I promise not to write a book as an introduction piece. My overall greatest concern for Eve is the maintenance of the sandbox aspect of the game. I think everyone can agree that POS warfare needs a good looking into. I also think the new player experience could use quite a bit of refinement.
Ultimately these are just a pair of the everyday problems that I contend with within Eve and as a CSM I don't believe that it is my responsibility to necessarily create the dialog, but rather to help shape and advocate for it. I think the CSM affords us a unique opportunity to have a voice in the shaping of our game. I also think that with this opportunity comes great responsibility and we need to be careful what we wish for.
I'd be happy to respond to any questions you may have in the thread below.

Your thread looks a little lonely. Although you are a goonie, I will give you some softballs.
- What is your thoughts on the current statis of T2 BPOs? I would like you to explain your thoughts with an emphasis on the market and oppurtuities for industrialists in mind first, and an impact on PVP as secondary(higher cost = less PVP IMO).
- Can you expand on any ideas that you have to fix POS warfare? As a PVPer primarily this feature interests me greatly. Not just mechanics for killling and defending them, but for Sov in general as this would be greatly affected.
- What do you mean by new player experiances? Do you mean more in-depth PVE to get them finanacialy stable? Do you mean easier ways to get them PVPing? Better tutorial? Please clarify.
- Do you believe that titans are a functional, realistic addition to the game to this point? Do they prohibit PVP? Do they help defend hard earned Sov properly etc etc...
- What is your real problem with pubbies? Did they touch you in bad places?
Feel free to answer any, all or none of these.
I own a T2 BPO and Capital alt, therefor all of my views will be pro-Capital Alt/T2 BPO orientated. Please pick one of the following settings for your response.

Feel free to answer any, all or none of these.
Thanks for the softball! Let me see here...
- I'm not much of a production lad myself. The people I've spoken to within my alliance however seem pretty happy with the state of invention and were long unhappy with the lottery. Eventually we had a few newer folks win bpos in the lottery, but it seemed to be one of those things that the winners loved and the losers hate. The lottery also allowed for market manipulation which is less of an issue now. That being said with so many more people involved in t2 production I'd think you'd see prices go down overtime as the market balances itself out.
- SOV warfare... I personally tie some of my concern for this to another issue I have which is supercap inflation, but I'll try to limit my response to the pos's themselves. One of the more interesting aspects of the new modules that were introduced was the idea that you could create opportunity for fleet fights without caps. This was largely a pipedream, as what ends up happening in reality is that bridges are used to bypass the restrictions of the jammer, loading caps/supercaps into the jammed system and leading to a situation where a standard fleet is simply outmatched without fail on the jammer. I'd like to understand a bit more about what the dev's actual intentions were for jammers and bridges and take a good long look at how they're actually employed to see if this is what they wanted. I'd think not.
- Prior to Goonfleet a great many current Goon players, myself included, had started the game even in beta, and quit because it was simply not very well explained and too hard to figure out or get involved in. Goonfleet has done a mountain of work internally to help people we recruit from outside of eve over this hump. I am a bit torn because I think the fact that this thing is player-driven right now is a good thing, but I also think that a great deal of Eve's mechanics are horribly documented if at all from the types of things a newbie would need to know right down to POS warfare. I'd like to at the least see a bit better documentation as both the fresh-from-the clonevat newbie and the 2 year old newbie could benefit.
- I think that Titans were a fairly poorly conceived product. Hilariously broken at their inception, they have now been further broken by supercap inflation. They're no longer a rare commodity when an alliance can field 12. A non-rare commodity with a magic button on it that can obliterate with one shot most of what's on the overview is just silly. I personally think the original concept of a kind of roving starbase was much more useful than the mess that titans have turned into. They are game breaking.
- Pubbies are a natural target for a sense of nationalistic pride. Many just have simply awful ideas or say silly things. v0v We have pubbies in our alliance just so we have someone to pick on.

Oh boy this is quite a lot of questions. Let me see.
1)
a. No I have not personally tried invention. There are a number of people I know who get a great deal of isk from it and are really happy actually being able to manufacture t2 items, but I am not one of them.
b. I'm personally not familiar enough with the overall process to weigh in on what should be changed. I'd have to take a poll.
2)
a. I'm not sure concord reaction times should matter. I do think negative rating should have an effect, but I don't think reaction time would be an adequate representation of this. We also need to be careful when we talk abotu sec status and restrictions. You can look no further than what Ultima Online turned into as an example of why segregation can fail miserably.
b. This I don't necessarily have a problem with. If you're mucking about shooting innocents in a higher security system it would make sense that your penalty would be higher.
c. This is also an item I'm not necessarily against. It seems to make sense that someone who is valued by concord being killed would concern them more than someone they didn't care about.
3)
I'm sensing a pattern here...
a. I've dabbled on and off in industry. I'm actually getting a lot more involved now.
b. I still mine fairly regularly as well. Many people despise mining because they find it boring, but I really have never had a problem with it.
c. I think the current move towards allowing the markets to adjust themselves without artificial external influences is a good thing. I'm personally looking forward to a REAL completely player driven economy.
d. I'm going to try to come back to this one. I don't really have an answer off the top of my head.

So is it incorrect that the philosophy of goonswarm is to screw things up?
I remember that goonswarm has been very vocal in the general internet media, about how they like to grief games like second life and eve online. Remember the sharkbait incident?

I want to use this bit of space here to provide you with a bit of a resume so to speak.
I am 29 years old. I am currently employed as a computer forensic investigator for a top 5 global pharmaceutical company. I also have a strong background in information security and application development. Most of my application development type experience involved translating business or security related goals to programmers, so that they could be addressed correctly. Doing so requires an understanding of programmatic systems and how the application functions.
I began my MMO career in the early days of Ultima Online. Later in UO I was a member of the LuT guild and still maintain contact with some of my buddies from there. After leaving UO I spent some time helping run two rather well known player run shards... IPY and UO:Redemption. Once they had shut down I found my way to Eve as a Goonfleet newbie.
I am currently the CEO of the largest corporation in Eve. This I believe gives me a unique perspective on how some mechanics function at the higher levels of membership, though I wouldn't expect CCP to fix or even address a problem that was unique to myself. I've also become fairly familiar with what many would consider the "end game" gameplay and have my own ideas and opinions regarding that.
I think that misconceptions aside, my intention is to do my best to ensure that we are all playing the game we want to be playing, not some horrible mishmash of ill conceived ideas. I think it's important for us to preserve the sandbox while not being afraid to try new things.

I think if you spent more time observing our actions than the words of our enemies you'd have a different opinion. Goonswarm doesn't have a "philosophy". Contrary to popular belief there is also no "manifesto".
We don't play second life, we play eve online and play within the frame of the game mechanics. Sharkbait? I don't recall the exact details, but I'll say the same thing to you I said to the last mysterious alt to appear to ask me questions along those lines... I don't work for any press. I can't control what they print. You'd have to ask them why they wrote a story.
If I'm "vocal in the general internet media" it will be because a reporter asked me a question. v0v I fail to see that as a CSM issue in any way. As a matter of fact, none of these are CSM issues.

Remember what CCP says eve stands for?
"A cold, harsh, uncaring world..."
Goons fit perfectly into eve. Their slogan would be:
"A cold, harsh, uncaring, SERIOUS world"
The internet IS serious business, and the goons know it.

How will goonswarm take CSM seriously?
Since you've actually framed it as a question I'm happy to respond, though I wont't speak for every member of Goonswarm. I am an individual running for the opportunity to represent the interests of the larger playerbase of Eve Online, an internet spaceship game. The corporation that I am a member of is involved in every aspect of the game, and as such have a great deal of concern for the future direction of the game as well as a great deal of interest in seeing player grievances handled in a responsible way.
At the end of the day it is in our best interest to see this sandbox flourish and carefully balanced. Part of what we do is to introduce people to Eve who would not otherwise be playing. There's a great deal of insinuation that we wouldn't take the position seriously or that we wish some ill on the game itself, but I find that to be rather silly given that I know our motivation is to play a game that is fun and provides us with entertainment.
I believe the CSM's creation was a recognition by CCP that they'd like to have some form of controlled input from the playerbase to help them with their future direction and to key in on things they may not otherwise have considered themselves. I personally have a great deal of motivation to contribute to this process and dialogue in a meaningful and significant way.
Towers and infrastructure don't fuel themselves. Ships don't build themselves. Ships don't destroy themselves and regions don't simply flip to alliances without a great deal of work. While some of us, myself included, can be greatly irreverant regarding many things I think that the amount of work I've put into the game tells a different story then that of a person who doesn't take the game seriously.
It's a game and should be treated as such on one level and on another, there's a great deal of work that goes into playing the game depending on what endeavours you commit to. Herding 3000 Goons is no easy task and certainly not one that could be done without taking it seriously.

A big part of Gonnswarm, much like a big part of the rest of the playerbase, does not really care about that CSM thing or take it seriously.
The Goonswarm candidates, however, take it very seriously. And that's all that should matter.

Really, the concern I have, is that goonswarm candidates are gonna try and spoil CSM, due to the way they usually conduct themself.
It might be totally unreasonable. I think GS has more respect for themself than that. But you never know.

I think that if you take a look at our presentation from Fanfest last year, or Bane's Titan manifesto, you'll have an example of what happens when we commit ourselves to accomplishing things. I was there for the presentation. Like I said earlier, though we may be a bit flippant at times I wouldn't mistake that for a lack of concern or desire to do hard work. I'm a pretty hard working dude, who wants to see a better game myself. I wouldn't have paid to go to Iceland for a videogame conference I didn't care about.

Q: why do you think that you should be part of the CSM team when you dont appear to have any concern for the eve community, your a racist, complete fool who has no respect for other players. What is it that you will bring to the table that others who are applying will not?
You have a great history of being a massive **** to everyone, I simply cannot understand why you would be considered a great candidate.

Clearly if you think people should be able to mine ... in lowsec I am not the candidate for you.
The link shows High Sec Gankings on the part of your fellow Goons.
Clearly... (since you don't have a clue what was going on in your own corp) why should people be voting for you.
I apologize, I used the wrong word. HIGH SEC, and let's avoid the selective editing as if it's impossible to mine and I'm taking a position I'm not. When CCP changes the mechanics or declares it illegal for us to attack miners in high security systems we'll stop. Until then, those are the rules we live by. Welcome to Eve. Again, my agenda is preserving the sandbox which includes nurturing the cold harsh environment of space. If you don't like that perhaps you've been drawn to the wrong game. I don't see why the rules should change so that you can macro mine.

I suspect that the a majority of people you gasbags killed in the first 6 weeks were not macro miners and I'm quite sure you can't prove they were.

So you can't even think to edit you posts before you hit the submit button and you expect people to vote for you?

Q: why do you think that you should be part of the CSM team when you dont appear to have any concern for the eve community, your a racist, complete fool who has no respect for other players. What is it that you will bring to the table that others who are applying will not?
You have a great history of being a massive **** to everyone, I simply cannot understand why you would be considered a great candidate.
Concern for the eve community? Already addressed. You can refer to my previous posts. Racist? I'm afraid you have the wrong guy. Being racist in Eve would actually be against the EULA. I'll welcome you to retract that vicious attack on my character though. Complete fool with no respect for other players? Baseless personal attack.. no need to respond to that. Great history of being a massive *BADWORD*? I'll lump that in with the previous statement, though your flare for the creation of history is impressive... work on the spelling.
What I bring to the table is a proven track record of management, a professional record that is somewhat different than the rest but completely pertinent and a great deal of previously exhibited care and concern for what happens in this game. Now that game may be different from yours in the Republic Military Academy, but it is indeed a part of the game. I daresay that when all is said and done I represent myself and my corporation without the need to hide behind an alt. I can see the need for one to hide I guess if you're one who wishes to cast unfounded disparaging remarks and avoid having them attached to your person.

I suspect that you can't prove that they WEREN'T macro miners. The point being that were they paying attention to local and operating in a manner more befitting the security level of the space they were mining in then they wouldn't have been blown up. I can only assume based on the careless manner in which they continued to operate in this less than secure space that they weren't paying attention. Macroing or perhaps asleep at the wheel as the case may be.
As to the other point.. I don't recall running on a platform of flawless posting. You can have that one.

There is nothing in the rules of Eve that says you have to pay attention while in high sec mining. In fact they can be afk mining. AFK miners are not breaking the Eula as macro miners are... so you should NOT lump the two together.
Your corp was instrumental in destroying the game play of over a thousand miners with your high sec Ganking.
That clearly shows how interested you are in allowing "players being able to play the game they want to be playing."

And likewise there is nothing in the rules guaranteeing your safety. As a matter of fact, the rules specifically limit their safety. Until those rules are changed they are fair targets. "Playing the game they want to be playing" has to extend within the framework of the rules. I'd recommend they find a place that's actually safe to play in that situation, rather than assume that people will simply leave them alone to afk mine just because.
Getting killed in Eve is a risk we all take. That's part of the game. I have absolutely no interest in the game being gimped so that a few dudes can mine in systems of their choosing unattended. There is plenty within the mechanics to keep them moderately safe if they had chosen to do so. They chose instead to gamble and take a risk. They lost.
