Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.20 15:16:00 - [1] 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* My Blog: Life In Low Sec

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.20 17:09:00 - [3] 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. My Blog: Life In Low Sec

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. My Blog: Life In Low Sec

Khul Drukath Maelstrom Crew Paradigm Alliance	Posted - 2010.04.25 00:28:00 - [23] 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?

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. Claire XXX

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.25 18:31:00 - [34] Originally by: Khul Drukath Considering how your alliance leader completely failed to deliver on his promises as a CSM candidate...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? My ability to make good on my promises is unrelated to results achieved (or not) by CSM predecessors--whether they are in my corp/alliance or not. As far as convincing folks that I will follow through on my pledges, I can only hope that ongoing discourse; proactive efforts to engage members of the community who share an interest in the issues I am championing; and endorsements from respected players who know me is sufficient to accomplish that. I wouldn't presume to promise to fix anything--no CSM has the power to make good on such promises. I DO promise to make the best case I can that well-supported proposals related to my campaign platform be on the roster of issues for presentation to CCP in Iceland. Whether or not I succeed, you can bet I'll be actively engaged in discussions about those proposals in these forums, on my blog, and elsewhere. Thus, my CSM activities and "promise fulfillment" will be easy to observe and assess by both supporters and non-supporters alike. Originally by: Grohalmatar Furthermore, you mention being committed to bringing outlaw specific content to lowsec. Anything in particular you have in mind? I'd like to see low sec content added that "rings true" for outlaws and the seedy nature of low sec. For example--what if there were NPCs who specialized in "arranging" hits on outlaw (-5 and below) characters? Maybe the "territory" for each such NPC is a constellation, and they move from system to system in their territory somewhat randomly. To interact with them, you have to probe their (invulnerable) ship at the safe spot where they are chilling. When you find them, you can "arrange" (pay ISK) a hit on an outlaw or ask for some work (a "contract" to hit someone on his hit list). Targets are selected randomly from this NPC's list, trending toward lower value targets. To improve the odds of getting a higher value contract, you could "call in favors" (via spending favor points earned from successful completion of prior contracts with this NPC). Upon reporting completion of a contract (maybe requiring the provision of victim's corpse?), you get some percentage (50% perhaps) of the contract price plus some number of favor points with that NPC. This is a very rough idea that's been simmering in my mind, but it covers some interesting territory: could augment/replace the current broken bounty system, encourages more PvP between players, incorporates a small ISK sink, puts outlaws on center stage, and possibly might be implemented using some modified version of already existing mechanics for interactable agents and missions. I'm sure the idea as stated is full of flaws, potential for exploits, and issues that need analysis and refinement. Unlike proposals for discrete changes to a mechanic or a ship bonus, ideas for changing low sec tend to be more holistic and sweeping. As such, they require a lot of discussion in these forums and elsewhere to distill them into actionable proposals. That's one of my objectives: to drive low sec discussions in a productive manner so that such proposals can be made. While CCP's apparent lack of interest in low sec is a bit discouraging, I'm optimistic that some really good, well-thought-out ideas might have a chance of arousing their interest. Originally by: Erichk Knaar Would like to participate in the roundtable. Added ya to the list--same for everyone else who requested it. Once there is sufficient interest in participation, a schedule will be posted in the OP and on my blog. Life In Low Sec
Hirana Yoshida Behavioral Affront	Posted - 2010.04.25 19:02:00 - [35] Originally by: Mynxee Free trips to Iceland are a great perk but even without them I would still seek a CSM seat. Lets see how you feel about that perk when planes are grounded and you have to spend 2-3 days on the North Sea Mind expanding on your vision for low-sec or is there a thread already active with it?
Khul Drukath Maelstrom Crew Paradigm Alliance	Posted - 2010.04.25 19:08:00 - [36] Hi Mynxee, thanks for replying. I'm not asking you to promise that an issue will be fixed; as I stated in my previous post I want to know what you plan to do to ensure that the issue will receive serious discussion. ThatÆs all anyone can really hope for where CCP are concerned; that the issue makes the meeting and receives serious discussion. Now your ability to raise an issue is wholly related to the success / failures of previous CSM candidates. A lot of candidates are making a lot of pledges that they will try and ensure that their issues are raised. This creates a lot of issues - more than can be dealt with by the CSM and CCP. This means that a lot of these issues are discarded. The remote rep issue that I mention was on Aleks' pledge, and it was not raised as an issue in any CSM document that I have seen (and that you are re-raising the issue is an indicator that the problem has not been addressed). Now I don't doubt that Aleks tried to raise the issue because it's a problem that affects a lot of people who deal with highsec wars. However he failed to raise it as an issue, as far as I am aware. Now that means that this issue has been vocalised before and has not received attention. This means that it did not receive enough support from the rest of the CSM or CCP, so to a lot of peopleÆs minds it canÆt be a big deal. This means that whoever wants to push this issue forward to the attention of the CSM and CCP so that it actually receives serious discussion is going to have to do more than just say they want it fixed û you have to assume Aleks already tried that route and got nowhere. So my question is what are you going to do better than him to get the issue raised?
Mashie Saldana Red Federation	Posted - 2010.04.25 19:55:00 - [37] Originally by: Khul Drukath So my question is what are you going to do better than him to get the issue raised? Well if you start by writing an awesome proposal in the Assembly Hall it will be easier for the CSM to push it through.
Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.25 22:17:00 - [38] @Khul: I believe Alek's agenda of neutral remote reppers getting aggression was discussed with CCP at the Feb 2010 Summit. Unrelated, CCP suggested an idea to show the overview in-station (pages 11 and 14 of the minutes from that Summit). The CSM agreed so long as any ships outside station that were warp-scrambled were prevented from docking. Neutral remote reppers outside stations would be subject to this just like anyone else but it's not a complete solution since it doesn't address engagements elsewhere. My preference is that neutral remote reppers get the standard 1 minute aggro timer. This solution was proposed by The PitBoss and passed unanimously by CSM3 to bring before CCP. The "turns flashy" situation we have now is CCP's compromise as I understand it. So how am I going to keep this issue on the radar? Through the normal procedures: discussion and creative, actionable proposals. There are constraints on the CSM wrt bringing up issues that have already been brought before and addressed by CCP. However, it's my desire to keep pushing for attention to the neutral remote repping issue until they tell me to STFU since the imbalance it represents hasn't yet been effectively addressed. I hope this answers your question--the amount of research it took to be able to write these two short paragraphs was considerable LOL! Thank goodness for EVElopedia and everyone (especially TeaDaze) who has updated the CSM info there. Life In Low Sec

As long as it's not IN the North Sea, I'm okay with that My primary desire for low sec is to see new content added that is in keeping with its outlaw nature--such as the "contract hits agent" described elsewhere in this thread. I have no desire to make low sec safer, because to be honest, it's not that dangerous right now (with the exception of a small handful of systems where lazy gate-camping smartbombers are frequent). If you pay attention and take the most basic of precautions, you can travel low sec just fine--especially if you're not an outlaw yourself. Making low sec more profitable is a noble goal, but that won't contribute to giving it a distinct identity. Content is king in that regard. If unique, outlaw-centric content provides a play (and profit) opportunity that high and null sec don't offer, there is a very good chance that people of a certain mindset (outlaws, adventurers) will seek it out. Designing it so that it involves PvP rather than dumb red crosses would keep it fresh because nothing is more consistently interesting or unpredictable in New Eden than the dynamics between players. Building in the opportunity to profit from other players would be perfectly in tune with the nature of low sec and thus in my opinion vital to any such content's success. I'm also looking forward to seeing what impact Tyrannis has on low sec and on the opportunities to profit from both planetary interaction itself and from those who show up to claim their rewards from low sec planetary infrastructure.

Do you have any thoughts about the currant black hole that is the local exploit ? Seems CCP need a kicking from someone before they sort it out, figure it may as well be from you ♥ I'm afraid I gave up on that thread when it got to about 10 pages. Much of the discussion is well outside my technical expertise and thus my eyes glazed over. Obviously exploits like this one should be stomped into the ground with a hobnailed boot and the offenders suitably punished. It bears watching and CCP needs to be held accountable for some kind of answer/response/fix, so it's good the player base is keeping that thread active with questions and discussion (although discussing exploits in the forums is a slippery slope that must be approached with great care). I'm sure CCP is taking a hard look at the matter, but wouldn't expect them to discuss their investigation until a solution is identified and implemented and guilt established. Life In Low Sec
Thansoli Caldari THE DISC AAA Citizens	Posted - 2010.04.26 19:22:00 - [48] Mynxee, There's already been a good deal of questions and discussions here about RR and low-sec love, which honestly wouldn't affect me directly right now. I am, however, curious about what specific ideas you might have with regards to UI love. What are some of the specific areas of the UI you would like to see updated, and what are some of the thing you think currently work well?
Khul Drukath Maelstrom Crew Paradigm Alliance	Posted - 2010.04.26 20:26:00 - [49] Hi Mynxee, yes that answers my question perfectly - thank you for the time it took you to research and answer my question.

Here are some ideas, based on things that bug me--mainly related to inconsistent placement and/or labeling, cumbersome workflow, or avoiding unintended consequences (e.g., trashing a ship you meant to assemble): Put Show Info in a consistent location on every context menu...top or bottom, pick one! Remove the Trash It option and make it a button on the Station Services panel and in the Assets window instead. Similar for Reprocess. In Options-->Reset Settings, there are two "Are You Sure?" items listed in my window. Error or are they related to different situations? And if so, WHICH? No clue. In Corp Wallet, Wallet Divisions, change context menu items labeled "Transfer..." to "Move..." (money between wallet divisions) so as to avoid confusion with the functionality of the Transfer Money button (to give ISK to a character) at the top of the window. Make the corp name at the top of the Station Services panel a lot smaller or let me collapse it (like you can with a character sheet) so it gives me more room for my merged Items/Ships and other windows. Can I have a Transfer Money button on my personal wallet? That pops up a search dialog for Corp/Character? In case I'm feeling generous but lazy? How come I can't export my personal wallet journal in-game? Why do I have to go to the EVE O web site for that? Even if I'm limited to once per day or whatever it is, that's fine. Show me a countdown in the wallet window, just like for jump clones. Let me define the top-to-bottom order of the buttons in my Neocon. Allow the option of chat tabs on the left side rather than the top; this would make it easier to read the labels when many chat windows are stacked in a tall narrow shape (that I tend to use). When I'm trying to remotely contract a damaged item, give me the option of having it repaired for the customary fees as part of that process. I'm pretty sure this has been proposed either by itself or as part of a more detailed "fix Contracts UI" proposal but as its the one thing about the contract creation workflow that makes me rage, I want to push for this specific change. Change the font so that letters and numbers that look the same can be more easily visually differentiated. "O"/"0", "S"/"5", "B"/"8" and "1"/"l" most notably. Granted these range from tweaks to enhancements to outright fantasies, and this is just a small sample. Obviously bigger projects like an easier-to-use Corp window are way more important. Some of this stuff is in the backlog. Some of it is just on our wish-lists. I'd like to know what, and where, and maybe when :) Life In Low Sec

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.26 21:06:00 - [51] Oh, forgot to answer about what I think works well. I love the Overview Buttons. Could NOT live without them. Love that I can move my HUD and target rack around. Love that I can group things on the Neocon into Services and Services. Kinda wish there was a "Financial" that Wallet, Contracts, Market, and Assets could go into. Granted I'm just new to caring about it, but the Sovereignty window is nicely designed. I've never had any real issues with the POS Management window either (which is visually somewhat similar to the Sov window). Understanding the implications of some of the POS settings is another matter. I have few to no issues with the Map window; it's fun to play with. The scan probe UI is very enjoyable to use, although there are improvements that could make it even better that have been proposed. There is plenty about the UI that works just fine and there have been some welcome changes in the last couple of expansions. However, from the perspective of consistency and intuitive labeling/organization, more attention would be especially helpful for newer players. After a long time playing this game, players operate at a level of unconscious competence. That tends to make weaknesses in the UI become less noticeable and harder to spot unless they are constantly annoying. Life In Low Sec
AdmiralJohn The Unknown Bar and Pub Elysium Alliance	Posted - 2010.04.26 21:49:00 - [52] Mynxee, I've found you to be one of the most agreeable pilots in Eve, and I'm glad you're running. Your goals are (in my opinion) the ones that are most pressing. I'll be proud to give you my vote. Best of luck on the campaign.
Cpt Branko Retired Pirate Club	Posted - 2010.04.27 00:41:00 - [53] Originally by: Mynxee @Khul: I believe Alek's agenda of neutral remote reppers getting aggression was discussed with CCP at the Feb 2010 Summit. Unrelated, CCP suggested an idea to show the overview in-station (pages 11 and 14 of the minutes from that Summit). The CSM agreed so long as any ships outside station that were warp-scrambled were prevented from docking. What is your stand on being unable to dock when pointed? Sig removed, inappropriate link.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.27 01:13:00 - [54] Originally by: Cpt Branko What is your stand on being unable to dock when pointed? Personally I think it kinda jumps the shark. Warp scramblers and disruptors prevent a ship from initiating warp--what logical "in character" reason could you apply that would give them the ability to prevent docking? None. I would MUCH rather there be a new module put in play that would serve the purpose or a ship with that special capability...some sort of super-specialized station tackler that can do little else. As to the bigger question of whether there should be a way to prevent ships outside the station from docking, it appeals as a way to help prevent docking games which are extremely annoying. But I think the implementation of the idea should involve trade-offs of some kind--such as having to decide whether it's worth devoting a pilot or a slot to a highly specialized task as described above. In general, I tend to favor solutions that require pilots to make hard choices about trade-offs and compromises. Life In Low Sec

To increase performance, I play with graphics settings at minimum, effects generally mostly turned off (unless I'm taking screen shots), and am usually zoomed way out with the tactical overlay on to aid in situational awareness during fleet ops. So...a lot of the more luscious graphics are lost on me most of the time. Considering what's looming in the backlog, "beautification" of effects--while nice--should probably have fairly low priority. That said, I miss the awesome old cyno field effect. The new one is totally lame and weak. I'd love to see more "what's on our minds today" dev blogs. Evelopedia (the wiki) depends primarily on players to augment the content. The ISD YARR team takes the lead on that, but any player can add entries and update existing ones. Highly encouraged as a way to contribute to the community (and you could always apply to become a volunteer)! Originally by: Rubenson Have you considered changes to the FW system? No, FW is not an area of interest for me. I tried it briefly when it was first introduced, but it's just not my thing.

Jedziah Core Impulse	Posted - 2010.04.28 11:39:00 - [67] Posting embarassingly late to Mynxee's CSM thread! You get my vote all the way my dear. We've shared the gripes and loves of low sec over the past few years and you are the lady to mesmorise CCP into doing anything you want with those seductive tones! I'm liking the key points to address also. I heard on the grapevine before CCP devs talking about formations and so on. I guess that would play nicely into your view of the anti blob, requiring certain ship types to create the formation, gaining bonuses solely based around your local formation group. (Would be nice to see a command ship used as it should be rather than a bonus giving, last to primary, first to neut brick) You know talking about having another look at ECM tickles my nether regions. I like what they did last time around, it's still the be all and end all however of Ewar. (Thankyou Grail implants oh my goodness) UI is the other key one for me. I think we are a little in the dark regarding where this huge project has got to. The changes we have seen so far have been excellent in my opinion. I would like to see what's on the horizon however as keeping the UI stuff bottled up seems to be be very much in contrast to CCP's agile methodologies. Best of luck Mynxee and 100% getting my vote, most likely all of the old crew also! I demand to be stowed in your luggage enroute to Iceland <3 Jed

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.04.28 23:25:00 - [76] Edited by: Mynxee on 28/04/2010 23:26:48 Originally by: Seleene I'd like to know what issues, if any, you plan to raise with regard to this profession and how you intend to approach CCP about it. What is your take on the mercenary profession in EVE? How do you see it functioning today / a year from now? Being new to it, I'm still wrapping my head around the merc profession. I need a little more insight and experience to be able to identify problem areas and opportunities to improve the profession. However, those of you who do know the business casts beady eye at you, Alekseyev Karrde, and others while pointing at Assembly Hall are sure to get my attention with YOUR proposals and ideas, so please do share them. I do think that in a more general way, the PvP balancing changes I hope to influence (see OP) will improve PvP for everyone--including (and maybe especially) mercs. It's clear there is a demand for mercs and opportunities for them to significantly affect the course of conflicts on every scale. But I lack perspective as yet on how the profession might evolve in the game. I reserve the right to discuss that in a more informed way later when I'm more knowledgeable about the intricacies of merc roles in the game. Originally by: Yankunytjatjara As an old pirate, are you going to support small gang warfare in general, and in particular, the proposal of ship velocity vectors that is so good it doesn't generate discussion and thus has poor visibility? The PvP balancing changes I mentioned in the OP and discussed elsewhere in this thread apply specifically to small gang PvP. That's a very good proposal on velocity vectors. I'm surprised it didn't get more traction. Holiday effect, perhaps? The thread is locked now due to age; if it wasn't, I would add my support for what would be a very nice feature. You should resubmit it as a new proposal (but you might want to wait to do that until CSM5 is in office, so it doesn't fall through the cracks of transition between CSM4 and CSM5). Name it something more immediately comprehensible to get interest, maybe [Proposal] Add optional velocity vectors to tactical overview. I suspect many proposals fail to get support due to imprecise, vague, or non-descriptive titles. Few will bother reading something unless they can instantly assess its sheer brilliance or relevance. Titles like "Fix lag" won't do that. "Reduce lag by doing <insert fix here>" is much better. Teadaze's sticky at the top of this forum has some good tips for writing a proposal that will get noticed ad hopefully supported. Life In Low Sec

Focus Group Topics & Schedule Topic: What Will Breathe Life Into Low Sec? Date: Saturday 8 May 2010, 16:00-18:00 EVE Time Topic: Does ECM Need More Balancing? Date: Saturday 8 May 2010, 19:00-21:00 EVE Time Topic: Can (and Should) Blob Tactics Be Discouraged? Date: Sunday 9 May 2010, 10:00-12:00 EVE Time Topic: Streamlining In-Game Tasks Date: Friday 14 May 2010, 20:00-22:00 EVE Time (If for some reason I can't work at home that Friday as usual, I'll reschedule this session) Location In-Game Channel "Mynxee's Focus Groups" HellFleet Ventrilo (info provided in advance to participants via evemail) How to Participate -- 6-10 participants per session -- Players from all play styles who have clear opinions and are willing to express their ideas and opinions in detail are encouraged to participate! -- X up in this thread for sessions you want to and can attend (or evemail me if you prefer). -- Participants will be randomly selected from the pool of interested parties and notified in advance -- An open invitation is extended to other CSM5 candidates to participate if slots aren't filled (Special invites: Dierdre Vaal to ECM session; TeaDaze to Blobs session) -- If I don't get sufficient "pre-interest", I'll ask folks to participate ad hoc from the various channels I frequent. Note: Some have submitted their names already but now that there is a schedule, I want to hear from people (again or newly) who know they can attend a specific session. Lots of interested parties + no one available at the scheduled time = me talking to myself on Vent. Entertaining but not particularly enlightening Session Process -- Participants are requested to show up 10 or 15 minutes early for prep stuff. -- Sessions will start ON TIME! If you're late, so be it but we may not have much if any time to review prior discussion to catch you up. So, ya know, be on time! -- Discussion will be conducted round robin style, with speakers selected in a different sequence each round. Each person will have three minutes to respond in each round. -- Participants are expected to stay on topic and conduct themselves in a mature, respectful fashion--regardless of how different our opinions may be or how passionate we each feel about a given topic. If you fail to do that, well...I have a very itchy Kick finger :) -- Agenda: Introductions, State the Problem, Identify Causes, Brainstorm Solutions, Suggest/Discuss Proposal Ideas, Wrap Up -- Vent will be recorded for my ease of posting accurately about the focus group's discussion. Recordings will not be shared in any public place or with anyone outside the focus group. -- The session structure is intended to help keep things on track and moving forward as well as give each participant a fair chance to have a say. There will be lots of flexibility within that structure. -- Within a few days after each focus group, I'll write up a report on my blog and link to it from this thread. Desired Outcomes -- Proposals posted in Assembly Hall -- Further discourse Ok, please feel free to ask questions or discuss these FGs...will post more details / info as it occurs to me. It's late and I better stop typing before something totally Freudian comes out of my fingers into this post without my brain realizing it. And remember... Life In Low Sec

We'll discuss issues, challenges, where the profession is heading, and what tools or game changes might be made to support that profession.

Since I'm in the merc environment and there was interest from my colleagues, I decided it would be fun to discuss as a group. Life In Low Sec

Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.07 15:14:00 - [109] Originally by: Britanni I'll admit that I like the idea of quicker communication from CCP in terms to widespread player reactions. How do you see the CSM becoming more involved in this? By urging--if they don't already have one--a CCP policy for responding quickly and with useful information to soothe nerves and put out fires in escalating rage threads about exploits or other similarly serious issues. By encouraging CCP to work with the CSM to aid in responding to the community and managing players' expectations. Although they've gotten better about it lately, CCP is still often slower to respond to volatile broke-game, exploit, cheating and other "big issue" threads than reasonable players would prefer.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.07 17:20:00 - [114] @Kelli: I've added a link for the TTH post to the OP, as well as links to the Outlaw Expansion proposal and Lana Torrin's Bounty System thread. @Flashfresh: It will be recorded, but as stated I don't plan to release the recordings publicly. This is mainly to avoid putting off folks who might not be comfortable with that. However, if all the participants in a given session don't mind me releasing their recording, I will. At a minimum, I will be reporting on the discussion in a blog post and linking to that from here, or vice versa. Continued thanks for everyone's support! Do want more participants for the focus groups, please! It's a great chance to explore one issue with a small group in a hopefully productive way. Life In Low Sec
Dierdra Vaal Caldari Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2010.05.07 21:13:00 - [115] hi mynxee - I'd like to confirm my attendance at the ECM focus group. If possible I would also like to attend the low sec focus group - but if you have more experienced low seccers I wouldnt mind listening in at least :) Director of Education :: EVE University CSM1 delegate and CSM3 chairman
Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.09 12:42:00 - [116] Just a reminder that my Blob Issues focus group is scheduled for 15:00 EVE time today. Yesterday, focus groups on Low Sec and ECM Balance were conducted. Both sessions were excellent, with in-depth discussion about real and perceived problems, potential solutions, and in the case of the Low Sec discussion, an exciting proposal idea. The proposal idea fits exactly with my vision for how low sec should be addressed. Suffice to say that it involves boosters. Within a couple of days, I will have the discussions summarized and make the raw audio available (because participants said they do not object to that). The draft of our proposal is in the works; as soon as the focus group participants have had a chance to vet it, one of us will publish it on Assembly Hall. Watch this thread -- I'll post when stuff is published. Also would like to thank the following folks (among others) for endorsing me for CSM on their blogs: Nashh Kadavr, Larz Smith, Myhrial Arkenath, Ahnog, Yriellevandis, Aiden Mourn, Cirocke, and Flashfresh.

Gareth d'Orkney	Posted - 2010.05.11 00:46:00 - [119] Hi Mynxee, This guy hydrostatic Capsule has some interesting ideas about both the UI, and perhaps more importantly, the way in which pilots should be given warnings when a certain number of jumps happen through a certain gate at a time. I think (as does he) that this would make larger blobs less effective due to the warning that pilots would have before they were attacked. The blog explains it far better than I could, but I was wondering what you think of the idea.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.12 01:32:00 - [121] Real life has prevented me from listening to the 3 focus groups conducted so far to write up a summary of the ideas and issues discussed in each. I don't want to delay sharing the discussions any longer, so I've posted the raw audio logs (in Ventrilo format) to eve-files (thanks, Chribba!). If someone has the time to convert them to MP3 and upload those and post links here, it would be much appreciated. Either way, you can listen to the discussion and then hopefully come back here and add your own thoughts or ask questions. To open these files after downloading, start Ventrilo, right click a channel, choose View --> Record/Playback. A dialog will open where you can select Open and navigate to the file you wish to listen to. Here are the links: Breathing Life Into Low Sec: What's wrong with it now? How can it be fixed? What's the best approach? And more--including a discussion about "criminal production" components that could be added to the game over several expansions, all tying into a holistic whole. Raw audio here. ECM Balance--Needs More or Not? Does ECM deserve its rep for being overpowered? Has it been too nerfed? Are other counters better than what we have? Should other Ewar be examined in balance with ECM? And more! Raw audio here. Blobs: Can/Should They be Discouraged? What is a blob? Are blobs a problem? Are they avoidable? Are they undesirable? Do we need new tools for remote detection of blogs? And more! Raw audio here. Originally by: Gareth d'Orkney This guy hydrostatic Capsule has some interesting ideas about both the UI, and perhaps more importantly, the way in which pilots should be given warnings when a certain number of jumps happen through a certain gate at a time. I think (as does he) that this would make larger blobs less effective due to the warning that pilots would have before they were attacked. The blog explains it far better than I could, but I was wondering what you think of the idea. Cailais presents an interesting idea based on a common sense expectation. We discussed something similar in the Blob Issues focus group. There was definitely interest in having the capability to, for example, show movement of large fleets on some kind of "tracking" view in the map. The strategic impact of such a capability would be interesting. Originally by: Hakanta if you support a revamping of the drugs system then il give you 3 votes Funny you mention this--we brainstormed in the Low Sec focus group about turning low sec into a haven and sole source for production of criminal items like boosters and other exiting and new "illegal" or pirate items. One of the most exciting things about such an idea is that there is something for all play styles to participate in somewhere in the supply chain--from production through consumption. Tell me YOUR ideas, Hakanta, for revamping the drug system. I'd love to discuss them with you and yes, if an idea was proposed that made sense, I would likely support it. Life In Low Sec
Bisba Resonance. RED.OverLord	Posted - 2010.05.12 04:51:00 - [122] Mynxee certainly seems to know about all the issues in eve. Though I do not agree on a stacking penalty for fleets (it is after all the so called eve end-game), she seems to know all the mechanics well and have first hand experience in it. I have full confidence she will be an excellent spokes person for the player community and will do her best to make sure this doesn't become a hello kitty online in space (unlike ankeleeolfkoeonwneiweniew, whatever her name is). All my votes for her.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.12 10:50:00 - [124] @Niraia: ♥♥♥ for the MP3 conversions. @Bisba: Thank you for your support. Just to clarify, I'm not pushing for fleet stacking penalties per se (despite the slightly inaccurately worded campaign info that Massively attributed to me). I just think they're worth exploring in considering whether or not blob warfare can or should be discouraged. Most of the complaints I hear about blobs seem related less to the epic null sec fights that EVE is famous for and more to activities in low sec where blob mentality seems to be escalating ever faster. But--as we discussed in the Blob Issues focus group--it's difficult to define what a blob even is, beyond "a fleet bigger than your own". With that in mind, perhaps fleet stacking penalties might be something that could only apply in low sec Just one more intriguing idea that would want a lot more discussion before being considered worth a proposal in AH.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.14 12:52:00 - [131] In a follow-on discussion to the low sec focus group mentioned a couple of posts ago, my fellow CSM5 candidate Illectroculus Defined had some interesting ideas for expanding the concept of "production of criminal goods" as a way of boosting low sec with unique content. He wrote those ideas up in his blog. Keep in mind that Illectro's ideas are just that: IDEAS, not well-defined proposals. Thinking outside the box was highly encouraged during the the focus group, as is further discussion. Personally I thought the ideas were intriguing and once tweaked for overall balance would fit neatly as components of an incrementally-implemented criminal production supply chain. I'm sharing the link here as a way of keeping all the focus group stuff together for easy access by those who are interested. If you have questions for Illectro about his ideas, you should probably comment on his blog post or in his campaign thread. Life In Low Sec

You can download the recording from the following link. There is both audio-only and iPhone friendly audio/video file that indicates who is talking at the time. netGameRadio In the download section, there is also an an audio version of an interview I did with Myxnee for a new EVE News vodcast show I am working on.

Mynxee Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2010.05.18 13:38:00 - [136] It seems that amongst all the discussion about how to attract more missioners to low sec, no one's really asked them what their take on low sec is and why they do or don't operate there. I'm not talking about opinions from pirates with mission running alts, but from players whose main play style is PVE. So, I created a post in Missions & Complexes to encourage feedback from this New Eden demographic. Feel free to chime in on that thread with your thoughts. Life In Low Sec

Bagehi Association of Commonwealth Enterprises Gentlemen's Club	Posted - 2010.05.26 15:53:00 - [150] Originally by: Mynxee Originally by: Cpt Branko What is your stand on being unable to dock when pointed? Personally I think it kinda jumps the shark. Warp scramblers and disruptors prevent a ship from initiating warp--what logical "in character" reason could you apply that would give them the ability to prevent docking? None. I've always thought webs fit the bill better. I mean, the docking mechanic is supposed to be like a tractor beam, webs are supposed to function in a similar fashion. Easy to reconcile the idea that you are preventing the station tractor beam from pulling the ship in. Just my two cents. Also, congrats Mynxee! This signature is useless, but it is red.
