Hi, my name is Kale Kold, i'm the author of the Pirate Ledger Killboard and a five year veteran of EVE.
Over the years i have been there, seen it, done it and got the t-shirt. I feel now that the time is right to give something back! To represent the lowsec player-base in the Council of Stellar Management, to use my experience to put lowsec player issues to CCP.
I want to see lowsec more desireable for the highsec population, whether that's through mineral re-allocation or mission creep. I want to see lowsec more populated by the people who wouldn't necessarily go there. I want to make sure piracy is recognised as the valuable isk sink it is and that pirates are recognised as providers of risk and adrenaline in the game. I want to represent YOU!
The Larkonis Trassler Affair After voting for and reading about the discraceful actions of Larkonis Trassler i feel i need to say a few words. I voted for Larkonis to be the voice of lowsec and piracy and to represent us in the CSM. He betrayed that trust by using the position for personal gain. Although his actions were a very nice piece of piracy, it didn't do much in the way of representation of the lowsec community. I promise i will not act in this way. I am sincere in the fact that i want to address the issues of lowsec and piracy. I want to make sure im in the CSM for the duration in order to hassle them to take a look at our issues. I want us heard and i will not let any of my voters down!
Your vote is a very valuable piece of trust, i do not take it lightly! I know what my responsibilities will be and i go in with my eyes open and my mind firm.
I WILL REPRESENT YOU!
So without further ado, if you've got an issue that's driving you nuts? Let me know! Fed up of some in-game mechanic? Mail me! I am here to help and to represent you and the lowsec community to CCP.
- I am a five year veteran of EVE
- I have spent nearly 2 years as a -10.0 pirate in lowsec
- I want to give piracy a boost and to be recognised as extremely valuable to EVE
- I want to give lowsec a boost and to get more people visiting
- I will put forward informed dialogue about YOUR issues
- I will revisit older issues and bugs
- I will make sure YOU are heard by CCP
Vote for someone who knows your pain, someone who's experienced your issues and understands them. Vote for someone who will represent YOUR interests on the Council of Stellar Management. Vote for someone who will present these issues for informed discussion.
Vote for a say on the future of EVE
Vote for KALE KOLD in the 5th CSM elections.

I 100% endorse this man. Kale Kold has been and always will be an advocate of Low Sec Piracy, Empire Wars and PvP in general. I will be voting "Kale Kold" for CSM. If you are a fighter and love to engage in pvp, you should to.

Hi Kale,
you state that you want to improve lowsec and piracy, but you do not provide any details about how you would go about improving this. From what I have seen of CSM members in the past those with ideas but not solutions tend to have their issues get pushed to the side by CSM members that have specific changes and not just conceptual ones.
A couple of the ideas you have expressed are mineral re-allocation and mission creep (I assume you either mean highsec agents giving missions in lowsec or moving the best agents out to lowsec). What specific mechanics would you lobby to have changed?

I like what you have to say Kale, but who are you? The pirate community is so small that practically everyone knows eachother and I have not heard of you or your corp.
Where do you run? Tell the tales of your exploits and what you would consider to be piracy etc.

What is this crap? An honest pirate? How do you expect to represent our needs if you arent planning to lie, cheat, and steal your way through the CSM?
Besides, CCP doesnt care about low-sec. Pirates are the gingers of EVE. We are interfering with their intentions to expand their way into the space equivalent of Hello Kitty online.

Hi Khul, let me explain a little better.
I have quite a few ideas written down about how to improve the situation in lowsec and to get more people to populate those areas. The trouble is i don't want this to be about what i want, i would rather be a representative for the C&P community as a whole and put forward your ideas. So over the next few weeks i will be gathering ideas and issues to raise with CCP once elected.
As for the mission/mineral ideas i would like to petition CCP to add further lvl4 missions that give better rewards which can only be completed in lowsec. A lvl4.5 npc pirate focused mission if you will. Also i would also petition the council to make certain ores more populus in lowsec and decreased in 0.0/hisec. We can't just move lvl4 missions and ores to lowsec as this would have a detrimental effect on the economy but we can massage the figures.

Hi VicturusTeSaluto, remember EVE is a big place and noone knows everybody.
You do however raise a good point so let me give you a little background for people who don't know me. I started pirating in 2007 after joining a newly formed corp (VIRUS) which was created by ex-Black Rabbit members. VIRUS was a 100% lowsec piracy corp for a long time until recently going into high and joining the REPO (industries) alliance doing merc contracts. Today we are an independant hisec piracy/war deccing corp. We are currently taking a month or so off for recruiting/reorganisation.
I have had a very successful pirating career all over the EVE universe in many regions. I have always been 100% self sufficient through lowsec piracy and i'm currently a multi-billionaire many times over from my conquests. Over the last year or so i have corp hopped to find more action and get more experience in PvP and piracy but now i'm back to my roots in VIRUS. Here are a couple of killboard links which prove my credentials:
http://virus.griefwatch.net/?p=pilot&pilot=Kale%20Kold http://www.kalekold.net/eve/killboard/killer.php?Name=Kale%20Kold (log in as guest)
The statistics speak for themselves. You can also click the battle record in my sig to take a look at my battleclinic profile.

Would you support a mechanic change whereby out-of-corp remote reppers will not only be flagged to the pilot that is aggressing the ship that the RR is repping, but also that the RR will be locked out of docking / jumping as if they had directly aggressed?

Joining an alliance should cost significant isk. I think corporations leaving an alliance during war then joining back up without penalties is really bad mechanics. One should have to pay anywhere from 100-200mil to join an alliance. If they want to leave and come back and repay the fees...then I can live with that.
Also, In real world scenario there are "Terms of surrender" when in fact a party surrenders. I beleive that wars should be issued in the begining like a contract would. The declaring corp needs to add any term of surrender etc.
I'm sure there will be many that will cry foul about this idea. but war is hell and you just don't take a vacation while is going on and come back when it's over.
Would you support this idea?

I would add that in the war contract portion, if a "term of surrender" is added, then the corp/alliance making the contract has to pay a fee as well to reduce "frivolous" war dec demands.

I would change lowsec in a way that sometimes Concord would show up on a certain % ^^ and sometimes not. 0,1 being very unlikely and 0,4 being more likely... in that way there would be not a sooo harsh cut between 0.5 and 0.4 and the carebears would feel a bit safer/ visit lowsec more

I kind of agree with that post in that we need to give people more help with lowsec to make sure they at least stand a chance of getting through the gate! I propose some small changes to allow people better intel of a lowsec system before entering.
If you refer to this thread i outline a few proposals of the top of my head. I am, however, always open to suggestion. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1307310
I thoroughly agree we need to make a few small changes to allow people to feel safer when entering lowsec, but at the same time we dont want to nerf the pirate's ability to gank. I think we just need to achieve some sort of balance.
At the minute piracy is dying and has been over the last few years as a result of other changes, we need to address this and implement some way of providing an incentive to visit lowsec. I have collected a few ideas and working on an overall proposal.
Remember i represent you, give me your ideas and we'll get 'em on the table on the CSM!

There's some really good material in that thread, mostly on page 2 and 3. It would be worth giving a look, quite a few ideas tossed around. Some good, some bad, but it would be worth the time to peruse.

I think he is referring to the problem of Sentry Guns shooting drones/fighters if you have GCC.
If Sentry guns didn't do this then it would be a huge boon to pirates everywhere as A) pirates would now be able to use drone ships as pirate ships (Dominix, Ishtar, Myrm, Vexor), and B) pirates would have the advantage of actually being able to employ their drones and get some added DPS instead of having to ignore drone DPS output in EFT calculations completely.
Not being able to use your drones while fighting on a gate, particularly solo, is a big drawback to being a pirate. Fighters doubly so.
Also, if you have to ask about this question, are you sure you're the right person to be representing pirates everywhere? -

Originally by: Bellum Eternus I think he is referring to the problem of Sentry Guns shooting drones/fighters if you have GCC.
I see, tbh i've never even thought about this because me and my corp only use ewar drones in emergencies and never dps drones on the gate for this very reason. We always assumed people just adapt and fly other ships, etc...
Originally by: Bellum Eternus Also, if you have to ask about this question, are you sure you're the right person to be representing pirates everywhere?
I think i'm the perfect person to represent you, otherwise i wouldn't ask for your issues or your opinion and i would just dictate to you what i stand for. Make no mistake i am here to represent you! If you want someone else to do that job you have your vote, but good luck in finding a sympathetic ear for pirates/lowsec in the CSM without me.
