Hi, I'm a candidate to CSM 8.
This is a resume of my official candidacy post. For more details read the complete post here .
Disclaimer: The first thing I want to make clear - IGÇÖm a Non-bloc Candidate, IGÇÖm running as an independent, so please donGÇÖt dismiss me due to my alliance affiliation. I bring experience and valid proposals to the table, read me out and make your own mind about my candidacy based on what I have to say and propose.
About Me
I live in Portugal and IGÇÖm a Software Developer. In Eve, IGÇÖm in Eternity INC. that is one of GSF Member corps. I've been playing EVE for 4 years and have done everything in this game. I started in empire, played solo for 1 year and was about to quit when a director from Portuguese 0.0 corp found me and took me in. They helped me learn about everything regarding to PvE and PvP. Later I moved to Eternity, they introduced me the wonderful world of Industry and Capitals PvP.
Experience and Knowledge
In each election cycle, candidates see the CSM as a political office and will promise you the stars, but every year nothing is delivered. Why? Because the CSM is not about game design nor the Product Owner of Eve. CSM is a Stakeholder, they are the ones who have desires, needs and wants about Eve.
While the Stakeholders are the most important source of validation for the project, the most important person on the Scrum Team is the Product Owner. The Product Owner works with the Stakeholders, represents their interests to the developers Team. Understanding this is very important to be able to perform the role of a CSM member. I develop software for 12 years, 5 following scrum methodology. I have the experience, I understand how CCP works as a business, I know what are the boundaries the CSM has and its role in the development cycles of Eve.
My Platform
The CSM members aren't game designers, but that doesn't mean we have no solutions for problems this game faces. I personally have a lot of them, what will come in handy, because another role asked from the CSM is to be a soundboard for feedback and ideas. I will grab those moments to push my platform ideas and my constituent player base wishes.
I will not lie to you, IGÇÖm not everybodyGÇÖs candidate. If I get elected I will not advocate the interests of all EVE players. That is an impossible task because everyoneGÇÖs interests are often in opposition to each other. I will focus and narrow down my effort to particular issues and areas of game play I describe below. But donGÇÖt worry I will not hinder other people and their opinions, I will just follow a simple rule, GÇ£donGÇÖt talk about issues I donGÇÖt know nothing aboutGÇ¥.
My platform issues and experience:
- Planet Interaction
- Invention
- Ship Manufacturing
- T2 Production
- Moon Mining and Reactions
- POSes
- Sovereignty Warfare and 0.0
I have 3 years experience on those areas of the game play, I know about their problems, I know what needs a fix first. I will push these issues in the CSM and with CCP. I will make detailed posts about each one of them in my blog in the next weeks. I consider myself an expert on these game play areas.
If you live of PI, Moon Mining and reactions, if you set up an invention POS and live of research and T2 invention, if you manufacture something: IGÇÖm the perfect candidate for you to vote for, I know and share your problems. I will fight for you, I will fight for us and our common interests!
Now, that doesn't mean I donGÇÖt have a say on other issues like PVE, PVP, low or high sec, I have, I do PVP, I did PVE, I use low and high sec for many of my industrial activities, but I will put my platform issues first and will do my best to motivate other people to focus on them, to keep them in the CSM agenda and to to prioritize them above other issues. Remember that CSM and CCP cannot focus in every problem and issue at the same time, and this is where I come in, my experience and knowledge will be important and determinant to move the agenda of this platform forward.
By now some candidates are shaking their heads and saying NO ! but they do not understand that the reason why CCP elects 14 Players to the CSM is because each person brings specific experiences and defends different platforms, and it is the sum of all its members that make the CSM a true and complete representation body of the Eve community. Anyone saying it will defend all sides and issues of this game impartially and represent ALL the players is fooling themselves and trying to fool you. If that was true and possible, CCP will not need 14 people, they would just elect 1 of us.
Communication
My real life work and experience made me a good communicator. I have the experience and the maturity needed to perform the Job required of Member of CSM and to communicate with CCP on a daily basis, to focus, to keep a constructive and ongoing conversation, to negotiate and be persuasive when needed.
Communication with the community is also an important task and something that needs to improve. We need more, we need an official CSM website with an official CSM blog, where we speak as One. We need to be able to make posts and pools, independent of the Jita park and CCP forum rules, scrutiny and control.
Final Words
The CSM has become a powerful tool of player advocacy. The CSM has a power never held before. It can accomplish great things in the future but only if the correct people are voted in. As someone said, with great power comes great responsibility! We need responsible, knowledgeable, mature and experienced people in the CSM. IGÇÖm the man for the job.
Vote for me.
I need you.
I look forward for your feedback.

Anything ca work with chili, so long as you mix the proper ratio of cheeses, can't have chili without cheese, and nothing is better than venison in a cheddar blanket. |

From my understanding you are making 2 questions; what I think of carebears? what is my position on high sec?
1 - I'm neutral about carebears. In my opinion every person plays this game like they want. To be honest, we have more carebears living in null sec than the ones I've seen when I lived in high sec, so their natural habit is New Eden! Each person plays this game the way they like and makes them happy, that is what makes Eve a sandbox.
You are probably looking to my alliance name and thinking that I'm a goon so I'm trying to force people to play in a specific way, you would be surprised how many carebears are in GSF and how many only login casually to have some fun and log out after...
2- High sec is not bad, I will not advocate any nerf if that is what you are thinking. If people say that null or low sec are bad, the solution is not to nerf high sec to make the other areas became good, the solution is to buff the other areas to become better than high sec is. High sec should be looked as the standard and we should build the other areas using high sec as a start point.
About high sec but having in mind my industrial platform point of view, hauling needs love (as in any area of space, its not exclusive to high sec). I expect that the tiercide initiative fixes the industrial ships in the same way they fixed mining ships to equilibrate the relation between the gankers and their "friends". read my position on hauling:
http://thelazypilot.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/hauling-development-stagnation/
Many other industrial activities need love but all of them are transversal to all areas of space not only high sec: I want CCP to fix industry by revamping invention and manufacturing, I want a new industry UI window / tabs, I want less clicks, I want more queues, I want the moon mining problem fixed in a way that CCP removes it from the hands of alliances and puts it the hands of the players (I will explain how this in a post soon) and above all I want POSES fixed.
About specifics on my industrial position I'm preparing a dozen of posts were I will explain the problems and lay out some solutions to fix industry in new Eden. Follow my blog and soon I will post my positions in more detail, I already started...
http://thelazypilot.wordpress.com/
Hope I clarify my positions on your concerns.

I read that. I take issue with a basic assumption: that "difficulty" equates to skillpoints required. Skillpoint requirements are a good gating system; they stop initial content being obseleted too quickly, for instance. But actual difficulty should come through improved gameplay. All you're asking for in your blog is to be able to train some more skills on your 6th and 7th alts, the opportunity cost of which won't even touch you, to make more ISK.

Sofia Wolf wrote:You say you have interest in capital warafere. What is your position on power projection and capital blobs?
First point I'm a industrialist, so 90% of my platform is about industry. I did wrote in the end of my platform list of issues that I also have interest about Sovereignty Warfare and 0.0 because I live there. I never said I have an interest in capital warfare. Sovereignty Warfare and 0.0 has large scope than just capitals or blobs.
My biggest concerns about Sovereignty Warfare and 0.0 are the structure grinding, the lack of reasons for people to shoot each other, the fact that people holds space that does not use, the problem of moons being in the hands of alliances instead of the pilots and finally the lack of content for small gangs or small alliances to do and disrupt bigger alliances.
But I will try to respond to your questions and clarify my position on the subjects you raised.
About the blobs nobody can do nothing to prevent them, its human nature for people to group up and fight together, there is nothing CCP can ever do to avoid people to group up and blob somebody.
About the capitals, we have 2 types, supers and lets called it "standard" ones.
Since titans and supers were nerfed, you have notice that they barely leave their poses, they are huge dead ships with no use other than shoot at stations or TCUs. You can not use them without 1 or 2 full support fleets and even so they die, we lost 3 titans a couple of weeks ago and we had 700 men support fleet, they are useless now. Supers have no use in the field of battle anymore, they will make any difference in any future war.
So supers is not a issue anymore nor a blob of supers.
About the blob of capitals (dreads and carriers). These capitals are at the price range and skill training range of most if not all the 0.0 residents that want to fly one, so there is no injustice of disparities saying that this of that alliance has an advantage because it has more isk than others, nerfing capitals will just hurt everyone, since everybody has them in 0.0 and will not solve the problem nor the blob use of them, because like I said, is human nature to group together and cannot ever be avoided.
So in resume, in my opinion capitals use can not be avoid, its use is so much widespread that any nerf will cause a cry so loud that we could have another summer of rage do deal with. About the blob of capitals, since we can not touch capitals nor avoid blobs there is nothing we can do to avoid them directly, but there is something we can do indirectly!
Now what we can do and solve is the capital projection problem. Forget the blob, forget the capitals, we solve the capital projection problem and we reduce the capitals use and the blob to a non problem since you cannot project your force anymore.
I'm in favor of capital projection review and I think is a problem and CCP should look at it. My opinion is that capital projection should be solved not by nerfing range, because that will just make people to jump more times to reach a destiny, but by creating a delay between jumps. If it takes 1 hour to reach the other side of eve and another to come back people will think 10 times before commit to this trip and projecting any type of force in other places other than is area of residence.
Hope it clarifies my position and answers to your questions.

Hello Malcanis, how are you. Pleasure to talk to you for the first time.
You found my thread and my blog. Good, I'm having problems with twitter and I was getting worried that my tweets with the post links weren't getting out.
There is a specific question you want to ask or you just want me to comment your opinion about my blog post?
Anyway, let me talk a little bit about that post content and the reasons behind it.
That post idea is simple, there are many PI industrialists out there, like me, that created and pay for accounts just to do PI. These alts are called Planet industrialists.
I choose to follow this path and this specialization, it's an option. In not doing PvP in these accounts and just train 10 days of PI on the side to make some money and continue with the PvP training in the next week. They only do PI, they only train PI skills!
These are specialized alts that only do PI and specialization is a good thing in EVE, CCP supports it, I supported it, and must be rewarded!
Eve is a game of specification, not a train all do all game. You specialize in something, you do your part in the sandbox by performing a specific profession.
In Eve specialization is only achieved thought skills, so I propose more skills. An planetary Industrialist must have a reward by specializing in PI and not doing or training anything else. And I'm not proposing a game breaking thing, if you check the numbers I propose, that is a 5-10% improvement over people that does not specialize.
If you read CCP interviews and Dev blogs in the last 2 years, CCP says all the time that the game has many specializations and people should specialize. To do that CCP has to give perks to people to specialize or I would ask myself the question, "If I specialize and the guy next to me doesn't, if we have the same end results, where is the specialization and so why bother?"
Now, about improved game play in PI, I'm preparing a post for this weekend (it was suppose to be for tomorrow, but I'm sick with the flu and I'm in bed) were I will talk about the PI problems. This post your refer to is just ONE solution for ONE of the many PI problems -> the lack of specialization options and rewards for PI Industrialists! There are many other problems and I will not post a solution for all of them, for many I can only point the problems I don't have a solution. I'm counting on the Eve Game Designers to find them, that is why they are there, the CSM main job is point to the problems.
When and if I ever get into the CSM I will tell CCP just that, this is a problem in PI (the lack of specialization path) that I would like to see solved. I will not propose a solution since Its not my place. I'm not and CSM members are not Game Designers!
I will wait to see their answer(s) to solve the problem I reported and we start the discussion from that point forward and try to find a solution for this issue.
Now if for some reason, CCP just asks me, "what is your idea to solve the problem you just raised", them I will give them this link: http://thelazypilot.wordpress.com/2013/02/20/this-will-never-happen/
On a side note, I'm an industrialist, what motivates me is the will to build things, to see and end result of something that I created and the ISK it makes me when I sell it to others. So more ISK is good for any industrialist and any industrialist that specializes should be rewarded for that commitment. I'm not taking about creating a game imbalance, but just a little more to differentiate from someone that is not specialized.
