Admiral IceBlock Caldari Northern Intelligence PuPPet MasTers	Posted - 2009.04.01 16:19:00 - [1] Hello, For people that know me, "hi", for others, "hi, nice to meet you". I am running for CSM for the first time to ******* CCP. Ingame, I am a CEO of a five year old corporation. I force people to volunteer to my needs, everyday, seven days a week. I enjoy it very much. Outofgame, I am part-time employee of the Coca Cola company. I like sex. I enjoy it too very much. Here is my cut & paste of my agendas: 1. POS sovreignity. Basically, sovreignity today is -ass-boring and I like many others hate it. The solution to the problem are many, but they should be discussed and acted upon. The current ty system has been in this game far to long. It is time something is done as it has broken the game too much already. I posted my idea in 2006. Now we are in 2009 and NOTHING has happend exept for "SoonÖ". Do you want to stand up to this bull**? No I thought as much. Now you can do something about it, and vote me as CSM! http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=388151 - Why the hell does an offline POS still has its shield intact? - POS GRINDING SHOULD BE REMOVED! - If we can not find another alternative together, CCP should make POS @ PLANETS dependent on sovreignity and POS @ MOONS for industry. 2. Region unbalance and diversity. Have you ever been annoyed by Fountain only having partial NPC sovreignity while other factions has the entire region sovreigned? - Why do some regions have all NPC sov, while others do not. - Why do some regions suck so much? - Every region should be diverse and special. 3. Risk vs. reward. - PvP. - Low sec, high sec and 0.0. - lvl4 agents GTFO to low sec and under.

Hi 1: POS ****es me off no end, anything you could do to make it better simply makes the game better IMO. 2: I don't NPC much (read: EVER) and I'm not really interested in SOV stuff, but judging by what you said in (1) you get my vote here too. 3: Touches a nerve, there shouldn't be Lvl 4 agents in high sec, get them moved. And PvP Risk/Reward, all the modules should survive in <=0.4 space (MOAR LOOT) This candidate gets my vote for the next CSM term --

I have not found much specific except for "We are looking into it and will change it soon". However, most of EVE wants this changed ASAP, not next year.

What do you suggest is done then? For one, reward should be balanced to risk. Making insane amount of ISK in high security is really unacceptable. You want to make ISK safely? Than it should take you more effort than mission farming. Originally by: LaVista Vista The CSM is already working on looking into the loot gathered from missions.

I think that you are qualified given your history, however I think you might have missed a few things) I am straight-forward and allergic to bull****. Good qualities to have when you want something done, bad if you want to "please the masses". I can make a difference with just being myself, with no lies or facets. Simple, realistic and very straight-forward, either you like it or you don't.

What exactly did you mean mate, because to me it sounded like you're just saying, "oh some things (regions, ships, mechanics) are worse than others for diversity" And that sounds completely intentional, so from what you're saying I extrapolate that you mean some things are unbalanced for diversity. Which is completely bonkers in my opinion, and obviously also that of Iceblock. Linkage

Which is completely bonkers in my opinion, and obviously also that of Iceblock. The universe was generated using a simulator. So everything we see is, supposedly, how the creation of an universe would take place in the real world. Everything is generated by random too. Moon resources etc. is by random too. So because of the diversity of regions, you DO have un-equal regions. For instance, KIA settled into Geminate because it has crap moons, making it safer for them. That makes space more interesting. You have regions which are fought a lot for, because they are worth a lot, and some to a less degree. I think that's fine, because else space would be static and all the same. In regards to ships, I laughed a bit when you mentioned ships. During my time on the CSM, people have tried to tell me that the pilgrim is awful and should be buffed. It just so happens that I more or less fly a pilgrim only, as of the last 6 months. I think it's the MOST awesome ship out there. It's extremely subjective what is good and what is bad. Because of the diversity of bonuses and the options you have with it, you naturally have ships which are worse than others on a subjective level. You can't define what's good and what's not, because it comes down to playstyle. The exact same goes for the KIA example. They wanted a quiet region where people wouldn't try to take their space. That's THEIR playstyle, they just wanted space where they could settle in and have a bit of fun. For a large alliance who wants to become rich, that's not desirable. But that doesn't mean it's bad space. TL;DR: It's extremely subjective. You can't define what's good and what is bad.
Edge Two Gallente Under The Edge	Posted - 2009.04.02 18:15:00 - [13] I dont really like what you stand for so you won't be getting my vote. Your just a clone of most alliance jerks who think they own eve. I don't care for 0.0 space, its full of alliance jerks. If you have something positive to say about us carebears who like empire then maybe i will check out your campaign in more detail, until then my vote goes some other place. But good luck ****ing CCP off, that on the other hand, does get my vote.

Quote: This is like saying that the gankageddon was balanced, because it was so diverse compared to other battleships. Again, I beg to differ. By using that argument, you ignore the problem.

Change a few attributes and it is done. /whinage may commence after this. Originally by: LaVista Vista The universe was generated using a simulator. So everything we see is, supposedly, how the creation of an universe would take place in the real world ... You can't define what's good and what is bad. Diversity does not equal two, rich and poor regions. I want depth and meaning, more than just "this region is poor and people do not want it". If a region is poor, it should have other attractions besides "people does not want it". A car salesmen does not advertise a car with "this car is slow and people do not want to steal it". I would not be particularly interested. Even then I at least want an air conditioning and decent mpg. Else I would want the seller to show me something inbetween a lada and a mercedes slr. Surely there must be a good spacy car with good mpg if I sacrifice acceleration? -- Originally by: Edge Two I dont really like what you stand for so you won't be getting my vote.

However, I have much against total security and "safe havens".
Scatim Helicon GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.04.02 22:22:00 - [15] Originally by: Admiral IceBlock A car salesmen does not advertise a car with "this car is slow and people do not want to steal it". I would not be particularly interested. Even then I at least want an air conditioning and decent mpg. Else I would want the seller to show me something inbetween a lada and a mercedes slr. Surely there must be a good spacy car with good mpg if I sacrifice acceleration? At the risk of stating the obvious, a car salesman is trying to get money off you by selling you a car. CCP aren't trying to sell a region to you, that's not their job (an alliance might want to rent out or sell space, but then its desirability or lack of is that alliance's problem). Having both good regions that everyone wants and poor undesirable regions is a good thing, because it produces rivalries and competition. If every 0.0 region was of more or less equal value, there would be very little point in waging war with others to take their territory off them just to get more of the same, and 0.0 would quickly stagnate into lots of compact isolationist empires quietly. There already are a number of variables in the value of regions - some are good for ratting and mining, some for r64 moons, some with useful NPC hubs, some because of their proximity to Empire, or their strategic location, or because their low mooncount makes them easily defended... some for several of the above, and a couple are terrible for everything - and that's a far better situation than having all regions "balanced" into uniform blandness. That's not to say that new mechanics couldn't be added which introduced more variety (random example off the top of my head: planetary mining for Tech 4 materials) and that might have the side-effect of making some previously undesirable territory more valuable, but that should be a random side effect of introducing a new fun system, not a calculated effort to make all the regions 'fair'.

Fi Vantage Minmatar New Ligion	Posted - 2009.04.03 06:05:00 - [17] Just to be clear to somebody who knows nothing about Sov, which part of Sov allows this "POS Grinding" and what was the original intent for the mechanics that had this unwanted effect of pos grinding. Also, how would you remove this, what would be the effect of removing this, how are these effects good instead of bad and what mechanics should be introduced to offset any of the bad stuff?

Admiral IceBlock Caldari Northern Intelligence PuPPet MasTers	Posted - 2009.04.05 19:33:00 - [28] I would just like to say that this is just a "sneak-peak top three" that I will mostly focus on if you guys vote me as CSM. I picked the three to be more real and not to drown you with walls of text with all kinds of rubbish, where you have to read several pages to actually see what I stand for. So, to make a standpoint, I picked the ones that are the most important to me and (as I feel it) the EVE community. But mind you, I stand for (and against) much much more.

Scatim Helicon GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.04.08 07:44:00 - [30] Originally by: Shinnen I think that Iceblock means here that he wants unique-ness of each region (diversity) without some 0.0 regions seriously sucking. If every 0.0 region is worth (made up figure) 100bn a month, it doesn't really matter whether that value is from ratting or moon minerals or mining or whatever. It still removes an incentive to compete for a particular region. The current war in Delve and Querious is a good example - nobody in their right mind would simply abandon all the regions that Goonswarm previously occupied in the South east in order to occupy Delve, let alone drop Geminate and Scalding Pass as we did last year, if every region had the same value. The fact that Delve is one of the crown jewels of 0.0 and worth as much as 4 or 5 other regions combined is one of the major catalysts behind that conflict, and for that matter having that wealth concentrated into a small area is probably the key reason why BoB was a major power in the last 3 years or so.
