretty much uniform economy with endless, stable resources the market is not likely to ever crash.
Good points, allow me to retort
Some people do in fact want the status quo
Cruicble is the CCP equivlent of Windows 7 .... really just a large service pack of Vista
CCP's fuction IS to provide content .... untill you can make you own ships and items this will continue to be what they do (the very idea that eve is a pure sandbox is laughable ... your "sandbox" abilites are severly limited)
your last point is contridictory to a sandbox.... you do know this yes?
As a note .. THE GREATEST acheivement of CCP was the market ....this IS the best example of a "sandbox" that the game has to offer. What? you don't think the playerbase can change the market
ask Mittens :)

1. support some sort of casual pvp via a contract system 2. enhance WIS 3. upgrade the mission system 4. make PI more like sim city 5. push to open up story lines for jove (possible WH expansion) 6. make FW include pirate missions like (kill so many people in system A) 7. make referendums for important CSM decisionsGǪ (if its real important we should all vote for it) this would be for major game changing things such as refocus and such 8. eliminate clone costs for players over 4 years old (to encourage pvp for old vets) 9. gethe fith subsystem for Tech III ships 10. kill all super caps (as in a real counter to them not this crap that I will only fly super caps now so give me back my sp cuss I cant use drones sh*t) 11. a way to integrate PI and ship crews and have an effect on your ships performance
Basically a CSM who represents the old vet casual pve/pvper

I'd disagree - I don't think you can say it was one thing or the other.
Shooting at the statue in Jita was a great symbol of player frustration, but it isn't what made Hilmar write an apology letter. Falling subscription numbers and rising player discontent meant that the CSM was flown to Iceland for an "Emergency Summit" where CCP heard first hand from experienced players that Eve was in serious trouble.
Without CSM6 our protests would not have been heard. Without our protests, CSM6 would not have been listened to.

I guess we can agree to disagree...believe me if you're a CEO of a RL corporation and you see your monthly revenues drop significantly almost overnight you'll start to freak out a bit. You just simply have to visit the posts of folks flaming on the forums about what you're doing wrong to figure it out. Either way, CSM or no CSM, CCP would of been put on the right path.
One last note not related to the above exchange...how could the CSM really propose destroyable player stations in Eve. That is purely a step in the direction for larger coalitions to wreak havoc through nullsec like locusts destroying everything in sight because they have all the muscle and hang the little guys out to dry. That was an obvious attempt to get more 'e-peen' value from Eve for their respective coalitions. Just look at the majority of members in the CSM right now.
Pod pilots should try to mix in members not part of large coalitions in the game. |

Okay, slow down m8. I can see where you're going with this. First off, yeah I've got this little ~iteration~ buzzword and, yes, I want CCP to keep finishing and fixing the stuff that's in the game now. It only makes sense that they prioritize that before adding a bunch of NEW stuff. Now, that being said, I have zero issues with new content being developed in parallel to CCP fixing the associated mechanics. My mantra on this is born out of years of frustration from watching CCP reach beyond thier means in terms of manpower, finances, you name it.
Phigmeta wrote:Cruicble is the CCP equivlent of Windows 7 .... really just a large service pack of Vista
This is actually a very good analogy. I've often referred to Crucible as the easy to pick, low hanging fruit.

Ah, THE DREAM! I remember going to FanFest in 2005 (CCP was still barely 60 people at that point) and there was rampant chatter about things like Tech 3 modular guns (yes, the concept dates back that far). Like, what if you could build a 1400mm that gave you an EM resist bonus in exchange for a small tracking nerf, etc...
What you seem to want (and who wouldn't?) would be the ability to literally LEGO ships and mods into wherever your imagination might take you. That's a great thing to want, but how could you possibly balance such a thing? We're still playing a game and there still needs to be rules / limits. I think the closest thing you're going to see like what you want would be a massive iteration on modular construction.
The 'good news' is that after the events of last year, CCP is actually in a position to not only think big but actually produce results. Suggestions that might have previously fallen on deaf ears now receive attention and may finally see the light of day. I'd submit to you that new content is coming, it's just a matter of time.

+1 Vote for Seleene.
The fact that you already have a well-established history with both CCP Games and the CSM is a plus for me. It's not just that, but also how you represented the desires of the player base.
But I have a question for you.
Since your platform is about iterating on old, incomplete features, what do you think about the mining profession at large? I understand already that the CSM6 has already got the ball rolling on the mineral distribution part regarding drone droppings and loot so that mining can be a little more profitable, but what about the other aspects of the mining profession?
- A lot of people, during my 3+ years of playing Eve Online, have pointed out that mining is a 'boring profession' and that's it's not as interactive as compared to other professions. How hard will you push for the iteration of the mining profession on the fun aspect of it?
- Bots are also another big issue. Will you bring up this issue during the CSM7? Also, what do you say to those who think that CCP is under some kind of conspiracy with the botters (the tin-foil hat wearers)?
- Finally, there is buff/nerf debate regarding mining ships and their aggressors (gankers). Some say to buff the tank, others say to nerf it, and others say neither a buff or nerf should ever happen. What do you think?

No, m8, you're trying to sell water to a drowning man. I won't claim that it was ALL the CSM that helped turn things around, but I will say that without the CSM there really is no telling what path toward righting the boat CCP would have taken. I won't write more walls of text to support this because those already exist. I've blogged and posted extensively on the effect the CSM has had on CCP, both as a Dev and as a player. I'm not the only Dev that has acknowledged this. I guess it boils down to what I said in my original post - I'm a busy man and so are several of the other CSMers. I'm not looking for e-fame and I've been to Iceland plenty of times. I wouldn't be doing this if I thought it was a waste of my time. Take that as you will.

E-peen? No, I just think it's stupid that there's something player-made in EVE that can't be destroyed. Simple as.

Obviously, when he say's "our people" he actually means goonz, how can YOU that is not a goon be complacent with this ?
If you don't think there's something wrong with that ....... you must be delusional.
Seriously, think about it, read it again if needed, how cant you see that Seleene is not just the best candidate to take our voice, mine, yours, and everyone that loves this game, into the table at CCP, but he's the only candidate in the best possible position able to do so ?

10 and the fist part. While i do agree there should be a capital ship that has an infinity point... i think its a bad idea to have this be on super carriers... its a power scale thing... certain peeps already have crud loads of super carriers and this would make it so everyone elses super caps die and they get to keep thiers...
I had come up with the Idea two years ago to add "juggernauts" to the game with are a capital tackler/ewar ships... that have infinity points and capital nuets and so on... this would allow smaller groups of players to engage a super cap more easily and make it fair for those who dont have 50+ super caps to field at any given moment...
as for #1... i did not know you the details of the treaty system... is this on a corp level alliance level or just personal level?
hmm now i am at a loss who to vote for you or meissa......

I'd like to see mining be more interactive and require some form of actual DOING SOMETHING. I'd like to see bigger rocks. I'd like to see rocks with variable mineral content. I'd like to see rocks with multiple layers / densities. (zomg, what if there is Kernite, Omber and morphite in the center?!") I'd like to see finite resources of things like moon goo have a % chance to be in a rock. I'd like to see skills affect the amounts / types of minerals you could extract from a rock. I'd like to see planetary ring mining. I'd like to see comet mining. I'd like to mine / hollow out a giant asteroid and make a home there to live out of. I'd like to see a variance in the 'purity' of minerals that are mined where some veldspar is worth more. I'd like to see that same Veldspar refined into Tritanium that gives a ship 10% more hit points due to it's pure qualities... ... IF you had the proper skills to use the proper blueprint that allowed you to take advantage of the improved alloys.
That kind of stuff. That's what I'd like to see happen with mining / industry.

I think the opportunity to push harder will exist in the next year far more than previously. Whereas in the past the CSM had to be a bit more careful in the things we pounded on the table about, CCP's re-newed focus on fixing / iteration will allow a bit more of a shotgun blast of proposals. Speaking for myself, I've always felt that a heavily Industry-themed expansion is LONG overdue. I'd like to see what would happen if the fuzzy bears at CCP were allowed to just go wild for a full release cycle. Every good PVPer in EVE understands the basics of industry and market PVP.
How hard will I push? Hard. Take a look at my answers above. This isn't stuff I just shat out in a couple mins; I've had this stuff on my mind for a while.
Henry Haphorn wrote:Bots are also another big issue. Will you bring up this issue during the CSM7? Also, what do you say to those who think that CCP is under some kind of conspiracy with the botters (the tin-foil hat wearers)?
It's been brought up and discussed with CCP's Security team. It's also heavily ~NDA'd~. I'm satisfied that the people looking into the botting issue understand a lot more than the EVE community gives them credit for. I wish I could discuss methods and such, but I can't. As for any kind of conspiracy or whatever, that's just bullshit.

I would like to see the fuzzy bears as you so aptly put it let loose for a full cycle to iterate on the industrial side of eve, including mining. There's been loads of ideas thrown about for it so they should be able to come up with some suitable solutions.
However, i very strongly oppose any sort of mini-game type interaction being introduced into mining. Certainly mining with multiple accounts would be a pain in the ass, i dont want to have to play pin the laser on this bit of the roids ass every 2mins, and many of my indy/miner freinds are of the same opinion.
Though we all agree mining/indy needs a long overdue revamp.
Anyway GL Seleene.

I gave you four of my votes for CSM6, Seleene, and I am of the mind that you did a decent job I do however have one criticism.

good question,
If you nerf titans and moon goo then you effectivly turn PL into just another merc corp. Maybe then PL will get back to what made them great.
Its about time that "the easy button" is turn the **** off. |

I'm voting for Mark Heard, someone who I've known both inside of EvE and out for about 6 years.
Mark is a serious man, who has a burning passion for this game rivaling my own. We met at a time when our approaches were quite different, and through strife we were able to find common ground and help focus each others abilities for the betterment of the community which we are so greatly involved with. I'm proud to be a part of Mark's vision for a Corporation and for the fact that he has put himself out there so much to help the greater EvE community.
Vote Saline! |

I'm glad you think it's inevitable, m8. I guess we shall see.
There was a time when I wasn't blogging much, but then again I'm not a habitual blog spammer like some others. I tend to just put out information when there's something specific to talk / report about or whatever. Not every current CSM member even maintains a blog or reports on their activities, but I try to do so when 'big stuff' is going down. That aside, I'm always reachable through eve mail and tend to get quite a few CSM-related questions through that. I reply to that usually within a day or two.
In the future I will probably keep a thread similar to my Q&A thread going so folks can stop in and 'visit' and I can field things on a more regular basis. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Tech and all moon goo needs to be nerfed and re-done completely. There should be finite resources available of these materials as well (see my thoughts on mining a few posts back). I'd like to see different regions of space have unique things about them that make them valuable. Some regions should still be 'worth more' than others to help drive conflict, but the current imbalance right now is just stupid.

I don't think it should be ~impossible~, but I think it could be adjusted to where it's not very effective. I think most people would agree that there's no silver bullet for titans / supercarriers. The problem is bigger than 'titan guns'.
That being said, I don't think that a single titan ATM is overpowered because a lone titan is pretty much dog food against a support fleet. Over and over, the issue doesn't seem to be one of A TITAN doing anything bad; it's the scale of the problem when you have multiples of the same ship class, be they Titans or Battleships or whatever, all shooting at the same target - one of them is going to get a glancing blow of some kind and BLAP, that's it.
This stuff goes back to when 50 battleships were blapping frigates too. Once you get XX number of big ships in a blob, ONE of them is going to score. That is where the main problem lies, IMO, and where we should be looking to START to curb things, quickly and smartly. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

I d-scanned a Rifter in a belt in lowsec, and warped to that belt at range. I aligned for the planet, and after allowing time for the pilot to see where I was going, I warped there. The other Rifter followed and we fought.
Given the circumstances, we both wanted to fight.
One of us took a GCC and lost security status. Eventually that pilot will have to start shooting little red crosses or suffer the consequences of 'going pirate'. On this occasion, it was me. Perhaps tomorrow it will be him.
Why are we punished for seeking combat?
Is this working as intended or something you feel needs fixing?

Oh man... I SUPER HATE THIS. It's a total LIFE IN JAIL thing.
So, like, I am never going to rat to recover sec status. I cannot stand it. A long long long time ago, sec status recovered back up to 0.0 at a rate of +.1 a day I believe. Then that was removed and the only option since has been killing NPC's to prove to CONCORD that you are a reformed murderer.
Why has this not changed? Why can't I bribe someone? What about if I kill another -10.0 dude that I get a sec status boost?
I guess I'm still emo because Sel's sec status got wrecked back when I was being a bad pirate. I was hunting down an EVE Marshall Dominix in a belt in Sosala. He launched drones at me and my buddy in our torp launching Blackbirds (yes, I'm going back in time a bit!). The torps hit the drones (this was back when people could launch 10-15 drones) and detonated and the splash damage caused all the other drones to explode. The amazigly accurate sec status penality system (or whatever it's called) then treated every drone I'd popped as an entire ship kill. Then I killed and podded the guy for having the gall to defend himself.
To sum up:
EVE Marshalls corp Blackbirds with Torps Torp splash damage Drones being damaged / hit by missiles Wrecking sec status due to bad code
...... RAGE!
Anyway, in all the years since, I've not been able to force myself to fix my sec status by shooting NPCs. I want to be a better person, but there has to be a better solution to this.
I've brought this up on the CSM forums previously and it had a fair bit of discussion. It is defiantly something I intend to keep pushing on. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Also posting support for Seleene.
Love him, or hate him -- you have to admit the man has been there, done that and knows not only the game mechanics, but also can appriciate the difficulties in balancing corporate pressures and tight game release schedules.
I think that gives him a unique position to speak as a peer, not only a customer, when it comes to important game wide issues. Having been involved in designing much loved game features such as Wormholes -- I think the man speaks the truth when it comes to the need for iterations.
While Elise is my man for my Combat votes -- my other account will vote for Seleene for the wider game issues.

I for one will be pledging all my votes to Sel just as I did for CSM 6. Sel I go back to the old days of MC and brought CONIN into the MC. He even drove up to visit and bring me my BDCI pin. We got to talk about Eve and other RL stuff too. I say this to say that he has more passion about this game than anyone that works for CCP! If your on the fence about who to put your vote torwards, I would not hesitate to put a vote torwards Sel!
We are all passionate about certain issues within this imaginary space ship game, but Sel takes on all the issues, I have been waiting on someone that would actually speak there mind and he doesn't have to hold back when he is a member CSM!
I recommend everyone go read his blog
As far the guy who says Sel doesn't communicate...... really...... this guy over communicates sometimes......

When this first came up last year, it was right in the middle of CCP's completely befuddled efforts to talk to the community about much of anything. I actually wrote about this specific issue in my blog when it happened in an attempt to make sense of the thought processes behind it:
The $99 feedback loop
I can't really paste much of what I said on the internal CSM forums or in the joint Skype chat but there was a lot of emo going on. It didn't help that this was right in the middle of all the other drama. As a result of this and all the player rage, if you recall, CCP Zulu appeared on the EVE Online Alliance Tournament and another blog came out on the subject where he talked about the fee not being $99 but a 'token payment'. I didn't waste any time in making my thoughts known what this token payment should be:
LINKAGE to old forums
I think it's safe to say that any attempt by CCP to repeat this nonsense will be met by me, and the rest of the CSM, with all the subtlety of a small nuke. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

First of all I'd like to say I voted for you last time and you'll get my vote this time, you seem to be a stand up guy who says what he believes and you have a welfare of the playerbase uppermost in your mind. You got a +1 from me!
However I believe titans are a problem as they are in groups AND on their own.
Very few people who've experienced titans as they are at the moment would disagree they're overpowered as far as their guns go. You're never going to be able to stop people blobbing with ships as it's just something that is part of human nature. PL are a good example of this, a titan pilot within PL knows he's a good chance of using his ship on a regular basis and getting some kills with a very low chance of losing it. The only way to fix it is to make it so titans NEED a backup fleet in order to function at their most effective.
The problem of titans guns being overpowered was excellently demonstrated to me about a week ago I was up in the drone regions and we got a PL Erebus tackled. What did he do? Popped our interdictors with his blasters.
Sorry, no, that should not be happening. Titans should need a subcap fleet to help then fight off what they can't, and right now they don't need that as they can pretty much fight off anything on their own, from the lowly interdcitor to doomsdaying a carrier.
I personally would make it so their guns (even if loaded with tracking computers) are marginally effective against battleships and totally useless at killing anything smaller.
Anyway good luck in the election, never thought I'd vote for a PL guy in anything! ;) *grits teeth* |

If CSM was a stunt, that would have been one of the first things to go during the cost cutting exercise last year. CCP as a company are damned lucky they had the sense to create the CSM well BEFORE things got so bad the bears were rioting in Jita...trying to do that after the fact would be seen as gasping for air an have no credibility whatsoever.
Yet, even with this "stunt" I see you still pay to play/play to pay, etc...maybe you should un-sub in protest? |

Hey Seleene,
could you comment on THIS post in the Darius III campaign thread? Vile Rat and Two Step claim that Darius did pretty much nothing while he was in the CSM. D3 then argues that they just say that because they are in love with Mittens.
Since there are no official records of what each member of the CSM did during their time in office, it would be helpful to hear the opinions of some of the other CSM members. |

Over 120 separate suggestions, including one that would likely double the subscriber rates and be the best recieved expansion ever. More on that later though-D3 CCP and even the CSM have a lot of hardworking men and women who are very intelligent, working on making New Eden a better place-it is CCP management that I fear the most. |

I was going to post to your reddit thread, but the topic is fairly slow moving and it didn't seem like the ideal place to continue the discussion.
In your thread you got asked about titans/supercaps and not only your part in the adjustments that made them into the basis for the 'supercaps online' situation nullsec is in, but you really didn't answer the questions posed. You keep pointing at your blog, where you generally give the same non-answers. What I wanted to ask about specifically was mentioned in another reddit thread by FMERCURY, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/pktfz/state_of_eve_discussion_titans_as_the_new_fleet/
I'll quote it for reference:
Quote:Nothing new under the sun. In 2005 it was SUAS asking "'ow many battleships we got?", now it's shadoo or elise going "titans t up in SC legion" It comes down to: should big engagements be decided by numbers, money, or strategy? I think two of those are very boring and dumb, and one makes the game worth playing. Introducing supercaps, and especially titans, was a fundamentally bad idea that forever soured the game. There is nothing you can do short of making them utterly useless that maintains the balance of the game, which pre-supercaps was: Dreads kill structures and carriers, but are killed by subcaps Carriers kill subcaps, but are killed by dreads and useless against structures Subcaps kill dreads, but fairly useless against structures or carriers. Titans kill all three with "pleasing alacrity". From a min/max perspective, there is no reason to be in any other ship than a titan. This is quite clearly ******* ********. Remove supercaps from the game, focus on making a fun and dynamic subcap/cap and subcap/subcap interactions. Make it so that the groups who employ the best strategies are able to beat those who rely on brute force. Viola, the metagame of fleet pvp is fun once again.
The point I wanted to raise has been bolded. One guy's opinion is just that, but the underlined portion goes directly against your assertation that 'One titan is fine. Fifty are the problem."
How do you respond to this? |

I've had the great honor of getting to know Mark (aka Seleene) since joining BDCI about nine months ago. Seleene is a stand up guy, and he works tirelessly on CSM affairs. It's both impressive and admirable the lengths that he goes to in his ~free time~ to better this game for our enjoyment. He has a solid platform with by far the best understanding of the game mechanics and the connections to make things happen. I think Seleene really shined in CSM 6, and I hope to see him on the CSM again this year -- even if it means BDCI loses a bit of his activity as CEO.
Highly recommended. Proven character and dedication. Can't go wrong. |

Seleene is one of the few guys to ever be able to say " Conquered a region with the use of his NYX and then mined the very same belts with the same NYX". He is a player that has always had diverse interest and has done pretty much everything you can do in Eve from build outpost to building frigates to building titans mining in all areas of the game over his 8 year tenure and being involved in PVP of all sizes in nearly every region of the game. Pretty knowledgeable guy and someone who after 8 years of playing and 3 years of working for CCP still has a burning passion for the game. |

I voted for you last term and certain to vote for you again; simply because you understand the game as both a designer and a player.
I'll ask the obvious PvE questions:
1) Missions; re-vamp required? More missions? Better missions? Closer to a PvP type experiance? Removal of '2 strikes'? (ie, 2 declines = no more missions from agent) Removal / improvement of faction missions? 2) Small group PvE content that isn't incursions? 3) Your thoughts on improving the PvE experiance? 4) How important is the PvE aspect of the game for you and how likely are you to encourage iteration in the PvE elements of the game?
Thanks - good luck! |

Seleene is a terrible FPS player.
His aim is bad, he gets excited far too easily, shouts a lot, types in CAPS a lot.
Back a few years ago in MC, we used to chill between contracts by playing CoD (for some reason not BF 1942 - i donGÇÖt know what we were on...). Seleene, being CEO always got picked on (naturally), but it didn't help that he was utterly useless (a week in - he worked out how to aim down a sight).
In the end (to help him somewhat) we decided to switch the server rules to 'shotguns and c4' only.
Somehow, even this didn't help him, and a good half hour was spent with various corp-mates sneaking up behind him and attaching C4 to his back, running away then detonating it. Despite this constant humiliation - he never gave up, and always kept coming back for more, aiming to get someone back (he did shotgun me in the end, only to die to another C4 while he was gloating on TS about it).
He is persistent GÇô IGÇÖll give him that.

I thought Seleene was a girl when I first began hearing stories about him back when MC was around. Now I just think he's a sissy. trolololo.
One thing is certain though, he really cares for this game and puts a lot of effort into making it better for all of us.
Back in years of old I was the pilot who was going to cyno in thulsadoom for his cherry popping Doomsday. But -A- didn't engage. I was kinda bummed. I could have been someone. . . |

Seleene, i been reading alot, and in my perspective, you seem the most qualified and most active CSM member in CSM6.
Before i decide on who to place my humble vote, i would like to fire couple questions:
1) What is your view on Jump clones? Currently there's a 24hrs delay between using a JC, what's your stance on implementing a skill to lower the time?
2) Mining: I think that mining needs some rework, what's your proposal regarding this ?
3) LowSec: How can lowsec become more appealing and attractive?
4) Moongoo: Altho i have no contact with moongoo, i do invention, and i feel closely the fluctuations that the 0.0 power blocks make on market when there's wars over the tec moons. What is your ideas on how to fix the extreme in balance that is currently ingame? |

Seleene is the CSM most impartial in this game.
He thinks in all players of eve, and not only in his friends like others do.
So all my votes is to Seleene, and I hope you stop watching colors and check what each person had done in game to make it better.
Good JOB

It depends on how the destruction of the outpost is handled. If it leaves a wreck, then you simply leave all personal assets (not corp) intact and all station services inside the 'wrecked' station are disabled except undocking (no trading allowed either). Grab what you can stuff into the biggest ship you have, undock and good luck.
If the entire outpost goes kaboom, you could do a few things
1.) A fire-sale takes place that auto-magically gives you the current average market cost of each of your destroyed items.
2.) All of your **** gets auto-magically moved to the last empire location you undocked from.
3.) **** you, all your **** is as dead as fried chicken.
These are the three most common arguments I've heard, both at CCP and on the CSM. Perhaps surprisingly, I'm not in favor over any one over the others as, over the years, I've heard strong arguments for each. I'm pretty much cool with any of them, so long as we can blow the hell out of some goddamn outposts and it's done in a logical and well-balanced manner.

Sheena Tzash wrote:I voted for you last term and certain to vote for you again; simply because you understand the game as both a designer and a player.
I'll ask the obvious PvE questions:
1) Missions; re-vamp required? More missions? Better missions? Closer to a PvP type experiance? Removal of '2 strikes'? (ie, 2 declines = no more missions from agent) Removal / improvement of faction missions? 2) Small group PvE content that isn't incursions? 3) Your thoughts on improving the PvE experiance? 4) How important is the PvE aspect of the game for you and how likely are you to encourage iteration in the PvE elements of the game?
Thanks - good luck!
1.) I will freely admit to being one of the worst people to ask about ~missions~ as I've never really done that many of them. It's one of my weak areas. That being said, I did play through the 'epic arc' stuff and found it to be pretty interesting. I've never been able to do repetitive, non PVP, activities in any game. The only way it works for me is if there is a solid story element behind it to keep my interest.
2.) Yes, I would love to fight a Jovian invasion as well. Or Sleepers taking a peek into low-sec. Hell, I think it would even be cool if you were sent off on some big, week-long quest to that takes all over so you could find the ancient artifacts that allow you to build a custom purple smartbomb / Manticore / T3 Railgun. ARCHEOLOGY / Indiana Jones ****.
3.) I have to feel like I'm actually accomplishing something. It needs to be interesting and no the same old **** that someone can post a guide for and I can do the exact same way every time. If it can get someone like ME to give it a shot and actually enjoy it a bit, then that means it's good.
4.) I've asked on more than one occasion why PVE couldn't be more interactive and immersive. I love single player games like Fallout and the old D&D games like Baldur's Gate. When I worked at CCP and heard the first whispers about DUST, I was pretty fired up about it because I initially thought it was going to be something similar to Fallout. If I knew that I could do something like I described above in #2 and #3? I would be much more inclined to push for more resources being used for it.

1.) I'm fine with it but I think it would be maxed by pretty much everyone ASAP, thus making it almost meaningless. I don't really have an issue with the 24 hours limit. It's a simple rule / limitation and I'm not really aware of a big push to have it changed. Have I missed a riot about this somewhere?
2.) Did you seem the post I made here? If you have more questions beyond that, let me know. :)
3.) The best place to see my current thoughts on low-sec is here where I did a bit of Q&A on it. You can also check out some of the other candidate's answers as well.
4.) Pasting in something I said earlier: Tech and all moon goo needs to be nerfed and re-done completely. There should be finite resources available of these materials as well (see my thoughts on mining a few posts back). I'd like to see different regions of space have unique things about them that make them valuable. Some regions should still be 'worth more' than others to help drive conflict, but the current imbalance right now is just stupid. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff.

I hope I didn't miss these elsewhere in the thread, but I have three questions for you:
1) How do you feel about time dilation and the potential impact it has on CCP in regards to demotivating them in upgrading server hardware?
2) PLEX/GTC prices are too damn high. How will you leverage your influence on the CSM to bring down the price of game time paid with isk?
3) How should CCP reward veterans for their longevity in playing this game instead of punishing them via "end-game" nerfs?
Also, just wanted to say I appreciate all the hard work you did on CSM 6. It didn't go unnoticed. As I evaluate these early candidates, you are my favorite. Keep up the good work! |

Promises or past loyalties mean nothing as he will turn 180-¦ on any matter with out hesitation if it suits him. That and he is partly responsible for Dominion sov mechanics even though he will try to blame Zulu or whoever was there for it.

You make it seem that you are any different? Or that those in you alliance leadership are not. Don't forget for years i was also in the -a- alliance leadership forums. There were a lot of what you call self serving turncoats, but you make it seem like no else does what they feel is in their best interest. You did the same by being in Rage in Terror did you not? So i guess the main question is should you be throwing personal assaults in a CSM thread or actually trying to post something useful instead of the same old usually sith8?
To answer the direct question what is wrong with your post, answer this question then what sov mechanics have actually worked that ccp have spit out? Everything up to this point has been trial and error instead of bitching and complaining at least some people are trying to find something that will work or be somewhat balanced. So maybe instead of armchair quarterbacking and going for personal assaults you could.........i don't know come post something useful and stop being a total ******. |

Seleene was the main person from CSM 6 who saw early on that CCP was spending too many resources on incarna and not enough iterating on the spaceship game.
When other csms were writing "in defense of incarna" seleene knew that wasn't the way. I'm glad Seleene was on csm6 and I'm glad CCP finally agreed with him that EVE needs iterations.
Eve could definitely use more iterations and I hope Seleene gets on the csm to push for them again.

So a ton of people are asking why we are against Seleene. Here is quick snapshot:
Seleene misrepresented his intentions. Southern alliances would have never voted for him if he was in PL. But that's not what is the most annoying. He screwed his own voters.
He had obligations to voters in his bloc and after the election, he has never contacted anyone in the South to solicit feedback. Yes, his ticker changed but the people who elected him did not. Seleene turned around and served his new masters tirelessly while ignoring the people who voted for him.
So cut the b*llsh*t. You are the sc*mbag who goes in front of voters - tells them what they want to hear and than proceed to leave them hanging.
So has been the experience of people who voted for you in CSM 6. |

M8, that goes both ways and I've left no one hanging. Anyone that wanted to talk to me, even you, about what was going on could have contacted me at any time or read about what I was doing. I made it a point to keep people as informed as I could as time allowed. I didn't ignore anyone that contacted me with a big issue, I wasn't "serving new masters" (cripes, even that sounds ridiculously dramatic) and I never bothered to check what anyone's alliance ticker said before I spoke to them either.
My OBLIGATION is to EVE, which is the game that we ALL play. I will never put the interests of one 'bloc' of EVE above any other. If you thought that voting for me was going to somehow influence how I conducted myself as a member of the CSM, you were wrong. I've done the best I could regardless of if someone voted for me or not. My alliance ticker is completely irreverent to how I form opinions on what direction I would like to see EVE take.

Seleene's been responding to contact via evemail or his blog all through his term. Southern alliances have the same avenues to contact him as anyone else. He certainly hasn't given any preferential treatment to PL in that regard. He's not the PL "bloc" candidate, Elise is. |

This whole with us or against us attitude is pretty bad and I would urge you to get some fresh air. You would be better served helping the candidate of your choice get elected to CSM than trying to kick sand in others face because let me tell you about kicking sand , sometimes the wind changes. With that said you know just have fun and play the game not everything is some giant conspiracy theory.

Also, just wanted to say I appreciate all the hard work you did on CSM 6. It didn't go unnoticed. As I evaluate these early candidates, you are my favorite. Keep up the good work!
1.) I don't think CCP will ever stop upgrading the hardware. They have a very dedicated team that talks to IBM and other companies all the time with regard to how to improve things. In this respect, EVE is unique - there is nothing else out there which does what EVE's cluster does so it naturally draws attention from companies on the leading edge of technology. Every FanFest there is a presentation on this where CCP and other tech companies talk about how they are helping each other do cool :nerd: stuff. So, basically, I'm not worried.
2.) This has actually been talked about quite a bit at the last summit but I cannot really go into detail. I can say that I believe the CSM has pushed hard on this issue and CCP acknowledges that it is a problem they are looking to remedy. TLDR - Already on it!
3.) I think that the game should evolve and expand to keep providing challenges to it's older players. Space is vast and full of mysteries. Since Apocrypha, there really hasn't been a push to recover a sense of wonder in EVE for players. CCP needs to find a way to rediscover this through content designed specifically to feed the passions of jaded, older players so we'll stop swinging lightsabers or forging iron daggers when we get bored.

1) How do you feel about time dilation and the potential impact it has on CCP in regards to demotivating them in upgrading server hardware?
2) PLEX/GTC prices are too damn high. How will you leverage your influence on the CSM to bring down the price of game time paid with isk?
3) How should CCP reward veterans for their longevity in playing this game instead of punishing them via "end-game" nerfs?
Also, just wanted to say I appreciate all the hard work you did on CSM 6. It didn't go unnoticed. As I evaluate these early candidates, you are my favorite. Keep up the good work! 1.) I don't think CCP will ever stop upgrading the hardware. They have a very dedicated team that talks to IBM and other companies all the time with regard to how to improve things. In this respect, EVE is unique - there is nothing else out there which does what EVE's cluster does so it naturally draws attention from companies on the leading edge of technology. Every FanFest there is a presentation on this where CCP and other tech companies talk about how they are helping each other do cool :nerd: stuff. So, basically, I'm not worried. 2.) This has actually been talked about quite a bit at the last summit but I cannot really go into detail. I can say that I believe the CSM has pushed hard on this issue and CCP acknowledges that it is a problem they are looking to remedy. TLDR - Already on it! 3.) I think that the game should evolve and expand to keep providing challenges to it's older players. Space is vast and full of mysteries. Since Apocrypha, there really hasn't been a push to recover a sense of wonder in EVE for players. CCP needs to find a way to rediscover this through content designed specifically to feed the passions of jaded, older players so we'll stop swinging lightsabers or forging iron daggers when we get bored.
Why should anyone trust a word you say m8 when you end up joining the very same alliance you hated so much that you wanted them dead, banned and playing MLP online no so long ago? And don-¦t give us crap about "Alliance Tickers" blah blah blah .. it-¦s about you doing whatever serves your interests the best even if it means going against your own words.

It's because the people who rage against us the hardest only do so because they secretly want to join us. Just make peace with that and give in to the inevitable. I'm pretty sure we've got a spot in SAS saved for you brother. |

PL has worked hard to accumulate the galaxy's foremost collection of terrible posters. Once we absorb the most prolific remaining AAA posters we'll be an unstoppable juggernaut of badposting like the world has never seen.

You make it seem that you are any different? Or that those in you alliance leadership are not. Don't forget for years i was also in the -a- alliance leadership forums. There were a lot of what you call self serving turncoats, but you make it seem like no else does what they feel is in their best interest. You did the same by being in Rage in Terror did you not? So i guess the main question is should you be throwing personal assaults in a CSM thread or actually trying to post something useful instead of the same old usually sith8? To answer the direct question what is wrong with your post, answer this question then what sov mechanics have actually worked that ccp have spit out? Everything up to this point has been trial and error instead of bitching and complaining at least some people are trying to find something that will work or be somewhat balanced. So maybe instead of armchair quarterbacking and going for personal assaults you could.........i don't know come post something useful and stop being a total ******.
Yes Prad, I am still in AAA and did not fck over my voters and join nr 1 enemy alliance 15 minutes after I got elected. I-¦m not sure I follow you when you try to use it against me that I am in RAT. but whatever bro. What I was questioning about Sel is his trustworthiness as he has shown himself capable of a complete turn around on just about anything in this game if it so suits him or his corp. Furthermore you did not answer my question what was wrong with my post but instead asked another question, I can tell you that the previous POS sov mechanics made more sense than the BS we have to endure now... I mean try to explain this crap to someone who does not play Eve but would like to try. And there was nothing personal in what I said, I made it clear to include the word INGAME in every accusation I made against Sel. The RL person is a chill dude i-¦d share a beer with anytime.

Thanks, man (me too), so let's talk about RL then because you've nailed the main issue. I feel very comfortable in saying that I didn't do one thing different on the CSM regardless of who voted for me. I ran very openly as someone that does not have any intention of bias toward one alliance or style of gameplay. Sure, I have my personal priorities but those are all public record, moreso than many other CSMs. This nonsense that I somehow violated your trust implies that I actively worked against some secret agenda that I would never agree to in the first place.
You cannot offer anything that says I favored PL or any other alliance in my tenure on CSM 6. You have NOTHING but bitching about how I amd Manny and whoever else decided to do what we felt best for us and our bros. The reason you can't is because the CSM is an OUT OF GAME ORGANIZATION. When we sit down in Iceland or talk on Skype, I talk with real people about real issues in the game. I talk with people like Alex, Robert, Mikhal, Josh, Sean and Stephan. In fact, it's pretty funny how rare, if ever, anyone gets ~mad~ about in game politics. If someone comes in amd starts this tinfoil bullshit they are rapidly outcast.
If you are mad about some in game political thing, all right. But stop trying to connect it to the Real Life work that the CSM does on the video game we all play. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Just wanted to point out that Seleene has *always* been willing to raise issues even if those would hurt whatever alliance he is currently in. This includes advocating for nerfs to supercaps while he flies one himself and his alliance (PL) is widely known as the largest users of supers.
Seleene hasn't f'd over anyone that voted for him. He has done a fantastic job representing *everyone* who plays this game. Thanks to all of you who voted him on CSM 6, it would have been a much worse CSM without him. Vote Two step for CSM 7 CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog |

No Sel and you quoted the wrong part of my post .. the real question being asked is your trustworthiness based on your ingame actions after all you campaign with your ingame alias and your ingame avatar, feel free to move this campaign to Facebook if you want to mix your RL persona in this. Take Mittens for example; he is quite possibly somekind of record holder in Eve for lying,swindling and being a complete bastard, but he is still a goon and never changed his colors. You did Sel when it suited you and more than once and that is why I question you as a CSM candidate. |

He already answered your question Hamrammur, you just didn't read it yet.
His work on CSM was to work towards a better EVE for every player, he was not in the CSM as the representative of power block X or Y, and that is what makes him the best candidate of all them.
Seleene genuinely works tirelessly to bring CCP to improve EVE, fix things and in general, make EVE a better game for all of us not just a certain group

I knew you took your rivalry with PL personally, but this is a bit silly.
Seleene and his corp decided to play a video game with some different people than who they were previously playing the video game with. Full stop. PL has had former members join AAA or other organizations we shoot and we still like and respect many of them both ingame and out. |

I've been following the candidates for a couple of weeks now. Usually i split the votes on my accounts over two candidates: the one with the best representation and the one with the best presentation. Last year i split my votes over Elise and Vile Rat. An odd pair it may seem, but i was confident in Elise's background and i felt Vile Rat had the most interesting and well-illustrated program.
I knew voting for either was an uncertain move, they'd be prone to penetration- and attention-issues, fading either one over to a peripheral role, or fronts underprioritized for a larger agenda (with the Goon representatives in particular that's a shame, because their overall discourse is not bad, they simply prioritize in short sight and stop being inspirational when things come to a close). I felt pretty good being a bit idealistic back then though, that's what this whole spectacle is about after all. I also knew i wouldn't be completely misrepresented the way oppinion swayed at the time.
This year i'm throwing at least the majority of my votes in with Seleene. I care little about the argument wether CSM 5 or 6 set the ball in motion, but CSM 6 accomplished development attention - that means casting your vote based on realism has become far more important for CSM 7. We've already seen that things can go both good and bad with Crucible, as player concerns get adressed again.
Seleene may not be my ideal candidate - there are select issues where we have different backgrounds and are bound to have different perspectives or initial outlooks. He is however the total pakage, and in that by far, the candidate that stand out above the other. He has experience, understanding, commitment and professionalism - not only that, he reaffirms it at opportunity. He has also driven a good campaign in regard to attention, accessabilty, discourse and presentation. Several of the other candidates could learn from him in that regard, because he is taking votes from you thanks to it.
I will put it in other words... just to make sure my declaration doesn't stop at the same old tired buzz and catchphrases:
There are several candidates who claim to represent me better (and probably could, ideally), but once you look at their examples or study their detail they either have problems presenting themselves at all, in a very limited personal light or do it in a manner that contradict their outspoken general standpoints. It's worth mentioning again: other candidates would do good in reviewing their presentations - present clear standpoints and priorities.
The current runner up in my book is the candidate from the Initiative. I'll give him an honourable mention here while i +1 Seleene's candidacy. It's a fresh overview with attention and priority to key issues of mine, which makes him appealing both in terms of presentation and representation on a superficial ideal level.
In contrast Seleene display depth and quality over time and venues. One important aspect of a good representative is the ability to understand, make yourself understood, be argumentative and reasonable even when oppinions differ - and when oppinions are strong. I've yet to see anyone else handle that in such an open, keen and belivable way this far into CSM 7.
That quality, knowing he understands the complexity of a given situation and is willing to open up to it, makes Seleene a clear pick for me this round. A candidate who is willing and able to take the discussion is better than anyone who simply agree or disagree. I prefer lasting tangible results over simply being thrown a bone, and i prefer being challenged over patted. Thus, i know voting for Seleene mean i can feel somewhat safely represented through that ideal, not quality as professionalism but as indepth understanding of the game. Showing commitment beyond that is only flattering - and i'll do my best to continue to hound everyone when it comes to priorities.
Thumbs, are up. |

Well, It wasn't but a few months ago that I was pretty much finished with EVE. CCP seemed to be doing their best to implement their plan to make big money by going the way of all other MMO's who try to recreate an alternative to WOW. IMHO Seleene was a spearhead member of CSM 6 which yelled loudly enough to get CCP's attention. This brought about an apology...but an apology is only words. It also brought about a complete revamp of a major expansion that would likely have had many 'bitter old vets' such as myself unsubbing in record numbers. This revamp is not simply words...it's an action that shows that CCP is listening again.
I want that last line to be clear so I'll state it again, CCP is listening to it's players again. For those of us who have played since the time of double mwd's and seeing something t2 was a rare sight this is a big deal. We play this game for years because we feel a connection to our community and to those who are designing our game. That's right, we feel like it's our game too. As long as CCP is listening we can continue to feel like it's our game. We've yelled loudly, we've voted what we thought was best and we feel like we're a part of what this game is becoming.
As long as CCP is listening voices like Seleene must be on CSM to yell loud enough to cut through the fog of budgeting, marketing, and day to day business and remind CCP that this is about their players and their community. That's what CSM 6 was a part of. Seleene was a leader in that movement and I believe he will continue the work he started there and as a Dev.
I'm glad to be playing eve again due to what Seleene and CSM 6 did. You have my vote m8. |

Having had a chance to give that proposal a complete read, I have to say that I think it's got potential but is ultimately too convoluted. There are pieces of it that I like with regard to ensuring that the system could not be completely exploited but, as others have said, I don't really agree with tying it into the player-controlled market in terms of how payouts are determined. I would like to see players be able to take direct control over this mechanic and tweak it as much as possible.
A long time ago after the Dominion expansion, there was supposed to be a feature implemented called 'Treaties' which would have re-vamped the current contract system and made proper bounty hunting and mercenary work actually workable. I bring this up a lot because of the fact that I've spent the majority of my EVE career in mercenary alliances / hunting people down. Having an in-game mechanic, an officially supported system, that formalizes player agreements / assassination through a modified contract system is something that I've been a proponent of from the day my corp took its first mercenary contract back in April of 2004. Having gotten very close as a CCP dev to getting that into the game only pushes me to want it and demand it that much more. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

My only request for CSM this term and hopefully you can put a little more voice out there, would be a better re look at lowsec, i haven't touched my vindicator in nearly 2.5 yrs and i miss it :(.

Thank you for your hardwork in CCP and in CSM. It is truly appreciated. I can't see you not getting back on the player council.
When you do, please try to reign back on the appearance of unmitigated smugness.
CCP are employers in the leisure industry. They make their bread out of people with time and money to waste. They may have made some disastrous PR errors in promoting and developing their game, but big H's bottom line is good because he has made some really tough real life decisions.
So go ahead and promote the much needed changes that you would like to highlight. Just modify your tone a tad will you.
Thanks. |

So much is broken, it's hard to even begin to come up with ideas to fix it without breaking the game entirely.
Basically, when it comes to how I would like to see CCP use their resources in the near future, the top three things I would like to see happen are:
1.) Fix / finish null sec sov
2.) Improve Factional Warfare and life in low-sec
3.) A full blown industrial expansion
My reasons for that order are that I very much want to see CCP iterate on and complete the first two systems that have been lingering in apathy for years now. More importantly, I don't want CCP touching #3 until they can literally put a full expansion's worth of resources into it. It is, as you say, not an easy task. Everything in EVE springs from the way we mine, build and trade.
If you read the post I made here, you'll see that this is something I've spoken of before. Specifically:
"I've always felt that a heavily Industry-themed expansion is LONG overdue. I'd like to see what would happen if the fuzzy bears at CCP were allowed to just go wild for a full release cycle. Every good PVPer in EVE understands the basics of industry and market PVP."
I want to see everyone happily blowing each other up and then I would like to see an industry expansion that allows us to invent / build new and fun ways to keep the violence going strong. I'm a builder at heart. When I play strategy games like Total Annihilation or the old Master of Orion stuff, even Shogun2, I tend to work toward building things as big and 'upgraded' as possible before sending my armies out into the world and conquering it. I like making something out of nothing, big things out of small things, etc... In EVE, I have probably spent just as much time building everything from cruise missiles to Titans over the years just so I could say I'd done it.
I'll bullet point a few obvious things and they should be familiar as everyone has been screaming about them for years:
- New, dead regions of space waiting to be built-up / exploited
- Region-specific resources
- Dynamic resource allocation
- Improved mining / Comet mining / planetary ring mining, etc...
(as a caveat to this, I'd like to see mining become something that requires player interaction to some extent so bots are taken out of the equation as much as possible)
- New probing / scanning mechanics
- Finite resources of rare resources (moon goo)
- Massive scale construction (stargates, etc...)
This is stuff just off the top of my head so don't treat it as anything even remotely resembling the beginning or end of what I'd want to see. One of the things I enjoyed most about being at CCP and working on Apocrypha was creating Wormholes. The sense of wonder and danger had been missing from EVE for so long; for the first time since the beginning of the game, we managed to re-capture some of that feeling, while also adding new stuff (T3) that made the risk worthwhile. I would challenge CCP to do that on an even larger scale.

One of the major obstacles to mining corporations moving into 0.0 is the culture.
Can you imagine an alliance like PL for instance or an alliance with a culture LIKE Noir (they obviously don't own space, but I'm using the PVP culture as an example), bringing on board a medium sized mining corporation?
Of course not. There's nothing in it for them, no reason to do so. It would be a blemish on the killboard every month, and a sub-culture in their alliance that would never quite fit in.
The problem is that mining corps specifically don't have anything to bring to the table.
Another problem we have and are currently trying to deal with is the moon goo issue.
I've seen in the CSM minutes the references to it and many others have spoken out about it.
I wonder if t2 moon goo couldn't replace the current AWFUL (noone wants to mine spodzilla for days on end) grav sites?
This would bring a much needed change to the moon mining industry and perception of miners sitting around mining all day. And finally create some use for grav sites that just aren't worth it right now.
This IS just an idea, but I wonder if it isn't worth looking into further.
Obviously botting and other issues still need to be worked out, but this could also make available the current t2 hull market which is just not worth getting into industry-wise for many people that don't own BPO's or Tech moons.
Any help appreciated. If you can help on some of these issues you'll get my vote(s). Put graphic sigs back in you cheap assholes. |

Why not make mining less interactive? The other two big forms of "raw" resource extraction (moon goo and plantationplanetary interaction) are both fairly passive, and the work and skills lie in getting access to the resources in the first place or in setting up your extraction system in an optimal way. These require both character skills and player skills, including planning and research, in which you do your initial setup and then go do something more engaging while the system you've designed and built performs in a way the rewards the initial work you put into it (or not, if you forgot that pesky 23rd mouse click in PI).
Asteroid mining seems like the odd man out. What if mining ships were things that you attach to asteroids, set up in such and such a way for optimal resource extraction, and then left them alone to do their work? Give them some kind of timer/reinforcement doohickey thing so dislodging and/or looting them takes some effort and coordination, and free miners from the tyranny of the laser while giving people more things to fight over. All the mining skills would still be just as valuable, but would come into play in the setup process.
The next step, of course, would be to let the biggest mining ships act as mass drivers that can be used to move small asteroids and drop them on top of someone's PI network. |

See this is what I mean about CSM candidates.
There is a general forumula for saying they wish to be heard on particular subjects, but little in the way of actual details they wish to bring to the table - in case someone can at the last minute bring forth a pee shooter and fill their details with holes.
To be honest with you I see little value in mining comets or planetary rings at present.
We need the mining that is currently in the game rebuilt or iterated upon to bring about better incomes and more fun than is presently available. Simply adding new mechanics is just another project CCP will inevitably get wrong or get "not quite right" and then not iterate upon. - leaving us possibly right back where we are now.
I'd really like an answer as to how adding new mechanics will effect PVP cultures of alliances and welcome the industrial core into 0.0 rather than resenting their presence (as is the usual 0.0 culture currently).
Are you putting forward a plan to move t2 moon goo to these planetary rings? Or will that just be another asteroid belt ?
Presently figures are said to be something like 70% of minerals coming out of drone regions, do you consider a cut of 70% minerals will just "fix the problem" for miners in the long run as Mittani seems to continue repeating?
Mining of course is only one factor of industry that requires iteration, but surely you have some thoughts? Manufacturing Papercuts ***CSM Interstellar Debate - Mining Profession**

Wouldn't that depend on how it was implemented and what the benefits were? You asked, "Are you putting forward a plan to move t2 moon goo to these planetary rings? Or will that just be another asteroid belt ?"
I think that anything added such as rings or comets should add new variables to the whole. For example, I've long been a proponent of finite, dynamically spawning sources of moon goo and other (yet to be introduced?) industrial rarities. I would like to see trade encouraged by region specific resources that may or may not be permanent depending on type. I believe if a miner is brave enough to enter a dangerous area that he should have the opportunity to 'strike it rich'.

No, it sounds like a band-aid to a larger problem to me.

This is a much different question that the others you are asking in that you're actually talking about trying to alter the psychology of null sec play styles based upon possible shifts in resource availability and / or new mechanics. The biggest issue I see for getting NEW, dedicated industrial people into 0.0 is that the majority of the people there already have innumerable industrial alts trained up and ready to roll. The only way I could see it working is if a major series of changes took place (like an entire Industrial expansion) that made players have to make an actual choice in how they spent their time and mental focus - do you want to spend the majority of your time blowing **** up or running the arm that allows you to do so?

What I'm getting at here is - consider for instance SRP - I just came from BDEAL where SRP was a joke to be honest. The fact for them is however that they just cant afford a reasonable SRP. Then if you go on the other hand and check out goons SRP. They cover all manner of things far beyond what most alliances can, do or ever will. As an example if you're a Lachesis pilot with a faction point, the goons SRP will actually get you a PROFIT on the loss of your ship.
If upon moving t2 moon goo from moons to say comets or belts, those funds dry up, SRP would have to be covered by having that industrial arm. Presently also t2 ship production is beyond most people without technetium or t2 BPO's. This also might change allowing industrialists who traditionally are kept in empire to expand operations to 0.0.
This would change that "PVPers only" culture imo.
I also noticed in the minutes a small line suggesting giving invention bonuses to inventors in 0.0, this would also fit within the model - allowing smaller alliances that can't project power to have an SRP and even make a profit - god forbid - in line with the number of PVP pilots they have and be better able to defend themselves without NECESSARILY requiring the napfest that is currently used to do so.
I really don't see a downside apart from the fears of the few who currently hold these moons. And properly implemented with the CCP beancounters' help I can't imagine too many saying no.
And frankly I'd like to see this kind of thing (barring any unforeseen holes in the logic) implemented as fast as humanly possible - things in industry need to change. Manufacturing Papercuts ***CSM Interstellar Debate - Mining Profession**

Maybe you can do something about forums eating posts because AAAAARGH I just lost what I thought was an excellent post (all my posts are excellent). So I'm just going to shorten it up.
Is there a good reason why outposts cannot be factories and refineries? Not just a few manufacturing slots or a 10-30% refinery, but the full blown deal, or multiple outposts in the same system just like you'd find in empire. I am a small scale nullsec producer and the logistical problems of getting minerals to factories to produce anything bigger than a frigate are outrageously out of proportion to the reward, especially when hulls can just be imported by jump freighter. This, in my opinion, is the greatest obstacle to nullsec industry really taking root. To me, it looks like CCP deliberately made nullsec production much, much more difficult than empire production, to the point of completely hobbling it.
In my opinion, if you just let good factories and good refineries exist in the same system (or even better, the same station), that will be enough to really ignite nullsec industry. This is really the best that could be done for it, and it doesn't take a full blown industrial expansion. As it is, industrial producers combined with jump freighter importers have a huge advantage over local industry in nullsec. If that's the intention of CCP then it's been executed really well, but I have to wonder why. |

TBH - that is still an excellent post. Hi-sec industry has many of these advantages + no risk. 0.0 industry has so many risks, and no combined advantages.

If someone knew Seleene from early on in game they would never trust him. Look who is associated within the game!

u mad bro? It's easier to tell the next guy in front of you he have a splinter in his eye, when you cannot see the TREE you have in yours!
Your alliance leaders that you worked so hard for so long openly admitted to RMTing for a long time, not to mention the D2 debacle over the moon goo, helping goons left and right and you come here and accuse seleene of what? been a active eve player, caring for eve in general?

It is indeed a crime to lead a successful alliance (ultimately to it's doom!), and take advantage of tactics to win. Infact is is far superior to be 'average', not compete to win, and be a total unknown. Being successful (even for a limited time) is so not fair. |

Words like 'notorious' and 'infamous' in conjunction with a mercenary alliance = good stuff. Also, it'd be pretty hard to hide that MC was working for / with BoB while we were burning your regions down for them m8. Maybe your leaders should have actually tried talking to us at the time instead of attacking our shipyards. v0v

I didn't much like BoB for the same reason I don't like Goons (moons = money for nothing). I don't much like ExE. (some god awful FC's there). I don't much like PL's tactics. I dislike metagaming. I can't stand the current titan tracking or 100mn tengu's (we're in 2006-7 again?).
But upon saying that if you can't see or understand that at least Seleene puts forward ideas that has nothing to do with any of those alliances of even 0.0 specifically. Also having worked for ccp he has a clue about what's feasible as far as change is concerned.
I see nothing in your post that has any proof of wrong doing. It reads like a really lame CAOD post by some newbie.
Don't embarass yourself.

I've had the pleasure of working with Seleene on improving the game throughout the years since CSM 2, when he was known as CCP Abathur. As an example of his willingness to put effort into it, he once had a brainstorming session with us for 6 hours... by text... on a sunday.
Seleene is a veteran player and obviously knowledgeable about the game in general, and when it comes to medium to large scale PvP and 0.0 in particular. Unlike many delegates over the years, he actually bothered to contribute, participate and make the voice of the people who voted for him (or didn't) heard. Shouldn't he already have it, he'd have earned my respect for that alone.
I hope I have the chance to work with him again. Member of CSM 2, 3, 4 and 5. Vice-Chairman of CSM 6 |

Even thou I'm currently on opposite sides of Mark I was a member of MC and enjoyed and trusted him.I have never found him to be a person who was looking out for his own interests ,he was always trying to find ways to make the game more interesting and fun and he is someone whos always trying to grab the limelight. I know from past experiences he will work hard for the community not just the areas he may benefit from directly. Hes got my vote |

here is a few reasons i'll vote for Seleene even if he is red in game.
1 - was a member of ccp's staff, is no in this for the free ticket to vist iceland 2 - he is as open as he can be without breaking the nda 3 - he'll speek his mind 4 - is not after nerfing every thing that is not used by his alliance 5 - is not the leader of the alliance he is in (might be part of the leadership but is not the top dog) why is this important is not under the same pressures of having to do 1st what is needed for his alliance then whats needed for the game unlike The Mitanni who as the lead of gsf must put them 1st.
here is hoping Seleene gets the vote to be chairman |

Johnny Marzetti wrote:Is there a good reason why outposts cannot be factories and refineries? Not just a few manufacturing slots or a 10-30% refinery, but the full blown deal, or multiple outposts in the same system just like you'd find in empire. I am a small scale nullsec producer and the logistical problems of getting minerals to factories to produce anything bigger than a frigate are outrageously out of proportion to the reward, especially when hulls can just be imported by jump freighter. This, in my opinion, is the greatest obstacle to nullsec industry really taking root. To me, it looks like CCP deliberately made nullsec production much, much more difficult than empire production, to the point of completely hobbling it.
In my opinion, if you just let good factories and good refineries exist in the same system (or even better, the same station), that will be enough to really ignite nullsec industry. This is really the best that could be done for it, and it doesn't take a full blown industrial expansion. As it is, industrial producers combined with jump freighter importers have a huge advantage over local industry in nullsec. If that's the intention of CCP then it's been executed really well, but I have to wonder why.
Honestly, I've been asking many of the same questions literally from the day outposts were released for construction. With regard to null-sec infrastructure, the lack of iteration and change with regard to outposts / stations or whatever has been conspicuously absent. While I do think that there should be some parts of industry that are most efficient in all four 'areas' - null, low and high sec, along with wormhole space, I fully support the ability for sovereign holders to build up their space to be as self-sufficient and efficient as possible. I think we are missing a lot of things that could be real ISK sinks and help improve null-sec industry and living conditions greatly. In terms of station specific things ~the dream~ I'd like to see stuff like:
- The ability of sov holders to shut down / disassemble outposts that are not used, obsolete or in the way.
- Allowing multiple outposts per system.
- Improved upgrades to existing outposts that allow their functionality to be competitive with their Empire counterparts.
- True (Empire-like) Space Stations - bigger, better, more expensive and time consuming to build.
- An even bigger tier (Citadels) that can be built in designated Sovereign capital systems.
Big stuff. Expensive stuff. Stuff that requires team-work and planning and rewards those efforts.
Let me step back in time a bit to frame my thoughts on this. In some respects, the financial aspects of this are something that aren't really appreciated today. When outposts were first released, 20-25 billion ISK was an IMMENSE sum of money. More importantly, you could not load the outpost construction eggs with a freighter - you had to use a small fleet of normal Industrial haulers. From finances to the physical effort of construction, it required a level of teamwork that's been missing for years. Once it became essentially a 'one man job' to actually deploy and finance an entire dock-able space station, they became as common as trees in a forest and we lost a vital part of what made null-sec feel like 'frontier space'.
If we are allowed the ability to truly consolidate and build up certain areas of space instead of the generic sprawl that exists now, it would be a vast improvement. I've never understood the reasoning behind why sovereign null-sec powers are not allowed to fully 'cut the cord' from Empire due to industrial inefficiencies. They should be able to develop their way to parity. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

From this and one other of your comments, you seem to be very concerned with CCP's lot in life, rather than our (the paying customers) continued contribution to CCP's coffers - you're not CCP Zulu in disguise are you? So far we've seen one CSM delegate removed for being naughty with privileged information - the NDA they sign must be working since we haven't seen any more of this behaviour since.
Would you prefer to have an EVE without the CSM? Serious question, no troll.
I'm pretty sure the CSM would be a lesser entity without him, so he gets my vote. Given the obvious (and not so obvious) agendas being pushed by certain other "alliance" candidates it's going to be very important to have at least one voice of reason and sanity being heard. And make no bones about it...Seleene does get heard.
+1 to Seleene for CSM 7. |

To be honest I am concerned. I do think the CSM has been high-jacked by big fight politics and not enough emphasis has been put on more subtle economic warfare.
No, I'm not Zulu, I'm a self-taught self-employed graphic designer raised in Manchester England who spends far too much time playing games. I'm a bit worried that you compared me to CCP Zulu. Something about him made me feel slightly nervous. I know that is uncharitable to say bit it's true.
I do think Seleene has the games best interests at heart and has walked through fire to position himself where he is now. But he was (I believe) instrumental in directing CCP away from incarna. For that I'm afraid I have to place my vote elsewhere. |

No, I don't think that CCP has 'lost control' of anything but I do think that any attempt to marginalize or reduce the standing of the CSM would backfire tremendously. CCP has invested a lot of time and money into promoting the CSM as a partner in their interactions with the community. In that respect, the Genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back. Overall though, I believe the CSM continues to evolve from being less of a 'watchdog' and more of a proper community liaison group. I believe that the people at CCP who work with and talk to the CSM daily are much happier with us being around than not. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

I don't consider myself one of the hijackers as, if you scan through this thread, my blog or other threads I've participated in, you'll see that I'm just as likely to write a wall of text about industry and economics as I am about giant planet destroying war machines.

No, m8, my problem with anything Incarna-related is that CCP needs a proper plan for it, good design that allows for actual game play elements and, IF it is going to contain micro-transactions, a sensible pricing model and wide variety of customization. These issues need to be resolved while, in the meantime, CCP devotes the next couple development cycles to fixing the everyday game play elements that have been broken or lacking iteration for years.
I didn't steer CCP away from having full body avatars or any of the stuff associated with it - I took a stand that after five years of development Incarna was a poorly released expansion with exactly zero game play and crippling graphics performance issues. If you read my latest blog entry, there is a part where I answer a question about the New Player Experience that show just one of the reasons why I wish it WOULD work. I would love to see the in game avatar concept properly realized and brought into the game and I would support a well thought out effort by CCP to do it properly, which I think most people would agree the Incarna release was not.

so seleene ccp soundwave is working on Titan Tracking...
what are your thoughts on this nerf?
should there ever be a "golden gun"/ "i win button" in any game?
one of the errors i see with current game mechanics is that more people means that you can A. tank more incoming dps B. do more outgoing dps....
the game has shifted to two paradigms one being a massive person blob and two being a massive SP/expensive ship blob...
would you support a change to how damage is received and repaired to make some sort of "diminishing results" to encourage more diversity in the standard fleet fight?

In that case how would you feel about completely dropping the corporation management interface from the neocom and completely re-mastering it as a drag and drop interface only accessible in avatar in station. I mean, what sane corp leader does that hellish stuff in space anyway?
IGÇÖd love to see a user friendly corporation management interface that allowed me to group certificates to roles, roles to ship loadouts, corp loadouts to squads, squads to wings, wings to (wing) formations, wing formations to fleets and fleets to allied battled groups all with a one flick toggle as who has access to each named set.
incarna is ideally suited for the creation of strategists planning tool, with theoretical dps counts and mining yield calculators that can be shared real time with other directors in the planning room at HQ.
Even in HighSec that would make HQ an important location to defend not just another random throw away office.
Can you with your stated positon justify the resources required to pull that off for the limited number of people who would immediately enjoy the benefits? Obviously everyone would benefit from being managed more effectively but it would be an intangible improvement to most people.
TheyGÇÖre going to have to do something like that to manage the planet side dust-busters anyway aren't they?

For example you backstabed the GBC. You had inside knowledge of the game because you were working for CCP and that gives you an unfair advantage over the rest of the players. And also i admit something else. Since your election on CSM 6 you have sided with us the rest of the players on improving the failure that was the Incarna expancion and that was great for me. What i see here now again though, is that you run again for the CSM which makes me, personal to think again about your motives. You are not special Seleene. There are many good players out there that are very smart and can help the players of Eve to help the game become beter. |

Get over it friend. I was on the receiving end of the "backstab" at the time. It was a legitimate and sensible game move for the MC to make. I'm in his corp now.
Quote:You had inside knowledge of the game because you were working for CCP and that gives you an unfair advantage over the rest of the players.
Erm, No. You are confused in your timelines here. When anyone joins CCP as an employee, their player accounts are locked and they have to make new ones. You can't be Seleene and CCP Abathur at the same time. Its against your employment contract.
Your statement here is pure tinfoil.

I am all for UI improvements, especially to the corp management interface. I am not for making anything accessible "ONLY" in one fashion or another. If such functionality would be enhanced / improved by doing it with your avatar, that's fine, but it should still be optional.
IGÇÖd love to see a user friendly corporation management interface that allowed me to group certificates to roles, roles to ship loadouts, corp loadouts to squads, squads to wings, wings to (wing) formations, wing formations to fleets and fleets to allied battled groups all with a one flick toggle as who has access to each named set.

You are describing what a lot of people thought Incarna would be for years - a way to meaningfully interact with other players and perform game play affecting functions. I can see this probably happening with a normal UI re-vamp before it's incorporated into any meaningful way with avatars.
Snowflake Tem wrote:Even in HighSec that would make HQ an important location to defend not just another random throw away office.
If you are talking FPS action, there has never been any indication that CCP will EVER go in that direction. In fact, at Fanfest 2009, they made what was called the 'Wooden Spoon' argument. Basically, they don't want people killing each other with wooden spoons in stations, aka, no avatar PVP. At present, with the current resources allocated, I can't see something like this ever seeing the light of day unless there has been a drastic 180 degree change no one is aware of.

The problem is that you would literally need not only an entire CSM dedicated to this but the majority of the player community as well; that is just not going to happen in the current climate, not after last year's debacle. A lot of what you are talking about seems to, SEEMS TO, be taken from a couple of concept trailers that CCP released over the past few years. There is little chance of that particular 'Vision of the Future' coming to pass until CCP resolves some very basic issues with EVE's every day game play and how that's supposed to link to DUST.

I think we will be surprised at the amount of stuff CCP comes up with this year that's not on anyone's mind yet. They have several times the resources to work with and I believe it will be in their best interests to surprise us. In the meantime, there's no harm in throwing ideas out there for folks to mull over.

This is where you cross over from being a troll to just blathering idiocy. You see, you're not attacking me with this statement - you're attacking my friends and former work colleagues by suggesting that because of one bad apple, no one else can be trusted either. It is this kind of tinfoil bullshit that drives Devs away from the discussion table and not want to play the game.

Yes, EXACTLY!! I think being able to burn farmland, pillage resources, tear down landmarks, shatter peaceful moon colonies and hunt space whales illegally such should be standard fare for null sec warfare.

Seleene is a former CCP dev, a long-time player, and a long-time Titan pilot. If I -- who am none of these things -- were to say what he said, it might be OK. But Seleene is running on a platform of "I've been around since 2003, from MC to Iceland and back. I know ****." Therefore, he should have a firm opinion on this issue and shouldn't have to side-step it. Therefore, he shouldn't have to wait for someone else's opinion -- even CCP Tallest's -- before offering his own.
Hell, I don't even know if CCP Tallest has ever flown a Titan in combat. I'll bet he hasn't. But I know Seleene has. Therefore, for him to side-step this question is unacceptable.
From the stand-point of judging his opinion, I don't care whether he says "Titans are fine as is" or "They're broken, and this is why" or "I don't think tracking should be nerfed, but this thing over here should be." What I do care about is him having an opinion other than "I'm going to wait and see which way the wind blows."

Therefore, he shouldn't have to wait for someone else's opinion -- even CCP Tallest's -- before offering his own. Hell, I don't even know if CCP Tallest has ever flown a Titan in combat. I'll bet he hasn't. But I know Seleene has. Therefore, for him to side-step this question is unacceptable. From the stand-point of judging his opinion, I don't care whether he says "Titans are fine as is" or "They're broken, and this is why" or "I don't think tracking should be nerfed, but this thing over here should be." What I do care about is him having an opinion other than "I'm going to wait and see which way the wind blows."
:motherofGod:
Jester, have you not done your homework on this where I am concerned? I'm not side-stepping anything, I just posted my latest thought on it which is simple - I've made my thoughts known on this a few times, both publicly and through official channels to CCP. It's in their hands now and I'm waiting to see what the results are before I go off the rails speculating as to what the final call is. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff.

AMEN agree 100 %
On a different note , how about only allowing a certain number of titans in a system due to some really intelligent sounding space limitation that way tracking of them could be fairly untouched . Just a idea |

You asked for an opinion about it, which I've given - I think it's fine if Titans are tweaked to where they cannot BLAP BLAP BLAP subcaps so easily. If you are waiting on me to give you my silver bullet solution to this problem, that's not going to happen, but I'll explain my mindset a bit more anyway.
I'm not in total disagreement that 'something' needs to be done, however, just doing a straight up nerf isn't necessarily the best answer. Here's the other rub of it all - be it Titans, Supercarriers, Battleships, T2 HACs, Tengus, Cruise-missile launching Crows, Cav Ravens, whatever - at some point in EVE there has always been a situation where this side or that side was out-spent, out-classed, out-skill pointed, out-thought, whatever. The one thing that has not always necessarily been true is that NUMBERS > all. Sadly, in most situations, this is still the case.
Vile Rat and I had a chat one time where he told me (not an exact quote) that I was a player that basically "grew up knowing / exploiting all of the advantages of a veteran player". It does ring true in a way. I led an alliance that literally did nothing but focus on recruiting high skill point dudes that flew battleship fleets with T2 guns (which was still an achievement as late as early 2007) T2 HACs and cap ships. I did this because, at the time, those were the force-equalizers that allowed a 500-600 man alliance (MC never broke 650 members until near the last few months) to fight larger entities over and over again. I'm guilty of being of the mindset that there SHOULD be things in the game that firewall giant blobs of Numbers > ALL.
This doesn't mean I think that the current iteration and numbers of turret titans is "okay" by any means. I don't deny that they are powerful or hard to kill or whatever adjective you want to apply to them. I wanna see the things dying by the dozens in big, epic fights as much as the next person. But I'm also wary of this "just delete/ nerf all the big things!" mentality which would basically mean he who can field 500 or 1000 dudes in battleships / drakes / rifters wins EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I didn't put these ships into the game but I was given the task of making them not as retardedly game breaking as they used to be. I talked to literally hundreds of players about this stuff over 2 years ago. Nearly all agreed that the AoE Doomsday was just DUMB beyond belief, so we got rid of that. Had iteration continued, I would have likely agreed with and pushed for stopping the DD from popping sub-caps. We all agreed that watching a titan vaporize in 30-40 seconds because the HP was so laughably stupid was anti-climatic and dumb as hell, so we beefed that up because who the hell was ever going to put one into combat (SO IT CAN DIE DIE DIE) if it had less HP than a tanked Dread? We realized that XL turret tracking needed a look see so we did that a bit but figured we'd see where it went and iterate on it.
What we didn't see, any of us, was that it would take said iterations over 2 years to come into play.
I find myself in intense agreement with most perceptions on how these things affect null sec PVP; even candidates like Elise acknowledge that there is "A PROBLEM", yet I come from a very different school of thought with regard to how I've spent my time in EVE actually fighting wars. So here we are again, in the age old situation where tweaking something may not be enough but nerfing it to hell and beyond isn't exactly optimal either.
Thus far, about the only thing I've seen that seems to walk the line is the 'targeting signature limit' thing. However, I still believe the bigger problem is blobs of ALL kinds being able to focus fire on a single target which has caused more arguments than I can even remember, be it about cruisers, BS, Titans or whatever.
So, those are my thoughts in total and I'm waiting to see what happens when CCP Tallest gets back with us on how they are going to approach all this. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Until that is addressed, fleet sizes will expand. The extra headroom provided by TiDi will be consumed sooner or later. Lag will return. And we'll be right back where we started from. Re-Elect Trebor to the CSM - because I have not yet plumbed the depths of my inherent masochism!

My first titan came out of the oven in August of 2007. I'm not sure what number it was but I do know there were less than ten in the game at the time. While it ~felt good~, tbh I was actually more proud of the efforts of all the folks in the MC that helped finance it and build the thing. Even back then it didn't feel to me like any sort of end game, it was just another aspect of the game. These days, with so many of the damn things flying around, I still feel pretty much the same - it's just one more ship. In a way I suppose that's sad but it is what it is.
rodyas wrote:With it undergoing these nerfs as well as the supercarrier nerf, do you think EVE will be lacking end game content?
I don't think EVE should ever have 'end game' content; I do think it should have 'epic' content or content that is geared at players that have exhausted their achievable goals, trained every ship, whatever. I believe that after a certain amount of time, EVE as a whole is lacking in terms of new paths to explore or ladders to climb. I don't really relate my game experience or enjoyment to a particular ship class getting boosted / nerfed; I'm more frustrated that there isn't anything really left in EVE for me to explore or build or discover. There's no mysteries to solve or dark places to investigate (and exploit). With this mindset, it's probably a bit easier to understand why I enjoyed helping to create wormholes in Apocrypha.
rodyas wrote:Also it seems like some people want fleets to be more end game content rather then pwn ship like the supers are as end game content. Wondering what your thoughts are?
While I don't think that they should be WTFBBQ solo mobiles, I do believe that Titans and Supercarriers should be powerful warships, capable of wreaking havoc appropriate to the efforts needed for their construction and skill set. What 'appropriate ' means is obviously something still under debate.
Insofar as other ships are concerned, I refer you to my comments (and Trebor's as well) above. There needs to be some sort of 'sweet spot' where just bringing more numbers starts to provide diminishing returns. How exactly to properly apply that rule in a ~sandbox game~ is certainly something that's been looked at for a long time. I don't know if we'll ever see a silver bullet for it but I'm always open to ideas on how to apply a bit more sanity to the situation.
Lastly, I'm not really sure what the 'end game' in EVE is. To me it's not about just the ships themselves because there are a lot of social aspects to EVE that you can't balance with numbers. I'd simply put forth that it's obviously different things to different people. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

I do like the end game content topic alot so I guess I can start there.
I had forgotten about your pretty stellar past and time with the game. I suppose someone who does as much as you constantly, end game content would feel normal or just regular game playing. I suppose EVE will need end game content as well as UBER end game content for you and like minded players.
My definition of end game content is how the Devs do work and their high lvl or work to the game. I do like the sandbox, but we do pay money for devs to come up with ideas. So Devs doing alot = end game content, but then sandbox and players doing things. Maybe they could conflict and be hard if they do.
Just maybe had a good idea, so will skip there. Where you liked Titans but its hard to balance them and have them operate well. As well as you liking fleets and them doing well but that balanced with sandbox and number of players = trump card. I really have liked the T2 ship design with the roles that they are given. ( honestly and sadly dont have the SP to fly them, so those ideas are a bit rough.) Those roles are like a warrior or a mage in way. That does get a bit wierd when said. So the T2 ships are created and have roles that give them advantages over non role ships. Of course a blob is stronger then the T2 ships roles are plus T2 is expensive as well. So I thought the balance for this or crux, could be T2 titan and SC as well as regular capitals.( Also T2 with emphasis in roles. so T2 caps and titans would have a new role to go with them.) Those T2 with the T2 sub cap support could be a fierce fleet and give blobs a run for their money. Of course this is end game content and design. Propably not normal game design per se. I usually designate null sec as raid area and raids go well with end game content. So the Blob fleet vs. T2 fleets would happen propably in null sec mostly. Low and hi sec would be free from that happening. All I got so that is that.
You working on the wormholes is pretty unique as well since CCP stated no support would be given to them. Kind of why CCP wanted them to be nomadic not static. At least as how I took it. I do like the new ideas and stuff like you said you liked. But support is always hard really, and not sure where to gain it. Thought maybe you would know more about this perhaps.
Think that is all I have and thanks for the replies as well. Good reading disorientating |

^^ This.
How many times have we heard the complaints about EvE "turning into WoW" before?
If we're going to make a sandbox sandier, we have to abandon the old MMO paradigm of character development as a linear affair. To see the largest ships as "end game" content, or even to use the term "end game" at all, is to fall into the same trap facing conventional level-based systems. We shouldn't be surprised to end up wrestling with the issue of stat creep even in EvE, as special a snowflake as it may be.
I don't think most EvE players see big numbers as the real source of awe and excitement. As Seleene pointed out, these days Titans scale just like any other ship, and lost their appeal as soon as enough numbers appear in the game that focus fire takes away the novelty of their gargantuan size. When 1000 ships assemble in EvE, It matters little whether its battleships facing battleships, or titans facing titans. Stuff just starts popping.
The circumstances of the fight are the real thrill GÇô the story that led to 1000 players clashing in the first place. Of all the things about EvE that change with fleet size, narrative actually transforms more interestingly than anything else. The smaller the gang the more the pilots themselves are the heroes of the story. As fleets get larger, the characters in the tale become the corporations involved, and eventually the alliances, coalitions, and megalomaniacs that make the news.
Seleene is on to something really valuable here GÇô as a CSM we shouldn't be pushing the number or size envelope as much as we push for greater depth in gameplay. Titans should have an epic role to play in an engagement, and not simply become frontline fighters like the battleships of old, losing their sense of identity and purpose. |

I do however understand why the link to role-play and empire space is frowned upon. Because it is too static, It is far too rigid even in Faction Warfare.

Coincidentally enough, Mittens just wrote a column about this exact thing: EVE Born.
While I don't agree with everything he says, I think that reading the article sheds some light on exactly why some players act the way you asked about. Up until the 'community' mind-set came to EVE, there was much more of a focus on maintaining at least a minimal illusion of staying true to EVE canon. It could be argued that I 'role-played' the fist big mercenary alliance; hell, just reading some of the old campaign posts that's an easy argument to make. Players like Sir Molle & Evil Thug certainly injected a bit of 'character' into their in-game persona. All of these people are typically pretty chill in real life and nothing like their in-game actions. Hell, the last time I checked, even Mittens doesn't wander through his neighborhood randomly murdering people and crowing about it to the 5 o'clock news.

I ******* KNEW when that thing was put in there that it would be there until the servers shut down because CCP never bothers to follow through on story line elements properly. It's stupid. Another example - back in 2005, a Serpentis Admiral stole a Gallente titan (live event). It jumped through gates and did strange smart bomb stuff, but that didn't matter (there were no titans in EVE at that point). Players from everywhere rallied to kill the thing but a few folks in ATUK and the MC had other ideas - we attacked the fleets trying to kill the titan and prevent the theft. For several hours, we fended off all comers, eventually getting the Titan 'docked' up in Serpentis Prime. CCP was so taken aback by this unexpected turn of events that they had no idea how to even react or reward us. The end result was a few BPCs and hardly a mention of it in the news, not even something as simple as a permanent +10 with Serpentis or anything.
I tell this story to emphasize that I fully relate to where you're coming from and reverently hope that CCP wakes up and finds a way to resolve issues like this that tie into the actual fiction of EVE.

Again, I think the stigma against RP that exists in EvE is a holdout from the way that role play is treated in other, more traditional MMO's. With only flowery speech and a narrow palette of actions with which to define a character, it ends up a lot more theatrical than it needs to be in EvE Online to be considered role play.
Deepening the sandbox should only enhance the ability to role play in EvE, not detract from it. Faction Warfare often gets stereotyped as a RP community, despite that being far from the truth. (See this battle report for evidence.) I actually wish there was MORE opportunity for role play in FW than currently exists, the problem lies in the lack of real consequence to system takeover. Players have come to expect the ability to shape the world around them in EvE, so when they come to Faction Warfare and find out they can't do that, immersion gets broken and players are left with only flowery speech again, just like any other MMO.
I want to see enemy-occupied stations actually turn their guns on the enemy. I want to see friendly mission agents taken hostage when you lose control of a system. I want to see militia pilots actually paid to fight each other instead of paid to shoot the computer. I'd love to see standings with the various NPC corps in EvE have more in-game consequences.
There is a lot of great backstory that surrounds those of us who live in Empire space, its a shame the game doesn't allow us to interact with it in a more visceral way. There are so many ways to enhance practical role playing in this game I hate to see it limited once again to fan fiction and speech patterns. Both can be fun but they only scratch at the surface when it comes to the ways we we should be able to define our personas in EvE Online. |

Why Seleene, for a Sebestor you sure know how to get this Gallente chickGÇÖs attention.
But iGÇÖm not in this for love nor money, I really think there is a fundamental problem with RP in EVE. As an EVE born - as The Mittani describes it: EVE promises a new player the universe and delivers just this: nothing, nothing, lies, disappointment and then the freedom to kick at each other in a way that is completely divorced from game lore.
I remember being devastated to find that the Hacking skill has nothing to do with breaking into another persons ship so that I could hi-jack it.
I remember being proud of my EVEmon skill plan to fly a Moros built to be an efective bounty hunter only to hear, actually donGÇÖt bother mate the bounty hunting system is a joke.
I still save up mission acquired boosters in the hope that CCP will revive the smuggling mechanic.
RPers donGÇÖt play this game for anything CCP has done for them as a new player, they play it despite of the glaring holes in the game mechs. |

I find great amusement in the fact that the personality quiz currently on the EvE website tells aspiring pilots they can be a "Bounty hunter" by training a drake and grabbing missions. I think we all know what that career path is going to get them labeled as by the existing player base, and its certainly not "bounty hunter". |

Adding t2 bpo's to the game for many years was considered a reasonable move, but with the advent of PI the empire POS costs went up by 20-30%, then again with fuel blocks the prices have almost doubled from pre-PI prices to run an empire POS.
Does CCP still think the t2 bpo's aren't a serious advantage when the t2 BPO holders don't require a POS to make their modules?
I can sit in Amarr and produce on the manufacturing slots right at the trade hub with only 3-4 days delay. If I were a t2 bpo holder, why wouldn't I do that?
In order to make t2 cap rechargers for instance. The outlay for 2000 units is 490m including datacores. The sale price for 2000 units is 1.3b. This requires 2 weeks of clickfest. EVERY DAY. Profit 800m. -420m for pos fuel costs for my large tower to do it all in.
Are t2 bpo's still a valid mechanic?
Is CCP going to stop nerfing newer industrial players? Or is PVP the only valid gameplay they see in the future?

I think there are *slightly* more defined roles for the player run alliances and groups than say faction war militias. Player groups tend to be together for some sort of reason.
I think I know a bit more about an eve player if I am familiar with their Player run alliance than I do if I just know they are in Caldari, amarr, minmatar orGallente faction war. The latter really tells me almost nothing about the person. They might be interested in pvp but thats about it. If someone is in pandemic legion, Noir, Goons, raiden, test, cva, tuskers, agony, or vetoe etc. I think I get *slightly* better picture of what roles they play in game based on the "roles" many of their alliance mates play.
Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

So I'm curious as to who you will vote for then. Do you think that you would vote for say .... someone who cant think of a cool sounding original name and decides to be a US president instead for example ?
Trolling aside, your argument makes no sense. You aren't a dead president. We're all forum alts. Eve is a game and the avatars we wear are irrelevant. What's important to us as real people who play a game, is that the game works, doesn't have moronic design flaws and bugs that don't get fixed for years, and is fun for all of us.
Either vote for someone who can get that point of view across or STFU man.

I like your thoughts on industry. I've always considered industry and trade among the most fascinating aspects of EVE, in principle, yet extremely frustrating to get involved in. All areas of industry, from PI to mining to invention and manufacture, seem to have been designed to make the experience as dull, sterile and miserable as possible.
Take PI, for example. It's fairly easy for newbies to get into, so it's a shame the entire PI system is in such a sorry state that it'll leave most new players disappointed. PI sucks, both content-wise and from a bells-and-whistles standpoint. It has no depth to speak of, it has an irritating UI, and the circles-and-lines graphics aren't very attractive either. It's bizarre to think that any professional game designer could have come up with a system so completely devoid of any kind of fun.
PI could easily be an entertaining little minigame with complexity (note to CCP: "complexity" is not the same as "more hoops to jump") and meaningful choices, something some players might enjoy tinkering with for hours, something that looks and feels like managing a planetary colony. In other words, something akin to what was advertised before PI was released. Yet right now the only redeeming quality of PI is that you can get a decent profit out of it without spending too much time on it. Fixing issues like these, making the industry and economy aspects of the sandbox more accessible and fun, would benefit the game, and I hope you keep pushing for iteration in this area once you've been re-elected. |

was wondering bout getting your ear on a proposal ive been deep in though about for a long while and recently posted it on F&I section, as you've worked on Sov mechanics b4 management pulled the rug from underneath ur team, would be very interested in what you think about it, and maybe (even if the entire proposal is a tad imbalanced for whatever reason) it'd give you some unusual and interesting new ideas of approaching Sov!

Even though I personally have PL on red doesn't mean I don't want the game as a whole to evolve. Seleene's intricate knowledge and love for the game is exactly what needs to be present in the CSM. It needs people who are dedicated to the full of EVE and not just to segments they mainly play in.
So Seleene is the logical choice to stand behind for the CSM.

Resubbed just to vote! (Currently deployed, can't play). As a fellow beta-to-present player, Seleene represents and stands for pretty much everything I've been looking for in Eve since they went and broke everything with WTZ.

It's nice to stand on a rock of sanity once in a while. I'm saying that because I know you have kids, and anyone who looks after a family with kids gets the nonsense of youth scared out of them by the harsh realities pretty quickly.

Got to agree here. If you take a look at the forums at the moment, people are trying to polarise the candidates with regard to highsec and nullsec and frankly that's not what eve is.
I think people need to go re-look at that butterfly effect video and understand whether people are high or nullsec the changes are going to effect them no matter what.
I really think you have to look at balanced candidates, not self-defined high-sec or 0.0 spokespeople.

One of the ads says "I love the Swedes. I gave three swedes a titan. All Swedes should vote for me." Is this some poor attempt at a joke or a serious effort to get swedish votes by sucking up to them and promising them titans?

1.) It's a serious attempt to get votes by promising Titans (that are getting nerfed), which shows my commitment to bribery far exceeds that of simple folk offering PLEXes.
2.) It's a joke due to the number of Swedes in my corp and their love of spending corp funds.

Get them to vote.
But don't let them random vote. Make them read through the candidates and make up their minds. Every vote counts. |

This is why Trebor is a good CSM - he makes the rest of us seem at least 10% less creepy. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Nah, you all are and will always remain creepy.
At those magnitudes of creepyness a mere 10% reduction is hardly noticeable.

One of the ads says "I love the Swedes. I gave three swedes a titan. All Swedes should vote for me." Is this some poor attempt at a joke or a serious effort to get swedish votes by sucking up to them and promising them titans? 1.) It's a serious attempt to get votes by promising Titans (that are getting nerfed), which shows my commitment to bribery far exceeds that of simple folk offering PLEXes. 2.) It's a joke due to the number of Swedes in my corp and their love of spending corp funds. Gotta be one of the two, eh? Terrorfrodo wrote:I didn't vote for Seleene, but until I saw those ads he seemed a serious and electable candidate. Now, not so much. Sorry if a bit of humor turned you off m8. v0v I'm not slagging anyone, and had you clicked on the ad link it takes you to my main campaign page which should clarify if I'm a serious candidate or not. (I am.)
I knew I had the wrong nationality in order to get free stuff. On the other hand I have no use for a Titan nor for any cap ship at all. I simply refuse to fly that crap.

So glad my vote wasn't wasted.
Grats. CCP is unable to implement simpliest things. Like settting to hide signatures. So they sweep it under a rug . Children do that in their pre-shool years, CCP does it being adults. Probably because it is fearless enough. |
