What does it mean?

No mate, sorry. Just no.

Get out.

What the heck am I reading here? Your "platforms" make no sense, and don't serve me, your constituent, in any way.

Is this a joke candidate?

yes and no

he's 100% serious, but to everyone else..., well, just read his old threads

I really hate to be overly frank here, but why are you trolling this process, and if not, waiting until now to announce your candidacy? I understand and saw you attempt last year, and after reading your thoughts, seeing your video/s, and reviewing you Vote Match, I have to say I feel like you are trolling this CSM process and you seem insincere about your desire to serve this community. I get it. This must be a troll, but I feel that many have taken this campaign and the CSM seriously and you are casually mocking this organization.

Since it would seem appropriate, you claim that SOV is broken. Could you elaborate in detail what you'd propose to "fix" SOV.

Also, what is your view on wormholes? In detail.

That said I will do my best to answer your questions logical fallacy notwithstanding.

Get out.

Which logical fallacy?

Xenuria,

My name is Orrin. I'd urge you to forego your pseudo-intellectual pursuit to engage and bewilder your contemporaries, since you're unlikely to distinguish on your own as a pathetic attempt to conceal your own inferiority. The fact is that you struggle to practice written discourse due to an ill-equipped mind leading to inexperienced usage of words and phrases beyond your own comprehension.

Protip: When you write something, read it aloud. If it sounds complex to you, chances are high that you will sound foolish when you post. People will undoubtedly take pleasure in pointing out the ignorant nature of your statements or arguments, which will further your own insecurities, leading to continued embarrassment. My recommendation is simple. Think before you post, and withdraw from CSM9. Leave this race to better minds.

I have had a considerable amount of time to sit and observe the CSM, one time I have noticed in spades is bias. Let me be clear, the CSM as a platform has come a very long way but at present issues still exist with power blocs voting in a candidate to serve their agendas.

I want to bring to the table a mentality that the corp and/or alliance you are a part of should have nothing to do with the decisions you make as a member.

One of the main issues I have with the CSM at present is that it is difficult to track questions and answers. I feel that any question asked of a CSM member should be documented and if an answer is given that too should be noted. These logs should be easily accessible by the player base on a section of the site and client dedicated too them. Repeat questions resulting for a lack of such systems only bogs down the process that is so important to delegation.

Hello Mr Xenuria,

I'd like to have a civil exchange and ask you some questions which I think are appropriate to the platform you are standing upon.



Would you be willing to go into greater detail concerning the power bloc agendas during CSM8's term, and the proof that power bloc elected CSM members prioritized those agendas over the benefit of Eve as a whole?



Candidates often draw their love of the game from the group of friends they belong to or the team that they have built. How do you propose that candidates wield a passion for the game, muster a drive to tackle the immense workload, and constantly keep in touch with the player base when... you expect them to cut their ties to the players they most associate themselves with?



As much as I'm all about effective communication, this process sounds like a utopian dream. The CSM is already expected to handle the pressure of a... frankly ridiculous amount of work. Don't you feel that a strict logging requirement on any and all CSM-player communication would discourage CSM members from talking to the players at all? Forum communications would be copy and paste, sure, but how about podcast interviews or video blogs? Will the interviewee need to bring along a CSM secretary to jot every word down?

Thanks in advance for your time.

I don't wish to badmouth CSM past or present.

[12:33] <@GrathTelkin> You know
[12:33] <@GrathTelkin> as punishment for not fixing 0.0 sov
[12:33] <@GrathTelkin> we should all vote Xenuria in and send him to iceland

I will do my best to answer any and all serious questions. If you would like to assure that I do not miss your question, avoid posting anything in the thread that could be misconstrued as trolling or baiting. You cannot bait me, I am the god of bait.

3. You get a few well thought out or probing questions from curious or potential voters. (These I love, it gives you a chance to shine)

I didn't ask you to badmouth anyone, any individual member of the CSM past or present, or even any of the power blocs. I would like to learn more about your in-depth knowledge concerning power bloc agendas throughout recent history because that tells me and everyone else how in touch you are with the people you may be about to represent.

Even if a CSM member took an action that wasn't in Eve's best interests it may have been their belief that it was. Following a power bloc agenda may even be in the best interests of the game as well. I'd like you to bring these matters into the light for clarity's sake, without insult or lack of respect for those involved.

Do you believe that highlighting Eve-detrimental power bloc agendas is indeed in the majority's best interests? If the player base as a whole is informed of these details they can take assertive action when it comes to their vote ballot. They would be able to protect Eve Online from potential threats that they may not have otherwise known about.

Do the points of your response conflict with each other?

Do you consider the timing of this post appropriate and adequate, given that it went up just a few days before the election begins and given that there was no widespread public knowledge of you running prior to your name appearing appearing on the approve list of CSM candidates?

Then, additionally, do you feel it is appropriate for the community to hold CSM candidates up to public scrutiny? Would you agree or disagree that posting this late hinders the ability of either the community at large or media representatives to hold you to that public scrutiny?

Your platform has some generic info in there that does not say all that much. How do you and in what way represent me?
