Alright gents and ladies I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this but I would like to get this rolling before its too late.
I invite everyone that wishes to run for CSM8 to post in here. We need to create a list of candidates to have ready incase CCP changes the voting system, or have a list to run primaries off of so we can get representation through the current system.
I will try to maintain this list updated and Down The Pipe will do short 15-30 minute interviews with each candidate and post them here. Once we get a few more candidates on the list we will do debates which I think will be an hour long I think(still thinking about it)
You dont have to start a thread for you candidacy (like Cipreh has) you can just post a reply in here. Obviously make it a proper announcement as I will be linking those for people to read.
List of announced candidates: Cipreh
Thanks for reading, Bronya Host of podcast Down The Pipe www.downthepipe-wh.com Podcast Public Channel is DTP Podcast @drverikan on twitter [email protected] |

Is it still just an idea or is someone actually making it happen? I am working on it, but if you read the minutes, CCP *may* be changing the voting system which would make a primary unneeded. I am trying to get confirmation from them, which should be this week (hopefully) that the changes will happen. If not, I am planning on running a primary.
FYI
I'm all for someone getting the ball rolling on this as long as people aren't stepping on each other to be the one to do it. |

I don't think it's fair to expect all candidates to be willing to be interviewed on a podcast. Instead, you should ask all candidates to answer a standard list of question and submit a personal statement (so people know what they stand for) in this thread. Then you should update your initial post with links to all the candidates "election posts".

If any candidate doesnt wish to participate in an interview I cant force them, its something we offer to do and think(In our humble opinion) any serious candidate should take advantage of. Its just another way for them to talk to the community and show their involvement.

Oh i think the interviews are a good idea but only later on in the process. I would suggest saving the interviews until we have a short list of wormhole candidates.
I mean what if we get 20 candidates that all want to be on your podcast, are you going to interview all 20 who might be saying similar things? Why i play EVE:-á20% for gameplay experience, 30% for the social aspect and 50% because of CCPGÇÖs empty promises.-á |

Well It would mean a hell of a lot more work, and we would all have to listen to all the podcast to get a fair and vaild hue about every person, then there's the primary itself ( dont know whats going on with that just now )
But as Rek said before, getting a set of standard questions & so other things.
you could ask:
Why are you running?
What do you want from the CSM?
Whats your credentails?
Whats the thing at the top of your agenda, were you to be put forth as our choice?
Stuff along those lines  I am a small portion of the community-á https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=194625 |

These are all valid concernes. Candidates should mainly rely on written statements. And if anyone want to know more they can listen to the interview. As far as 20 candidates, yea I'll do the work because I think its worth it its also why they will be short 15 minute pieces. And yes there will be a standard list of questions.

Anyone feel like putting their hand up to run for the rest of wormhole space, so you can get 12 votes and feel like **** afterwards?

WH alliances are not large enough that any one alliance could push their candidate like goons could with Mittani (who got also one of my four votes :p). And there's plenty of rivalry between the larger alliances.
If someone from a small wh corp would run and present a sensible platform and prove that he/she is dedicated and competent, I'm pretty sure he'd have a good shot at winning the nomination and a CSM seat.

I will be running for CSM8 this year. I have been waiting to publish my platform based on whether we will have wormhole primaries or not (still waiting on word from CCP). However, I can at least state my intentions in this post.
As the fundamental purpose of the Council of Stellar Management is communication between the player base and CCP, I will not be running a platform based on broad, sweeping changes to any particular element of EVE. (Well, except maybe POS's, but this is nothing new.) I will instead be focusing on two elements that are important to me.
First is communication, as it was the entire reason the CSM was formed. Communication of one kind or another has always been vital to me (and is, in fact, one of my IRL degrees). To give an example, our alliance's website conveys a large quantity of information that has helped many incoming pilots adjust to wormhole space. And wormhole space can always use more pilots. No candidate can be a strong candidate if he forgets his ultimate priority.
Second is a respect for diversity, something that my alliance has respected since the very start. We do not all roll in large deadspace-fit T3 gangs (although some do). Some of us like to camp systems in stealth bombers; some like to farm PI; some like to manufacture and research; some of us even like to *shudder* mine (which I have done my own fair share of). Sometimes we blob, when we feel the situation warrants it. In most cases, however, our fleets are perhaps a dozen, if not far fewer. We hunt wormhole space, low-sec, and null. We live in systems ranging from C1's and C2's to higher C5's. We are an alliance founded on diversity and mutual respect for the playstyles of others, and we have shown more than one corp the door that has breached this sacred trust.
While any specific change to EVE's mechanics will always advantage one group over another, I believe it is my job to represent this mindset...to promote a wide variety of improvements that ultimately remembers everyone, from the richest, most devoted C6 pilots to those who can only sign in on weekends to run their PI. Because in the end, they all pay for their subscription.
I appreciate your consideration for me as your candidate for CSM8. Win or lose, I firmly believe it is important for me to run. |

You may be interested to know, that there is a plan to have some kind of Primaries if the voting system is not changed by CCP.
The idea is to have a single (or two, but unlikely) candidate from WH community. Having a lot of candidates can bring none to CSM. More details are to come the next week, since ATM we are waiting for CCP to change (or not) the mechanic.
To my knowledge most of the candidates from big alliances are aware of this idea, that was simultaneously proposed by several people, Two Step including. |

Jack... normally I like your posts, but you're making it hard...
Confirming that TLost and Talocan are NOT large alliances that live in wormhole space. Also confirming that no one else is allowed to announce that they'll be running now that we have 2 guys (3 guys if you read the first page of this thread). And confirming that no one ever votes for their corp mates just because they're in the same corp.
The CSM is a popularity contest where the most votes wins, and the most votes will come from those large alliances. Just like how there's a very large proportion of nullsec members, because those alliances have large numbers.
I live in hope, but let's be realistic about this. Anyhow, I'll stop crapping up this thread and ask that anyone who wants to continue this please PM me. |

so please tell me what is so wrong about a CSM member coming from a large wormhole alliance? also, with that attitude no one else will run. Who's stopping anyone else from putting their voice out and being a good candidate? I will vote for whoever I think will get the job done best. Based on their interaction with our small wormhole community and the points they will push to CCP as a CSM member. |

Okay if we are going to be electing a representative, I think we need to establish that the person at least understands the concept of representation.
Your personal opinions are subsumed by the will of your constituency.
This is why communication with your constituents is important. There's a saying in the military that you never complain down you only complain up. Our candidate, whomever we pick, needs to understand completely and thoroughly that this is a thankless task and it's not going to be a whole terrible lot of fun at times. You're going to be getting complained at a lot. Yes, you get a plane ticket to Iceland, it may be cold, but you are going to have flames under your ass no matter what you do.
Get too aggressive, you'll be mocked and shouted down by your representative peers. Do nothing and incur the wrath of your constituency.
Naturally large W-Space corps and alliances such as Transmission Lost and Aperture Harmonics will put one of their own up for election. It's to be expected. What we need from this person is sound knowledge of w-space, and open lines of communications to everyone living in W-Space. Not just those that live at the upper end of W-Space, like myself. C1's and the like often have their own residents and small corps. Just because TL and AHARM are the big kids in the sandbox, doesn't mean that the people they put up for representatives shouldn't be reaching out to the little guys and getting their thoughts and concerns as well.
For this I propose that we get some kind of diplomatic forum going. (If there already is one, I am woefully ignorant, and would appreciated being enlightened.)
Yes killing each other makes us better people. But when it comes time to pick our rep, we need to pull together as a community and work together. If only long enough to get the job done, and then go back to stalking each other with murderous intent.
Our representative should have good people skills and able to deal with the big egos of the null space crowd so they don't get drowned out when it comes to "bullet point" concerns W-space residents have. And I have to say that Two step has done a pretty good job so far. Not perfect, mind you, but pretty good. And I thank him for his time and efforts on our behalf.

ANY csm candidate, from any kind of space, SHOULD be from a large group so that he actually represents a good number of people... i would have thought this was obvious. your comments are especially ironic since as already mentioned, both TL and TALUN have member corps in WHs ranging from C2 to C5 space and are probably the only WH entities with members living in such a large spread of WHs, unlike us evil C6 only corps...
would TL/TALUN be my first port of call if I was going to nominate a wh csm candidate? dunno, but they'd both be in my top 5 or so groups worth considering.
in any case, ANY wh csm candidate is better than no wh csm candidate. |

Update: So we decided we wouldn't do separate interviews with each candidate since it wouldn't be very productive in our opinion. However we will schedule debates between the candidates and they will be able each talk about all the topics YOU care about.
So with that in mind I'm going to just ask you guys to put up questions you would want your future CSM representatives to answer. Keep in mind this will work just like the Two Step thread any trolls will be ignored and all good questions will be asked.
Also any discussion you want to have RELATING to the primaries\elections feel free to have in here just keep it to topic

Have two questions for CSM candidates.
1. Do you plan to bring your own concerns to CCP, bring the wormhole communities concerns or a mix of both.
2. Will you keep in touch with the WH community after you are elected? Or will you simply disappear into your WH never to be seen again? |

My questions to the CSM candidates:
1. What features do you consider requirements for any "fixed" POS system? 2. What is your stance on the changes to T3s? What changes would you make? 3. Self destructing inside POS force fields, allow/disallow and why?
I'm sure I'll think of a couple more, but these will do to start. |

Nathan Jameson,
Should you really be posting in a CSM8 WH candidates post with the following taken directly from your JPSC post "I do not intend to advance only wormhole-related concerns to the CCP offices" or from page 2 of this thread "I actually live in Jita."
If you intend on advancing not just WH related items but other Eve-wide issues I fear that your focus on ensuring that us WHers have a voice will become diluted when you invariable get drawn into 0.0/LS/HS issues, you will lose sight of what matters to us (your voters).
I'm not going to even entertain the comment about living in jita, how are we supposed to get some stress rrelief when you screw up and we canGÇÖt come and hunt you down and provide you with a express route to HS in anger
While I wont claim to speak for most/all of the WH community, I do view the WH CSM candidate as someone who will ensure that whatever fix/new feature gets implmeneted does not impact us either completely or at very least some form of heads up that we're about to be screwed over (although it may completely fix current 0.0/LS/HS issues), if your not living daily in a WH and focusing on other issues what assurance can you give to us that you are our best choice for our WH CSM. |

That was added because I was posting in the JPSC part of the forums, not Wormholes. I do not simply want to be "that guy that cares only about wormholes" to the rest of the community. I respect Two Step a lot, and I don't think he has that reputation either.
That being said, I will think first about any development's impact on wormholes, as I am not simply a single pilot in EVE. I am the executor of a wormhole alliance I built from scratch over the course of years. I just don't intend to have my blinders on to the point that I start suggesting no local for null sec, in other words. That would ruin the carefully-cultivated climate that makes null sec what it is.

Wormholes are an environment I truly discovered less than two weeks ago (after almost 2 years of nullsec), and I think that it's a very good part of the game that deserves a CSM candidate.
Those are the issues which I think are important to fix. I'll consider those first when choosing who I'll vote for :
Switching T3 subs in-space (And assembling T3s).
Nothing to be said about that. Those ships are produced, used and lost in wormholes. How come I'm forced to haul one to a station to assemble it ?
Pushing for a modular POS (Or New in-space structures system).
If you bring new POSes and/or new structures, this will bring good things to EVE as a whole. And it will be a relief to wormholers who have to deal with it every day.
Alliance bookmarks.
This is quite an important thing. Having to "trade" bookmarks through a shuttle all the god damn time is annoying. I'm part of a rather small wormhole corp, and being one of the only EUTZ guys here, I constantly have to deal with that BM-filled shuttle in order to actually move around.
Dreads/Carriers rebalance, so that we're not stuck with Archons+Moros > Everything else.
Bring the Moros in-line with the Revelation. Bring the other carriers in-line with the Archon. That'll do. I fly a Nidhoggur/Naglfar/Chimera/Phoenix, but all those 4 caps are close to uselessness in WH combat. Come on.
Low level PVE activites in every wormholes, no matter which class they are.
Basically, except Ladars (That you can do alone because they're kinda broken) and some Magnetos (that you can do alone because they're broken too), there is absolutly nothing you can do alone. I understand that wormholes and EVE as a whole is a multiplayer game, don't get me wrong. I'm just asking for "something to do when no one is online" that doesn't involve logging in an alt and do something somewhere else.
Having a few lowlevel complexes/sites wouldn't hurt. |

Nathan Jameson wrote:I will be running for CSM8 this year. I have been waiting to publish my platform based on whether we will have wormhole primaries or not (still waiting on word from CCP). However, I can at least state my intentions in this post. As the fundamental purpose of the Council of Stellar Management is communication between the player base and CCP, I will not be running a platform based on broad, sweeping changes to any particular element of EVE. (Well, except maybe POS's, but this is nothing new.) I will instead be focusing on two elements that are important to me. First is communication, as it was the entire reason the CSM was formed. Communication of one kind or another has always been vital to me (and is, in fact, one of my IRL degrees). To give an example, our alliance's website conveys a large quantity of information that has helped many incoming pilots adjust to wormhole space. And wormhole space can always use more pilots. No candidate can be a strong candidate if he forgets his ultimate priority. Second is a respect for diversity, something that my alliance has respected since the very start. We do not all roll in large deadspace-fit T3 gangs (although some do). Some of us like to camp systems in stealth bombers; some like to farm PI; some like to manufacture and research; some of us even like to *shudder* mine (which I have done my own fair share of). Sometimes we blob, when we feel the situation warrants it. In most cases, however, our fleets are perhaps a dozen, if not far fewer. We hunt wormhole space, low-sec, and null. We live in systems ranging from C1's and C2's to higher C5's. We are an alliance founded on diversity and mutual respect for the playstyles of others, and we have shown more than one corp the door that has breached this sacred trust. While any specific change to EVE's mechanics will always advantage one group over another, I believe it is my job to represent this mindset...to promote a wide variety of improvements that ultimately remembers everyone, from the richest, most devoted C6 pilots to those who can only sign in on weekends to run their PI. Because in the end, they all pay for their subscription. I appreciate your consideration for me as your candidate for CSM8. Win or lose, I firmly believe it is important for me to run.

Questions for CSM candidates:
1. Why are you running for the CSM? 2. Why do you think you would be better at representing the entire community, than other candidates? 3. What one change would you make to wormholes to increase/improve pvp? 4. What one change would you make to wormholes to improve pve? 5. What non wormhole related feature do you feel strongly about? Why i play EVE:-á20% for gameplay experience, 30% for the social aspect and 50% because of CCPGÇÖs empty promises.-á |

It's going to be tough to sort through all the BS, but when we do decide on a candidate. For better or worse..we need to back them fully with the entire WH community as a whole.
The small insignificant changes from the major changes can be viewed 2 ways imo..realisitic or unrealistic. At some point we need to weigh what we can realistically get improved against what will end up going back and forth. I think that some changes are extremely low priority but they might also be the easiest to improve based on degree of difficulty or investment from CCP. They are going to be paying these dev's to work on these changes. This takes resources. As much as POS 2.0 is being pushed by the wh community, CCP says it isn't worth their investment. Which sucks, but I understand their end. In a sense, I feel like maybe we should try to take advantage of this position while we do have it and push what we would seem to be most realistic until we brainstorm ways to improve poses or whatever larger changes further. Making CCP feel that it would be worth their investment because the improvements would promote more pos use, more player use, and ultimately more player subs which generates more revenue. Maybe smaller improvements on existing poses for now. I'm not a programmer/developer, but I am a businessman, I understand CCP's end. If we want to push for these changes, we need to make it work for them. After all, CCP is a business they aren't hear for the carebear tears. We need these changes to not only improve our way of WH life, it needs to work with all space. A fairly long list of easy fixes, IE (subsystem fitting in whs, alliance bm, more folders in CHA's, SD inside FF, etc etc) I honestly don't know how difficult it would be to change these, but it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult. [ I could be way off base there.] These changes would affect all of whs, not just the C6 juggernaut alliances. I understand the concern of the smaller alliances. Check out the candidates, if you don't feel like your intrests are being covered, you are free to run as CSM.
Please stop asking these open ended questions "like are you going to forget about the little guy when youre voted in" These don't help, any person with a 6th grade education would know how to answer that question, whether genuine or not, in order to improve their image.
No doubt about it, whoever is selected will have their work cut out for them. Good luck guys, I look forward to reading/hearing constructive points backed with solid arguments. |

WH alliances are not large enough that any one alliance could push their candidate like goons could with Mittani (who got also one of my four votes :p). And there's plenty of rivalry between the larger alliances. If someone from a small wh corp would run and present a sensible platform and prove that he/she is dedicated and competent, I'm pretty sure he'd have a good shot at winning the nomination and a CSM seat. Being only a year into this game i'm actually happy to hear that. I've been reading alot lately and it worried me that it was just a more private nullsec only with the major groups running the place.
Though so far since being involved in Wspace i've noticed so far that it is no comparison to Null in terms of the players  |

I'm happy to say that I, too, am running for CSM 8.
EVE has been a passion of mine for years, and I would love to represent the WH community on the CSM. I'll be pushing more publicity in the days and weeks to come, so stay tuned. |

There's a lot of truth to that. And a lot of paper pushing to be done in the CSM (mails, meetings, CSM minutes, JPSC threads, etc.). I think I have my Tedious Paperwork Specialization up to at least IV by now.

sorting out the BS is half the fun I reckon , we should be asking the tough questions to ensure that whoever gets our votes is worthy of standing up for the WH community and our support until the next election.
One thing I would like to see if more transparency/consolidation on the topics that the WH CSM is taking to CCP and providing feedback where NDA's allow, picking up on this weeks forum threadnaught and then replying to said thread is a spotty way to do things at best. Yes there is eve search for finding a topic in the forums or the odd town hall here and there but there has to be a better way.
Q. How would you as the WH community CSM provide consolidated but structured feedback between us & CCP |
