Hi. IGÇÖm running for CSM again.
As I said last year, IGÇÖm not running on a platform, IGÇÖm running on a skillset. IGÇÖm still a goon. My experience and space resume remains largely the same, albeit a year more of it. The only difference between this year and last is that IGÇÖd add to it my time as CSM. But what a difference a year makes.
If youGÇÖve read the minutes, youGÇÖll know that I have a wide variety of opinions on a wide variety of subjects. IGÇÖve written on TMC about the intersection of mechanics, player motivation, and psychology. IGÇÖve done some investigative journalism, and IGÇÖve also been party to public criticism directed at CCP. IGÇÖm still committed to the idea that EVE is about relationships. At this point, anyone voting for me should know what theyGÇÖre getting. In the immortal words of Popeye, GÇ£I yam what I yam and tha's all what I yam.GÇ¥
In my campaign thread last year, I expressed hope that CCP had a plan for 0.0 and an understanding of how nullsec works. While there are a couple singular exceptions, CCP lacks both a plan and understanding. This is why IGÇÖm running again. IGÇÖm quite sure theyGÇÖre all well intentioned, but nullsec is a unique and complicated ecosystem. I understand it far better than they do, and IGÇÖd rather they not introduce cane toads.
When I started my term last year, I had certain expectations of how the CSM worked and what it meant. For a hardened space politician, I was unfortunately na+»ve. That na+»vet+¬ is gone. After hearing the CSM called a GÇ£PR toolGÇ¥ by one of CCPGÇÖs public relations people, I know where the CSM stands. After many of the disparaging comments made to me directly, I know where I stand. The new release cycle makes it harder than ever for the CSM to have input and be heard. The institution requires strong, professional voices from people with the confidence to, if necessary, fight. Because thatGÇÖs what it takes, not sycophantic CCP apologists, not rabid anti-CCP detractors. ItGÇÖs a tough balance to strike, and the people you vote in dictate the effectiveness of the institution itself. Vote wisely.
IGÇÖm a straight shooter. You might not always like what I say. CCP certainly doesnGÇÖt. But youGÇÖll always know what I think, and why.
YouGÇÖre quite welcome to mail me about various matters, but if you have any nuanced platform questions, please drop them here in thread as IGÇÖm not going to respond to EVE-mails asking for multi-paragraph explanations. ItGÇÖs nothing personal, I simply donGÇÖt have the time to write a thousand mini-essays. I can also be reached on twitter @siggonK.

Hi! Thank you for running again!
Two questions:
1) I know that the goons are a large group, and take care of their own. Do you have any opinions about the development of the New Player Experience?
2) I read some posts on Themittani.com, and some other places... and the thought that CCP might, just might ban me for no apparent reason... not tell me what that reason is... and be "wrong"... keeps me awake sometimes at night (especially when I have to get my credit card out for something...). What can we do to better this situation?? |

I wholeheartedly support the re-run of Sion to CSM X.
There are few in the game with the level of calmness, experience, and greater understanding of the game as a whole. Do not let the age old Grr Goons sentiments cloud the facts of him being a solid and reliable member that will fight for the best interests of the game as a whole. Sion is honed in on the key topics right now and with EVE in such a critical phase of developments right now, we all will want someone in the team that knows what they are talking about, has the years of experience, and has access to data through the wealth of resources within his alliance to ensure CCP are full aware of their decisions. For what it's worth, there are also few people in this game that I value on a personal level as much as Sion. He may be on CSM but he remains very much down to earth and approachable, unlike (some) other CSMs present and past

1. Goonswarm has a long history of bringing in newbees and in general being a newbee friendly organization. What we've found largely mirrors what CCP's statistics indicate: people who get involved in the social component of the game stick around longer. So while there are mechanical aspects that can be changed to flatten EVE's vertical learning curve, the biggest single factor is getting new players involved in the community. My focus is therefore on ways to get players the tools to help make that transition from npc corp to player corp as smooth and intuitive as possible.
2. I've yet to encounter a case where someone was arbitrarily banned for no reason whatsoever. And if you ask, everyone who is ever banned will say that they're innocent. That doesn't mean that CCP doesn't make mistakes and that there isn't room for improvement. But if it legitimately keeps you up at night, go find some truly innocent people and make a case study out of it, push loudly and publicly for reform. Offer some practical solutions, don't just toss rocks or concern troll.

Well there is concrete information out there, that banned players have not been informed by CCP why they have (in the concrete case) been banned.
Whilst I am sure that the players that were banned must have done something "ban worthy", not informing them why their account was banned (as in concretely for what) seems kind of weak. A practical solution would be for CCP to say "you have been permabanned for being associated with Erotica 1s bonus room".
I am mostly disturbed that CCP does not always offer a reason, and therefore the chance of an "appeal".
I guess DJFunkyBacons grey area left me all nervous. |

Sion Kumitomo, I'd like to pose the same question to you that I posed to Corbexx. You were in the meeting where CCP proposed the removal of high sec awoxing, and barely spoke other than to suggest that suicide ganking is a decent replacement for it. Is this actually your opinion, and could you elaborate on whether you support this change?

Can you elaborate on your reasons for this proposal?
It seems to me that there are no advantages to this change in game mechanics, only complications. "True" newbies aren't affected by awoxing (they don't even know what it is nor have any assets of note to lose), so they are unlikely to change their behaviour. It only serves to protect highsec corporations by removing one of the few remaining risks to them. Good highsec corps interested in training new players already have systems (background checks, dedicated training corps, etc.) to protect themselves, so all this does is encourage lazy and clueless CEOs to spam invites at new players risk-free, and may result in more new players ending up in small, low-quality corps run by equally clueless players. This will make their first Eve experience more frustrating than if they were recruited into a corp that demonstrated an understanding of game mechanics demanded to protect itself from awoxers.
More practically, removing awoxing also makes also highsec corp training and intra-corp events more difficult, and removes one of the few remaining tools that can drive conflict between highsec corporations.
In my view, corporations should be meaningful and have value so players want to defend them - they should not be glorified chat channels. With that value should come the responsibility of defending those corporations for threats both external (wardecs) and from within (awoxing). Do you agree that a better solution might be to create a lower-tier corp (that is a glorified chat channel), that is immune to wardecs and awoxing, but that does not get the current benefits (taxes, POSes, etc.) of a player corp? New players and risk-adverse carebears can play there, while players who want the increased rewards and challenges of running a full player corp can still do so.
In short, what do you think a player corporation should be in Eve?

Counter-intuitive mechanics are stupid. People who push counter-intuitive mechanics to support their favored playstyle at the expense of good sense are shortsighted. And I continue to cringe at hisec's appropriation of the term 'Awoxing,' as it is a Noble and Right pursuit born in 0.0.
A player corporation is whatever the players involved make of it. Some corps choose to engage in riskless ganking that abuses obtuse game mechanics, that's what does it for them. Some would rather mine all day. Some would rather focus on tournaments. There's no one right way to play, as I covered extensively in my article on TMC, linked in the OP. |

There's no one right way to play, as I covered extensively in my article on TMC, linked in the OP. I don't see how intra-corp aggression mechanics are any more counter-intuitive than the rest of the game mechanics, especially in highsec. It may have been implemented as a byproduct of the coding which allowed corp-on-corp interactions, but has grown to serve a very real role in the training and culture (intracorp sparring) of many highsec corps. Removing it will be a headache, especially for larger highsec entities who use it routinely.
What is next, removing wardecs because it is "unintuitive" that when you join a new corporation (that is in a war) you might become a war target to someone else? Or remove suicide ganking because it is "unintuitive" that CONCORD may not be able to save you all the time?
These risks are what make the game interesting to play (otherwise everyone will just fit max yield/cargo), and are honestly the only significant non-consensual risks to players in highsec (although to be clear, dying unexpectedly to a corpmate is probably at least an order of magnitude less frequent than the other two). I agree there is no "right way" to play, but there is a "right way" to design a sandbox game - and that is to implement at least some measure of risk vs. reward balance across all activities.
If you want a 100% safe space for new players then just make one (as part of a NPE revamp?) with the appropriate levels of rewards, but highsec is suppose to be a place with risk as CCP Falcon has recently reminded us.
Best of luck on your CSM campaign.

I'm not worried about the impacts on culture or training. RvB's use case is entirely valid, and while I share your concern there, it also comes down to a comparative harms argument. To that end, Mangala of RvB and I have gone over this extensively, and we're both confident that CCP's planned implementation will be solid. Could that change? Sure, it's possible, and time will tell.
As for the rest, I don't own a set of skis so I try to stay off of the slippery slopes. |

I'll admit I was pretty skeptical of Sion last year, but as top of the Goon ballot he was getting in regardless. I've watched the summit minutes, Twitter and various other public outlets closely for his contributions this year and have been pleasantly surprised with what I've seen. Sion came in looking like a "typical meta-only Goon director" but has shown a solid breadth of capability and knowledge, not just an axe to grind for what can help the CFC. He is clearly thinking about what is good for the game as well.
I'm going to be sorry to see Mynnna's expertise in the financials go away, but Sion will be getting an endorsement from me in my endorsement post this year, despite that it is irrelevant to his election.
My only advice? More posts please, either on a blog or TMDC, whatever. Your writeup of the monument thing was fantastic. I'd love to see you post thoughts at that level of depth on more in-game topics.
The key question is: will you or Endie be top of ballot for the CFC?
Thanks for your service and proving my concerns wrong this term, Sion.

According to official Goonswarm documents and Wikis, the only group of players that the CFC are not allowed to scam are people in the CFC or who are blue to them. The same documents used for legitimate recruitment of new members from SA into Goonwaffe also provide links to guides on how to scam newer or less experienced players out of their space cash. Goonswarm even has several dummy sites hosted for the sole purpose of convincing people to provide 500Million isk collateral and a full API key in exchange for membership in goonswarm.
In fact the only time when it was against goonswarm policy to scam or otherwise exploit newbies (or any player for that matter) it was also long before members were allowed to post on the eve forums.
At present there exists no official rule or policy prohibiting candidates or members of the CSM from lying to their constituents. If I am elected I hope to change that.

I'd definitely like to post and communicate more, I certainly have a lot I'd like to say. My problem is freeing up the time for it. Being the COO of GSF, running a coalition, doing diplomacy and running our diplomatic wing, CSMing, and then real life eats up a lot of time if you want to do any of it well. I've got fantastic time management skills, but unless I can flat out add more time to the day I have to prioritize. I've space fired myself from a few space jobs to make room as is.
Thanks for the thanks too. Though it seems like you set rather a low bar to clear. Which is good. My vertical is awful. |

Sion and I haven't always seen eye to eye during CSM9. Some of that is public knowledge, some less so. For what it's worth, he is easily in the top two or three hardest workers on CSM9 and while we may disagree from time to time, I have absolute belief that he cares about the future of the game. He doesn't need my endorsement but someone who works so hard and has such passion for the game has it anyway.

Sion was the first csm to contact me at the start of the term to chat with me, reach out and get to know me. I was highly impressed, he invested time, and shared. Sion can be critical and direct which is refreshing and he s not afraid to tell poeple stuff in their face, internally and towards ccp. If anyone stands uo there its him. Just like mynna i never seen him as a goon. A decicated eve player and solid csm, he would be on my vote list, and i am looking forward to spend time with him in thr winetr summit |

IGÇÖm a straight shooter. You might not always like what I say. CCP certainly doesnGÇÖt. But youGÇÖll always know what I think, and why.
I'm curious to know why noone has addressed this yet.
I read the CSM minutes every time they're released. I read them several times over. Specific people saying specific things gets lost in the details but what I've quoted above directly violates/contradicts the publicly disclosed stance of CCP (through the minutes) and while it's not a surprise I think it's worth more than just a footnote in your campaign.
You're a volunteer peer reviewer, pretty much, from what I'm able to gather. To publicly state the things you have above is.. pretty damning really (of CCP). You're running for CSM 10, but I haven't seen Mynnnas declaration yet. Any other goon candidates this year? To be honest I haven't checked I'm mostly interested in recurring terms like yours.
I appreciate that you've avoided using lofty rhetoric for the most part. Your honesty about CCPs position on their own institution is also appreciated. I just wonder why you're doing it, again I mean. It's pretty clear the CSM is being progressively marginalised and that last year especially was a pretty clear indicator of that. And then the sudden resignations of 2 CSM members this year as well.
I would run for CSM too but not for the same reasons you do, I think.

Is this actually your opinion, and could you elaborate on whether you support this change? I was the one who proposed the removal of "highsec awoxing," not CCP. Boo, awoxing was a unique eve tradition, that often lead to hilarious losses and memorable stories.
As far as I ever saw, the major point of contention was killing another player in highsec without CONCORD retribution, without being in a wardec. So now at least one hole has been plugged. You want to kill another player in highsec without prior aggression? You lose your ship, highsec working as intended.

Wardecs are easy to avoid and suicide ganking requires a gang but little individual skill, the kick queue just allows lazy carebears to eliminate a problem without skill or effort. |
