Considering your state of having been shitcanned from TEST on two occasions, Arguably the worst alliance in EVE AND probably the easiest nullsec alliance to get into, what can you provide to CCP, the CSM, and the greater Eve Playerbase that couldn't be done by a monkey with diahrrea and an itchy trigger finger?

Show your (real) self fool.

I get a sense of deceit and trolling when some nub day old alt claims they are planning to be a candidate for CSM. A role where someone with reasoning and experience is needed to look after the player base interests without any bias.

Show your (real) self fool.

If elected, will you be trying influence CCP to get breasts for male avatars?

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.

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".

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.

answered to the effect that the CSM is not about people saying "I want this! Elect me!"

My stances are centered around risk vs reward and the overarching principle that the mechanics behind reward need attention.

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.

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.

*is still waiting for an answer to his question, in the very second post on this thread*

Oh come on, lighten up. That's not why everyone's coming to this thread and you know it.

Don't dodge the question, Xeen! 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?
