Sugar Kyle Snuff Box Snuffed Out 808	Posted - 2014.12.03 14:36:08 - [1] - Quote I am Sugar Kyle and I will be running for reelection to CSM X. During the last year I have worked to repay the trust that you showed when you elected me and I believe that I have been successful. I promised to communicate. I have. I have written my weekly posts where I list what I am involved in and give my opinions and thoughts. I have been running Open Q&AGÇÖs where anyone who would like to come talk to me on neutral ground can do so. I am available almost every day in my chatroom in game and I spend most evenings talking about Eve in game, through both eve-mail and e-mail, as well as twitter, Skype, the forums, and comms. I attend Eve events, both local meets and larger gatherings such as Eve Vegas. I promised to work. I have. IGÇÖve been an active member participating in meetings, forum posts, and skype chats with CCP. I heavily participated in writing the minutes which we released to the public six weeks after the Summer Summit. I have focused on quality of life improvements generated around PvE. Some broken level V missions have been fixed. Suggestions like like warping your fleet to an escalation have been added. I was also the push behind rebalancing escalations so that sites escalate through high sec, low sec, and null sec. I have been active in the community collecting the feedback of the playerbase and taking that to CCP as major changes have been released one after another. I promised to listen. I have. My time on the CSM is about listening to the players and bringing that to the table. Many issues have multiple sides. I may have my own opinion and those that I represent have another. I will bring both of them with me. There is no one way to look at Eve and I believe that the voice of the players creates the soul of the game. This position is as much about listening as it is about speaking. I have been willing to listen to opinions and ideas that are contradictory to my own and been willing to accept and represent gameplay different from my own. I came to CSM9 on a platform to bring attention, awareness, and improvement with my focus on low sec. I believe that has happened. CSM9 has taught me how to fight the good fight and bring things to CCP. Low sec is in a better place but that does not mean that it is perfect. As CCP moves towards changes to null sec, low sec will be affected and that effect must be accounted for. The changes to power projection have changed the dynamic of low sec and we have to make sure that low sec remains the uniquely interesting place that it is. My time on the CSM has encouraged me to expand my knowledge of Eve. I may live in one area but I represent players from all over the game. To me, this position is about improving Eve for all of us. It is about preserving the unique things that the players make. It is about bringing to CCP what Eve means to its players and bridging the gap between development and what players have created. NPC null sec needs love as well. Sov Null may be a major topic on the table but that does not mean other things cannot be improved along the way. We have challenges coming in 2015. Corporations, alliances, and starbases are on the table. These are all areas close to my heart. They are also areas where I have spent time and effort this last term collecting player input and opinion to give back to CCP as they revamp these important game mechanics. There are so many things to do. War Decs need to be discussed and looked at against the future changes for corporations and structures. Markets and Contracts need attention. IGÇÖd love for boosters to get a serious rebalance as well. PvE has received attention and this needs to continue. The entire PvE experience needs to be improved and expanded in all sectors of space. IGÇÖd love for there to be more dynamic and active ways to mine for those who wish to do industry in more dangerous areas of space. I am asking you to elect me again. The CSM has made me appreciate and love this game more. I have the time, dedication, and experience to help improve Eve. Eve is what we make of it and I am here to, with your help, make it the fantastic place that we all want it to be. My CSM9 Candidacy thread.

Jaysen Larrisen 21	Posted - 2014.12.03 15:20:50 - [4] - Quote You've got my vote no questions. I've found Sugar to be open and provides thoughtful discussion and feedback when you engage her as a player. Additionally, it clear from the CSM Summit minutes that she was bringing quite a bit to the table that were direct askers / request from the player base and that is appreciated.

DaeHan Minhyok Multiplex Gaming The Bastion 32	Posted - 2014.12.03 15:25:38 - [5] - Quote I have been fortunate enough to meet Sugar Kyle on several occasions in real life, as wellas talking to her in game. Although she is the "low-sec" candidate she has displayed a deep knowledge of every aspect of gameplay that i, and other players, could think to ask about. She clearly understands and immerses herself in the community and approaches all game ideas, and game related issues with an open mind and considers the positive and negative effects of all options on all parts of the game. A vote for sugar is a vote for a sweeter Eve, and q closer link between CCP and the players. As an eve podcaster for over three years i whole heartedly support Sugar Kyle for her bid for CSM X.
Mynxee The Retreat 29	Posted - 2014.12.03 15:30:20 - [6] - Quote You'll get my one account's vote, no question. Although I've been tuned out somewhat when it comes to CSM stuff, your presence and work in the community and in-game are apparent and impressive. Good luck in your run for CSM10! ====== Lost in space somewhere, probably playing poker for ISK at EOH Poker.

Wex Manchester Snuff Box Snuffed Out 64	Posted - 2014.12.03 17:56:55 - [11] - Quote +1 from me. Sugar's been a terrific CSM member, and not just for low sec residents. Seriously, if you love Eve, Sugar should get your #1 slot on your ballot.
Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative. 15838	Posted - 2014.12.03 18:45:33 - [12] - Quote Sugar Kyle has very obviously worked super hard to reinforce the CSM as a whole as well as her own constituency issues. Even if you don't care a fig about lo-sec, you should still find a place for her on your preferences list, because she makes the CSM as a whole a more effective entity. Analogy: Sugar Kyle is a CSM damage mod "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his ISK/hr depends upon his not understanding it!"

I realize that much of the CSM discussions are under NDA, but what can you tell us about your own feelings on where this should go?

Lorelei Ierendi State War Academy Caldari State 12	Posted - 2014.12.03 22:10:03 - [17] - Quote Sugar, I've been reading your blog, of course, and appreciate the time you have taken from your busy CSM life to support new players. What would be the most urgent change to the New Player Experience that you would like to see pressed through? Hello, world! Lorelei for CSM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=386664
Sion Kumitomo GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 218	Posted - 2014.12.03 23:30:53 - [18] - Quote Please elect Sugar so the minutes keep getting done on time. And I guess if you want someone to represent lowsec because she's great at that too but mostly because of the minutes.
Sabriz Adoudel Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 3900	Posted - 2014.12.04 00:14:31 - [19] - Quote I will follow this campaign with interest. Your work improving PVE in dangerous space is a good thing. Level 5 mission hubs aren't proving themselves a resource worth fighting over at the moment, but they have the potential to become one if there's further work done on them, and so there's definitely elements of your work I support. I particularly endorse the decision to add more low-SP oriented PVE to lowsec, making it more of an option to move there permanently as a rookie player fresh out of the tutorials, and I think you are to credit for this (correct me if I am wrong). Going to throw you a question. When I was a rookie pilot, I was terrified of lowsec, after I made the usual mistake of buying a skillbook in lowsec and nearly getting killed collecting it. Now that I know it better, I know that lowsec is fairly safe if you take precautions and fly agile ships. How would you communicate the basics of lowsec safety to new players? Chaos. Opportunity. Destruction. Excitement... Vote #1 Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10
Rhavas Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 330	Posted - 2014.12.04 05:23:10 - [20] - Quote Supporting Sugar for CSM is your basic no-brainer. Even if you're not a lowsec resident she should be very high on your ranking. She'll be the top non-wormholer on my ballot for the second year running. She has worked hard, communicated well, and would get my vote for CSM MVP this year, from the outside looking in. Keep up the good work Sugar.

A clear, understandable, customizable, flexible interface that gives a corporation choices. I would like to see along side them the implementation of social groups or clubs to support a greater network of player connections.

Only one? IGÇÖd work some aspects AuraGÇÖs tutorials into the first mission of each agent line with the ability to see if they have already done it with another agent. That way they could learn to use stargates, activate acceleration gates, and open containers while diving into game activities. It would also take away the current process of undocking in a pod and going to get their ship. People get confused here and lost. I think that is bad and it doesnGÇÖt make any sense to teach new players to randomly find ships in space. Start them in their ship be it in space or in station. The pod step is needless and they get shot and warp off in a pod anyway in the combat missions. Some of the CSM have been keeping track, internally, of a lot of common questions that we are hearing. I think these are very low hanging fruit. Questions that we see half a dozen times an hour can be included or explained. But, we need to restructure the entire thing. We need to use adult learning principles to create something more engaging. Something that leads people into the understanding of our open world where the player, not the game, makes choices. Discovering what you want to do in Eve is very hard. Bringing information to the surface will let people make their decision as they dive deeper into the game.

The pod step is needless and they get shot and warp off in a pod anyway in the combat missions. The best part of this is that if for some reason you quit before undocking to pick up your ship, then log back in, you get a notification from Pend Insurance offering condolences for the loss of your ship(!), and offering you... a rookie ship, ready and waiting in your hangar. The worst thing about the NPE is that it only really flows if you do everything the way it's intended to be done, and of course new players are going to do everything except what's intended.

Yes, I was the advocate for bringing low level exploration to low sec when the static DED complexes were removed in December of 2012. I donGÇÖt teach safety I teach awareness. Awareness gives you the ability to react and make choices that will hopefully keep you alive. And that making all the right choices can still not end well due to the unpredictable nature of low sec. I teach it by flying with them, sharing my game day with them, and showing them what I do and why I do it.

Alan Mathison EVE University Ivy League 10	Posted - 2014.12.04 17:13:12 - [27] - Quote Hi Sugar! You are one of the three CSM9 members I've heard the most about. At this point I'm quite happy you're running for re-election. This will be the first CSM where I have been able to vote. (Yes, new player. :) ). I'd like to ask you some questions I'm asking the candidates I'm seriously considering, if I could. Space has become littered with abandoned POS structures. What is your position on getting rid of them? I'd like to see, perhaps, a orbital degrading mechanic once the fuel is gone. This, then would open up the moons for pilots that will actually use them. The current mechanic, of course, involves Wardec-ing a possibly abandoned Corp and then sitting there for an extended period of time blapping the structures. I think something better is quite possible. EVE seems to be popularly seen as more than a game, perhaps moving into the hobby realm. I'm aware that some discussions have been held with regard to finding a way to bring a more casual player or a more casual play-style option into EVE. Would you advocate this? If so, how might this be done without fundamentally changing the nature of the game? Would it? It seems a given that CSM X and CCP will look at dealing with the SovNull question this term. Beyond that, from a gameplay perspective, what would you advocate as the next priority? EVE players seem to be quite passionate about the game, yet it is said that the voting rate for CSM elections is lower than that of even the United States midterms. Does this diminish the validity of the CSM? What would you like to do to combat the voter apathy that we see and effectively educate the voters on the reality of what the CSM can effectively do? Finally, and most importantly, do you like cats? :-) Thanks so much! -- Alan Mathison Proud Sophmore, EVE University

There is a link to my blog post in the topic as well as some comments. I would like to steal peoples abandoned towers. Hacking, decreased shields, decay mechanics. I donGÇÖt believe you should be able to just have abandoned expensive structures hanging around in space with twenty four hour warnings for you to online them.

If so, how might this be done without fundamentally changing the nature of the game? Would it? Giving people tools to play their game instead of trying to build the exact game play that you want them to have will allow each person to create their version of casual, medium, or heavy gameplay. I cannot tell you what is casual. You may consider my casual gameplay to not be casual. Then we are off telling each other how to play Eve and there is no need for that. An example would be if missions became more dynamic where if a player were offered better missions if they headed across space but kept the same rewards if they were content doing the work they were currently doing. Instead of forcing them to travel across the game which may eat into the hour they have set aside for a game play session they can now make the choice of what to do with their free time that best suites their personal game. Alan Mathison wrote: It seems a given that CSM X and CCP will look at dealing with the SovNull question this term. Beyond that, from a gameplay perspective, what would you advocate as the next priority? Fortunately, CCP does several things at once. While Sov will be the major topic for CSMX we also have corps and alliances and POS that are happening at the same time. They are just as large. These things are all intertwined. Plus we will have complex topics inside of Sov such as structures and how they work in the game. Many of these structures such as POCO and POS are shared outside of null sec and changes to their usage have to be looked at globally.

Does this diminish the validity of the CSM? What would you like to do to combat the voter apathy that we see and effectively educate the voters on the reality of what the CSM can effectively do? Voter apathy is hard to combat. It is hard to combat in Eve and it is hard to combat IRL. I do not think that it diminishes the CSM. I think that it gives more responsibility to the CSM to make sure that they are looking outside of the CSM active player base to see how changes will affect those who do not tune into the metagame. I am not a marketing person and I do not have a marketing strategy to give you. We can only put the information and ourselves out there in as many formats as possible and try to raise awareness by doing.
