Greetings capsuleers,
Most of you have seen me around in the role of ex Lead GM Guard, but some of you might also know me as the guy with the hammer in such videos as HTFU. I've recently relocated to the Community team after serving in the Customer Support team for the last 8 years of my life. My new title is that of Community Developer which basically makes me the creative manager of the community team.
Think of me as the ringleader for Le Cirque de EVE, bringing you exciting announcements about whats happening in and out of New Eden. You'll be seeing me a lot on the forums and I'll constantly be on the lookout for all the cool things you're doing: player created content, reviews, articles, videos, get togethers and anything else that's fun and interesting coming from the player community. I want to work with you guys on making fun stuff happen so I'll be very open to ideas and suggestions from you guys, and if you need assistance from the Community team with a project that would benefit the community, I just might be your man. There are three easy ways to contact me: through the forum, via petition or email ([email protected]).
But what kind of person are you, Guard? What makes you tick? Ahh, I'm glad I asked myself that. I'm a gamer obviously. Love shooters and RPGs and of course..EVE! I've played since 2003, I prefer PVP to anything else and I have a small, but proud, collection of corpses in my hangar. I'm also pretty bad at PVP compared to most of you guys so my old clones are probably littered around a few of your hangars. To sustain my ship loss habit I trade on the market and run missions from time to time.
Apart from gaming and the internet, I like to travel, read and fish. Or more accurately perhaps, stand by a river or lake with a fishing pole in my hand while working my tan/sunburn. My fishing isn't that much better than my PVP but I'm learning, and last summer I caught my first salmon! His scaly corpse is dutifully stored in my freezer.
I'm not a Capricorn and I don't like long moonlit walks so I usually just take a taxi home from the pub.
I'm excited about my new role as it means I get to interact with you guys more freely and work for you guys from a different angle than before.
See you around!

I haven't decided yet whether to go for Sansha style mind slavery or simply build an army of fresh clones to post nice things about me on the forums. This is one of those issues where input from the existing community can help in the decision making process.
p.s. Probably it le should :P

Yes you may.
I've been doing the odd project with the people in Community and PR for a while, and somewhere along the way we were all drawn to each other to a point where there was no turning back. Long story short, I got offered a new position and decided to go for it. Leaving my brothers and sisters in CS wasn't easy after 8 years but they are only on the other side of the wall so I can still wander over when I get the urge. Or maybe I'll just start sending them petitions? Hmm.

Here's an idea for you. How about having someone to talk to/communicate to us on issues that bother us. For example we have been asking what is the deal with the final vote starship competition for months, have had a member of your team say he will get to us as soon as possible and after nearly 3 months we haven't heard a peep from anyone about the issue.
I don't think I'm asking too much from you. I would just like an update of what is going on. Why the month after month of delay, who won, has it even been decided, is there an issue that prevents you from telling us this information as in the people responsible aren't getting back to you about your requests for info, basicly anything to awknowledge the issue and give us some kind of view of how things are with that competition. Ignoring the whole issue makes you look really bad/not caring about players or the artists/lethargic anything negative really. Manage the community when these kinds of issues rise up and don't let it simmer for weeks and months, so it gets defused before it boils over.
PS. Congrats on getting transferred to team pink fluffy unicorns.

It's an old tradition to haze new salmon warriors by peer pressuring them into biting off, and swallowing, the back fin of their first catch. Usually it's chased with some Brennivfn but we only had scotch so I made do with that.
P.s. Don't worry about the fish. It was already in fish heaven when the picture was taken. Or..."swimming with the fishes" as they call it in certain circles.

Congrats on the new job. Don't know if it's a promotion or not doesn't matter either way though. Don't get burned out or take the whine and rages too seriously. EVER.
Would Eve be a bad place if ccp employees were able to create a fleet and host some mission running experiences for anyone that could attend? Or would that end up in madness?
On reflection I can see a mass blob spamming fleet channel to the point where it becomes as useful as the Help channel. Sorry.
All the best hope to see you in the forums (current and new) for at least the next few months.

Originally by: CCP Guard Greetings capsuleers,
Most of you have seen me around in the role of ex Lead GM Guard, but some of you might also know me as the guy with the hammer in such videos as HTFU. I've recently relocated to the Community team after serving in the Customer Support team for the last 8 years of my life. My new title is that of Community Developer which basically makes me the creative manager of the community team.
Think of me as the ringleader for Le Cirque de EVE, bringing you exciting announcements about whats happening in and out of New Eden. You'll be seeing me a lot on the forums and I'll constantly be on the lookout for all the cool things you're doing: player created content, reviews, articles, videos, get togethers and anything else that's fun and interesting coming from the player community. I want to work with you guys on making fun stuff happen so I'll be very open to ideas and suggestions from you guys, and if you need assistance from the Community team with a project that would benefit the community, I just might be your man. There are three easy ways to contact me: through the forum, via petition or email ([email protected]).
But what kind of person are you, Guard? What makes you tick? Ahh, I'm glad I asked myself that. I'm a gamer obviously. Love shooters and RPGs and of course..EVE! I've played since 2003, I prefer PVP to anything else and I have a small, but proud, collection of corpses in my hangar. I'm also pretty bad at PVP compared to most of you guys so my old clones are probably littered around a few of your hangars. To sustain my ship loss habit I trade on the market and run missions from time to time.
Apart from gaming and the internet, I like to travel, read and fish. Or more accurately perhaps, stand by a river or lake with a fishing pole in my hand while working my tan/sunburn. My fishing isn't that much better than my PVP but I'm learning, and last summer I caught my first salmon! His scaly corpse is dutifully stored in my freezer.
I'm not a Capricorn and I don't like long moonlit walks so I usually just take a taxi home from the pub.
I'm excited about my new role as it means I get to interact with you guys more freely and work for you guys from a different angle than before.
See you around!
Sup Guard, Nice to see you here. One thing stood out to me. Your interest in Community Projects. Well... I have a Community project you should get on board with.
See.. My project is, ANY CCP Employee that comes to Maui and lets me know they are here, gets bought a few brews (I Highly reccomend Maui Brewing Company's Coconut Porter), taken around in my old ratty car to see the less well known places to see, and if they, like me are persons interested in tempting our finned friends in the ocean to accept an offering, even get to use my not very used fishing tackle.

P.S. Did I mention I'd buy a few rounds? ----- ** ----- I thought I was real but found out I was just a forum troll |

It's an old tradition to haze new salmon warriors by peer pressuring them into biting off, and swallowing, the back fin of their first catch. Usually it's chased with some Brennivfn but we only had scotch so I made do with that.
P.s. Don't worry about the fish. It was already in fish heaven when the picture was taken. Or..."swimming with the fishes" as they call it in certain circles.

Let's talk about better Patch notes. It looks like NPC ECM mechanics were modified and it's catching people by surprise, where surprise means perma-jammed.
I don't thinks folks are adverse to the NPC ECM changes per se, but a little warning would have been nice due to the noticeable (and unexpected) impact it's having.
Without trustworthy patch notes, people will get into the habit of not doing anything remotely risky right after a patch (such as logging in) for fear being bitten by undocumented changes. (Let other people find them first.) Needless to say, encouraging people to not play the game after a patch isn't necessarily good for the community.
Can you run a request for more complete/accurate patch notes up the flag pole?
Thank you.

Hi SmashTech,
I do need to make more time to post and also to visit public channels in-game from time to time. I'm sort of in a transition between EVE and DUST 514, but I'll always be connected with EVE Online and the EVE Community team. So don't worry, I'm not gone. But CCP Guard is overflowing with that pizazz you mentioned, so you're definitely in good hands. We're really glad he's joined us on the Community side of things.
Last thing before I derail Guard's welcome thread any further -- you'll likely see more regular updates from me on Twitter than here on the forums. If you want to follow, I'm @CCP_Shadow

Welcome and Congrats!
...
Ok, how about a blog about those "new" forums. And no, I don't mean the security issues, Sreggs is handling that just fine. I mean CCP not listening to the community. We are divided on the visuals, so I don't really want to hear about that.
What we are not divided on is: The new forums are clearly inferior in function to the current forums. Why was this pushed through? Why was nearly none of the suggestions from the community listened to and iterated upon? The new forums clearly needed multiple more rounds of beta testing, or a process by which changes pointed out and requested from the community are listened to. Why was the old forum turned off instantly instead of easing into the new forum? Why isn't the content of these forums being pushed to the new forums? At least the stuff that is 90 days or less? We desperately need assurance that there will be CONTINUITY when you guys decide to roll out the new forums, or what's the point of these forums until the unknown date of the new instant roll out and turn off? Assured continuity means we can have legit conversations here and know that they will continue when the new forums come online. Why are the new forums customizable?
Does CCP even understand why this is such a big deal? The forums are the second most important communication tool in the game behind in-game chat. You guys screwed the pooch on the new forums (and I'm not talking about the security issues).
The security issues are just the single largest problem that the community is rallying behind it because it's the best way to attack and defeat the perceived enemy... the new forums.
The community is upset because CCP failed to listen to us. That is our perception. As soon as the back slapping stops, please start stepping up like Sreggs is on the security side and DEAL with us. Converse with us.

LOL No, but I have considered buying an acre or two and building an Earthship on it. That is pretty close to living under a rock XD.
Basically, I don't pay much attention to celebrities of any stripe as I just can't find their lives worthy of my interest. I'll enjoy a decent movie now and then and couldn't care less who the actors in it are.
Frankly, paying attention to celebrity lives... seems pretty pathetic to me. But then, I'm old and losing interest in the outside world. Now.. If Ozzy Osbourne came to Maui... I might actually find the energy to go to a concert if he did one, but.. other than that. Meh.

Twitter is just something I started using fairly recently as a way to keep conversations going with people, which has the advantage of being non-obtrusive while I'm at work. You're not missing anything by not being on Twitter as the big announcements are all made on the official EVE-O site, but a few of us (Fallout, Manifest, Zymurgist, and others at CCP) talk a bit with each other and with EVE players on Twitter when we can. Anyway, I'll likely be using it more now that I'm in a different TZ than the rest of the Community team. I'll still be on the forums from time to time just to talk though, so no worries.
