Hi my name is Sort Dragon
This is me introducing myself with the intent to run for a seat in the Council of Stellar Management term 8, in this manifesto I will explain to you why I think I should be elected a seat in the Council of Stellar Management.
First off I am not going to try to promise that I can get anything changed as we all know that is not 100% possible and too many times csm's have gone out with promises to get ccp to change things and failed. On the other hand I promise to be the voice to the people who need that voice, be that from the noobie who just wants to bring his new shiney drake to a fleet or the titan pilot who just wants to make people cry. I understand that by being a csm you do not hold infinite power but you are selected to give voice to the topics and thoughts of the player base to the developers and gms where the average player cannot.
A little bit about myself, throughout my long time in eve I have been involved in all levels of game play I am currently in the alliance Pandemic Legion and have been for the past year and a half. Previous to this I was in Northern Coalition. and IT Alliance before that. I am a ceo of my own pvp corp with close to 60 actual members, throughout my time in eve I have held many different leadership positions but I find myself at my best when I lead from the front.
I have been reading through the minutes of CSM 7 and I can see a main focus for csm 8 is going to be for 0.0. I believe with my past experience in eve I am perfectly suited for a position on the csm. This means yes my main focus will be 0.0 but that does not in any way mean that I will ignore empire or low sec .I have played the game so long now to understand that for 0.0 to survive and be able to give the great content and fights that it does then there must be a be a balance found between all 3 areas of eve.
My experience in eve is the following:
- Industry from smallest of building and invention to titan and super cap production.
- Fcing roams to fcing large fleets in low sec empire and 0.0.
- I have held leadership positions across multiple alliances during multiple wars and campaigns that have been through eve.
- Managing massive regions of current and old sov system space to know the ins and out of 0.0 sov warfare and and pos warfare and what I believe to be the positives and negatives to these things.
Throughout the coming election you will see many different candidates come forward with different ideas and platforms and reasons for voting for them, if you have any questions for me regarding my campaign feel free to contact me via evemail and also feel free to follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/Sort_Dragon
I will further state my intentions as it gets closer to the election date and will be looking to you the players in eve to help me understand what your needs are. I ask for your consideration to vote for me in the coming election. |

what specific areas of game changes would you be able to comment on without consulting with anyone? i.e. CCP comes to you with an idea to do a specific change to eve gameplay: which areas are you able to comment intelligently on, and which do you need to defer to someone else's expertise? |

There is litterally very little in eve that I do not know or have not done in the past. This is not arrogance and I apologize if it comes across like that, I have just literally done that many things in eve that it would be hard for me not to be able to comment on them all... If I had to maybe pick some then it would quite possibly be some level 4 missions and some arc missions that I do not know as much as everything else about.
Because this game at times can be very boring I have tried my best while low times in the pvp world to try my hardest to keep myself interested by trying different things. Also as I like to make isk in this game and I am pretty good at it I have researched nearly every single way possible to make isk and this has helped me learn the ins and outs of the game. |

A fair question I do believe there is a fair need for a csm to be understood using spelling and grammar and such. However I do not believe that this should be relied upon to type and have the best English skills, after all eve is a global game with a lot of English speakers and I would think a csm should strive to be understood by all, so it is up to a csm to type so all can understand him or her.
I myself speak 2 languages and understand a further 3, English may be my mother tongue but after living overseas I can admit my english has failed me and I could not count for it being my best language. But 1 thing I can account for in my travels and I know above all else is the one thing people always want no matter if they are living in a foreign country or if they are just visiting or if they are a native. All everyone wants is to be understood so yes I do think that correct writing should be used but I do think that will not be my focus my focus will be to make sure people understand what I am saying instead of lots of fancy words and comments. |

I think people misunderstand pl we may have the best toys the best income and we may adapt well with the times and yes this has come from broken mechanics, but the one thing that should be remembered is PL always adapts and it is a common misconception that we break the rules to have our own way with the csm this I cannot attempt to squash because no one would believe me but the fact is even if I was not nominated then PL would still adapt still try to find new ways to exist. My seat on the csm would not give my alliance any great advantage compared to others it would instead give the general player base from all alliances an advantage because the experience I have means I know what needs to be done for everyone to enjoy this game and not just myself or my alliance.
No matter whether I am put into place by a way to guide game mechanics or not, I believe in what I am doing and know I am not here to influence changes that would hurt eve however there will be some people who will not believe what I am fighting for which is fair enough this is politics afterall. But the one thing I do trust in is the players to let me know what they want and I trust the Developers to develop a game that would help everyone not just my alliance. My job is to guide those 2 sides to understand each other better.

I wouldn't worry too much about questions like that, I'm sure I'll be answering the "How do we know you're not doing this for the benefit of goons/for your own personal isk benefit" question time and again.  Comes with being a bloc candidate and (in my case) a known rich man/(ab)user of game mechanics.

First off Snot I would like it to be known that I will be running a clean campaign so refrain from attacking another csm in my thread I will not be associated with a smear campaign against another candidate just because of the alliance or coalition they come from.
Now on to your questions.
I think the sov now days in null sec is even more stagnated then it was back under the pos warfare time. The benefits to the sov are great on the other hand the opportunities to upgrade your systems to maintain special rewards both tactically and industry based really do give a good bonus to having the new sov system. On the other hand I find that the flow of the game is stagnated under the new system, You do not very often see systems change hands under a smart defender. This is because there is no real strategic bonus to really defending a system every timer you can quite easily not fight on any of the numerous defense timers the system has and only need to turn up once to save the whole system which can cause alot of problems between people trying to get fights or attempt to get a footing into a hostile region. On the other hand it works also in the attackers favor favor if a large force comes in to take some ones space there is no bonus major bonus to holding systems so you can quite easily just give up and possibly come back at a later stage and recapture it or just move on comletly and give up.
Unfortunatly as a titan pilot I can say that now days that titans have lost there way in eve and these days titans are only usefull really as power projection bridge platforms or on the off chance as super weapons in 0.0 super cap fights. I have owned a titan right from the day of remote doomsday's to pinpoint 1 target capital only doomsday's that they are today. I can honestly say the titan is the one ship that no one really has any idea what to do with. You either make them completely overpowered (aeo doomsday, tracking titans) or to where they are now where they are most of the time no use to login other then to bridge people around. I do hope that there is some way that between the players the csm and ccp we can find some way to find the happy medium for titans so they can get the use they need for the pilots who own them while at the same time not being completely game controlling that everyone wants them banished from the game.
My favorite thing to say now days is 'The age of Alliances is dead the age of Coalitions is apon us' the game has changed so much since the start where it was about corps and then moved on to super corps massive corps that could really do some damage. Then these corps formed alliances and in turn the alliances banded together to breed coalitions.
This came about out of pure human instinct of survival corps realized that the only way to beat their enemy was to be better and what way to be better then to combine forces with other corps they considered good. The same happened with coalitions. Alliances realized that to beat certain alliances for example Pandemic Legion, Band of Brothers, Goons, Triumvirate to name a few, people had to adapt and the only way to beat these what people considered super alliances was to band together live together fight together and protect each other. Today you see an evolution of these groups to become massive coalitions covering multiple regions for what is survival of the fittest. Do I believe coalitions are killing the game or hurting the game the answer to that is no. I have played the game long enough to see alliances come and go and coalitions along with them. Any coalition can fall and some of the biggest and strongest the game has seen form have been dispatched. I think that coalitions are just a natural progression of the game and we will see over the next few years more form and more fall.
Oh good old technetium how I love thee. The one mineral that has defiantly helped make me as rich as I am today and has helped start so many wars that eve has had today. Do I believe it is broken yes and no. Yes back when it was 300k a unit then yes it was broken now days it hovers around 70k a unit give or take 10k I believe these moons provide content to null sec warfare. Do I believe this moon should be concentrated in 1 place all the time no I do not the idea of wars in the past was to give people a reason to fight or something to grab to advance there alliance. I do believe moons do need to be looked at to give alliances across eve some reason to hold there space and to also defend it what that is or what I think could work, I will leave until a later day to explain.

You have my votes and support.
All I want in return is Alliance Fit's.
Elise has already stated he will be to busy next year to run. I think Sort is a great person to represent.
One of the biggest things that amazes me regarding Sort are all the different relationships he has with other alliance leaders on both sides of the field.
I think that would also help him be an effective CSM.
Anyway good luck.. |

I'll vouch for this guy anytime. He's very competent when it comes to meta-gaming and the intricate web that is EvE politics. In terms of Null-Sec experience, I would again point out his meta-gaming experience. The 0.0 politics nowadays have been shaped around its shortcomings (read: faulty game mechanics) and I feel that Sort has been instrumental in finding new ways to adapt to these mechanics by seeing the meta-game for what it is.
Having him at the CSM table, contributing to the solutions to what many feel are faulty game mechanics will inspire new ways of playing this game. It might even bring meta-gaming and politics on an equal level to game mechanics, giving each aspect the weight it deserves. |

Vote for this guy if you want dudes, but it is a total waste of a seat for someone that only knows what he knows in Eve as it is told to him from the people he talks to on jabber. If you think that Eve would be benefited by it's nullsec representation consisting of a guy that hasn't been in a fleet, gotten a kill or even logged on for anything other than skill changes and tech tower management... then please, by all means support Sort.
Or, you can take it from me, and anyone else that's been in a PL fleet in the past 9 months... Sort doesn't play this game. He's busy playing Eve Online: Jabber. I don't think sort's gotten a kill since Retribution was released. 0.0 will only be benefited by someone that is in the trenches with us.

My apologies last night was a night with the missus ie not eve or any games at all I like having some one warm to snuggle up to at night and people like Missbolyai see that as a weakness and like to see some one in the trenches with them. However no matter how much people try to derail and swear that i do not play I do play eve online I may not always do it on my PL chars but it is known by many that I still play the game sometimes more then i should...
Anyway now that I have gotten that out of the way your questions are interesting and deserve time taken to answer...
What's your opinion on supercapital proliferation and force projection in this matter?
I think the days of supercapital power projection are still around but not as big as before given that the nerf to the drone bay of supers and the nerf to titan guns means you absolutely need a sub cap fleet or at least a carrier based fleet to keep you safe from getting stuck and dying horrible. Do I think force projection is a good thing in eve online, yes I do it promotes evolution of other entities and springs up an arms race where all entities in eve do there best to equip themselves as well as they can.
What do you see could be done to change any aspects, if you desire any change?
This question is such a hard question to answer because of the fact that if i answer it and nothing of what i see could be changed isn't changed then I can be called on for promising something when in fact I am trying to be some one who works with both sides to get things accomplished. I am not trying to go to csm with 1 set thing I want to fix and then leaving everyone disappointed if I do not get it changed. So I cannot fully answer this question sorry.
What is your opinion on OTEC, and major power blocs currently forcing NIPs to preserve the cartel?
As one of the original people who sat at the table and created OTEC I can safely say I like it when myself Vile and a couple of others from PL sat down and made OTEC it was made to protect assets that we (ncdot at the time) had in the north so we could go and fight other entities that we saw fit to fight. The good things with deals like this is they are able to be broken to create great content in the game. NCdot much later after getting so much benefit from otec and filling the war chest decided to break the otec and managed to get a long and bloody war out of it. Right now a new cartel is developing in the south under the banner of NOTEC I am proud to say that I am apart of the creation of this cartel too and it will promote the raising of funds in the south to help create isk for many in the south so not all the wealth in the game can be found in the north...
I hope this answers your questions feel free to post more I do enjoy talking about eve even if i do tend to ramble on... |

I hope this answers your questions feel free to post more I do enjoy talking about eve even if i do tend to ramble on...
From the point of view of someone who is not a part of OTEC, it is a different world and a corruption beyond any scale in Eve.
OTEC alliances control not only the T2 market, but also have enough passive income to enable free carriers to alliance members. It pays the sov bills of hundreds of systems with minimal effort (in comparison to a non OTEC entity).
This much capital coming in gives OTEC members a resounding advantage against anyone but themselves, and even then they would be stupid to turn down such an easy ploy to the game, as NC. discovered... the rest of OTEC would come down on them with a hammer.
For all that don't know about OTEC, it is an agreement between the largest nullsec alliances in the north to not invade each other to preserve passive Tech moon income. As such they have an uninterrupted supply in the billions every single day.

My apologies last night was a night with the missus ie not eve or any games at all I like having some one warm to snuggle up to at night and people like Missbolyai see that as a weakness and like to see some one in the trenches with them. However no matter how much people try to derail and swear that i do not play I do play eve online I may not always do it on my PL chars but it is known by many that I still play the game sometimes more then i should...
Anyway now that I have gotten that out of the way your questions are interesting and deserve time taken to answer...
Last night... and every night since you got bored with eve over the last 9 months. If you've spent all the time you've not played eve with your gf, you'd be the father of twenty children by now. I'm not saying that you should sacrifice your social life for eve, but it is entirely possible to have both... I'm sure you've kissed shadoo's ring enough for him to share that secret with you. But since you've claimed that you play eve, allow me to retort:

The only character that you've logged on in a month is the one you with which you pay your weekly bills. But, ok. You play eve on other characters as "it is known by many" that you still play the game. Sounds fair... it is possible that people do multiple things with different alliances. Please do me the favor of identifying for us with whom you DO play the game (since it's not the alliance in which the corporation that you are the CEO of belongs). So, please... point those people out that can vouch for your activity.... Because this sure doesn't:

Wow moving on to personal insults now against some one who has not even presented themselves in my campaign is sad to see. Its sad to see when some one cannot keep a debate to facts and not try to drag people in who do not deserve it.
For all that should know I have between 10 to 20 accounts and with these accounts I am logged into eve quite frequently. Through these accounts I keep updated with what goes on in eve from within Pandemic Legion and from outside of Pandemic Legion. The sad fact is I play this game way too much and the reason I decided to go for csm is because I believed that my hobby should move to the next level and I should help make my hobby into something special. If you want to go back 9 months ago then sure 9 months ago I also started my own business IRL having this experience did take me away from eve for a small time but only a matter of weeks as I set up my company to be the thriving thing that it is now. I am successful IRL I am successful in eve the reasoning for this is because I know what works in eve as i know what works in the business world. I want to bring these skills that I have into the csm and help benefit both parties I will represent like I would represent my company and my clients interests in the business world.
The fact is if you do not like my actions as running for csm in this election that is fine but if you believe you could do a better job maybe you yourself could run for csm and see how you hold up in the big world of politics. If not then I believe you are just another Paris Hilton propped up for way too long and when it comes down to the whistle being blown and time to put you foot on the line and stand up and mean something you won't. But the sad truth is like her you will like her probably forget to vote anyway.
As for your favor the answer is no I will not give you other people to bug and derail and try to drag through the mud like you have attempted here. Eve Online is not just about kills it is a thriving environment where all sides fight to survive that does not mean just killing that means survival through industry espionage and business and other aspects like are in the outside world, there is a reason why eve is unique and why it is more then a game where you login and shoot people. I run to represent not only the pvpers but the industrialists the spies the money makers the traders all the people that make the game of eve online what it is. You may rate a pilots wealth on how many people they have killed in this game but i value a pilots wealth on what they bring to this game not just who they shoot in it.
Good day to you sir. |
