Issler Dainze - CSM Candiadate - "Let me be your voice when you scream in space!"
I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has contacted me to let me know they support my views and have voted for me. When I decided to run I expected very little support since I'm not part of one of the bigger alliances or particularly well known. I also worried my focus on the non-PvP parts of Eve would reduce my support. This is one time I am happy to be wrong! So thank you all again!
I also felt it was time for me to talk about another aspect of Eve. So how about a ramble for the new pilots in Eve. This won't be about game mechanics so much as some suggestions to new pilots.
Life in the 'verse is hard. I've seen many a pilot arrive, become quickly discouraged and leave for who knows where (I suspect some lame virtual forest with elves and orks... makes me shudder to think about it!!). So if you are a new arrival to Eve a couple of words of advice and encouragement.
1. Finish the tutorials and initial missions. That simple first step will help you more than you could ever know.
2. Ask questions. There is a whole 'verse full of folk ready to point you in the right direction. Local, the initial corporation channel, the other new pilots channels and the forums all can make something intitally impossible to figure crystal clear.
3. That crazy internet thing is your friend. There are large numbers of resources out there to help you succeed.
4. Do not become discouraged! Maybe this should be thing number one. Everyone in Eve has setbacks. It is part of the experience. It may hurt, you may ask yourself why waste your time but I assure you that you can recover. As a note, please keep that clone current!
5. Consider a pilot run corporation. There are large numbers of corporations that can help you get a leg up. There are many ways to find one. The forums, the recruiting channel in game (that can be a challenge) or just keeping an eye out. Look at the corporations that have recruiting ads in the area you operate. Or keep an eye out in local, chances are you are going to see some corporations regularly operating where you are living. Chat up someone that you see in the area regularly. When you contact a corp be sure to ask what their focus is, when they are active and what their expectations are from their members. If they seem like a match, give them a try. If not, there are plenty of others out there. Finally, if you join and they aren't a good fit move on, there are others out there and I am sure there is a better fit to be found.
6. Let yourself try different things. Eve is unique in that you really aren't locked into a career path. You owe it to yourself to try a broad range of things to make sure there isn't something you are missing. If at some time you find things feel stale, shake it up, change your focus for a while.
7. It's a big 'verse, why not see some more of it! Open that map up and just look at all those systems! Get out once in a while, check out the Eve gate or some of the other amazing locations.
8. Remember it is supposed to be fun! Eve can get serious and intense. Don't let yourself become so focused that you lose track of the fact you are supposed to be enjoying yourself! Take a deep breath once in a while and make sure you are doing something you like doing.
9. Take a chance once in a while! Eve is all about risk and reward! Don't be afraid to take a chance once in a while! You might be surprised!
Hope that can help some of you "fresh outs" start you long careers in the 'verse! If you ever see me out and about be sure to say "hi"!

The voting is now drawing to a close. I want to thank everyone that chose to be involved in the process. Thanks to the other candidates for stepping up, thanks to the Eve media that facilitated the debates and thanks to everyone that voted.
I hope that whoever makes up the new CSM takes the responsibility seriously (I know I will if choosen) and the pilots of Eve stay involved. Keep letting the CSM know what you think and remember to hold them accountable!
Remember, "Stuffs getting better! Stuffs getting better every day!"
