Communication and diversity. A proper platform, not vague at all.

His platform is communication and diversity! His alliance has a website!

Perhaps this is how they respect diversity!

Could you answer Kainotomiu's question about the two specific blog entries he provided?

It seems curious that much of your push for communications beyond the walls of your alliance only seems to have come about now that you're making a bid for CSM. You're going to keep a blog. You're going to appear on some podcasts. You weren't doing any of those things until you announced you were running.

If communications are so important to you for its own sake, rather than as a means to an end of padding your CSM candidacy, why is that?

Nathan is a great communicator and solo's Dreadnaughts. Deal with it.

Sorry, I think I'm going to have to disagree with that.

What do you know about the Talocan?

Nathan, what is your platform on Suiciding in POS shields ?

Because ... err ... no reason really, just wanted to ask.

That's the spirit !

However, I would be careful not to give high-class wormholes more reasons to evict lower classes (i.e no self-destruct) because it would ruin the power-to-small-corporations specificity of wormholes.

Wow thats really nice blog. The stakes are high!!

Therefore, to further expound upon my platform and candidacy, I will be representing the common manGÇôthe GÇ£little guy.GÇ¥ I will remember the big voices of the game, the GÇ£end gamersGÇ¥ who need something new to shoot at with their Loki-MorosGÇÖs. But I will especially remember the multitude of smaller CEOs and pilots who only wish to for role management to be easier for growing their corp. Or for a more developed backstory for the Sleepers they shoot day-to-day. Or for a new tier of Destroyers to be developed that they can manufacture in the depths of space. [italics added for emphasis]

Is this another example of your "communication"? You could at least answer some of his questions, for example

So if I vote for you, on the basis of providing a voice for wormhole space and POS revamp/modular POS, I will not have to worry that you are secretly in favor of carebear creep?

I guess a question you might like better is what is your stance on lowering risk and/or limiting non-consensual PVP in hisec space?

Let's put this vaunted communication and diversity platform you've got going to the test.

You know the question that's coming up - let's talk stew.

As someone who has worked with Nate extensively in the past I can confirm he is a sane and trustworthy individual.

Nate: good luck with your campaign, I'm looking forward to seeing you succeed.

On another note, Kaji and Blazier still have those Tengus and fly them often. (It was intarrnational talk like a pirate day after all)

There are a lot changes coming for eve. While I live in w-space, one of the most interesting for me personally will be to see how nullsec will change / evolve. For exemple, there's ideas that sov should be based on activity and not based on who owns certain structures. Another is beeing able to build/shape a system, placing your mark on it for everyone to see when they jump into the system. I can see some mechanics like that working in wspace to.

I would like to know your views on this. Both from a nullsec persepective and from a wspace persepective, and do you think this increase interaction between nullsec/wspace systems or not. If so, would you consider it good or bad.

I'll post the same question in a couple of other csm-topics to.

Hello there!

I would like to name several situations that I feel are detrimental to the game. Give a solution and ask you for your stance on both. I do need answers to all the situations for my vote(s)...

Does it matter? The questions are relevant in my opinion due to how these issues affect the game. They are specific because CSM8 needs to be direct on these issues.

Sir after our chat you definitely have my vote.

What is your stance on AFK skill training?

To test your paranoia level, could you come up with two big (possible) mistakes made by CCP that would require CSM involvement? Of course, feel free to tell us what you would do if called upon to help stop the bleeding.

I would say I hate to nit pick but well everyone knows me

You do remember that this is your campaign thread? In which you are trying to get elected to the CSM, where you will speak for all the players.

Hey Nathan,

i have a really important question that needs to be answered so i can be reassured i found the right candidate for the next csm vote.

Do you come back and collect your secure container you forgot in our wh? I would be really dissappointed because a future csm member wouldn't leave his garbage behind, right?

fly safe (next time maybe with less containers)

I had a fun chat with the other wormhole candidates this weekend. The Pre-Election has been delayed, and as a result we had a bit more time to do some collaboration. I kicked things off, and after a few evemails we all spat in our hands and shook on an agreement. Each candidate only needs 200 votes in the pre-election. Any votes above and beyond this are just cake, but if youGÇÖre short those 200, you may fail to be listed on the final ballot. There will be no public count as the votes come in, but we were told that Xhagen would let us know when we passed the threshold.

Therefore, as soon as I hit 200, IGÇÖll be calling for anyone who was goign to give me their pre-election vote to pass it on to another WH candidate. In particular, Ayeson and I have mutually endorsed each other. After that, Chitsa, Cipreh, and Nathan round out the Wormhole 5. This may skew the GÇ£front-runnerGÇ¥ count when the pre-election results are posted, but itGÇÖs more important to keep all our cards in play. The wormhole candidate field is very strong this year, and I think it speaks volumes that weGÇÖll happily kill each other in game, but weGÇÖre all in agreement that when it comes to the CSM we need to work together to get the best odds of winning a seat for wormhole space.

The Pre-Election should be going live any hour now on the CSM website, so go out and get your vote in!

Glad to see you are more open to improvement and content additions in WH space, per your CSM pre-election snippet :)

Greetings,

You have met the 200 vote endorsement thresh-hold in the CSM8 pre-election. You will be included in the full election ballot.

Best Regards,

CCP Dolan

I think that link is broken Nathan but I do indeed endorse this WH candidate

So long as it is for members of the Wormhole 5.

If elected will you:

1. Leave Jita

2.Clean up the "Vote Nathan Jameson for CSM 8!" cans from everyone's homesystems?

I consider both of these very important in determining whether I will have to reduce my ballot to a "WH 4".

Well here is hoping.

It would be nice if extremely unlikely that all 5 WH candidates get elected.

Sorry had to comment, your thread looked like it needed someone else to speak

Jita Park is quieter this year than it has been in any other election than I can remember.

There is about the normal amount on GD, so hopefully CSM 7 have not driven too many people away.

Before the polls close
How do you feel about the new STV voting system?
Do you understand it?
How do you feel about fact we can only identify 2 members of CSM7 who supported it?
Do you want it removed for a better or simpler system, while voting numbers are so low?
