Hello all,
My name is MongWen (Real Life name: Karl Fredrik), and I am running as a candidate for the first the Council of Stellar Management (CSM).
I may not be as known as the other people in the running at the moment, but I hope that does not exclude me form getting your vote. If I do get elected I will do my best to serve the community and my view on any issue that the council will get, and I hope that the elected council will help making EvE go in the right direction and become better than it currently is.
I am not running for my alliance or my corporation, I am running just for the love of the game, and I will accept any out come of the voting, and will give 100% if I do get on the council. And I will not be a yes man, since I really want to understand both sides of an issue/idea before I cast my vote on the matter, info on both sides can come form both the forums, in game and the council members them self. And I donÆt mind getting flamed for things I say or do, but if I am wrong I can be the first to say that I am.
On the issue that people apply for the council just to get a free trip to Iceland, I can say that I did not apply for the CSM for the trip, I applied to make a difference and love of the game.
In game I am the guy that created United Corporations Against Macros [UCAM] close to a year ago, and I manly hunt farmers/macros to achieve the goal of disrupting them form making ISK. And I started EVE as a care bear doing allot of trading and mining/hauling, and still have a alt on a different account that I still use for mining and building stuff.
The issue I may be strongest at is the fight against RMT (Real Money Trade), and I will base a lot off my views on ideas/issues that can affect farmers in a bad way.
If you have any questions please reply here or send me a mail in game. And I will get it answered as soon as possible.

MongWen,
Can I ask what your opinion is on GTC sales under the CCP secure system; is this a good or bad thing for EVE?
C.
In my honest opinion the GTC system (the secure trade) has its proÆs and cons.
On one side it can be looked at as a ôcheatö for the sellers to get ISK using real money and creating an unfair advantage to others. But it also creates a way for the players that canÆt afford the monthly fee to play the game, given they pay for their game time with in game currency.
The other side is that it crates a way that in combats the RMT the farmers/macro miners do create and I would rather let CCP get the money than someone else and give someone to play longer.
I have been on both sides of the GTC buying and selling, and I have a the view that it gives the legit player a chance to obtain ISK without giving real money to someone that exploits MMO players for the sole purpose of making real money.

I have several questions, and taking a page out of Talkuth RelÆs book, I decided to ask each candidate in their own threadà
1)Invention û A good idea that still needs workà
a.Have you ever tried invention?
b.What ideas do you have to improve invention?
Invention is here to stay, and with my limited knowledge of it I think it needs some work.
Yes, I have tried a few ship invention jobs, I have gotten a few successes out of it.
Well due to my limited knowledge of it the problem is that it is kind of hard for people that want to get into it and make a profit of some of the modules and ammo/crystals. So maybe making the whole process a bit easier to get into as well as maybe getting the total cost of invention with regards to the decryptors down a bit so that everyone that wants to take a shot at t2 production (and t3 one day).
Originally by: Hamfast
2)Pilot Security Level û Should it be more important?
a.(In High Sec) û Should Concord react faster if the victim has a higher security level? If the attacker has a lower rating?
b.Should the Security Level of a system affect changes to Pilot Security level changes?
c.Should the Security Level of a Targeted Pilot have more of an effect on the security change of the attacker?
A Pilots security level should play more into the game, maybe not in the way of gaining protection in high sec. And forcing changes to the concord / standings / system security level can be a game breaker for some people that use it as a valid tactic at the moment, and suicide ganking is not that much of a problem if the player that is the target of people that employ this kind of tactic.
From what I do in game I can see mission farmers gaining a lot more sense of security form changes that gives people with high sec status more security.
Concord is not there for giving security, its there to give consequences in high sec, and it should remain that way.
Originally by: Hamfast
3)Industry û The Creators of Eve
a.Do you regularly build anything?
b.Do you regularly mine?
c.What do you think could be done to improve industry in Eve?
d.You have been asked to help with new ships for industrial characters, describe a few ideasà
I do build stuff form time to time both T1 and T2, both to fill my own needs and that of my alliance mates.
The only thing I do mine form time to time is ice, though I must admit that is much more fun to steal it form macro miners (barges that sit in the same belt day in and day out, not saying anything in local about loosing x blocks of ice).
When it comes to ways to improve the industrial part of eve I think it needs to be friendlier to new players with regards to them to make a profit of building stuff without having to have Production Efficiency level 5. maybe making corporations more important on the market maybe even changing the market in a way that gives the players corp stores and/or create a way for players to select who they buy form and sell to.
As for ideas for ships I think a baby freighter that has half the cargo space of a Jump freighter and be a stepping stone between haulers/transport ships and freighter, can addition, along with the Orca (high sec baby Rorqual). Other than that I donÆt know to be honest.

MongWen,
I have seen a number of members of UCAM around. Can you enlighten me to other polices you might have, being a relatively new player I have not had any encounters with these Macro people, however my previous MMORPG had a similar problem.
I would be interested to hear your policies.
Cheers,
DV
My main reason for running is to present the view on issues/ideas that can affect the fight against them, since me and my alliance members deal with farmers on a each and every day in game, and creating a mile long list of issues and ideas that I want to change into this and that is wrong in my opinion, and I would rather give my view on issues and ideas on a case by case situation.
I am in the running to give my opinion based on what the community wants or views and present that to CCP, and give the feedback form CCP back to the community.

This is quite true. But I must ask, what is your opinion on increasing consequences for those individuals that DO decide to walk the wrong side of the line? Say for example, due to police enforced punishment, offender is denied insurance payout. What would be your take on this?
From my point of view as a player that uses suicide runs as a tactic against farmers, as do some of my alliance members. Removing insurance payout will cost us more, and in a small way remove some off my and others play styles in game. Having more of a security hit will make our targets in game more safe in high sec, and it will be a whine nightmare on the forums if changes like that happen.
I am against making high sec secure since eve is supposed to be a dark grim world.

[ ] The Ninja Salvager should NOT be aggro'd to the Mission Runner after the first wreck is salvaged, because I support CCP's current ruling that Salvage is free for anyone with the proper tools to retrieve from wrecks.
Now when people start to östealö the salvage when you are still in the mission, there are no real way to get back at them since the ones I have seen in my missions has been in a NPC corp so decing them is kind of pointless.
Nothing is more annoying than seeing the salvage that you want going to other players and you sit there with no viable option other than a suicide run the salvage thief, and if you donÆt want the salvage in the first place then you will probably ignore the one invading your mission.

1. What are your ideas on getting rid of macro-users?
Getting rid of them is a hard task when it comes to ideas. Since a macro can be programmed to do the same task over and over, it can be easily flagged server side for a GM to have a closer look at the account/person that is only doing the same thing over and over when it comes to mining and the hauler macros that do currier missions 23x7.
Maybe a better communication with the GM team instead off the standard copy paste reply I have seen so many times. Maybe not out right saying that they are farmers/macro users. But requesting more info, giving more info back to the person that petition the suspected macro user.
Having a fully automated system that bans is a bad move since there are a lot of people that mine on a dayly basis, though not on the 23x7 timeline that macros tend to use.
Originally by: Grismar
2. Do you mean mining macro's or do you extend your policies, ideas and solutions to any kind of macro use and could you perhaps give us an idea of where that stops?
There is a few differences since we have few macro miners compared to 0.0 farmer ratters, currier mission haulers, even gangs of kill mission farmers.
Originally by: Grismar
3. What do you feel should be done about RMT, what changes to the current situation would you propose?
More info from the GM team or CCP, which contains info on just how many macro users/farmers that has been petitioned and found to be tied to RMT and banned, along with how much isk/items that has been removed form the game. And maybe some other figures that can be tied to RMT. And ofc no names of the buyers/sellers should be made public unless they go to the forums and whine that CCP did remove isk form a player that didnÆt buy isk (but realy did).
Since the best way to stop RMT is to show that CCP removes if found, and that will have a higher impact in the lines of people that believe that they can get a away with it, to second guess if itÆs a good idea to buy isk form a farmer.
Originally by: Grismar
4. What do you mean by farming in the first place?
A Farmer is normally a player (aka sweatshop worker) that gets paid real money to generate in game currencies and items to sell for real money. but in theory that also includes macro miners
Originally by: Grismar
5. How should farming be prevented and where does farming stop and simple repetitive rat hunting or complex running start?
I for donÆt want to hurt the legit players that have to öfarmö up isk for their own use, and stopping down all repetitive tasks can hurt the game. And if I am elected I can not offer the end off farmers and RMT since that is a large task, and I can only offer my support on ideas that can work against it.
