Greetings renegades, rogues, pirates, scammers, trolls and dullards. I am Larkonis Trassler and I want to run for CSM 4. I am a pirate by trade but in my time in Eve I have mined, missioned, fought in Hisec wars, killed pirates, died horribly in bubble camps, flown capitals, lost capitals and fought and FC'ed numerous :goodfights:
Wait... Aren't you that **** who resigned from the last CSM due to less than honourable actions?
Yes, yes I am. I made a tremendous error of judgement which was a result of a slightly hilarious chain of events. I let down those of you who voted for me and CCP. Regardless it's water under the bridge (which is where all you trolls should stay too).
Have you no shame?
Not really. I'm hoping to be re elected to the CSM in a Peter Mandelson-esque return to glory albeit without a Portuguese Manboy at my side and the penchant for buggery.
So what did you get done last time around?
I championed many issues and brought forward a few of my own. Among them:
Boosting Web Strength on Minmatar Recons and EAS Fixing Logoffski A few tweaks to GCC mechanics and sentries Pirate Faction Ship Improvements
TO NAME BUT A FEW
However, as a CSM virgin one felt slightly overwhelmed by it all and not really sure of our role. Yes there is plenty of documentation out there but just like the art of love my first time round was akin to a few hesitant gropes followed by a few half hearted thrusts and a trail of bodily fluids stretching from a hip to an inner thigh. There is much more to do and so much more to achieve.
The CSM is in it's infancy. People are expecting the world from this body of 'internet spaceships politicians', that's simply not going to happen for the moment. Delegates are not devs, they're players pure and simple, there in some part to bridge the gap between CCP and the playerbase.
So... what are you standing for this time around?
A greater passage of information between CCP and the CSM and the CSM and the playerbase. It's been pretty woeful this term with the 'monthly' Q&A's becoming more like 'annual' Q&A's. I took some time out from trolling the forums and put in some time reading them and contributing to assorted discussions, however I often didn't take the time to respond to Evemails and convos. This time around I'll make more time to do so.
As far as game changes go:
EWAR: ECM is still overpowered (more in terms of the mechanic, not the strength or range of the modules) and other EWAR needs shaking up badly. Damps were overnerfed and target painters are underused and undervalued.
Lowsec: Despite discussions conducted by CSM 3 Lowsec is and will continue to be the ginger stepchild of the universe for some time. I want to further push for changes to lowsec and how it operates.
Faction Warfare: FW needs a distinct shake up. Increased LP rewards are great but there's so much room for improvement. Occupancy still means nothing and there is no benefit to being victorious beyond personal gain. I'm all for introducing economic knock on effects for empires who perform well and those that perform badly.
Small gang PVP: At the moment there is nothing to incentivise this at all. With the majority of ISK on a vessel being tied up in the hull and rigs even maintaining say a 10:1 k/d ratio the average PVPer is going to struggle to make a profit. A rebalance to the system so that more ISK is tied up in the mods and less in the hull would benefit everyone. I'd also like to see revisions to loot drops whereby mods have a higher % chance to drop if there are less opponents on the KM.
Hisec Wardecs: Are easily avoided and under certain mechanics alliances are able to become all but immune to the effects of them. While wardecs should not become a griefing tool I would like to see changes to the system to make it harder to avoid a fight if someone comes and picks one with you. I'd also like to see a reversal of the 'Alliance P' 'nerf'

I'll reiterate that the CSM are not devs, they can merely suggest changes if they have popular backing. I'll also say that I'm willing to support anyone's issue if they approach me directly and I agree with it, even if it's not part of my 'platform'.
Hold on... you can suggest all this stuff on the Assembly Hall what can YOU offer the CSM?
Continuity; with (I believe) only two other previous members running again this term I believe I can share my knowledge of the system and how it works with the CSM newbies much like an experienced older partner.
Solid no nonsense approaches: I don't mince my words, if I don't like you I'll say so, if I think you're talking out of your backside then I'll bung a cork in it.
On a personal side I'd perhaps like the chance to redeem myself a little.
I hope to further develop what has already been a cracking and productive 18 months and be part of the process which helps evolve the CSM concept.

The Iceland summit was only six weeks ago broski. Just because you are not getting instant gratification doesn't mean you won't get it at some point. Think of the CSM as more of a tantric experience, do not judge it by your Western standards.
I'll reiterate for those of you that are unaware of how this works:
Issue raised in Assembly Hall. Issue Championed by a CSM delegate. Issue Debated in a CSM only online meating and voted on. If voted 'No' then QQ.
If yes: Issue goes to Iceland Summit or a CSM/CCP online meeting. CCP say either: 1. That's cool, we were working on it, lets see if we can prioritise it a bit more. (See it in 3-12 months) 2. That's cool, we never thought of that, we'll add it to the backlog (See it in 6-18 months). 3. That's not really what we have in mind for the game. 4. Not technically possible right now but we like the idea and maybe look into it a little. 5. Not technically possible at all. 6. GRAND SLAM: Your idea isn't at all technically feasable and it's completely awful, who elected you and what are you doing here? Go and mix up a ****tail of whiskey and sleeping pills for yourself.
Obviously there's room for a little debate with reference to points 3 and 4 and we were able to sway them on more than one or two issues in Iceland.

People who make SUCH a mistake knowing they're putting their candidacy on the line for something silly are not worth to be voted for. All the "but it's the piraty thing to do" bullcrap is just that, bullcrap.
The CSM is already a joke but if at all possible I'd to have some people there who think about what they're doing.

1. Post with your main. 2. Anybody who votes for you is an idiot.
You took advantage of multiple systems during your CSM. I don't think you can be trusted to do anything honorable, even though I generally agree with some of your viewpoints, I don't think you can deliver anything else except total fail, I wouldn't be surprised if CCP actually denied you to even be a part of the CSM.

Plan on breaking more NDAs made my CCP? Which I might add, is REAL LIFE contracts?
Sheesh. You lost my respect for your actions. Trust in-game is one thing, but you broke CCP's trust on you out-of-game which is a far worse offense than any piracy or scam you've ever done. Those who vote for you...well...wow. Just WOW people.
tbh, hope they reject you out of hand when your application gets put up.

You know who my main is. Unfortunately my main is enjoying a 6 month forum vacation due to over zealous e stalkers who reported my every post in mock offense.
I would like to know the multiple systems I took advantage of. I seem to recall only acting on one piece of information and being caught soon after. If anything you could say (especially in these days of politician's and expense scandals) I was the most cost effective member of CSM 3 as I got all my main issues discussed in person at the Iceland summit but CCP didn't have to spend money on a flight to fanfest or accomodation for me. Savings that they can pass on to YOU the player.

The second system I'm referring to is where you entered into the tournament, solely to resell the slot and not fight in it yourself. It was a cheesy thing to do and isnĘt the kind of behavior IĘd want in a CSM candidate. And I donĘt see how they are passing savings on to me, because last I checked my monthly subscription fee was the same amount of money itĘs always been.
