James Arget Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 71	Posted - 2013.02.16 21:10:00 - [1] - Quote Greetings, capsuleers. I'm happy to let you all know that I'll be running for CSM8. It took a lot of time to make the decision and the process has had many parallels to when I started my current corporation, Future Corps. Both were ideas that I'd had for a long time and wanted to do, but was unwilling to commit to unless I knew I could do it right. FC is now two years old, in the hands of an excellent CEO, and doing better than ever. That leaves me free to give back to EVE in another way by serving on the CSM. To me, serving on the CSM comprises two main elements: Advocating for Wspace and teaching CCP about their own game. Advocating wspace is what it sounds like, ensuring that the interests of everyone who interacts with wspace are considered in game development. I consider this a primary element because there are usually only a few members of the CSM who have expertise in wspace. I feel a well balanced CSM has experts in all areas, and I can provide that knowledge for wspace. Teaching CCP their own game is a bit different. EVE, for the most part, embraces emergent gameplay. This can be truly fantastic because great depth can be added when things like combat refitting or firewall ships give new options in gameplay for little investment. The downside is that given such depth, it's hard for CCP to know how EVE is really being played, rather than how it's designed. I've spent quite a bit of time helping teach classes to EVE University and teaching is something I really enjoy, and that I feel will contribute to the CSM as a whole. Lastly, and encompassing both of these, the CSM isn't just a matter of pushing opinions and proposals. It's about working together with other players to help improve the game for the years to come. The views and experiences of all the CSM members come together to work toward improving them game, which is something I've been fortunate to experience in building up my own corporation. With your help, I'd like to do that for all of EVE.

What if they don't focus on wormholes? Do you have any qualifications to talk about highsec, lowsec or nullsec and add value there? From what I can tell Sleeper Social Club is a C5 or C6 alliance - do you have any experience that will help you represent a "little guy" corp in a C1-3? Also, do you have any specific ideas for wspace? What are your key issues with POS today? How do you feel about dread blapping? How do you feel about self-destructing inside a POS shield? What if anything would you change about the dynamics of wormholes? James Arget wrote: there are usually only a few members of the CSM who have expertise in wspace By my count, you're wormholer #6. What do you bring that they don't? James Arget wrote: it's hard for CCP to know how EVE is really being played, rather than how it's designed. Can you give what you consider an egregious example and what you might have suggested had you been on CSM at the time?

Hang on are you telling me that the level of risk if exactly the same when sd stuff in a pos force field to if that was not allowed and you had to sd stuff out side a pos force field (thats mostly bubbled and camped). Now i might be reading it wrong but, Having to go out side a pos force field to sd stuff means yoru probably going to be podded out which in wh space is a huge deal.

Thanks very much for having me on, it was a lot of fun. I've been doing a lot of work on my campaign stuff that's not yet published, and should be putting it out in the next few days. So, my apologies if you haven't had your questions answered, but thank you for asking, because I am listening, and I'm taking those questions to heart as I work to show you what James Arget is all about.

It isn't about risk, it's about motivation. Right now, there is little motivation for a group to come and siege another out of wspace, since there are few rewards. In practice, there is no way to destroy more than a handful of ships if they must be taken out of a force field first. Therefore, by disallowing self destruct inside a force field, we've turned someone's home into a loot pinata. Nullsec residents don't have to deal with this, since even if their home station is taken their assets belong to them however difficult they are to access. Wspace residents shouldn't have to deal with becoming a target because they own the ships they need to live in wspace. Also, if you are not recognized as the "owner" of the ship by being the last to pilot it, you receive no insurance. Any ship stored in a SMA is ineligible for insurance payouts.

James Arget Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 91	Posted - 2013.03.14 04:22:00 - [12] - Quote Vharas wrote: Post is a nice hello but how about some detail? Well put. Thanks for the "hello." I've taken part in just about every part of EVE, with wormholes being my strongest area, and nullsec being my weakest. I've certainly spent my share of time in highsec, and did a brief stint in FW as well as roaming around lowsec on a regular basis. I've built T2 and T3, done grunt work and corp management. I fly all races across my characters, and capitals too. I started off with wormholes by daytripping, then lived in C2 space, before moving into C5 space. A lot of the stuff that the CSM is going to have to work on isn't area specific though, or at least it's going to cover multiple areas at the same time. So even on Nullsec I think I'll be able to contribute to the discussion, and I've got a solid base for whatever the issue at hand is. There's a lot of great wormhole candidates this year, there's no doubt about that. I feel that I have a very good handle on how to work with other people to move an idea to implementation, and I'm an involved player who can convey that perspective to CCP. You're going to have trouble with making us sling mud at each other though, the hosts of Down the Pipe tried and it failed. So, the most obvious example of EVE being played differently than it was designed would be living in wspace at all. I've heard conflicting reports, but it's often cited that "CCP never intended people to live in wormhole space." This might not be entirely true, but it's been repeated without contradiction enough that it's pretty much canon at this point. Combat refitting is another fantastic example of this, and devs have made noises about not liking the implications. The job of the CSM would be to make sure that CCP only takes action if it's needed, because emergent gameplay is pretty fantastic to watch in action, and cutting it off prematurely is just raining on the parade. I do most of my work with other players in my corp for sure, but even without being an official diplo I also work with other wormhole corps to help push the community in a good direction. I've done duo classes with EVE University as well, and it's great to work in step with someone to convey an idea. The parts of your post I haven't answered I've instead put into full blown blog posts on http://csm.fcftw.org , so thank you for giving me the jump off point. James Arget for CSM 8!

Move to the very edge of the pos shield, self destruct or get shot up, move your pod back in. If fat osprey can do it while POS repping, your pod can too.

So when people have your pos incapped and reffed and bubbles up and fast lock legions just waiting for you to poke out and self disdruct,, to catch your ship (and our pod) and that there is no difference between from sd in your ff. or will you call in nc. again.

Although smaller in number, the WH community tends to stick together when the occiasion calls for it, since in the end we all suffer the same pains and enjoy most of the same triumphs. In addition, there's great potential in the STV system, so even though I'm pigenholed as "wormhole candidate", I want to again make it clear that just like wormhole space can't exist on its own without the rest of EVE, I won't be sitting on the CSM to only touch WH related issues.
