I have known Z0D for close to 3 years, in this time he has advised me on skill training when i was quite new to Eve, helped me get started in industry, helped me on missions, helped me aquire a character on the Bazaar. He is always ready to help others.
My vote, without questions goes to Z0D

I support Take Care, because you all seem to understand that even though representing diverse player interest and play-styles is important, open minded objectivity resulting in unified front towards CCP, is what makes a good CSM delegate. Myself and my small corp have voted for TC delegates in previous elections and we intend to support you again...

The same question was asked when Erik ran for CSM, and now that Erik has been on the CSM for half a year and we haven't seen Ankh pulling ze strings, I think there is enough assurance there.

As a person, who is in the same corp as Z0D for almost a year, I can say that I never got a bad advice or hostile action from him. At the same time, good advices and direct help is plentiful.
He did it for me, he'll do it for us

Take Care has done a lot for Factional Warfare despite CCPs desinterest, thus has my vote again.

I have supported Take Care in previous election and still think they are on the right track (not saying I agree with everything they do or propose but they got the right train of thought imho).
So I will prolly be voting Take Care again this time too :)

erik read a text message from ankhaywert68732tr6gd out loud at the CSM3 summit in iceland lol
i liked erik finengan he was cool to hang out with IRL, but the guy was really clueless about a lot of game mechanics and i generally think the TAKE CARE party has been a counter-productive influence on the csm

Counterproductive to the Goon agenda, I'm sure, yes. Fortunately I don't give a damn about your agenda, I care only about improving EVE as a whole, not just the grief machine section of it.
As for the text message, Erik asked me rather specific Factional Warfare question IIRC, which he didn't know the answer to. He asked me, not the other way around. I bet you didn't know the answer either, so glad to have been of service.

I have at the moment the exstinquised pleasure to be the producer in my current corporation. I have the full confidence in zOD representing me in the CSM.
Erik Finnegan is my Corporation CEO and is currently doing an excellent job in the CSM, and so will zOD.

How do you prioritise your policies?
Quote:
In regards to corporations and orders, I'd like to see a new role introduced which allows corp members to modify corporation orders, so a corporation can really become a trade syndicate. There should also be a market system to trade shares.
I for one am interested in your ideas in trade, can you expand upon them? I want to know what issues are most important to you, and where trade ranks in them.

I would definitively while prioritising go from the top. Fix what is broken and critical, make some existing features more practical, fix the cosmetic side (User Interface) and add new features.
Quote:

For corporation specialising in trade, where 2 and more dedicated players can for example sell corporate goods, a new role could be added (Corporation order manager) which could be attached to corporate wallet divisions for security purposes.
Multiple traders could then especially when playing from different time-zones, run and manage corporate sales as a team, as opposed to the current system, where the person who initiated a current corporate sale, be the only one who can modify it.
At the moment also there is practically only the 0.01 isk undercut system to sell items on the open markets. A system promoting more personalised sales could allow a player to make public sales as himself or his corp. Adding in this case on a player / corp info page, new tabs for public contracts, sales and shares that directly relate to those initiating them.
This would promote more teamwork between players as opposed to current models where a trader has to work alone and manage his own sales even if he is doing corporate sell orders.
On the shares front, to be able to put them on the market as the current real life market functions. Create public share sell / buy orders, would put a lot of life into the corporate share systems.
Trading is definitively a core part of Eve at all levels. Players need to buy assets they use, sell items they create and the ones they find. They can use the income to buy / sell items or services that they need and progress in the game in any way they choose to.

I have not personally read the Manga books. To answer your question as to where the Z0D name came from. I am a fan of the TV Serie: Smallville and a couple seasons back i was preparing to create a new character and chose the name Z0D derived from a character i liked in the serie.
And hence Z0D was born into Eve.

I can honestly say that z0d has my full support !
If have been convinced by my work on the CSM during the last term, vote for z0d now. He is a perfect candidate to support our cause and negotiate with CCP.

I met Z0D in August 2008 at Zimse. I was thinking about to leave EVE, because the guys from our corps was seperated after some disasters at ZU (0.0 sec) and with our allicance BoS, and nobody knows, where to go. So, I was shortly before to have no interest to play any longer.
Before I met Z0D I was nothing and do not have a plan. He met me, catched me - brought me to Amarr Empire, and since them - I live here. He trained me well and gave me so much suggestions as no player done this before. He introduced to me the items, what are needed to grow up. He adviced me how to use EVEMon and other helpful things.
We flown several missions and trainings. Meanwhile, after nearby two years in EVE (I never believed that I will play a online game) it is a pleasure to know him. I'm absolutely sure, that he will take care as a CSM to all players of EVE. He has a huge knowledge and a analytical mind, to understand the processes of EVE and also he never forget, that behind all of this Avatar's are humans. He is a great diplomat during wars and takes care of our corp and the alliance.
So, to vote for Z0D as a CSM means, to have a great supporter and he will be a positive contribution as a doorkeeper between all players and CCP.
Vote for him, and you never will be dissapointed!

Compared to the marketing done for the previous TakeCare candidates, I found little info on Z0D tbh. Are there any documented public appearances?
Based on your answers in the CSM vote matcher, here are some questions for you:
- You disagree that suicide ganking should be viable. The question leaves some room for interpretation. I think it should be viable in the sense of being possible, but less profitable then it is currently. So if you decide to suicide that freighter it should be for strategic reasons (it was carrying precious cargo to my enemy). What do you think?
- You would like to see 0.0 infrastructure vulnerable to small gangs. If that is because you'd like to see small entities being able to get a foothold in 0.0, IMO that is fair. If its purely for causing disruption with no strategic value, how do you think this could be balanced?
- How the hell does eves core combat system lack complexity?
- POS logistics in W-space is already a nightmare. Why should they be exposed to more dangers?
- Now that moons were nerfed, there is little conflict driver for 0.0 alliances, also since holding space becomes mostly a burden. With the proposed changes 0.0 becomes carebear wonderland (though easily disruptable), replacing pvp as a means to get hold of valuable assets to do more pvp with a system where you have to pve to pay the bills to pve some more. Why do you think this is good?
Other than those points I like your proposals, though IMO they only cover a part of the subjects that require love from CCP.
And here is another question that every candidate should answer:
- Since you have a RL job and maybe other responsibilities, how can you get enough free time to do the position as CSM justice?

I as a member of the Gallente Milita, the Villore Accords MDP pseudo alliance and the QCATS corp, fully endorse your candidacy and have been informing others about your platform.
Due to previous positive interactions with Ankh and seeing that you guys have been doing something about the issues we present/inform you about has earned my vote. On a plus side, of all the candidates you seem to have one of the most sensible stances and I like your ideas.
You have shown to be non-biased and have no obvious conflict of interest on your positions unlike others (except the ticket to Iceland).
Eagerly awaiting the results.

I'll answer two of your questions, if you don't mind.

Unfortunately, all of us (Erik, Z0D, me and my brother) had a very busy time IRL and we were unable to produce a movie before the elections. Z0D has thus far not been able to schedule any interviews despite him trying. Seems like the interviewers are much more interested in the major 0.0 chestbeaters. Maybe something tomorrow though, not sure.
All three of us were present at fanfest during most of the roundtables.

- How the hell does eves core combat system lack complexity?
I think Z0Ds answer to this question was influenced a lot by my whining about it in private so let me state my reasons.
Alert: The following doesn't reflect Z0Ds personal opinion and my corp/alliance definately does not endorse this view. Just my own personal opinion as gamer and game designer here. If you're easily offended please don't read it either.
In my opinion, EVE's combat model is very straightforward. The problem isn't that it's not twitch-based, but the lack of options. Both to create a valid fitting and when actually flying in space. The combat itself only has a few options which is attempt to get to a certain range of your target, attempt to create or nullify transversal, fire your stuff, activate your tank (if you have it), and maybe use some ewar or energy denial. If you have a blo... uhh fleet then there is probably some maniac shouting over voicecoms who to zap first. Great.
Ship fittings are limited and straight forward. Ships have a certain role which determines how they should be fit. You pick a weapons type which is basically already determined by the race of the ship you fly and the corresponding ship bonus, choose one of four tank systems, and fit the modules that create the most optimal outcome in EFT. You can opt for some speedboosts, webs, scrams, maybe a nos or a neut if fitting allows it, and that's as varied as it gets. The pinnacles of creativity are things like the passive shield dominix or fitting an oversized shieldbooster on your baitship in the alliance tournament. *YAWN*
All of this means that EVE core combat is actually very similar to World of Warcraft's (Does this tell how boring I find EVE PVP good enough?) Ships are the classes and the classes have 2 or if lucky 3 optimal cookie cutter builds where you maybe vary a few talen... I meant module or two to show off your rebel creativity. If you're a rich guy, you can fit some Epic... I mean Faction and Officer modules which pwn lower tier stuff, unless you're a total clueless buttonbashing monkey and still manage to get your behind handed to you. Just like World of Warcraft, there is a rock-paper-scissors mechanic which makes class A variant 1 strong against class B variant 3 to which the counter is class C variant 2 and you just pray that you don't run into your class nemesis and specced your class I mean fitted your ship to emerge victorious from your encounter with the enemy. If all else fails, just throw that last shred which EVE calls "tactics" out of the window and either bring 10x as much people or wardec some noobs to claim your well-earned victory.
I'll stick to Guild Wars where I can mess around and be really creative so that something insanely good pops up every once in a while. Not that it is a very enjoyable game after I assembled my characters. Fortunately I'm a half decent programmer and I just make bots to play them and win against natural stupitidy in PVP, while I'm doing more important stuff.

While it's not so common these days tactics can play a large role in the outcome of battles.
IMHO much of your whine about lack of flexibility only applies if you look at a single player/ship. As soon as you put together a small gang the amount of permutations rise dramatically. The impact can be huge, which can be seen for instance when an outnumbered gang manages to prevail.

Let me state that I never botted EVE. I did hack EVE, but reported my findings to the devs immediately and they fixed the security gap.
Maybe something for next alliance tournament though.

As far as i know Z0D hangs around EVE all the time, even when he is at work ;)
He has already devoted much of his time helping people around him (as you may quess from post around here).
Also he's a kind of a world runner and spender - not just someone who only hangs around chats all day long "wishing things were so" - meaning he does not hesitate to push his RL assets to make his EVE expirience more worthwhile.
So from the narrow perspective of people i know he is definetly one up for this task.
Only negative i can think of is that he maybe be a bit too stubburn in his views, but given Z0Ds aims laid down here that is probably a good thing too
please vote ZOD
Vote more relaxing and more rewarding EVE expierience
And finaly the punch line 
While the story of Adam and Eve seems to have some rather disturbing gaps,
the story of Denis and EVE is ongoin everyday reality
