I was inspired to join Dirt Nap Squad after hearing about DNS on the Lost in EVE podcast.

Did you forget they banned Jaegerbombs from the stage at FanFest? XD

My only concern about DNSBlack is his enthusiasm. He has too much. Also, if elected, the members of CSM 9 shuold *under no circumstances* give their phone numbers to DNSBlack. I have heard the horror stories.

There is a simple solution to this: you set up a "900" number.

I mean, for $5/minute, I'd even listen to you, Josh.

God help us all if he finds Twitter . Probably rival Xander for #daily tweets.
.

Nothing puts a smile across my face more than imagining DNSBlack in a CCP conference room, giving the devs a piece of his mind, and reminding everyone in the room why we're all here and why we all play this game.

Do you still believe throwing a tantrum publicly is the best way to resolve issues with CCP?

The past few years have seen CCP taking the CSM and subsequently the players, more seriously than ever before. Would DNSBLACK diving in feet first and and giving CCP a piece of his mind undo all of this progress?

While "harsher" methods to get points across may earn people frownie points, we have things like the Jita riots around Incarna that may suggest it may be a viable measure at times.

I know you haven't known him as long as I have, given that you're less than two weeks old...

I'm on the fence about DNSBlack over exactly this issue. I eagerly await his response to the questions raised in this thread as to how he dealt with the Somer situation from last year. Once I hear that, I feel I'll be able to make a better decision on him one way or the other.

Let me tell you about alts... Oh hold on... You've been playing for 6 years and you don't know about alts?

You definitely need a break from CSM duties and get back to playing as it appears you're lacking knowledge on major aspects of EvE.

Its not about the situation its about how he handled himself in the situation

Look for my coms info in your mail box tonight.

DNSBLACK

While the way he protested the Somer situation was a bit brazen, I think it was necessary. He demonstrated the logical conclusion of CCP essentially sanctioning a method of converting one's in-game assets into real money. There were basically only three options: continue allowing the practice (bad idea), restrict it to a few select 'partners' (gives certain players a massive and unfair advantage over their competitors) or prohibit the practice entirely. Black's demonstration could have had unfavorable results (him being banned or the second option being taken) but that wasn't the case.

But let's not forget how he unwittingly yet utterly took down the most powerful player in EVE by getting him wasted and smug as **** with the unholy trinity of a cardboard wizard hat, Jager and Red Bull.

Let me tell you about alts...

And let me tell you about farming anonymous cowards for bumps...

dnsblack aka recon lossmail specialist how many buffs do you plan on advocating for recons to compensate for your complete inability to fly them

It is indeed true that DNSBlack loses a lot of Arazus. According to CCP, he's the all-time record holder when it comes to getting blown up in them. He considers this a badge of honor, much as the Rancer pirates pride themselves at having -10 sec status.

Every time Brad lights a covert cyno to begin a hotdrop, he knows that his Arazu is a sitting duck, but getting it blown up is usually a small price to pay for inflicting much more damage on his targets. That said, mocking him when he loses one is a DNS tradition.

If elected, DNSBlack will work to make the game better, period.

I am working on the interview I did with DNSBLACK, it's a 2 hour conversation that I need to edit but I agree with a lot of what he says, he has so much passion...

For us unwashed masses who aren't allowed to grace DNSBlack's personal comms with our presence I'd like to read the reasoning behind openly challenging CCP and dancing around the EULA when he tried to sell his account via raffle on the forums

Wish we had an editor for corp meetings. . .

DNS coms are not the EVE Uni Mumble. Our IT is handled by a talented member and consist of an Amiga 4000 and a 56k baud modem. This is an upgrade from our old Tandy TRS-80 with a 300 baud modem. We are not set up for half of EVE to come and hang out on our TS.

On the other hand, I am sure that if you contacted Black and asked nicely, he'd be happy to get you on coms and talk, if that is what you truly desire.

Hi there DNSBLACK.

I have read your initial post and it has left me wondering. You repeat a few times how you are essentially the non-bloc candidate. Then furthermore as far as what you do in eve you write "we strive to do everything".

This essentially tells me nothing. After reading that I have no real idea what you do in eve, where your interests lie or what aspects of the game you get passionate about.

Now about that passionate part. Not that many months ago you got rather passionate about the situation with SOMER blink. Now I'm not here to dredge that all up, the issue itself is not that important. But the actions you took, the things you said. In hindsight do you think you handled that well? Was that an example of DNSBLACK getting serious about an issue?

Let me end this post by saying that these are not intended as critiques, but simply honest questions to find out more about what you stand for, and what kind of person you are.

It's not for my own efficacy as much as I'd like to see if he can put the reasons for his behavior down into writing. I'm sure others would like to see the same as well.

Others can put snippets of their meetings or whatever with black but as far as I'm concerned it's hearsay and I'm not really interested in what people selectively remember from conversations they had months ago.

I fully endorse the use of the DNS CSM BPO on DNS Black for csm and so do my alts.

Lakshata Chawla, BadAssMcKill, Michele Bachmann:

I am glad you brought up the GÇ£SOMER-StinkGÇ¥ controversy. I remember the T20 scandal and how it led to the creation of the CSM. I was very concerned that things could escalate into a similar crisis. I did not act impulsively, without careful consideration, consultation with advisers and other leaders in the EVE community, or without thought of the possible repercussions which might occur. My stance was taken after a careful review of hard facts, and my post on the forums was intended to get CCP's attention and focus community attention on a problem that was getting a lot of heated arguments but not much emphasis on facts and fixes.


To remain silent would have allowed a cancer to grow that I feared would eventually kill EVE. In turn, scores of men and women in Iceland who I think of as friends would be unable to provide for their families. It would mean losing friends whom I have played this game with for years. It would mean that gaming would lose the special world that is EVE. The last time CCP seriously misjudged the needs of the EVE community, we got Incarna, and in the aftermath of that, many good people lost their jobs. I never want to have to see that happen again.


I would always prefer to advise, negotiate, and appeal to common sense, but sometimes -- as current and former CSM members will tell you -- you have to take a public stand. As a GÇ£private citizenGÇ¥ of EVE, my options were limited, but I made the best of them.


Had I the access and influence that is available to the current CSM -- made possible by the hard work of past CSMs -- I would have had many other ways to make my case, and taking a public stand would likely not have been necessary.


Whether or not I am elected to CSM, I will always tell you exactly where I stand on any particular issue, and I will make the best use of the influence available to me to make my case about what is best for all players of EVE. It is up to you and the rest of the community to decide if IGÇÖll be able to do that as a member of CSM9.

Correct me. . ..

Lose out on much in the SOMER nerf?

Roigon,

I apologize if I presumed that you were familiar with my history and the particular corner of the sandbox. I thought that I had hot-dropped most of EVE by now.

... introduction to DNS text ...

You ask what aspects of EVE I am passionate about. I am most interested in the community that is EVE. EVE is and always has been about people cooperating and competing against one another. It is that competition that I am passionate about. ... CSM I will work hard to ensure EVE provides a fresh and innovative experience for current and future players ...

I accept your surrender

I am not sure how you construe that bit of sarcasm as a surrender but I do notice that you dodged my questions entirely. Say Hi to ShamedOne for me.

I've pored over your recent podcast interviews with particular interest - not having had the misfortune of a confrontation in New Eden nor the pleasure of a meeting in real life. Only having heard of you, your achievements and endeavors, and being one of the more controversial candidates this year I was determined to hear your side of the story. Not your side of the story second hand, third hand, passed along the chain where it's altered and misconstrued, but in your own words. Preferably multiple times on multiple podcasts so I might be able to detect any anomalies. Politicians tend to bend the truth to their own ends after all, say what the people want to hear, and boy can you ramble... rofl.

My sensors came up green. I don't personally know the details of how you are in Eve but in real life... when you're on the mic, being posed with the hard questions by other real people that have a passion and a drive for this game... you're genuine. The real deal. You love Eve Online as much as the people asking the questions. You have as much passion as those sinking a large majority of their spare time into podcasting, serving the game week after week, serving the players as you would do given the chance.

CSM9 needs people with your sense of commitment, your penchant for delving into every little detail and communicating them all back to the players clearly and elaborately. I wonder how efficiently and swiftly you can communicate also, but that's something I'm more than satisfied to give you the benefit of the doubt on - and that seems to be a key skill that CSM members acquire and nurture over time. I believe DNSBlack will be an even stronger candidate next year.

This year you get my vote. You earned it. You'll be very high on my list - not having a bloc to back you - most likely one below Psychotic Monk, I can promise you that much.

I've a few questions of my own. Whether you're elected or not, how may we keep in touch with what you have to say over the coming years? Do you write any blogs or post often on the forums? Are you going to pull an Azariah and ***** on every available podcast? =D I'd certainly like to keep tabs on you dude.

Ok... so here's a question:

One of the big problems I feel we have in EVE is that you can hop 10,000 guys anywhere in New Eden pretty much instantly.

Materiel movement, supply lines, overstretching, flanking and pretty much any strategic movement and territorial control is irrelevant when you can Titan Bridge people anywhere you can get a cyno.

What's your thoughts on this problem and how would you propose fixing it? Do you think it needs fixing?

Here is my first attempt to develop my video blog please keep the questions coming.


CSM DNSBLACK VIDEO BLOG 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpkfTgjL7m8

You're a good looking fella :)

I'm in the midst of writing a series of blog posts about the changes I've seen over the last few years to EVE's culture. I feel we've become much quicker to embarrass and humiliate each other, much less likely to treat each other with respect, more inclined to see how far we can push another player... see if we can break him... see if we can drive him out of the game or make him snap.

And if successful, we crow "Go back to WoW, you *****!" and we celebrate our "victory."

1) Do you agree?
2) If so, why do you think it's happening? If you disagree, why?
3) What, if anything, do you feel CCP should do about it?

This is my second installment . I cant thank you enough for serving and hope if elected I can be as effective as you have been this year.

. . . apparently the big chunk is done via Skype text chat and the internal forums, including written 'homework'.
You yourself admitted that you do not like writing / textual debate, how do you think that will affect your ability to contribute to those discussions?

There are days we want to take his keyboard away. . . more often his mic, but . . .he may not like writing but Black can do it. The man managed to get a Bachelor's. . .

i'd like to actually see this happen in this thread as opposed to you just covering

I seriously thought about doing this as a YouTube video to answer you. . . but alas it's not worth my time and the irony would no doubt be lost.

You did in the above thread. . . back a few pages. . . but were being too obvious a troll to notice it.

Some very nice posts were made by Black but now Black's switched to a different media for a variety of reasons. We've had quite a number of CSM members who don't even speak, read, or write English as their first language. Some of them have been excellent CSM members. I'd rather have a CSM rep bring integrity, candor, and passion to the table then an ability to sperg enthusiastically on the forums or a blog. If sheer text output was some sort of qualifier for the CSM, Poetic Stanziel might still be around instead of selling of his accounts and leaving EVE.

It's easy to run one's mouth when you have the advantage of anonymity, say on the EVE forums with a character that looks a lot like an alt. . . It's another to put your name and face out there in public. Your bridge is over there, go live under it.

What do you think about projected effects get on killmails?
Ship A kills Ship B. Ship C is remote repairing/projecting links/Rsebo/whatever on Ship A. Should Ship C be displayed on Ship A's killmail?
Why / Why not?

Really appreciate the clips.

But just realized something - while some CSM-CCP talk is done on Skype voice, apparently the big chunk is done via Skype text chat and the internal forums, including written 'homework'.
You yourself admitted that you do not like writing / textual debate, how do you think that will affect your ability to contribute to those discussions?

Hopefully sobriety tests are given.
Good luck Brad!

What's your thoughts on this problem and how would you propose fixing it? Do you think it needs fixing?

Considering this post: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=332182&find=unread (and the Ripard blog that inspired it)

What is your stance on scamming and the harsh reality of EVE?

Is there a line that can be crossed? Is there too far? (scamming newbs? podding for SP loss? Metagaming scams (using external resources like Teamspeak or Custom Websites (eve-bazaar I'm looking at you... ) )

Is out of game harrassment/bullying/emergent gameplay/comedy (pick your term) such as The Bonus Room on teamspeak published across the internet on youtube, soundlcoud, pastebin okay?

Should CCP take a stand on this? any action?

Should the community tolerate and encourage this behaviour?


A TL/DR and IMO:

Some scamming crosses a line from in-game ingenuity and fleecing the naive to being full on cyber bullying and harrasment and possibly even a criminal act. What does DNSBlack think about this situation and what we (players and CCP) should do about it?

Iam also working on a written reply it should be ready Fri. Thanks for watching

You took a very passionate stance on the somerblink issue but I am wondering why you sat on the fence for so long on this matter.

Why did you wait for CCP to make an official statement before you took a stance on this issue?

I still think you are obnoxious when you have a few beers under your belt, but you have my 5 votes, if you take the golden tour again this year, don't **** off the tour guide. =p I am sure that guy from brazil needed a new gall bladder by the time we made it back to the harpa center.

See you at fanfest.

I'll trade you my CSM vote if you promise to never, ever, everrrrrr do another Alliance Panel at Fan Fest again (this deal also applies to Kesper North who may or may not be running at all, ever).

Ok the vote plus 1 beer and no more alliance panels.

Ok the vote plus 1 beer and no more alliance panels.

I'll even toss you a bottle of Jaeger, serious offer.

You have described yourself as a champion for the community & players in all areas of EVE.

Do you think that CCP needs better engagement with it's customers ie the players? If so, what proposals or plans do you have to improve on this? . Being that so much of the SOMER thing came out of mishandling a community event (in game swag @ EVE Vegas), what are your feelings on CCP's community events and what improvements would you recommend to CCP? What role do you see for the CSM in CCP's community relations? Should the CSM be involved in community relations beyond it's current role? Last, what do you think about in game live events and should CCP bother to devote resources towards them?

I only have 1 short, pointed question, so this should be a pretty easy "yes" or "no" answer.

IMHO, anyone who demands easy "yes" or "no" answers to complex and nuanced questions is either a fool or a troll, and any candidate who actually gives such an answer is unfit to be a member of the CSM.

Hello DNSBLACK,

I only have 1 short, pointed question, so this should be a pretty easy "yes" or "no" answer.
Everyone has their own reasoning / logic, so I don't want to know why, just a clear answer to whether or not you support a ban.

Do you support banning players, for actions, like Erotica 1 ?

Wow, right to name calling and w/ a CSM tag to boot. Interesting. I'll leave that alone and address the issue of my question.
However I believe this to be an interesting response from a candidate for CSM.

Back to the matter at hand.

The question is neither "nuanced" or "complex", as the whole "question" is now a matter of fact, and I am asking about that specific incident.
Secondly, I simply asked if the candidate supports what happened in said facts, not if the agree w/ the TOS, EULA.

So I ask again.....

Do you support banning players, for actions, like Erotica 1 ?

I am willing to except what ever decision CCP makes. If the fate of a player becomes known and I don't agree with CCP; I will take my $150.00 dollars to another business and then you will have your answer.

Hi there DNSBLACK.

Let me end this post by saying that these are not intended as critiques, but simply honest questions to find out more about what you stand for, and what kind of person you are.

Friends and EVE Community, I wish to announce my candidacy for the 9th Council of Stellar Management.

I am immensely grateful to my fellow EVE players and to CCP for this wonderful shared experience we call EVE, and humbly request that you, the players of EVE, support me as your voice before CCP. I look forward to championing your interests and keeping EVE as wonderful and rewarding as it has been for me for most of the last decade.

...Wall of text that I did read just choose not to repost as it says nothing relevant...

Please honor me with your vote. I will not let you down.

Your speech seems like you are not really sure what you do in eve. How high is your ship spin counter sir? Also it seems you and Kujo share a speech writer. If you want to actually tells us something about yourself other than that you strongarm labor disputes to a close please do so.

TLDR; Why should we vote for you? Your Bloc is not non partisan at all and has quite a significant foothold on all territories that are controlled by Dust players. Don't lie to the community outright sir, it doesn't make you a prime candidate it makes you a fink and a worm. Go find some honesty, I am sure there is an app you can steal for that...Cheers!

He makes the videos for you to be able to be informed about who he is as a person so use that resource instead of complaining that you don't know.

Before you go criticizing him by focusing on semantics and stooping to the level of petty insults based on what you read in a wall of text think about what you actually know about the guy. Watch his videos and maybe some of the things he has linked to find out that who he is what why anyone should vote for him. (I know that you haven't because of your comments)

I believe that DNS has said before how impersonal and unshowing the walls of text in the CSM forums are. He makes the videos for you to be able to be informed about who he is as a person so use that resource instead of complaining that you don't know.

I apologize that I feel the need to avoid watching propaganda for a bloc player who feels the need to insult our intelligence by thinking we are all stupid enough not to check the accuracy of statements made in supplication for our support for his candidacy.

It's clearly one of the things that he has said to "set our minds at ease" but if he has to lie about it there must be a reason. I may find the videos sometime later today to confirm my opinion of someone who has already lied to me and you but I may not. I still think it is a petty man who needs to hide his inadequacies behind semantics in one game with the I'm not part of it here attitude. One Universe//One War.


I am still not clear on what I lied to you about. I want to address this more then you can imagine so please help me understand the break in communication you feel is a lie.

Edit: As much as you claim to be non-partisan sir, they are only claims. I am not sure that given your association with the group of individuals who continue to have a very self serving interest in eliminating competition by bluing up with them how am I to believe that you would fight for anything I believe in? You sound like a very "nice" guy but I really don't think there is anything you could possibly say to me that would change my opinion of you, your alliance or any of your cronies based on plenty of time spent with some of the members in your alliance. Actions in game do have ramifications out of game as you say sir. Your associates do matter.

Edit: Reviewed many of the video blogs, fell asleep during the podcast, my position is still unchanged, lie to me once and you lose my respect, lie multiple times to the community about the same thing, lose my vote.

What?

What crack are you smoking? Look, just because following all this, the links in DUST514 came good and nobody was baller enough to put a stop to DNS domination of Planetary Conquest, is nobody's fault but yours and doesn't make DNSBLACK his own bloc.

CSM Thread: Posted: 2014.03.03 21:40
Nyain San (first DUST514 Corp to join DNS): 2014-03-22 21:06:00

So yeah, you just want to vent your whinge that you can't fight in DUST514 in PC anymore because the mean ole DNS will stomp you?

That's transparent, incorrect and isn't stopping Genral Tso's, What The French or Calamitous Intent from stepping up and kicking our asses.

You're wrong and you should feel bad. And it hurts any position on (justified) concerns over alliance domination of PC when whiny accusations are the level of rebuttal.

Huh? You really do seem to be saying something for someone who clearly doesn't know what to say about the accusation I am making. I believe it was best said "if we can't beat em join em" by Djinn Kujo, a member of Black's alliance. Now it is really irrelevant what emotional feelings I have but it is relevant that he has said that he isn't part of a bloc of power. This is a very real fact whatever your "feelings" are on the subject it is a lie. Why doesn't Bob rise up and smash Goonswarm you may as well say. Does it look like I am part of any of those alliances? Which rock did you crawl out from under in order to answer an accusation against this man's integrity when he himself has no answer for it?

Edit: Sorry, forgot my smoking gun earlier... Molden Heath Ownership Chart courtesy of www.dustcharts.com

Edit 2: If honest questions about a candidate's integrity hurt the discussion about how the Dust Eve connection is broken I might be concerned. In this case I believe it is fair to say it hurts your boyo's position more than the position of the discussions about what is wrong with PC, especially if he has nothing to say.

DNSBLACK has been in EVE a long time, and pre-dates DUST by a long time too. DNS is really not a bloc group having been friendly-with/no-longer-friendly-with/shot-at/shot-by pretty much everybody and anybody at one time or another.

DNS has only gotten involved in DUST recently - with DUST corps only joining DNS a full 3 weeks after the statement that you take issue with was posted. In fact, less time has passed since DUST corps joined DNS than passed between BLACK's "non-bloc" statement and your post calling him a liar.

DNSBLACK is a non-bloc EVE character. Campaigning for election to the CSM - an EVE council, for EVE. That DNSBLACK is interested in developing how EVE and DUST link together and that blue donuts, force projection and all those problems The War Room accuses DNS of personifying are the very issues that DNSBLACK and others campaigning for CSM have identified that they feel need work and plan to raise with CCP as CSM members.

If you're going to come around calling somebody a liar to their face (as it were), you better be able to prove it. When DNSBLACK said "non-bloc" it was true then and remains true in reference to EVE. That DNS Alliance became a bloc overnight in DUST Planetary Conquest because Molden Heath was rolled up in a week is not DNSBLACK's fault.


There's plenty of further discussion on the issues in PC, blue donuts and Molden Heath in the DUST forums. Cross posting whiny accusations disguised as a political integrity question is a poor troll. Especially when you don't even have the decency to take the time to read, watch or listen to your target's position.

I think we all know why Khaldem is actually angry....

DNSBlack has obviously been actively avoiding a deep and meaningful issue that delves deep into the character of a CSM candidate... THE one and only how many hours have you mined recently post found here: here

TELL US DNS! You can no longer deny the countless hours you spend shooting rocks to manipulate the entire EVE economy and drive PLEX prices ever higher!

How deep does this conspiracy run?!?! Do the Goons protect you because of a secret pact that you formed with theMittani for the wizard hat? Is that why you gave it away? YOU CAN'T RUN ANYMORE DNS








Disclaimer: None of these statements are true and do not equate even remotely to anything such as a representation of DNS or DNSBlack and have been fabricated solely for the purpose of humourous dramatization by Edward Dionysos. Edward Dionysos is a seperate entity completely unrelated to DNS, DNSBlack or any of his Affiliate's.


Okay honestly I hope this post shows you how you are acting Khaldem

Mittens willed me his hat a long time ago, hold on let me find that napkin with his signature on it.

Just for your edification and perhaps education, let me give you the definition of "bloc" in the EVE/CSM sense:

bloc noun \-êbl+ñk\
: a group of people or countries that are connected by a treaty or agreement or by common goals

1
a : a temporary combination of parties in a legislative assembly
b : a group of legislators who act together for some common purpose irrespective of party lines
2
a : a combination of persons, groups, or nations forming a unit with a common interest or purpose
b : a group of nations united by treaty or agreement for mutual support or joint action

2B would be the use of the word in EVE a it relates to the CSM election i.e. a corp or alliance part of a null sov coalition

By your use of the term it would be any corporation or alliance. Seriously, and I do mean this seriously. .do you understand the difference between an alliance and a coalition of alliances like the CFC or N3?

Oh, and lastly and just to be a pedant. DNS the alliance did not get involved in PC or take on a DUST corporation until 3/21/14, nearly three weeks after your being 'lied to" about nt being a bloc candidate, which has already been dispensed with by the power of Merriam Webster.



That's funny because that wasn't actually Mittani's hat. . .

He really did lie to the public, it's really too late to deny it now.

You've been proven to be wrong. Both in context and concept.

I get it. I do. There are plenty of upset people that believe (wrongly IMO) that what has happened in DUST PC is A Bad Thing. That DNS is evil and exists solely to take your candy and kick your puppy.

As usual for forums and the internet, much of the 'discussion' boils down to personal attacks and fabrications and it is this that I take issue with. Coming into somebody's thread and throwing around accusations requires that people call you out on it. That's why I'm saying you're full of it and not because I'm some shill or spokesperson.

DNSBLACK's integrity in my experience (which is direct and extensive) is impeccable, both in EVE and IRL.


I hope ISD are watching.

Dewinter, I would really like to believe that pirates can count so I will say this in plain english 100 - 96% = 4% right? That 4% of the molden heath Planetary Districts are not held by your alliance. Now as far as based on a percentage of Null Held by a single Alliance, there are no other alliances that can compare the percentage of territory held by any one group. This clearly constitutes a bloc of power, don't try to sugar coat it--the reality is disturbing. Essentially it is only relevant to those players involved in Dust in any way but trying to sweep it under the rug saying it didn't happen means there is something to be ashamed of. All your devious natures are quite fine and good in game but have no place in representing anyone's interests to CCP.

That's a flawed analogy.

PC that takes place on select system planets in a single region of New Eden is not the same as the bloc powers that vie and control 0.0 space.

The correct comparison is Faction Warfare. Can you guess what happens in FW? Players kick the living snot out of the opposition until they stop twitching and they've conquered all available systems. All of them. For reference, take a browse through the Warfare & Tactics forum or search for Fall Of Innia e.g. http://themittani.com/features/fall-innia

Even then, FW comprises hundreds of systems - and notably includes DUST in any system with Temperate planets - and is vastly grander in scale than an alliance that got organised together with some higly skilled mercs who stopped fighting everyone elses battles for them.

Additionally, not a pirate thank you. You'll find that there are many CSM hopefuls who are way beyond 'devious natured.'

Nor am I ashamed. I am not sweeping anything under any rugs. I am standing up right here holding it up in the light and proving that you're wrong.

The issues in DUST PC echoed with issues in EVE FW are irrelevant to this thread.

What is relevant is anyone casting baseless accusations based on an axe to grind over FPS butt-hurt and demonstrable factual inaccuracies.

You may personally consider DNS Alliance a bloc so far as DUST PC in Molden Heath goes, fair enough, but that doesn't mean you get to change temporal physics, language definitions or defame the integrity of people like DNSBLACK unchallenged.

If you actually looked, you'd be aware that people like DNSBLACK is the principle advocate for the human element in EVE and the relationships, connections, enjoyment and gameplay we can all share. And that maybe he's the one with the experience, knowledge and skills to present how best to improve and change these things for everyone's betterment.

Hello DNSBLACK, this is your biggest fan here o7o7o7o7o7!!!!!!!11!!!!!1!

If elected, how will you bring the principles of the DNS video to the CSM body?

So, DNSBLACK, if elected to the CSM, how close interaction would you expect or like to have with the CPM?

Hi, I would like to know your stance on multiboxing and use of third party applications such as isboxer.

Oh, and lastly and just to be a pedant. DNS the alliance did not get involved in PC or take on a DUST corporation until 3/21/14, nearly three weeks after your being 'lied to" about nt being a bloc candidate, which has already been dispensed with by the power of Merriam Webster..

and now I am off to take care of the airline stirke looming over the party.

W...What do you mean you are going to take care of it? D:

...Why am I imagining this?
