I'm currently the Director for Education, Recruitment and Human Resources for the Brave Collective. I've held this post for the last six months or so. IGÇÖve gradually added to my portfolio since I took over as the head of Education a bit over a year ago.
I'm a relatively new player to Eve, I've been playing for only about two years. I joined Brave Newbies in its infancy, and quickly came to love the do AND die attitude that we hold dear. I also love our spirit of focussing on the new player, and being a welcoming and accepting place for all newbies.
I love this game. I love its infinite complexity, its difficulty, its incomprehensibility. I love that it's really about people, and not about clicking a button over and over again. I love that when you play it, you can get embroiled in a war that spans the whole galaxy, or you can live in a single system, a single station even, and play it to a great depth of complexity.
I love that we have ancient characters with millions of skillpoints and thousands of hours of playtime coexisting with one hour newbies who don' t know how to undock.
I love that we have a vibrant community that is alive with interest and culture, our own gatherings, fan art and fiction, and an incredible diversity - with players from all around the world coming together to kill, scam, support, educate, entertain and delight each other.
I've never found anything else like it.
In my role as the head of the Infernal Repairs Division, I have been responsible for more newbies than any other person in the game. Under My stewardship, The Brave Collective has gone from shitfit destroyers in Rahadalon, to trading punches with the heaviest hitters in the Game. I am proud that our education department, the Brave Dojo, has become a true force for teaching and education within the game.
I cannot, of course, take credit for the hard work of our other leaders, of our tutors, of the bittervets who sit in our Help channel and donate hundreds of hours a day to teaching newbies the error of their ways. Nor would I want to. It's our players who make us great - I'm just trying to herd them towards a common goal. However, IGÇÖve guided and cajoled, threatened and wheedled us into something great, and now I want to represent the new player in New Eden to the game.
Bob knows I'm no expert on the game. I'm pretty terrible. I DON'T know who the major players in the game are. I DON'T know the history. I DON'T know the lore. I DON'T even know what a jita is. (some sort of minmatar probing frigate, right?) I DON'T know the best way to nerf an Ishtar.
I DO know newbies.
Brave and a lot of the other newbie friendly organisations do a fantastic job of attracting new players. Go sit in a help channel or trawl reddit for a while, I'm willing to bet that within about 5 minutes you'll see someone recommending Brave as a good place to start in the game. I love that - I love that people come to try us as a jumping off point. I hate that so many of those players never come back after their trial ends. I have the benefit of never kicking inactives, so I can see the damage that our failure to capture those newbies has done. IGÇÖm sure there are many thousands more, whoGÇÖve passed through E-Uni, RvB, Test, the Goons. Our new Player Experience is failing our community.
I want to change that.
I want to make it easier to look after new players. I want to see a full suite of tools become available to a corp leadership to make it easy to manage newbies. I recently gave some feedback to CCP Rise and Mimic about this very subject.
My platform is simple. Push the newbie agenda. Push the expansion of the game. Push the retention of newbies, push the new player experience. Keep them coming in. Keep them interested. Keep the game alive for you and for me.
I'll ask a million dumb questions every meeting. The other CSM delegates will get sick of answering them. I will not represent a bloc, or a faction, or a specific interest group other than the newbie. I represent the new player, and I represent corporations trying to assist them.
I am engaged in the Eve Community, having visited (and presented at) my first Player gathering at the Excellent EveDownUnder. You can see that presentation here.
I know that Brave doesnGÇÖt have a fantastic track record with CSM candidates. ThatGÇÖs a given. Matias Burned with revolutionary Zeal, but was unable to reconcile his real life obligations with the responsibilities of the CSM. I have a proven track record of working to accomplish goals, and I believe I am up to the challenge.
IGÇÖm very approachable, I listen to advice, even if I donGÇÖt always take it, IGÇÖm open to new information, and hope that IGÇÖll make an excellent representative.
I ask you for your support.

That is my Boss! Without him Brave had never no free Skillbooks, Frigates, Implants, PI-support, Newbro Classes, Travel Interceptors. He is not only our beloved Head of Infernal Repairs and Human Rersources, rigorous watch dog over classic behaviour, respectful alliance culture and corp mails (DO NOT SEND CORP MAILS or Cagali will eat your Innards with Vegemite for breakfast!) - he is also willing to help every Newbie with any question any time.
Thanks for your reliable and continuous commitment for da Brave thing and good luck for the 10th CSM. |

Thanks for the Question.
I come from Brave, so I actually love being on the receiving end of wardecs. I know a lot of people don't though, and I know that newbies are often crushed by wardecs. I don't know how I'd change the Wardec Dynamic, but nothing should remain static forever: that's what makes this game great.
I've flown freighters and been ganked, so I feel the pain of your victims. Having said that, I watched one of mine and admire the craftsmanship and professionalism that I saw there. I'd hate to see a loss to the game of that form of gameplay. Having said that, I do feel that there could be a way to add a complimentary style of gameplay: Maybe adding the ability for a player to act as the Police instead of only (seemingly) encouraging the Pirate.
I don't believe that Highsec should be pvp free, and I am an advocate of non-consensual Pvp. (even if it hurts me personally)
Sov: Being new to the Sov game, I know that giant, pre-scheduled timerfights are less than optimal. I'd love to see some change there, and I see the scope for New players to Access Sov WITHOUT the giant blob power of Brave, or Massed and serried ranks of Supercapitals.

Cagali,
I've been pondering that myself. The problem, IMO, is that changing corporations/alliances often involves changing locale, and there is no "transition period" for moving stuff. Take HERO, for example: if you're not in HERO, our home region of Catch is dangerous. If you're in HERO, HiSec is dangerous. Nailing that transition is tough, and beyond the understanding of most newly-recruited newbros.
Best idea I've hashed up is a 3-day grace period after joining a new corporation before its wardecs apply to you. Trick would be making sure people can't exploit it; perhaps your previous corporation's wardecs still apply to you 3 days after you leave it? (That would also close up the loophole of members leaving their corp temporarily to avoid a wardec.) |

There are newbies who make it in EVE and newbies who don't. Without this man, Brave would be full of unsubbed accounts of newbies who did not make it. He is a champion of the newbie and is directly responsible for countless success stories of newbies who learned enough about EVE to love it. Plus he has a sexy voice. You got this dude. +69 |

When I look back at all the things the Brave Dojo has accomplished in the last two years I'm quite stunned. What started as a chat channel with "idiots helping idiots" has grown into an institution. Some, hehe, are even copying this institution in homage to what it has done. You reinvented a wheel we didn't even know needed reinventing. Good work and I hope CSMX enjoys making conversation with you as much as I do. 7o |

The Dojo is one of the best resources that I've encountered in any online game. No longer do I have to google-fu and hope that the article from four years ago about a semi-obscure topic hasn't been changed. Newbies helping newbies sounds like the blind leading the blind in theory, but it's more of like a pool of information. And the spais are always generally helpful. Looking at you, REDACTED. |

Thanks for the question, bisu. Im glad you ask. As much as i respect Matias' vision, he was utterly unable to reconcile his RL work/life and Eve balance. I've been active in the Brave community for two years straight.
I hope i can convince you of that. |

That people are getting in simply because they are being put forward as representatives of alliances and coalitions concerns me greatly.. Not to be an ass, but a small corp's need for representation is neither equal to nor more important than the right for a massive coalition to have CSM representation. That's representation by population, and it's democratic. Furthermore, simply by being associated with an alliance or coalition does not invalidate your own credentials nor does it hinder your ability to represent players on the CSM. We've seen some of the best CSM members in recent history hail from these coalitions.
TL;DR - check yourself
Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.

Cagali not only knows newbies and how to teach them... he knows how to get OTHERS excited about newbies and how to teach them - as evidenced by players like myself who devote their playtime to teaching newbies as well.
The New Player Experience is, easily, the single area of Eve with the most potential for growth and improvement. In all my travels, I've never met a man more suited to this monumental task than Cagali. He taught me, he taught me to teach others, and I'm confident that on the CSM he'll be able to teach CCP a thing or two... thousand. |

+1 the fresh blood of the game is easily overwhelmed, BRAVE have done an excellent job of showing new players the ropes and encouraging them to help each other out. There are still a lot of things to consider about how new players are treated however. |

+1 from me
When I joined GRRKA who belongs to NAGA and therefor to BNI I got thrown into the meatgrinder of F9E(?) with several hundreds of BNI newbros in Maulus-¦s and the most impressive part outside of all the PL supercaps was the morale of BNI fleets. Welped by the hundreds I felt like a lemming but the morale of these newbros were unbreakable. Several big fleets later it was still the same. I occasionally join the Dojo mumble channel and listen in just for personal enjoyment and while one might argue with fittings, doctrines or other stuff you can-¦t deny the amount of enthusiasm that is put into the Dojo and the impact it has on the newbros. I often heard that BNI is used a stepstone to get into null and from there into some other coorp and some people don-¦t like it but I think as long as the majority of the Dojo trainees take the BNI spirit with them everything is fine. We need a steady flow of new players into EvE and supporting this is worth my vote for sure. |

A god amongst men. #1 on my voting list.
The only reason not to vote for him is that he will not be able to dedicate as much time helping the new bros who want to brave Null Sec.

Hi there,
Some questions because it's campaign now :
1- What would be your word in CSM X for WIS ?
2- For Project Legion as an important element for Eve Online ?
3- For Valkyrie so that it could be linked with Eve Online ?
You want to be the voice of newbies.
Which one ? English speaking only ? How would you represent other language community and how do you do this each day in Brave Collective ?
Sorry for this inquiry.
Your application is interesting. So, we want to know a little more about you before voting.
Thanks and best regards.

Gday Mate, Sorry it's taken me 2 weeks to reply to this.
As far as the NPE experience goes: There is a Massive problem with the way Newbies are dumped into the game and left to fend for themselves. The Tutorials are horrible, despite their apparent revamp a little while ago. They're clunky, far too wordy, and teach the new player to PVE.
CCP's stats show that if PVE is all you ever do in the game, you're going to leave very shortly. That needs to change - Players need to be engaging with the Community in Eve - which is the real drawcard anyway.
I'm confident that, should I get elected, there will be one guy sitting at that table saying: "How's that going to get more players to subscribe past their trial? Have you thought about how difficult that will be to explain to a new player through a tutorial window? How are you going to offset the pain that someone like me is going to suffer trying to get newbies to do that?"
I'm keen to get new players into this game, and keen to have them stick around. I'm confident that I will be able to assist in that occurring.
I'm Hoping to be elected to CSM 10.

I hope you mean Walking In Stations by WIS, otherwise my reply here is going to look pretty dumb.
I am personally a fan of Walking around. It's a welcome change to Ship spinning as I sit around, reading mails and (hopefully) CSM stuff. I am disappointed that we don't have hats, and I'd like to see some fat characters around.
I've played Dust. I have a couple million Skillpoints on my Brave Bunnies toon, and I'm interested to see if Legion can improve on Dust's strengths while avoiding it's shortcomings. I have a hope that one day, I'll be able to storm onto a Supercarrier, kick the Capsule apart, and tear the pilot apart with my bare hands. Or use a land based battery to annihilate a fleet in orbit. Or use shaped charges to blow up those irritating PI colonies that are right in the middle of the juiciest resource band!
I'm excited about Valkyrie. I'd want to play it before I decide whether or not I'd like to have people with that level of control on the battlefield.
I'm a fan of More. More is great. More things to do, more ways to have fun. More ways to engage and interact. I'd love it if we could harness all those people playing Dust/Legion and the hordes that will likely try Valkyrie, and bring them into our magnificent community.
I'm Hoping to be elected to CSM 10.

Thanks, Cagali, for this answer.
We like your enthusiasm and open-mindedness.
And are OK on your vision of things.
It's a very serious diplomatic position in CSM.
So, we will first wait and see other candidate's campaign.
And we will after ask to our organization agents to endorse some good candidates.
We must confess we like two candidates at this moment.
And you are one of them.
Best regards.

Dude booted my alt out of spite for using 'jewing' as a verb in alliance chat 2 days after my main left Brave before I could sell all my assets.
I don't think this is the kind of personality you want on your CSM this year.
Chat logs of why he booted my alt, he also set BroodAlpha -10 to Brave. The guy has hissy fits over everything.

The new bro agenda is a high priority for me this year and will strongly influence who gets my vote in the CSMX election. You'll have a slot on my slate but assuming BRAVE rallies on your behalf, I reckon you shouldn't have any problems getting a seat. 
I can envision the many ways you might bring your experience with new bros to bear on CSM discussions. Since it seems we can expect CSMX to be involved in lots of discussion about sov changes this year, what do you hope to bring to that discussion?
What are your thoughts about the Opportunities dev blog released today?

I may not always agree with Cagali's quest to make everyone feel at home in BRAVE, but without his amazing work with all the fantastic newbies we have EVE would be a lot less welcoming to new players. If there's anyone who's gonna really help especially new players and make sure they get the voice they deserve.

BroodAlpha wrote:My negative post on Cagali's application was deleted by an ISD because for some reason we can't post in-game correspondence.
Basically the tl;dr is that he kicked my alt from Brave Newbies after my main left before I had a chance to evac my stuff.
The reason? I referred to making money as 'jewing' and he called me a 'stupid f**king idiot'.
I posted the same logs on a reddit post recently and everyone agreed that he is not the kind of person we want on our CSM.
To ISDs, if you're going to snip out correspondence, ONLY snip out the correspondence and don't EVER edit my post to look like positive praise for a player that is clearly an a**hat.
You deleted the correspondence and half my post to try to look clever.
Hi Brood!
Thanks for your post here and on Reddit. I read both. You're incorrect in a few areas, however, which I feel I should correct, just a little bit.
You weren't only kicked for your language as described above. You were kicked because of your repeated and persistent use of racial, homophobic and anti-semitic slurs. Sure I lost my temper - I'd personally warned you a number of times about it. I don't like people inflicting their prejudices on the rest of us.
Good luck out there mate,
I'm Hoping to be elected to CSM 10.

Thanks for the reply, Mynxee. That such a distinguished former CSM member would say so make me very happy, and I hope I can be worthy of your kind words.
Brave Lives in Null. We moved here, and we're planning on staying for a bit - at least until we move into Thera when the Drifters take over the universe. What can I bring to that discussion? The Point of view of a huge alliance full of new players who are trying to get to grips with the mechanics of Null and the stagnant nature of the place - something we feel deeply, even in the most content rich region in 0.0 space.
I don't want Sov to be the domain of a handful of mega rich and supremely powerful players, I want it to be vibrant, and alive, and I want to hear the pitter-patter of tiny newbie spaceships rattling around the joint. I want to see Malcanis' Law used to the betterment of the New Player Experience - which I think is easily possible.
The Opportunities Dev blog is exciting. I'm yet to play through them all, but they look very promising. However, one of the biggest criticisms of the tutorials were that they trained a new player for a life of Solo PVE, which is categorically unsuccessful in retaining new players, and utterly fails in introducing people to our awesome community.
I don't see that this is much of an improvement in that regard.
I'm Hoping to be elected to CSM 10.

I think it could be. Opportunities like "Enter a Wormhole", "Mine Arkanor in NullSec", and "Harvest Gas in a Wormhole" encourage newbros to explore NullSec and W-Space earlier on. Further opportunities like "Fight Another Player in NullSec" or "Fight Another Player in a Wormhole" will inevitably get the newbro blown up, which is often Step 1 of the Recruitment Process.
How many more newbros & new factions plant their flag in NullSec depends on how easy it is to steal an empty system in the new sov rules. Even HERO has quite a few empty systems I could imagine new alliances planting their flags in.

You say you understand new players. New players or the lack thereof are going to decide if EVE continues to thrive or wilts away slowly in the coming years.
I do think Brave has clearly done many things right. When I would visit Barleguet in 2014 I would often be impressed at the numbers undocking to pvp, mine, probe, gatecamp, and so on.
However I have never played in Brave and have not had the pleasure to create any Brave spy characters (exactly what a spy would say) so I have not had the pleasure to read your corp chat, forums or hear your Teamspeak. What is it that Brave does to engage so well with new players and capture their imagination?
What do you think it is that we the players and they the devs can do to reveal the Fing awesome aspects of EVE when they are 3 months in and already feeling the drudgery of running some missions in hi-sec?

You have my vote because being in BNI , I am able to see the work that you and all the others players are doing for us ,the newbies. If it wouldn t be the Brave Newbie community , I m sure I wasn t playing this game anymore. So, If you will represent newbies in CSM, as you do in our corporation , than you should be there for us!!!
Also I wanna thank you now with this opportunity for everything that you are making for us. Or maybe I should send a corporation mail with thanks? Nahh, I don t wanna dye before my time! :)))
Good luck!! |
