Show your (real) self fool.
My "Real" Self?
My name is Aaron Bongart and I am a Psychology Grad Student with a heavy focus on Gender and Sexuality Studies. I get a natural euphoric high from learning new things that interest me. I am very patient and easy to get along with. People who know me in the real world have had very diverse interpretations of me as a person. When I was younger I was told by a few people that I had a "mystical" quality about me (whatever that means) and as I got older and more social my peers characterized me as being methodical and charismatic.
I guess the best way to articulate who I "really" am "depends on whose looking". CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

I think the current CSM will agree with me when I say that it is not the responsibility of the CSM to play "Jr. Developer". As a member of the CSM you job is to act as a membrane between the players and the developers. Something that offers input and constructive criticism when appropriate. If I am elected to the CSM I will do my best to put my desires and wants aside and focus on what is best for EVE. The CSM arguably has more power now than it ever has and because of this CCP is sharing a great deal more with the CSM. It is important that the CSM is full of people who have the time, energy and resources to contribute.

Did you seriously just answer with "I have no stances and will give you people whatever you want"? Pandering ftw.
The question was not about what my stances are. The question was if I was going to push for breasts on male avatars. I answered to the effect that the CSM is not about people saying "I want this! Elect me!". It's about the ability to communicate and work with people more than anything else. If you lack the skills to work with others and communicate effectively then it won't really matter what you think is a good idea or not. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

I think the current CSM will agree with me when I say that it is not the responsibility of the CSM to play "Jr. Developer". As a member of the CSM you job is to act as a membrane between the players and the developers. This prospective CSM member strongly disagrees. Whilst I'm not running for the post of "Jr. Developer" I certainly see it as my role to represent & promote a perspective on and a philosophy of the game. Anyone who votes for me is surely absolutely confident of what voice they're putting forward to speak with CCP.
A fair point, In truth if I was not running I would be backing you as a candidate. The reality of the situation is you are going to get the votes you need regardless. I will have to really put in work to get the vote out for my campaign. My stances are centered around risk vs reward and the overarching principle that the mechanics behind reward need attention. However this is not the core and singular purpose behind my campaign. I am running because I feel I can be effective not because I have a personal agenda to push.

So what you're saying is you'll use big words in attempts to confuse the masses and hope for the vote of the carebears? I don't get it.
I don't think I used any big words. Which of the words in that post are you having trouble with? CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

They're eating you alive already. Trying to be political here is suicide, just stand up and tell us the truth - you would love for CCP to add female breasts on male avatars, right? I mean who wouldn't?? Be yourself and you'll build a constituency - cater to the masses here, and they'll bury you.
I honestly and truly feel that the mechanics behind how players are rewarded for their actions need attention. I have a number of ideas on how the game experience can be improved upon but I also feel like using those ideas or concept as the central point of my campaign is ill advised. If somebody asks a specific question about something I will answer it but I am not going to make this thread or my campaign about what I would do if I could shape the game at a core level.

Than you better get a new advisor, your current one will cost you a CSM seat. This stuff is important - no successful candidate has ever run without sharing their ideas about how the game should be improved, even Darius III had more than this for voters to go off of. What makes you think you are the first candidate in history that does not need to tell people these things? What do you have to offer instead?
Maybe you haven't been paying attention, I have a sound cloud and a youtube channel with my CSM 8 content. I have already made quite a few threads detailing my different stances on various mechanics. With that said I will take the time when I have the chance to put a rough outline of all my ideas in the OP. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

Well I would but every time we do you just lie more so theres no actual real point in rehashing what you've already lied about in the past, seeing as you lied, we called you out on it, and you just lied more. You know very well what I'm talking about, but I'm trying not to bring it all up so that your CSM thread from this year doesn't get locked like the last one you had up. I'm giving you a very clear chance to simply answer a few questions without embarrassing yourself, its your choice on what path you take here. You've told some fairly significant lies, I'm giving you the chance to either explain why, recant, or just blow it off and let that stand as part of your platform and do whatever damage it may to your campaign. Your call sport. EDIT: And the unstable thing just goes with the habitual lying.
In all seriousness I am not sure what your angle is. You might be trolling but you also might actually believe what you are saying. Your post basically consists of non-specific accusations and baseless attacks on what you perceive to be a history of subterfuge. i am sorry that I can't really address your concerns if you are not specific in what you are actually talking about. If you would prefer to send me a private eve mail then I can answer that way.

Ok well, that answers my questions as to your ability to answer simple questions about your compulsion for lying. I assume that you won't mind me airing all of your lies during the campaign. Sorry about the election, better luck next year.

Well thats a nice approach for somebody seeking public office, even if just in a game, I come with serious concerns about a consistent behavior pattern on your part and a simple set of questions and the most you can do is call me names. You definitely seem electable.

In the rare event that I missed or overlooked these "4 questions" I am sorry. When I first responded to you it was because you were making very vague and non-specific accusations and jabs. As I said before, if you actually have some questions then please ask them either here or via eve mail.

These appear to be the 4 questions. I will reiterate that it's difficult to answer any of these without some sort of context. I already asked you to be specific as to what you were talking about (so that I could then answer your questions) and you responded to said request by accusing me of being unable or unwilling to answer your questions.

Like I said to dissenters in my own candidacy thread, evidence or GTFO.
Normally I'd agree with you, but as I'm still tabulating all the logs into one easy pile (some of which I've already actually gone over with Xenuria in the past, and even though several thousand people have called him on the lies he's told he insists its the truth, which makes him either a liar or somebody who can't properly grasp reality) so that I won't have to go over this again and again you'll excuse me if I step outside of the realm of normal. I was giving him a chance to just say "Yes, I made up (lied) about these things here, it was in the spirit of the game and I realize that these things I've said and done aren't actually real". Only he didn't do any of that. He's chosen to play word hockey, so I'm going to put him in the penalty box. Assuming he decides he wants to come clean before I get this all made up and just do his own laundry I won't have to do it for him in a more painful manner.
This is going to be good.
You tell me I have the opportunity to come clean about..... "something" but you once again neglect to make clear what that is exactly. I am trying to take you seriously but every time you respond to me you appear more and more like a troll. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

I am trying to take you seriously So why wait until I point out the specific things that I have dirt on, why not just come clean? Why do you need my list first, you obviously know that there are things that you should probably do that on, and yet while running for office instead of just doing it you're waiting for a specific list. I'm waiting on 2 logs. Then you'll have your list :) Though I'm not sure how happy that will make you after you get it. Remember Xenuria, some people keep chat logs for a very, very long time.
I really don't know what you expect me to say in response to that. You are being deliberately evasive and vague about my "coming clean". If you are a troll then congrats 9/10, but if you are serious and actually believe you have some campaign ruining bombshell that you are planning to drop on me; then I am genuinely curious. I have seen some pretty whacky stuff cooked up by SA and goons. Everything from Chat logs to poorly shooped images of me and oh goodness the spam emails. They must have signed up my email for every service they could find. They sure showed me lol....
Anyway, if you do actually have something that you think is incriminating or otherwise significantly detrimental to my CSM campaign then I would advise you to verify it before posting it. In the long run this will save you alot of embarrassment. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

Ok, fine...
I was invited to join TEST under the pretense that I troll and rustle as many jimmies as possible. When I got into the mumble the channel went from having maybe 30 people in it to several hundred. I told everybody I was a super secret internet super hero and that I worked with Chris Hansen. The only thing I linked in mumble was the IP and port number for a mumble server that some of my friends hang out on. I told everybody in the test mumble that if they had any interest in meeting seriously messed up people with a diverse set or proclivities that they should just join that mumble. It was some time after this that I claimed I was actually in fact from 9GAG and that 9gag was legion. I was banned almost immediately after that. I was then blacklisted from test and kicked out.
The second time I joined test it was under the pretense that I would be allowed to stay as long as I was tactful and diplomatic in my conversations, being careful to avoid being provocative in any way. This was going well for awhile, any antagonistic remarks or attempts at starting an argument were effortlessly defused by what I would call my "safe mode" social blueprint. I was planning on seeding the market where test was deployed because dirk said it would be a good way to prove my worth. Then seemingly out of nowhere I was kicked out. I am told montolio was behind this and when asked he made up some bs story about how a spy got director roles and kicked me out.
After that I went back to join the gallente militia and spend time with people that actually appreciated my hyper-vigilance and attention to detail. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

We posted it in his last CSM thread and they instantly locked it, we keep the post on standby just for days when he might raise his head.
For the record I am not "ok" with people being pedos. I do however understand them because I had to take a course called Abnormal psychology. In this class we learned about paraphillias like pedophilia as well as many other things. I also don't really see how this has anything to do with the CSM.

Yeah, the first time I was in test the whole point was to make people confused and unjustifiably upset. It was an elaborate troll. Hence the statement about working with chris hansen and being in the "9gag army", if the statement "9gag is legion" wasn't enough to cue you into the satirical nature of the encounter then nothing will.

POS those three letters bring nightmares to just about anyone having the misfortune of having to operate one. The solution in the long term is obviously modular POS. Yet CCP seems to be backpedaling on implementing this despite the MANY benefits. What is your stance on the possibility of a near term bandage of a form of player POS that is only designed to be the equilivant of a Secure Container for ships until modular POS is ready?
Here is the biggest problem I see with any measure of POD fixing. There is a difference between a conceptual idea of what would fix something and the actual "effort" and "work" that would need to go into making that happen, assuming it even CAN happen with the way the current foundation is at any point in time. More specifically, I am saying that I understand why CCP is hesitant to jump into what would be a very cold pool. If it were something really easy and point blank simple then they probably would have implemented it by now. I don't know what goes on behind the curtain so all I really can say is what I actually know to be true. In terms of a "near term" bandage, I think putting bandaids on problems often leads to overlooking the problem in the future ultimately resulting in it taking much longer for the root problem to be solved properly.
Overpowered passive cloaking. It is now to the point where people are now beyond AFK cloaking but running Twitch.tv streams of enemy stations and systems! Would you support balancing cloaking to punish those who go AFK (Eventually able to be scanned down for decloak) while maintaining the benefits to people actively cloaking (Remaining at their keyboard)
I think I am going to have to disagree with you on this one but that does not mean I am not completely open to alternative arguments. Cloaking by design is supposed to make you invisible and to that end, very hard to find. I feel like people using this game-play mechanic to do Recon and even take things as far as streaming the locations of enemy fleets or gatherings is natural. I would argue that this level of sneaky, intelligence gathering is part of the meta game that makes EVE Online persist into other areas of our lives even after we have closed the game client for the day. The saturation of streams and other forms of observation of ingame content is only going to draw MORE attention to EVE Online. This is a positive not a negative.
Lack of Ring Mining. Again with the CCP backpedaling despite the many benefits for nullsec and other areas for the game. What is your stand on the crap that is moon mining?
Honestly, I don't know a great deal about moon mining. I have seen people express discontent and frustration with the subject matter and if I were elected and nobody else on that CSM was paying attention too or focusing on moon mining, then at that point I would spend the time researching it inside and out so that I could cover the gap in representation.
The silly push by some in the community to end or delay "Local" or any effective means for those in a nullsec system to determine if a hostile or unknown is in system in them. This obviously needs no solution but I want your thoughts.
I think something with an effect as massive as altering the way local chat works is not to be played around with on a whim. CCP has access to a ridiculous amount of statistics and metrics with regards to how players interact with the game world. Without really knowing any of that right now, it's hard for me or ANYBODY to say with certainty what the long term effects of changing local would be.
The horrible state of missions in hisec. The solution in my opinion is a complete rewrite to allow for a more incursion like approach that rewards those who want to train up logistic frigs and cruisers or be a specific role in a fleet. Also providing a way for newer players to experience group play in EVE.
One of my primary focuses is Risk vs Reward and that no doubt extends to missions. There are many missions that are either out of date or configured in such a way that their difficulty is not proportional to their reward. Missions need attention for sure. I don't know about an incursion style but I do think a system should be implemented that rewards players based on more than what they are currently. Maybe, a mission has rats that don't need to be killed in order to finish it but killing said rats results in a slightly higher standing or lp or isk, etc. There are a multitude of ways in which missions could be made exponentially more diverse and unique even after doing the same one several times.
Incursion suckage. With the nerfs to Incursions fleets have slowed to a trickle and it was sad to see CCP willing to spend more development time nerfing entire expansions instead of doing what was right being making other aspects of EVE better. Modular POS and Ring mining need dev time sooner so I will admit this ought to be looked at later however I wanted to get your views on them and have this to be some context to the next aspect of Logi.
I actually support the so called nerf to incursions. In my opinion there was a huge isk faucet. CCP didn't nerf incursions simply because they felt like people were making to much isk. They actually have alot of data on their end that tells them when something is unstable or wonky.
Continued on next post.

Logi suckage. Logis do not have the tools to do their job. They need to be able to tell who is locked and taking damage and in large fleets the watchlist can't handle that leading to dependence on broadcasts that most of EVE seems to not know or refuse to use right. Look at any average HQ incursion fleet where people don't broadcast right stressing out logi or in fleet fights where following FCs orders makes it harder to broadcast properly. A solution is a logi only screen that is completely configurable to show who is taking the most DPS and who has the most locks in fleet.
I can't argue with you there. I could make the point that something like what you describe would be low priority compared to all the other stuff.
Logi Suckage #2 Reps don't get you on mails? Wut? Solution obviously is to have repping those in fleet land you on killmails generated from fleet.
I have to agree with you.

If you do happen to get in tho. I hope you will be very tough on CCP when it comes to POS and Moons. CCP continues to give half answers and other delaying actions when it comes to these badly needed changes in my opinion and I think part of that is due to how weak CSM 7 was. I didn't say that I support all incursion nerfs across the board, now did I? I only made the point that for CCP to nerf something at that level they always have a reason.
Your perception of how "overpowered" Afk Cloak Streaming is, is subjective and isn't entirely relevant to CCP. If CCP starts altering gameplay based solely on things that happen OUTSIDE of the eve client then we are all going to have a really bad time.
Let me give you an example.
Example: The player base develops a means to calculate the best possible amount of time to spend mining in a dangerous location and when to leave. This results in a portion of the player base making good isk for much lower RISK than the players that don't use this formula. Then somebody like you comes along as says that Mining is OVER POWERED, BECAUSE "some" people have found a OUT OF GAME means of reducing their risk and in turn having less risk for the same isk as other players in the similar situation.
According to your logic, CCP should NERF mining or alter it in a way to compensate for the portion of players that have somehow calculated the best amount of time to spend mining before switching to a different system. Think about that... That's some Blizzard bs right there. That kind of reasoning is why so many people are unsubscribing from world of warcraft and coming over to eve online. Nerfing a mechanic for the singular reason that players have found a way to be better at it without breaking the rules is BAD/Blizzard-esk, and it's worse when the way they are better at it doesn't even happen inside the game client. In this hypothetical it's some spreadsheet that tells them when on average they should leave a system to statistically lower the amount of loses they experience over time.

Nothing in eve is risk free. Your logic is broken. I refuted the central point of your argument and you countered by citing a falsehood. Personally, I don't want your vote. CSM 8 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

No specifics were given and I fear they never will be. Not to be offensive, but its probably for the best. You have made it clear in the past, both in opinions, attitude, and outright saying it, that you dont synergize well with people. you may have good ideas sometimes, but more often than not the way you present those ideas can come across as hostile, condescending, and rather forceful. From a realistic perspective, you would most likely have one of the lowest success chances on the CSM. You're the kinda of person who works better either alone or with absolute dominion over decisions and authority, which would make you a counter-productive addition to the CSM lineup (not that the crrent linep is necessarily overflowing with competence).
You are not entirely incorrect.
It is true that I am amazing when I work alone. It is also true that when I work in any environment with other people I typically initially assume a leadership role or a leadership role is assigned to me by my peers after a short period of time. This however does not mean I am incapable of working with others. My obsessive desire to benefit new eden will trump my narcissism every time.
I would not have run for CSM if I was not confident in my psychological stability and compatibility.
