Hey everyone. I'd like to announce that I'll be running for CSM9.
Who am I?
I am a highsec content creator and have been for the vast majority of my space career. I have spent significant time on wardecs, suspect baiting, and highsec safaris (which I helped significantly to bring into the prominence it is today). I've also spent time scamming, suicide ganking, and invading missions. If it is highsec content creation, I have done it and am probably in touch with the leaders in that field.
I have also very closely watched the development of the ruleset that highsec lives under, even occasionally being the direct cause of some of the changes CCP has made to aggression mechanics over the years.
My successes include two wildly successful rounds of weeks spent generating content for foolish incursioner in bulk numbers, hundreds of extremely fun wardecs, and having created one of the two biggest content generating organizations in highsec right now and possibly even ever. I spend a great deal of my time lately mentoring newbros in the wide variety of interesting careers they could be engaging in outside of traditional grindy-PvE or large nullsec paradigms.
This year I also created and hosted Suicide Ganking 4 Good, which was a charity event to raise money for Hurricane Haiyan relief, raising the equivalent of roughly $5500 over the course of a weekend on the strength of the criminal community and stream viewers.
What do I stand for?
As the pirate king, I am standing up for interesting and competitive gameplay in highsec. Too many people are tortured under the notion that this is a grindy-style traditional MMO, and they are being robbed of the beauty of this game because of it. While this is disturbing by itself, the fact that CCP will not allow its employees to participate in any competitive gameplay in highsec means that all of their experience with the subject matter is at best second hand, or dated, or both. It is fundamentally important that someone with significant hands on experience in these matters be on hand to help CCP determine what is or isn't going to be good for the health of emergent gameplay in highsec.
In short, I want groups of all sizes and in all areas of space to be excited and motivated to log on to use complex systems and superior tactics to crush an enemy, whether that be for revenge, profit motive, or just for the sheer joy of starting something messy. Without active voices in the content creation community, that will slowly be choked out of this game entirely and we will lose what made this game special and unique in the MMO landscape.
Besides keeping CCP informed about how content is created in highsec, as a highsec representitive I'm also pushing an agenda of increased organizational tools (including, in a dream scenario, a complete revamp of the corporation system to make corporate membership meaningful in highsec) and increased levels of information on the competitive landscape pushed out to the players so they know what sort of field they're playing on and what tools they have to achieve their own goals.

> Pirate King
"A pirate is a person who commits warlike acts at sea without the authorization of any nation."
You are allowed in highsec and perform wardecs (Concord sanctioned), as such I accuse you of advertising yourself under false pretenses! You sir, are not a pirate king!
Although, I guess I'll get the question rolling.
"Incursioners make a lot of money, and due to corporation mechanics are nearly impossible to wardec and trap down, do you have a potential idea on how this problem could be solved to create an isk sink for CCP?"

Having personally flown with Monk on many occasions, I can attest that there is not a single individual who can serve to represent this side of EVE who is as good a guy as him. People are quick to shoot him down as a person of zero moral integrity and character, but never have I felt more accepted and safe in terms of company than the times I have immersed myself in the communities Monk has fostered. Ruthless and competitive in game-play while accepting and quick to jump to the defense of anyone who is on the receiving end of anything that goes beyond spaceships; Monk is the kind of guy we need on CSM9 to bring high sec into a golden age of emergent content for all walks of life. |

Your in my top 5 for sure.
FYI Monk is like James315 without the empty delusional cult-leader overly-verbose rhetoric. Great communicator, well spoken, informed and educated in EvE.

Psychotic Monk will be at the top of my ballot again this year. Highsec content creators (and by that we mean pirates) have been under-represented on CSM for too long, or overshadowed by the pro-carebear, pro-Trammel voices.
A more balanced highsec and a corp management overhaul, two of the key points of Monk's platform as I understand it, will benefit all of EVE.

Hello "pirate king", apart from using the mechanics to outsmart new guys, have you spend any time in lowsec/null/wh's and what have you done there?
You mention "having created one of the two biggest content generating organizations in highsec right now and possibly even ever", can you tell me which organisation, and how is this measured? I disagree |

Hey Monk, glad to see you're running again. Monk will be a strong advocate for his community and has been regularly involved in my space hangouts. Welcome to the posting fray!
I'll toss you a quick question I'm planning on asking a lot of candidates-- what feature over the past year do you see as the biggest failure, and either: 1) how would you change it to achieve similar objectives while avoiding the pitfalls in the present solution or 2) why is the problem it addresses not a problem or not worth solving? http://warp-to-sun.tumblr.com -- my blog |

Seems you know very little of highsec piracy.
It's actually VERY rare a "new guy" gets attacked.

Psychotic Monk started a corp that spam recruited for newer players and then awox'ed them in high-sec when they joined. I'm all for ganking people, I'm all for the harshness of EVE... but griefing newbies just because they didn't know better isn't the kind of thing that the community should support. Anyone who supports him is effectively saying that sort of "gameplay" is a good thing for the game. Killing the stupid, great. Creating a troll newbro corp to recruit people who haven't even heard of a killboard before and then murdering them? Not so much.
There are a lot of people who have great ideas of how to make high-sec more dangerous. This isn't that guy. |

1) Other then making it easier to gank/wardec/hunt highsec dwellers do you have any ideas about how to make highsec a more exciting place? A bone for your would be "victims" perhaps? 2) How do you think the new highsec PI system is faring in creating content and how would you improve it? 3) How do you propose to help new player retention if it becames easier to attack players under your NPC corp changes? |
