My application for CSM5 was submitted shortly after the call for candidates. Although I don't intend to campaign actively until CCP announces the roster, I wanted to join other prospective candidates in letting folks know here that I hope to be in the running.
Why do I want to serve as a CSM delegate? ItÆs simple: Because I love this game and want to be an active contributor to its evolution. Free trips to Iceland are a great perk but even without them I would still seek a CSM seat.
During my 3+ years in EVE I have triedùin addition to the low sec piracy for which I am best knownùexploration, wormhole living, POS anchoring and maintenance, corp and alliance management, invention, manufacturing, mining (srs!), trade, missions, combat plexes, heists, scams, suicide ganking, high sec war decs and (more recently) mercenary work and sov-related null sec activities.
This diverse experience combined with a lively in-game social network that regularly discusses and debates game mechanics, tactics, and play styles has allowed me to be view EVE through a wide angle lens. As a result, I believe I am well-positioned to effectively represent a broad spectrum of players.
Of course there are issues I personally would like to see addressed in the gameùparticularly with regard to low sec. As a CSM delegate, I would hope to influence low sec changes that reflect its outlaw nature but that also create a more vibrant, compelling environment for everyone who lives and operates thereùoutlaw or not. I am also keen on advocating the streamlining of routine tasks (e.g. "automatic" repair of remotely contracted damaged items for the customary fees) and changes to improve cumbersome UI design. Continued examination of e-war, ship bonus, and ship role balancing are other interests of mine.
Regardless of my personal interests, it is ultimately you, my fellow players, who will decide which ideas gain traction and get my support. Submit and support proposals in Assembly Hall and discuss them in the forums and elsewhere. As a CSM, I will focus on being attentive to playersÆ suggestions and concerns and invest the time needed to understand your proposals so that I can champion proposals that would result in beneficial changes to the game.
Done right, the CSM job takes time and effort. I am committed to doing that job well. To aid me, I have not only my game experience but also real-life professional experience in training development, software design and development, project management, and technical communication. I understand business processes, communicate well, and am able to work effectively as a team player to achieve specific objectives. I favor finding creative workarounds to problems rather than whining about perceived obstacles.
Give me your vote and I will do my best to represent our shared interests so that we can be part of making EVE Online a better game for everyone.
Keep up with my CSM-related activities on my blog, Life in Low Sec. To chat, join Hellcats Pub channel in-game or convo/evemail me.
Random personal factoids about me:
- Twice as old as the average EVE player but have been a gamer since my late teens.
- Live on a farm (and rage constantly at the ****ty Internet connection).
- Non-EVE leisure time is spent trail-riding, dabbling in mixed-media or watercolor painting, or reading sci-fi.
- Work as a business analyst/tech writer on an IT infrastructure management contact with a large government agency. Mind-numbingly boring.
- I swear, a LOT. In brain, out mouth. *shrugs*

Random personal factoids about me:
That's all you need dear. Mammaries aside I think Mynxee is one of the better 'new' candidates on the block. Given the amount of poking and prodding she's given me about the process and procedures she certainly seems keen to give it a good shot.

I suspect the CSM5 candidates roster will have heretofore unseen levels of mammary representation, so that particular differentiator has probably lost any advantage it may previously have had. I likely couldn't even compete in size, either  Guess I'll have to fall back on the use of actual brainpower.
♥♥♥ for your supportive comments.

Best of luck with your run for the CSM Mynxee, if anyone is going to give low-sec the injection of life it needs to be someone who has lived and breathed it, which you have of course.
All the best!

While I dont engage in lowsec myself, I will be the first to admit it needs a good kick in the pants. Also your other credentials seem quite good (computer/software experience, commitment to the game and it's community, etc) . You have my vote so far.

Worth a vote for this reason if no other (though your in-game views are complementary to my own).
It would be excellent for someone with training and experience in the field to provide guidance when the inevitable, generic calls to "fix the @#$%^&! lag CCP" get called out. You have at least one vote here, hope you make it to Iceland ;)

Thanks for your declarations of support, everyone! I have refined and expanded my campaign message in the OP. Discussion and questions are most welcome.
Call for Focus Group Participation!
I would like to conduct a two-hour round-robin style focus group for each key platform issue (low sec, UI improvements, logistics and ECM, blobbing, and CCP communications) before CSM voting ends on 19 May. The point of these focus groups will be to identify key issues, brainstorm solutions, and identify the best ideas out of those discussed for potential submission as proposals in Assembly Hall.
If you would like to take part, please let me know here or via evemail. We'll aim for 6-10 participants (randomly selected from a pool of interested parties); discussion will take place on Hellcats ventrilo server and in an accompanying in-game chat.
After each focus group, I'll summarize results in a blog post and link each post in this thread so that further discussion can ensue.

...
What changes or issues will I champion? You, my fellow players, will ultimately determine--through posting and support of Assembly Hall proposals and discussion in other public venues--which ideas gain traction and get my support. That said, changes which I personally intend to pursue are:
- Low sec content for outlaws and changes that reflect low sec's outlaw nature and will create a more vibrant, compelling environment for all who live and operate thereùoutlaw or not.
...
- Live on a farm (and rage constantly at the ****ty Internet connection).

We are surprisingly alike - even living on farms and working in tech industries. I will vote for you.

Ed: formatting. I'll probably save one of my alts for voting for Sok because I like his vision of cap ships. Also, if you wanted to champion and push for http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1306359 my ideas on some problems with low sec.... :D

Mynxee,
I would love to participate in these discussions. I will check back here, but please advise me by email when you post a time/date so that I can schedule around my out of game activities.

Considering how your alliance leader completely failed to deliver on his promises as a CSM candidate (based on examples like his promise to fix neutral remote repping which did not even appear as a subject within the CSM meeting minutes), what do you plan to do to convince people that you will be able to deliver your pledges so that they receive serious discussion from the CSM and CCP?

Mynxee, you've got my vote(s). Although you are not a pirate any longer, you definitely have the experience to understand our most pressing concerns.
I think the round table idea is fantastic and hope that you make those discussions public once they have been completed.
Furthermore, you mention being committed to bringing outlaw specific content to lowsec. Anything in particular you have in mind? Is there anything that we can do to make lowsec unique to empire and 0.0?
Good luck. I'm sure we will all be proud of your representation. |

Khul,
I won't get into an off-topic debate here over neutral repairing, although it's my understanding that the game mechanic is fixed, Re; if a neutral repairs someone you're at war with the neutral is then flagged and you can aggress the neutral without Concord intervention, etc., etc. (If you'd like to continue the debate on the subject elsewhere with me and/or others I'd be happy to join a thread.)
I would, however, suggest if you have issues with it (or anything else) that you ask Mynxee to bring it up at one of the discussion groups she's proposed.
Your question as to how Mynxee plans to convince people that she will uphold her pledges as a representative to the CSM is a fair one, and I look forward to her answer. From my perspective, and I would never presume to speak for Mynxee, I will say this. Having flown with her in the past I personally believe that if Mynxee pledges to do something that she will uphold that pledge.
