What is your position on stew?

This is important.

i do not endorse you.

Specifically, can venison and chili work together?

Good interview. I think you clearly represent the Industrialists in EVE, you get my vote!

What is your position on stew?

This is important.

What is your position on carebears and casual players?

I'm interested in carebear conservation... and preservation of their natural habitats (high-sec)

IGÇÖm debuting a new column in my blog called GÇ£This Will Never HappenGÇ¥ that will be published every Wednesdays.

Check it out: http://thelazypilot.wordpress.com/2013/02/20/this-will-never-happen/

You say you have interest in capital warafere. What is your position on power projection and capital blobs?

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.

Hello there!

Thank you for your responses! I hope you will spend some time thinking on logi and rethink your position in the future but I am glad to see you have been thinking about the other issues.

Just a note tho I don't often click on links that go outside of forum so could your post the relevant bits of your wordpress blog here please?

You know what "the pivot" concept is? Let me make a demonstration.

I can promise you that if I take a seat in CSM 8 I will think about your concerns about AFK skill training and if I find it to be a problem I will talk about it with the remaining CSM members, but above all I will talk to them about the Industry problems like PI, moon mining, reactions, inventions, POSes, T2 invention and manufacturing. I will defend our common interests on these areas. I will use my Real Life work experience to help the CSM communicate and persuade the Product Owner of EVE Online to focus development in solving these problems, making improvements.

See, it was easy. 10 years of marriage does that to you, with time you start doing it without even making an effort.

You got one of my votes.

You should rethink your position regarding logistics between null and empire being too easy. It's the main driver to almost zero industry in nullsec. Why build in nullsec if you can haul everything in from empire, faster, cheaper and with less effort? ;)

Think about it!

Also ... Portugal!

Nullsec doesn't have the capacity to even build it's own ammunition, let alone ships, modules, sov structures etc etc.

There are 5 systems in Caldari hi-sec that have 13% more naufacturing slots than the whole of sov null combined.

Cutting off the logistics capability before this issue is thoroughly addressed will simply cut nullsec's throat.

I never made such suggestion! :) In fact, if you look up some of my posts (too lazy to find the links), you'll see I'm all about increasing the capacity and efficiency of nullsec industry and nerfing / taxing NPC industry. One can't exist without the other ... or a very big POS change that tips the balance ;)

...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!...

At this time I would like to ask the candidates to think carefully about any endorsements that they give.

By putting other candidates on your ballot you are effectively giving them any excess votes you may have if you become elected or all of your votes if you are knocked out of the election.

So the choice of who you endorse and in what order you endorse them on your proposed ballot is very important.

Remember that these people are voting for you and a lot of people will rely on your proposed ballot.

I have a quick question, which I hope you do not think is rude, because that is by no means the intention of it.

As you are through to the next round, where we have to select a number of candidates based on our order of preference, I was wondering if you could clarify the following for me:

You stated that you are a non-bloc candidate, and I realise you are running as an independent, however, you are a member of Goonswarm Federation, and as such, have the potential to be included on their bloc listing.

I intend to vote so that the non-bloc candidates which I support have the highest listings on my preferences (In all honesty, there are not many industrial candidates, so you will be fairly near the top either way), so I was wondering if you could let us know whether you are aware if you are on the bloc-voting list. I know there are many many null focused candidates, so it could be that you are way down their listing due to your lower focus on PvP/Sov.

I apologize for the crappy way in which I am phrasing this question, but, basically, I want to ensure that my votes are as useful as possible, and if you are already a shoe-in, then whilst I will still have you fairly high on my list, I would prefer my first few place votes to go to others, so that we get the most versatile CSM possible.

This sounds like I am not going to vote for you, that is not the case, I very much like your platform, but want to ensure the other indy or new player or whatever non-pvp/SOV candidates get a decent look-in.

God I suck at posting.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Madeline

Ignore Industrialists: In an alliance or corporation, industrialists are completely irrelevant and should never be allowed a voice in anything. Sound extreme? It isnGÇÖt. An industrialist is not a logistician, but a GÇÿproducerGÇÖ. Producers live in hisec in countless numbers, and anything that is built there can simply be imported from Jita with a jump freighter - by a logistician. Logisticians matter in alliances; so do financiers, diplomats, and most of all warriors. Producers do not. There has never been a war in the history of EVE which was won by an advantage in local production; the hobbits of ASCN believed their own propaganda and assured each other that production mattered, but they were crushed utterly by Band of Brothers. Take after the words of House Greyjoy: GÇÿWe Do Not SowGÇÖ. Be particularly wary of capital/supercapital producers, who are often wealthy and consider themselves to be above alliance rules. Alliances have no need of GÇÿindustrial wingsGÇÖ, GÇÿindustrial directorsGÇÖ - none of it.

I don't have access or talk with leadership of my alliance. Any information I have is by talking with one of my corp directors, he is my point of contact when I have questions. I only talk with him 3 times about my candidacy, one was when I decided to run, I didn't want to cause a problem to my corp so I ask them if it was ok, if the alliance will not create them problems.

... and The Mittani hates industrialists, he even post that 2 days ago:
...

I run as an independent, my alliance doesn't support me. My platform is industry, my love is industry, I want the best for all. I want to fight and defend industry in the CSM, I don't care if it is high-sec, low-sec or null-sec.

Man, I know sov null-sec is serious spaceship biz, but I'd be f-ing leaving if I got devalued like that. Don't know why you put up with it.

Either way, industrialists *do* matter, they should have a voice, and I'm putting you somewhere in my top 2-5.

Please don't take conclusions about things I didn't said or implied.

In any large organization there is an hierarchy / chain of command.

My apologies, looks like I didn't quote the right part. I'm more concerned with how industry players don't matter to them.

You're on my slate, though lower than you would have been had it not been for the major null-sec voting plan.

industry players don't matter to them.

How do you feel about highsec freighter kamikazee/suicide ganks? This is a very important issue.

In the arms race between the ganker and those who are ganked, the large gunned short range battlecruiser currently has the upper hand over the T1 freighter.
