wtf is a bonus room

Interesting announcement. Who is the real Erotica1??

1) A low down dirty scammer who lures pilots into a web of ISK doubling and makes profit off of the hapless fools in Jita.

2) A philanthropist that is a genuine ISK doubler and offers a legitimate service...

3) An opportunist that has cleverly maneuvered himself to being the prime contact for ISK rinsing.

4) A political animal that has aspirations of being the next big thing and using the CSM to achieve fame/notoriety?

5) A genuine guy who is trying to make EVE online a better place and is enjoying his role play tremendously too!

6) A James315 alt.........

Whatever the definition of the real Erotica1 I enjoy the countless threads and I do like to watch in Jita the outbreaks of verbose jousting.

Good luck to you .

I will watch the developing plot with interest - the Meta is too strong to resist!

I dont know who erotica 1 is and I would never support anyone with such a silly name.

Why are people talking about CSM already?

I don't like what you do, but that doesn't mean I don't understand or appreciate it.

Yes I would vote you in

Tonight Erotica 1 announced his intent on running for CSM.

x up if you would support him.

If you do not, please post a thread voicing your concerns, and perhaps he could address them.

Honestly, depends how many other CFC candidates there are. One coalition shouldn't be over-represented on the CSM.

Here, allow me to repost this, as it appears it was overlooked on accident:


Erotica 1, you have stated that you would make an excellent advocate for all play styles, that you do not believe one play style is correct and another is incorrect. You said, in the press conference, that you believe all types of players need a voice. This included high sec miners, missioners, gankers, scammers and so on. A number of your core supporters, however, have expressed the view that certain play styles are invalid, as well as expressing the view that "some" people shouldn't even be playing EvE Online. On the other side of this are those players that feel your play style is invalid, or that you victimize unknowing players, specifically newer ones, for your enjoyment. Since you have stated that you would be an advocate for both of these groups, how do you plan on reconciling their vastly different opinions?

Erotica 1, some of your core supporters often express the opinion that Hi Sec should be removed from the game, denegrated into another segment of Null Sec or otherwise changed in a manner that would result in it no longer being Hi Sec. Is this your view as well? If it is, how do you reconcile that with your claim of being a fair representative of all players? If it is not your view, how do you intend to appease those core supporters that believe this is an integral part of "their" EvE while also maintaining the integrity of Hi Sec?

As well, you have recently stated in this thread that you want to improve EvE for the "broad community." Can you please explain to us what this broad community is? Does it constitute the whole of the EvE playerbase? If it does not, please explain which parts of the playerbase are apart of the community and which parts are not, in your opinion. If it does, please further explain how you intend to represent such a large disparity of play styles.

The TL/DR answer is that I support the sandbox, which should be protected and enhanced.

Imagine all of the ice disappeared throughout all of high sec. Perhaps only a particular kind to start, but more varieties would continue to vanish until players start trying to solve the mystery. A news release comes out (a CCP live event- series of events) and from there we get some sort of storyline mission that requires a lot of players to join together to complete a variety of missions that develop over time to solve the mystery. Eventually... a few days or a month (depending on player involvement) the mystery is solved and the Ice returns. It may require a bunch of miners to join in and help in some way to achieve the group goal of solving the mystery.

The above example, which I think would be pretty cool, could bring different players together (miners, missioners, gankers- who wish to stop the mission from succeeding, etc.) It would break up the monotony if ice mining, offer mission runners a new and exciting story- that requires players to work together (or against each other) and just generally be a fun thing for lots of people to do, together, in this great multiplayer game we share.


I hope that helps. I welcome your detailed and thoughtful questions.

That is the very opposite of a sandbox activity. May as well call it a quest and sell it for $15.

I wouldn't. His antics in his "bonus room" have gotten creepy in a way that even goons find appalling. For that reason, he sure as hell won't be appearing on the official CFC ballot list. Whatever support he can dredge up here is what he'll get.

As I will address in more detail soon, there has been an odd campaign lately to silence our voices. I am not standing down, and I will not let the status quo stand. Together, we can change things and make Eve better for everyone.

I disagree. Something like this would force certain groups of players experience more of Eve and interact. Furthermore, it could introduce all sorts of emergent gameplay in response, especially if others can join in on the other side.

But this is also why, at the core, I am running on a set of basic ideas with the understanding that I am actively soliciting ideas and encouraging the community to debate them. If you think that I have some agenda for certain players, you are mistaken.

The only agenda is to protect and enhance the sandbox and to encourage more transparency and open discussion.

If you have specific points and questions to raise, in some level of detail, please do.

Regarding the next player immediately above this post, I am not James 315. Try to imagine Eve as it is today but better. I encourage you to contribute ideas and concerns. I ask that you get past the "no ice" issue and see the possibilities to make your game more fun. Also, as previously mentioned many times, it is but one idea, and I am very open to constructive criticism. Also, I forget to mention that I would support the mission rewards to be fair enough to compensate for the reduction of Ice temporarily. It would also be an interesting way to seed new and limited items into the game.

Thanks.
