Yes people can defend themselves, but they also have to humor troll wars that are declared by organizations with no intent of having a war against them in any military or financial sense. WINGSPAN could wardec 100 corps tomorrow then sit in w space, showing the pointlessness of this backward system. I would agree that it has problems but you haven't answered my questions, although changing an entier wardec system is a big one to answer, I will admit but, I'll shorten it down. Do you feel that Corp rolling should be allowed? Do you feel that the Wardec systems harms NPE? If so, How do you propose you fix it? Also, You are a younger player, I consider myself one as well, we both have one thing in common. You've explored for your entire time in EVE, I've been in the Merc/Wardec business my entire time in EVE. I know next to nothing about Sov Space, Lowsec, Indy, Mining and the such. I assume that it is about that same way for you. How do you feel competent enough to handled these topics as a CSM?
Corp rolling is a byproduct of wardec and corp mechanics. I don't believe disallowing it will fix anything, just cause people not to log on.
Most totally new players are in NPC corps, so I don't feel they are often the direct victims of wardecs.
I don't intend to stick my head into SOV any deeper than asking "does this make sense and is it worth the trouble compared to what we have. I would also challenge some older players to justify how they will provide meaningful feedback on new/non player experience.

Playing since 2006 here and I agree with your statements about NPE. We NEED new players, that is a fact. The thing that most Vets don't realize, yet, is that we WANT new players as much as CCP.
I'm voting and supporting you even if you only focus on NPE for the entire duration of the CSM.
If your balls are hurt and bleeding don't sit in a pool full of piranhas (note to myself: don't complain in GD)

Just a few questions.
Considering that it has been deeply ingrained in people's minds that Eve is a "space sociopath spreadsheet simulator". How do you plan to go about dispelling the bad press that surrounds eve online?
Do you intend to push for more traditional television advertisements or focus primarily on an internet audience?
If you had to pick one thing to be emphasized more/at all in the tutorial what would it be and why?
and finally
Considering all those unclaimed PLEX's sitting in your account have you ever thought about making it space rain on unsuspecting newbros?
The cost/benefit ratio for TV will most likely be terrible. I'd instead advocate for paid sponsorship or establishes media personalities with loyal audiences of gamers. Additionally there exists a lot more room to solicit and share EVE content, perhaps with more contests or incentives to produce video. There also needs to be a hard look at the use of Eve's site and landing pages to better convert organic traffic and answer common questions about the game.
The tutorial should emphasize navigation and the market much more. I don't think new players understand who or what they're buying, EVER, and Eve's world so is so different than any other MMO it is very easy to get disoriented.
And no I don't give billions out to newbros, gotta save it for a blingfit battle Zephyr.

I have to admit, while some of my colleagues think you maybe running on the "I'm famous" platform, and you don't quite has the whole 10 years of bitter vet experience, your interview and enthusiasm swayed us.
I haven't heard a person with your type of enthusiasm in a while. It's not reckless excitement, you do have a focus. I think ccp and the community could use a person like you.
Good luck in the election.

I love your enthusiasm. I love your emphasis on narrative, and on helping new players.
You remember the part of the "This is EVE" video where an Erebus appears and someone shouts out "oh my God that's a titan?" Have you ever seen the original video that produced those comms? I am unable to find it now, but the video shows a camera zoomed out far enough to show the entire POS that Brave Newbies is attacking. Below the POS is a tiny yellow box which eventually resolves into an Archon. While they're talking about their options (the Archon is destroying them) an Avatar appears above the POS. It is visible if you are looking for it. Nobody notices. Time passes. People keep talking. The line that made it into "This is EVE" isn't uttered until the titan fires its doomsday weapon across the entire height of the POS at the Archon, destroying it. It is impossible to miss that!
But is it not remarkable that one of the most impressive ships in the game, 14 kilometers long, can appear on grid with a small fleet that has never seen a titan before without anyone in that fleet noticing? Do you have any ideas to make EVE more cinematic? |

This is a good point and I don't think it would take much to help make gameplay more immersive and cinematic. There should be, for instance some changes to the DEFAULT overview to make it more obvious who and what lands on grid without requiring the memorization of 250+ ship names.
I also think there could be a window, or a targeting UI default, that shows your currently selected or targeted item up close. A window in a window. That way while you can stay zoomed out for tactical awareness, this window will show you what your target looks like and what is generally happening to it. You essentially then are interacting with SHIPS and not BRACKETS AND CROSSES. This would be resource intensive potentially but all client side and optional.

I think CSM would greatly benefit to have you as a member as you can provide much needed, new player perspective.
My concern is, how would you balance making EVE more accessible to new players with maintaining its unique player base? EVE has always been a place that tiger happy sociopaths, much like yourself, fell very much at home. What can be done to encourage high sec carebears and new players to venture into low/null/wh space without to much of a protective umbrella over them?

I don't know if it's strictly necessary to convince new players and/or carebears to leave hisec. Hisec has a unique environment that you can't find anywhere else. I think a healthier approach would be to ensure hisec is fun, so that people don't have a "need" to leave it. From there players should be given information and direction about the rewards... and risks... of other areas of space.
That said, I think the Prospect and the Sisters of Eve ships were great moves in the general direction of deep space encouragement. These cool, exploration-focused ships basically begged players to take them into spooky space, and I can tell you I've seen many of all of them floating around wormhole and nullsec systems. Creating more accessible, cheap ships with bonuses that aid in scanning, navigation, and cloaking all help the little guy get into and out of dangerous areas more reliably (with practice).

This will be the very first message that I leave on these forums.
Dear Mister Chance - In real life, I am a young man struck with an unfortunate medical issue that cannot be cured or overcome, and throughout my life this has caused me a fair amount of grief and depression. Spending an awful lot of time alone at home in between of hospital visits, I was constantly bored with life, and I found it really hard to meet people and make friends.
So I browsed the inter-webs for a game of social nature. EVE online was mentioned frequently as not only a social game, but as a whole world separate to the real one we all live in where the players controlled their own fate. Intrigued by the idea of it all, but far from convinced that the EVE universe was all that it made itself out to be, I went onto YouTube to do further investigation. That's where you come in!
I quickly came across your videos and I thought they were hilarious. I watched every single one of them, even though I sometimes barely understood what was going on since my knowledge of the game was non-existent, and I was thoroughly amused. Seeing what crazy adventures you were able to have in the game and the interactions you had with other players (or customers!) was what convinced me to download the game and throw myself into it. This was about two months ago now.
I am still very much a newbie. I learn tons of new things every day. And I make a lot of mistakes. However, since I started playing the game, I feel an awful lot less bored with my life. I met great people to talk to, and I feel like the whole experiences has greatly affected my mood in a positive way. For the first time in many years, I got really "into" something. For that, I will be eternally grateful.
I will never be healthy. Nor will I ever have a "normal" life. But at least, thanks to you, I have a chance to be happy. You have my vote, and the first kill I get in my Purifier that I just purchased a few days ago will be dedicated in your honor. |

As many as it takes. Though I also understand Leelo is rewriting the white paper to more specifically outline responsibilities/roles so perhaps it will drastically change what CCP is looking for from CSM this year.

Hey, since you are kinda exploration focused and have some WH experience, I wanted to ask you couple things: - Do you consider yourself a "wormhole candidate"? - What are your views on the current state of wh pve, with lower-classes on one side and c5/6 capital escalations on the other? - Whats the best way to get more people living and flying in wormholes? What are the biggest hurdles atm? - Any thoughts on T3 rebalance?

Then wouldn't a candidate who's been around longer, who's had time to experience EVE at all it's edges be a more acceptable candidate for CSMX? You don't want to stick your head in SOV then a person who understand SOV and Exploration would be a better choice.
An experienced EVE player will always be a better choice when it comes to things like this, because they have a better idea of the Balance that it is. NPE, High to Null and W-space. I personally do not want a FOTM Candidate that only wants to be CSM because he see a problem with a small facet of his time in EVE. When a player who has had time to look at EVE in a grander picture can see the large problems far better.
I understand that you like the game. But I do not think you should be voted into CSM due to this reason. Sorry, But good luck.

I personally consider myself a wormhole candidate even if others consider me a daytripper. I will not pretend to know everything about w space, but I do intend to listen to the wormhole community very closely if elected since the health of w space is something near and dear to my cold black heart.
I don't see there being a problem with the disparity of operations and rewards in different types of systems. Although perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question?
The best way to get more people in w space is more active recruitment and propaganda by w space corps and alliances. There is also the larger problem of getting more EVE players to force the existing ones into more remote and risky space. I've also heard, but haven't personally seen, w space farmers moving to incursions for a variety of reasons, but it's another piece of evidence that risk/reward should be properly balanced.
Regarding T3s, do you mean balance between the T3s, or balance with T3s versus other ships?

If you are seeking wormholers' vote you should go and talk to us more, have a chat with corbexx (the incumbent WH CSM rep), get on WH podcasts, talk to some WH groups, get the feel of the community, give them chance to be wooed by your enthusiasm.
^Those three things I asked are what we all care about very deeply. For example T3s are the backbone of our fleets and they will very likely be getting a rebalance pass during your potential CSM term, so you should have some idea what that should look like (ie. versus other ships, roles, etc.).

I'll say this, even day trippers are wormholers. Chance is kind of split with the wormhole groups atm. It's wierd but he's on par with the other wormhole candidates minus corbexx atm (you could see his as a good or bad thing). Just be careful trolling the wormhole forums. We bite if provoked.

Would they be getting an advanced character, items, ships? What kind of incentive would CCP be giving them?
An important question. As I stated in the interview it's important these people do not receive a ridiculous in-game advantage, since CCP should not be using its marketing to play favorites, as it were. In my background as both a marketer and a gaming "journalist", there are a few approaches I've seen.
The most common is simply to give players a free "review copy" of the game with an agreement that the content creator will produce a set number of videos, articles, etc. in exchange for the free software. Now, EVE is different since it isn't a boxed product per se, but it could certainly be arranged for a subscription period (3 months, 6 months, 1 year etc.) or a boxed collection (EVE Collector's Edition).
The boxed collection in particular offers the additional value in asking/requiring the producer to also review the physical goods, create an unboxing video, etc. Some people out there may not even be aware these kinds of products exist.
Another type of agreement may consist of pre-creating several mid-level characters of various archetypes. A miner, a mission runner, an explorer, etc. and giving these to a player in exchange for an X-part series featuring each of them. This would require a more formal agreement.
A third option (which is most likely to be considered distasteful, but should still be considered) is to hire a PR firm to directly pay the targeted personalities to play EVE. These gamers would be contracted to receive $X per video/media produced, with previously agreed-upon topics, length, etc. They would have to disclose their sponsorship to their fans, but would otherwise be relatively free to approach the game as they please. This type of contract would be the most formal, but also the most likely to yield results due to the best incentives and the binding nature of the agreement. However, these players would still not be receiving any type of in-game advantage or exclusive benefit.
Of course, it is hard to advise on the type of route to take without knowing CCP's budgeting details, their previously completed endeavors, general player data/segmentation of high-retention players, etc. They're just examples of high-level templates to work from, based on what I have seen work for other companies.
