Seriously if you want a player on the CSM who represents high sec, that pilot should have a background of helping new players and is respected by all professions in high sec miners included. I have never seen James in the help chat channel. He hides in an NPC corp because he fears constant war decs. Why does he fear constant war decs you ask? Well he canGÇÖt defend himself and nobody will fight beside him. I think james is a goon highsec spy or he could possibly be the mittani. Pretty suspicious how his articles appeared so fast on the mittani website hmmmmmmGǪGǪ. I'm fairly sure if James needed to gather allies he'd be able to build fleets not many could match. Perhaps it is his mercy that keeps him in an NPC corp; so the poor foolish highsec carebears that would make the poor decision to wardec him don't have to go through the humiliating defeat against vastly superior forces.
I will believe that when I see it.

Using the same argument Iput forth that the state of Texas does not need its 2 Senators to represent them in Congress as long as California then usurps thier representation so they have 4 Senators... its still the same number and therefore Congress is properly filled up & the USA as a whole is represented
Considering I feel that assigning 2 senators per state regardless of population size and density is a moronic way to run your upper chamber I would argue both systems are equally as bad. By your logic you need 50 presidents too.
Its better then a popular vote for an entire council/ Senate/House... then only NYC seaboard, LA /SF, chicago would rule the USA ( at least then we wouldn'thave dumb Texan Presidents starting wars every other Presidency at least I guess )

Real question is if HI SEC miners saw James315 running as a CSM would they get off thier bums and vote against him?

If the Supreme Protector of Highsec were to cast himself into the race for the next CSM, I and many others would gladly pledge our support in such a noble cause.
+4 votes for James315, Supreme Protector and Saviour of Highsec

I am as qualified as anyone else to do so. However, the merit of the nomination and this discusison is not due to my qualifications, but due to James'. If I were to nominate a no-name hisec miner, nobody would care.
Alternatively, I have almost 1500 space likes, *****!

Problem: Not enough people in highsec give a crap enough about the CSM to vote. Not enough people in higsec even know what the CSM is. Too many noobs in higsec that are totally oblivious.
However, this does not mean they should not have representation in the CSM. Just, its going to be a very hard task to get someone elected.

Another reason James 315 would be a great representative: people who don't live in hisec would vote for him, helping him get elected. Did you see the sort of Goonswarm support he's getting in this thread?

Petrus Blackshell wrote:tl;dr: The title. James knows how hisec works and has written extensively on the psychological profile of hisec inhabitants, their activities, and how to improve hisec. He has also proven he is a man of action, not simply sitting behind his soapbox, but taking matters into his own hands and trying to make a change. His skill with written rhetoric, politically charged situations, keeping in touch with the community, and taking a stand for the area of Eve he lives in qualify him perfectly to serve on the CSM to advise CCP on matters pertaining to hisec space -- which the other CSM representatives so far may not have the background to actually do. James' presence on the CSM, or even his campaigning for CSM may serve as a wake-up call for hisec residents to actively participate in CSM elections. Because of all these reasons, I unofficially nominate James 315 as a CSM candidate to represent hisec! Who is with me? (This post is not endorsed by James, nor do I know if he is even willing to run for CSM; if/when you see this, James, please comment) (Edited title for clarity)
I don't know who that guy is, but his name easilly rolls off the tongue. James threeonefive.. James threeonefive... I like that.
Also, hey ... Hi-sec representative ... why not, sure. Here's the deal though, pretty much all of the CSM members currently on CSM 7 have had some experience living in high-sec. Therefore i think its only just that the high-sec representative also has experience living in somewhere other than high-sec.

For the convenience of those yet unaware of James' views and writings, have some links to James' manifestos on hisec and mining:

The threads turned into ranting as peoples' reaction to James' revolutionary ideas. Some may say hisec is unready for James 315, but I say that all of hisec needs him ASAP.

Lots of people dislike Mittens or any other CSM member, but that doesn't mean he was poor at his job. It's a polarizing situation to be in.

As much as I hate to say it, if James as a person was as dedicated as his forum character, he would be one of the best reps for his group (whatever you wish to label it as).
No way in hell that I woudl vote for him. He does not represent my interests as a vulture. |

There's nothing wrong with mining. It's a legitimate profession. James is simply fighting to keep it an active profession, and to promote player interaction while playing one of the most boring mechanics in Eve.
Bumping might not be the nicest thing to do, but he's making a difference in people's lives. And a nice profit.
