To all those that don't have an interview scheduled ... a big **** you to you all. Seriously, if you can't be bothered to get out there to communicate your ideas and platform in a non-textual format and beyond the EVE-O forums, then you are obviously going to be a lame duck candidate on the CSM.

I'd like to commend Xander on an excellent interview. He came to it informed and prepared, asked tough but fair questions, and did an overall terrific job. He's probably the best interviewer on EVE topics that I've encountered so far.
Well done! Jester's Trek: wherein I ramble about EVE Online, gaming, and from time to time... life. |

While most of the CSM8 interviews have been great, Xander came into this one with preconceptions about James' platform that made the whole interview seem as if Xander was more focused on portraying James as a troll or a nutcase than on examining and understanding James' viewpoints and platform.
Does James hate highsec? No. Has James stated that he does not hate highsec many times, both on minerbumping.com and during Xander's interview? Yes. Does Xander still stick to preconceived notions about James? Yeeeah. This is characteristic of the whole interview and that disappointed me a bit.

Couple of things. Firstly, the tongue was firmly in cheek when I wrote that one-liner at midnight last night as a very mini intro to James' interview. Secondly, are you an alt of Poe? You have virtually word-for-word C&Ped what he said to me on twitter earlier today :)
Look, go to James' blog (minerbumping.com) and have a look around. Take a good hard look at the likes of the About page. Did I have preconceptions of what James was based on the research I had done on him? You're damned right I did. And it would appear an awful lot of others felt the same way from the emails I received regarding James 315 before I did this interview. As for him not stating he hates highsec? Well he says he doesn't but all of his actions state otherwise. For me, actions speak louder than words.
I'm sorry you (and Poe) didn't enjoy the interview. What makes me pleased is the vast majority of people, including James himself and the rest of the NWO camp, appear to have appreciated the tough questioning which allowed James to clear the air regarding the troll thing and his platform. You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time I guess. www.crossingzebras.com |

I can agree that actions speak louder than words, but none of James' actions show that he hates highsec - rather they show that he hates the ISK-for-nothing, entitled attitude of carebears and themeparkers in highsec. If we define highsec as a place for that attitude and those people, then I guess James does hate highsec. Personally I don't think that anywhere in EVE is a suitable place for them.

It's just that in this one case I felt that you were a little too unwilling to even try to accept James' ideas, which made it more difficult to actually discuss them.

I think the fact that he was able to answer so well despite my very tough questioning actually paints him in an even stronger light than had I went easier on him. I'm guessing that's why he is so pleased with how it went in the end.

I fixed an unfortunate typo for you.
That said, I have to agree with Kainotomiu in that there was an obvious and apparent bias against James. One of the fun things about the New Order is the amount of satire used at almost every level of it, and it appears that you may have missed out on some or all of it during your research period. Pointing out that, right now, the amount of protections afforded by HighSec can annoy even self-proclaimed carebears who can do little to rectify annoyances they encounter and pointing out the imbalances present throughout the game isn't really a hating platform.
The interview wasn't bad, but I think it could have been better served by pressing him on some of his methods and clarifying his positions, rather than pressing him on if he's a troll or not. A fair number of people do miss out on how the satire of the Order works on a daily basis, and digging into that may have helped some people understand his position more clearly. 315 4 CSM 8 |

Now that we know he's serious (thank you Xander, great work on the interview!) I think it's safe to vote for the guy. James 315 did a great job representing himself and his platform. If you're not already part of a bloc, this is the best guy for CSM8. |

I could have perhaps pushed him more on his platform and his positions but to be honest, I don't know how much more information I could have got from him. He went into his platform in a LOT of detail - far more than I (or anyone else I'd imagine) would have expected.
One man's satire is another man's troll. The line is very fine and often comes down to personal perspective. I don't apologise for clarifying his position here. It seems like people like Karl above were unsure and now they are actually going to vote for him. From James' perspective, mission accomplished. www.crossingzebras.com |

PS: Xander, you were bias against James, on the other candidates interviews you weren't like that at all. Do you have a afk highsec mining alt?
lol, no I do not. I have to say that by the end of the interview, I was very impressed with a lot of the ideas James315 put across. I think he is a perhaps a little too extreme in some of his concepts but I certainly understand where he is coming from. www.crossingzebras.com |

I honestly lol'd when you abruptly asked, "Are you a troll candidate?"

I like your interviews, I think asking tough questions is important. I would have liked to see you remain neutral for the James 315 interview. The attitude at the beginning was dismissive rather than inquisitive. Terms like "hater" and "troll" made your subjective opinion of your interviewee very clear. Those are nothing short of insults, it would be like asking a candidate "Are you stupid?"
I prefer interviews that demonstrate to the audience what the interviewee thinks, not what the interviewer thinks. That said, please keep doing what you are doing. The interviews are great fun to listen to. James 315-á-áis the only pro-sandbox candidate running for CSM 8. Resist the theme-park invasion from dying MMOs like WoW! Keep the only sandbox MMO alive! Vote 315 4 CSM8!!! |

It's perfectly fine that James 315 got to you a little. I've seen the Holy Spreadsheet, you're in good company!
