We both know that communications from CCP can sometimes be unclear or less than timely. What do you foresee as CSM6's key challenges in that regard, and what ideas have occurred to you for tackling those challenges?

Roc Wieler:
Explicitly and literally, could you please walk me through the means by whichùin other words, by what exact mechanic(s) or specific process(es)ùyou intend to get your pet topics pushed through to CCP? Bear in mind that it has been expressly stated by CCP, ever since the advent of the CSM, that the CSM does not exist to serve as a group of amateur game developers. I am genuinely curious how you intend to bypass the stated position of CCPùthat doing things is not what the CSM is forùso that you can deliver on your promise to do things or get things done. Your comments?

As you can see here he's not making specific promises.
Quote:
I could tell you about my ideas for EVE; how I would make factional warfare meaningful, how I would make low sec the single best area of space to live, how they should have tea as a commodity instead of just synthetic coffee... but I wonÆt. I wonÆt overpromise on any of these things.
[snip]
I have no fears of saying no. I have no qualms with showing flaws in logic and providing better alternatives. My entire career has been about qualified communication. I have always brought all of my passion to my work, to my hobbies, to my life.
To me, being on the CSM is no different. Qualifed communication is key. There must be passion. There must be an understanding on many levels of how our game works. I have that.

I asked my own alliance, UshraÆKhan, to explain it to me. We spoke about logistical advantages for fleet activity, how easy JBN make it to trap an enemy fleet, or escape from one. Low upkeep costs, they donÆt appear on the overview, etc, etc. There are a lot of reasons why nullsec alliances love jump bridges, thatÆs for sure.
I also spoke with three other alliances. I received pretty much the same information, leading me to believe that the information my own alliance provided was relatively unbiased. ThatÆs the key for me, really. There are always two sides to a story, and in the middle is the truth. I want to work with the CSM to provide a solution that is best for everyone.
CSM delegates should be expected to understand the mechanics they're offering feedback on, yes?

Don't tell me an individual in his alliance misinformed him? Think of the children.

That part of his blog is "in character"... i.e. the character he RPs is a sexist.

I remember you, the guy who twice flew Minmitar faction war fleets around aimlessly, avoiding combat. Then spent the rest of his time claiming to be a Minmitar Fleet Commander. Next time I heard of you, was this Capsuleer thing. Now I'm guessing that you see the CSM as a vehicle to advocate your app, with the intention of earning money for your self.

Hey so what're you going to do about Jump Bridge units not appearing on the overview? That ****'s really annoying man, I often get lost when trying to use jumpbridges because they don't appear on the overview
Granted I'm making a big stink over a very small part of your campaign but when you're that clueless about a very key issue I'm not sure I can vote for you :( Sorry

One of the issues that the CSM will have to talk with CCP about will (assuming it's not already patched into oblivion before they're elected) is the nature of JB's/cynos/jump freighters/etc...
I think it may very well be detrimental to have a CSM delegate who doesn't know anything about how those work or, worse, have a mistaken impression about them.
Put it this way, if highsec ganking was an issue you felt was important and one of the CSM's said that his position was that everything should stay as it is because "it's impossible to gank anything in Empire bigger than a shuttle", would you feel confident voting for them?

I think that Roc's campaign has an interesting perspective. He's approaching it from a different angle to many players could. The thing to remember here is that this is a council or representatives, not a single representative.
I'm essentially a hi sec carebear, (nb I've been in null sec and will eventually go back, I also plan to try wormholes) however, I would not refuse to vote for a candidate who was a ninja salvager for example, even if their gamestyle directly conflicts with mine. The CSM needs to be balanced by having lots of differing opinions - a council full of the same people will fail worse than a titan pilot hitting jump instead of bridge :P

I believe (rightly or wrongly) that the CSM needs to have a good mix of people in. As essentially a hi sec carebear (I've been in null recently and have experienced jump bridges on my overview, but not as a beacon like a cyno which is what I think Roc is referring to).
As a carebear, I would not refuse to vote for a ninja salvager as I believe Eve is what it is because of the diversity of players and gamestyles. I believe that Roc's experiences could add a unique benefit to CSM6 - and remember he will be one voice amongst many, not the only voice.
If he is voted on, I'm sure he will face much frustration and disappointment as some things he thinks are important are simply voted down or not seriously discussed due to other topics needing to be covered. I also think that, despite his IC person being an arrogant and mildly sexist guy, I also think his passion and enthuasism for the game will make him a good candidate.
I'm also open to change and have not yet decided where my votes will go, so keep posting your manifesto Roc, and come vote day best of luck, whether I vote for you or not

There's nothing wrong with having a mix of players (in general).
In specific, however, if that mix of players has members who are ignorant of key issues that will be very important for the CSM to tackle, it's not good.
IIRC, Meissa is pretty carebeary. He seems like a good person to support if you like that sort of thing.

Politics is fun. Let's go with that.
So far, I've been misquoted, had ideas twisted around to be interpreted to suit someone else's point of view, been labelled as things and accused of things completely untrue.
I must be doing something right.
Let me reiterate again the important parts, as some people seem to only digest the parts they want to:
1. I am not interested in being an amateur game developer. I simply show examples of ideas to illustrate that I am a thinking candidate and not a puppet.
2. I don't know everything about EVE. Having jump bridges show up on overview may not be a solution, but as has been noted, CSM should be comprised of several individuals with differing experiences. If other CSM can intelligently debate the pros and cons of a proposed solution, then I am open to learning more about this game I love.
3. Roc is Roc, a character. I am not Roc. This refers to a term called roleplay that obviously several people don't understand. I'm sorry for your ignorance.
4. As I have stated clearly in my EVE API blog post, I have zero interest in monetizing Capsuleer. That app is dead and shall not be resurrected so get over it already.
5. At the end of the day, nothing the CSM recommends or fights for/against may be successful. So why do it? Because I can. I can stand up and intelligently fight. I can eloquently defend my positions with experience and candor. I can. And if voted in, I will.
What I will not engage in is silly arguments with close minded individuals that believe they know me, or know about me, but honestly have taken neither the time nor interest to read anything beyond what they wish to make of me. That's fine, and you're entitled to your life, and your vote, but please don't expect me to engage you directly unless you're genuinely interested in my positions on issues regarding CSM, and how I hope to serve the community best.
For those of you continuing to be supportive, I thank you for taking the time to understand my intentions in this campaign, and appreciate the effort you put in to spreading the word to #RocTheVote
