What is your platform and how it affects our way of life? (in w-space)

Talocan's vaunted communication skills in action!

Hey Kainotomiu,

Communication takes many different forms, from public speaking to interpersonal communication to forum posts to blogs. My specific experience lies in the realm of drafting reference guides and protocols in a form that should make sense to the casual reader. Simplifying for the common denominator, in other words. This is why I linked the website; I wrote everything on it that's not attributed to someone else.

The blog I'm creating for a similar purpose. It is not so much for daily musings as for organized treatises and theses that interested parties can refer to. For example, I'll have a page on what I feel are the most critical issues in wormhole space (none of which should come as a surprise) and another perhaps for new content I'd like to see, such as random Sleeper triggers. This way, I can go back and edit and further refine on the same page.

For those not subject to my innumerable alliance mails and forum posts, I'll be connecting through other avenues of media. I'm already scheduled to be on Eve Uni's upcoming Wormhole Roundtable, for example (though not as one of the main speakers) and I intend to also speak on EveRadio once details have been sorted. I'd also like to offer an open question and answer session, much like the one I hosted for Two Step when he was running for CSM last year. Beyond this, it will need to be consistent and regular communication to simply prove what I stated.

Does this address your question adequately, or is there something else you'd like me to clear up?

Well that's cause you got boobs.

My newest post further explains my platform, along with the relationship between a memorable position and the role of the CSM.

..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.

Beware the candidate who tells you about how much experience he has in this game, or how much he knows about it. Beware the candidate who tells you how hard he'll work, or how well he gets along with others, or that he's still forming his opinions on the issues, or that he can believe two contradictory things at the same time. Those are the candidates who are telling you everything in the world except what they'll actually do if you send them to the CSM.

The problem with the blank slate candidate is that you never really know what you're voting for. Even when they do offer you a few bullet points here or there about what they supposedly believe, you can't trust it. If a candidate is willing to manipulate voters by hiding his views, he'll be just as willing to manipulate the voters by misrepresenting his views. [source]

Can't be influential without making a few enemies.

We've already thrown-down in game, so I have no need to start another war on the forums. Thanks for your input, Rover. I noticed you are getting more eloquent and diplomatic in your posts lately. Honest compliment.

What is your opinion of an alliance leader that is never on comms?

Open hostilities should be possible in high sec, but there should be a few more hoops to jump through than simply turning off your weapon safeties. Whether it is through a formalized note of aggression (currently a "wardec"), or losing your ship and sec status to drive home a point, consequences should be higher.
