Chance Ravinne WiNGSPAN Delivery Services 30	Posted - 2015.01.15 19:25:44 - [1] - Quote o7, capsuleers. Ten months ago, I was a nobody. An explorer with an empty wallet and dreams of exploring the galaxy of New Eden. Today, I'm still a nobody. I don't have any political power or connections. My corporation is staffed almost entirely by people whose PVP experience could be summed up on a fortune cookie label. I spend my nights exploding industrial ships and composing sarcastic EVEmails. When the mood strikes me, I post videos of these exploits on YouTube for an audience of mediocre size. So, why should you believe I can make a difference in EVE? Ask the 1,000+ people I have gotten into EVE Online via referrals. Ask the 500+ retired EVE vets who have emailed me to say my antics got them back in the game. The 20,000+ people who have read my exploration and stealth bomber guides. The 400+ people who have waited weeks and weeks to join WINGSPAN Delivery Services. The dozens of "victims" who have paid me for killing them. Those numbers all mean something, and they don't mean "Chance is great." Those numbers mean there are people out there, a LOT of people, who are ready to believe in EVE Online. Some for the first time, some after years of bitter cynicism. These are people who are excited for the possibilities EVE has now, not just the dream-inspired promises of CCP and CSM candidates. These people are inspired by the crazy idea that they don't have to wait for content to happen. They can create it, they can be it, and they can share it with the world, including outside of EVE. I share their passion and their optimism. I do not come to this forum with a bag of "fixes" for EVE - that is the job of game designers and analysts. Instead, I come to this forum with the promise to be a voice for progress. A voice for content. A voice for everyone who is ready to dive into the next epoch of EVE Online with probes launched and torpedoes loaded. Give your voice a chance. Because if there's one thing you know I will do with a promise, it's deliver on it. o7 You've just read another amazing post by WiNGSPANTT, the 4th Best Commentator on YouTube!

SUZY was instrumental in my EVE development, someone who selflessly taught me the ways of nulsec and steered our corporation throught truly tough times.

Seraph IX Basarab Hades Effect 513	Posted - 2015.01.15 23:50:57 - [3] - Quote I really like your videos and I think what you're doing is great. Your videos are great simply for the fact that not everything eve pvp related has to be "leet pvp." So it's all very down to earth, relateable and most importantly funny. I have to ask, what is your platform? What issues will you seek to address? How? Best of luck to you. Hades Effect

I can certainly understand your skepticism. But ask and you shall receive. The only numbers I've blocked are the ones that would tell people exactly how much they could rob me for, if they were so inclined. While retention is obviously not 100%, it is very high - and I'd also guess that for every person who actually used one of the referral links, there's another person or two who just jumped in because they had $15 to burn. I hope at the very least this establishes that I am above the corruption of ISK-based bribery! Quote: You also sound like some nut job I saw in a Youtube at some point.

Chance Ravinne WiNGSPAN Delivery Services 37	Posted - 2015.01.20 06:31:17 - [10] - Quote As a CSM candidate, I want to focus on three vital areas of EVEGÇÖs short and long-term development. They are initiatives that have already proven their value to the community, which is all the more reason CCP must continue to push and refine these initiatives. MODERN MARKETING NEW(ER) PLAYER EXPERIENCE BUILDING THE EXPLORATION BRIDGE MODERN MARKETING If youGÇÖve talked to your non-capsuleer gaming friends, you know the public perception of EVE Online is terrible. GÇ£ItGÇÖs too late to bother.GÇ¥ GÇ£ItGÇÖs a spreadsheet simulator.GÇ¥ GÇ£I donGÇÖt have enough time.GÇ¥ GÇ£The learning curve is too hard.GÇ¥ GÇ£Everyone is a sociopath.GÇ¥ Tens of thousands of potential customers have been turned off without ever stepping into a pod GÇô a complete shame. This may sound like a strange focus for a CSM candidate, but until the widespread myths about EVE are dispelled and CCP takes a more modern approach to their advertising efforts, the company is throwing away millions in lost opportunities. I bring my professional experience in branding, copywriting, and marketing to the table for CSM X. IGÇÖve created successful campaigns for corporations here in the real world, and I know how to get gamers interested in even niche titles like EVE. As stated earlier, IGÇÖve already referred thousands of players to the game, but IGÇÖve also been heavily involved in promotion for other titles via my YouTube channel and at Top Tier Tactics, my previous gaming strategy website. IGÇÖve also branded and built my own corporationGÇÖs website from the ground up, and itGÇÖs been very positively received. Currently, I see a great number of opportunities for improving EVEGÇÖs reach to the gaming public, including but not limited to: GÇóStrategic content arrangements with gaming press across multiple regions GÇóInternally produced or community outsourced tutorials and introductions GÇóExpanded efforts to promote external media creation from within the community GÇóVideo content partnerships with popular influencer channels GÇóPPC/SEM advertising campaigns to convert prospects at all levels of interest GÇóA refined acquisition funnel with more thoughtfully constructed and tested landing pages * That is to say people significantly more popular than me. NEW(ER) PLAYER EXPERIENCE Of course, you can lead a horse to water, but you canGÇÖt make it press F1. We can get millions of people to try EVE, but the reality is that EVEGÇÖs new player experience sucks. If I remember correctly, newbie retention rates have been estimated near 10%. That number is abysmal, but imagine the difference in player population if it could be bumped even 5%. EVE would be infused with new pilots, cashflow, and content at unprecedented rates. So whatGÇÖs to blame for the state of player retention? Most obviously the tutorial, while much better than it was in the past, is convoluted. There are almost no explanations for basic game concepts, such as the different types of navigation, the relationship between ships, pods, and your avatar, etc. Simple stuff like purchasing items and fitting your ship are basically a mystery. Think about how many elements in the game are downright invisible to new players. If nobody outright told you, youGÇÖd have no clue that you could learn a skill to overheat your modules. YouGÇÖd have no clue how to overheat your modules. You wouldnGÇÖt know what heat damage was, or that you could repair it. Even if you bought nanite paste, you still wouldnGÇÖt know how to actually apply it to your ship! New players need direction to avoid the feeling that GÇ£there is nothing to do.GÇ¥ We as experienced players know this is a naïve assumption, but someone whose trial is about to expire canGÇÖt be asked to just believe the game gets interesting. They have to be shown the possibilities and offered reasonable advice on how they can do it. GÇóIncreased emphasis on finding and joining player corporations GÇóIn-game tools, data, or records to help evaluate a corpGÇÖs activities and trustworthiness GÇóAdditional career agents or career paths (PI, Incursions, FW, etc.) GÇóA more refined GÇ£masteriesGÇ¥ system with more obvious career-based guidance GÇóBasic, intermediate, and advanced navigation training GÇóExplain d-scan and the goddamn camera controls to people (continued in next post) You've just read another amazing post by WiNGSPANTT, the 4th Best Commentator on YouTube!

Chance Ravinne WiNGSPAN Delivery Services 37	Posted - 2015.01.20 06:36:33 - [11] - Quote BUILDING THE EXPLORATION BRIDGE When I look back at my EVE career thus far (however short it is compared to those of most players), I see how wonderfully far the career path of exploration has taken me. Starting with a pitiful Imicus probing deep into nullsec, I learned brutal lessons in navigation, intelligence gathering, wormhole mapping, combat scanning, and interpersonal diplomacy. Before you know it, I was capable not only of funding my misadventures, but also hunting the competitors who once threatened my existence. In the past few years, weGÇÖve seen CCP promote exploration more and more heavily. TheyGÇÖve promoted special explorer DLC packs for Steam to encourage newbies to scan the stars. They built Sisters of EVE ships well-suited to handle all types of deep-space content. TheyGÇÖve created new locations in the form of shattered wormhole systems, and launched difficult sleeper caches to test the wits of adventurers. We are now at a point where the bridge is almost complete GÇô the bridge that can carry enterprising newbies from know-nothings to seasoned pilots unafraid to engage anything and anyone in all security sectors of space. If CCP can successfully leverage its massive population of explorers, there will be few limits to the amount and types of content they can create. GÇóExpand hacking to PVP roles, including hacking warp bubbles and abandoned POS sticks GÇóMeaningfully differentiate hacking and archeology, or combine them and be done with it GÇóContinue to expand upon wormhole space with even greater rewards for daytrippers GÇóFix problems and reinstate a meaningful risk/reward balance for ESS and siphon units GÇóExpand on exploration mining to give miners higher risk/higher reward options GÇóRevamp the beta map to provide meaningful information while traversing w-space I understand not everyone will be interested in exploration, and that's okay. Because more exploration means that no matter where you live or what you do in EVE, the content will eventually come to you. And by giving explorers more meaningful ways to interact with other players (either via direct combat or by fiddling with their property), we can increase dynamism and ultimately have more interesting stories to tell.

Of all the CSM candidates, I am probably the least experienced EVE player. You could say I'm not a Reykjavik insider! While I played a two-week trial in 2008, I couldn't figure out how to warp anywhere and uninstalled the game. When I came back this year, I immediately moved into nullsec exploration, where I learned all about navigating and surviving lawless space. During that time I was part of a small exploration corp for a short time, and then was taken in by friendly explorers in Vale after I got lost one fateful evening. After learning a lot more about how EVE worked, I decided I would head out on my own to further my covert ops career. I read up on a great deal of stealth bomber strategy, including the operations of both large groups (like Bomber's Bar) and solo play (by Chessur) and ventured out into wormhole space to find targets of opportunity. I began my corporation, WINGSPAN Delivery Services, and quickly accumulated applicants. These were returning players and people who were no longer interested in traditional corps with rigid structures and schedules. We worked together to get "okay" at wormhole scouting, navigation, reconnaissance, and mapping, and now we're one of the larger independent corps in EVE! There are many dozens of hot topics in EVE, and I don't want to waste your time -- are there any particular subjects you'd like to hear my thoughts on, other than the obvious "when will we have an in-game Mastery Track for ship spinning?"

Killian Trystan Unity Ventures 0	Posted - 2015.01.30 18:48:33 - [18] - Quote Was interested in being a stealthy kind of guy in-game ever since I started playing a little over a month ago, mentioned it to a friend and he linked me to your stealth-bomber videos. Since then I've watched every single one of your stealth-bomber videos, trained up for exploration (and gotten my self an Astero fitted out), and now I'm training up to use a Manticore.

Does your channel function as publicity for your campaign to get on the CSM or does a position on the CSM function as publicity for your channel? I'm an optimist, but I understand that my influence as a CSM member would be limited to that of a (very vocal) communicator. I don't have illusions that I will be doing more than bridging the wishes of the community to the strategy of CCP, and vice versa. I also understand I would have only one voice among many CSM members, but that's why being a good listener and taking a diplomatic air have value. Realistically speaking, my channel functions as publicity for literally everything I do in the videogaming world. But it should be obvious the channel is not a tool for the purposes of winning a CSM race, or even for the purposes of EVE specifically. I have been making YouTube videos since 2008 because gaming strategy and humor fascinate me. I don't see the CSM helping my channel particularly.

War Dec dodging? Is there a AFK cloaker problem? Why or why not? What changes to the game do you like so far? What do you think needs to be fixed? I'm sure I will have more. These things fall somewhat outside my platform, but here are my thoughts: HISEC IN GENERAL In general, I really like hisec. I know that may sound strange, but for me it is the only area of EVE that always feels like an MMO. It feels vibrant and alive, with people who will respond to you in local instead of fretting over opsec. You can see interesting ships pass by and not ** your pants worrying they will yellowbox you. WARDECS AND GANKING I don't have a problem with ganking, bumping, or wardecking in concept. These are all things allowed in the sandbox. However, I think the options available to the victims of these acts are poor, especially with wardecs. There is something wrong with a system when the best solution to an entity wardecking you is to quit playing the game or dissolving and reforming your corporation. Primarily there is no fiscal incentive for most "victim" corps to fight out a war, so giving up is usually the least fiscally damaging option. As far as suicide ganking, the best suggestion I've heard (not mine obviously) was to change how security status affects you. That dropping negative will very quickly give you a suspect timer, because yes, ganking people constantly is suspicious! This makes it so that ganking is still just as possible as it is now, but one cannot cruise around with impunity until the millisecond before turning on his modules. CLOAKY CAMPING I rely hugely on cloaky camping for my activities, so I have a lot of experience there. On the one hand, I think 90% of players overreact to having a single neutral in system. They imagine the "worst" and are paralyzed with fear. Heavens forbid they lose a single Ishtar! On the other hand, there should be some kind of counter to long-term cloaking. What about a deployable structure that disables cloaking within "X' AU around it, but requires active anchoring (i.e. you must sit at it to anchor it)? Something like this could force the cloaky's hand, especially within a set area and time frame. But it also requires the launcher to correctly guess the camper's intentions (and also limits their own option to cloak). Ultimately, I think cloaky camping should be addressed, but I don't believe it is a game-ruining problem that should be prioritized over other, more important matters. EVE CHANGES** As far as "changes to the game so far" what time frame do you mean? Because there is a big difference between changes in the last six months versus all-time changes to EVE!

Phoenix Jones Isogen 5 1040	Posted - 2015.02.03 01:12:16 - [33] - Quote A deployable wouldn't work. If you were to deal with perma cloakies, it would have to be a ship or a module on a ship. Give the players the ability to Hunt cloaked people. While that would benefit the nullsec camp, it would mess up a good hunk of wormhole space. Heck we'll have people inside a enemy hole for MONTHS watching their movements, trying to capitalize on what they do. Giving them a defensive module that would destroy the scouts ability to scout... What effects one area of space, effects all area's of space, some with benefit, some with negatives. Just be careful with what you may ask for, because it may wreck a different area of gameplay. FYI, good email to the corp last week. :-) Keep up the good work. We need actual happy players out there. Yaay!!!!

While it may have little effect on highsec denizens and players without the need or skill to use capitals, it certainly does affect basically all of nullsec, especially the blocs. Sorry not sure where you thought I said anything like that...? You quoted me asking which changes someone wanted me to comment on. Indubitably jump changes have affected Eve, I think only a fool would dispute that. I somehow misread what you'd written. I blame it on the cold medicine. Disregard. I still support Chance for CSM X.

Fugue Crow SergalJerk Test Alliance Please Ignore 8	Posted - 2015.02.06 17:18:10 - [42] - Quote Chance is a big part of what got me rolling solo bomber PVP and helping to restore SergalJerk to its glory as the best small gang covert ops corp in the game. He's inspiring, he's charismatic, and he seems to have an attitude that suggests he really wants to improve the marketing of this game and get more players in. More players = more targets = more deliveries = yes. Chance, your opinions on hisec are quite valid, but bumping and hyperdunk setups having no consequence is something many players find toxic. Do you think it's a good idea for suspicious activity that leads to setting up a gank to generate a suspect flag, which offers the opportunity for counterganking to become a playstyle? Example: I'm flying a Bowhead, hauling thirty quadrillion isk worth of ...idunno, compressed marauders. Some hoser slams a Machariel into me, and knocks me off my alignment. I attempt to re-align, and he bumps me a second time. At this point the Machariel goes suspect, giving him a choice: risk being fired on or risk me warping off. Suicide ganking right now is too formulaic, and player skill has almost completely left it at this point - everything's solved. Adding this element of risk and counterplay would put a LOT of fun back into it. Sure I might ship my bumper down to a Stabber, but it would definitely not reduce the number of players suicide ganking. Heck, it might become a good way to get fights in hisec, too, through escalation and bait-bumping. I get a couple bumps on with my Mach, and his Stratios buddy uncloaks to try to countergank. Now we've got a fight on our hands, and it has turned suicide ganking into a form of bidirectional PvP. It would also open up the game to more new players that don't understand or like the concept of bumping having no consequence to the bumper (which is absolutely stupid from the perspective of both law AND physics). By the way, I love your idea of a cloaking inhibitor. This would create a very interesting shift in playstyle - but there's one problem. Gate camps - and cloaking being one of the few ways to escape certain styles of bubble camps. Just keep that in mind if the design goes forward. Another question: what do you think about faction warfare plex farming? Personally I think there is a large part of the community that has a problem with it, and I had an interesting thought about how to solve it. What do you think about interdictors being able to launch warp disruption probes, but only inside a faction warfare complex that an interdictor could normally enter? It's definitely not a hard counter to them warping away (they can MWD out of the bubble unless you land a proper tackle) but it certainly adds an element of risk to a playstyle that is currently (much like suicide ganking) very solved and very stagnant.

I am concerned the EVE codebase doesn't provide enough support for bump triggers -- plus there are so many interactions naturally at gates and stations that innocent players could get flagged without having done anything wrong. CCP's attempt to address this with their latest Higgs Anchoring Rigs is a step in the right direction: providing modules that give players ways to avoid bump-griefers (but still requires planning and trade-offs by capsuleers). I'd also like to see changes to the security standings system, though it's a very sensitive area and should be treated carefully.

Perhaps a more balanced structure would simply cause all cloaks to slowly draw more and more capacitor the longer someone is cloaked in system. So a transport passing through for a minute wouldn't really be affected, but an AFK player would be caught with his (stylish grimdark) pants down.

I literally know nothing about FW balance, so I can't really comment intelligently here! It sounds good in theory but it's also counterintuitive. I'd rather see CCP make changes to the way rewards are determined than to upend the meta entirely with a singular exception to longstanding rules about empire space.

Valkin Mordirc 625	Posted - 2015.02.12 06:16:19 - [50] - Quote Your stance on Wardecs in General is what would be the decided factor for my vote on you. Although I agree the system needs to change, there are a few things I would like to have addressed. For the most part you seem to under the belief that the 'Victims" Of a wardec are just that Victims. From my experience, rarely are defending corps often have several things in there advantage. The First and Foremost being numbers. Common decced entities like Brave Newbies, and the such, out number every Wardec Alliance corp out there. They lose massesively because focus is not applied to the Aggressors. But when they do put focus they end up kill a neat amount of ships. (Lookin at you Drop Bears) Other smaller corps often have the advantage of having the Aggressors having to come to them, in their home systems. Home system were the targets are have the ability to have a counter ready to undock. For the most part from what I've seen, The Victims of Wardecs are only Victims because they allow themselves to be the victim. There are exceptions. But if you create or corp made of sub 4 month players your bound to get hurt, Is that a problem with EvE in your eyes? EvE was built on the idea of actions should have reactions. With that, I ask, Do you feel that Wardecs are a problem due to Older players picking on younger Players? You use of Victims seems to make me seem so, Personally at least. Or do you believe it is underlying layer that belongs with the NPE and the tutorials not properly explaining things with detail? If you had free reign to change the Wardeccing system, How would do so? War dec Dodging, a corp closing once it is decced, and reforming with the same name, Do you feel this is an issue as it basically defeats the wardec feature as a whole? Or do you feel that Wardecs are unbalanced in the favor of the Deccer that it is a necessary need until the system can be reworked? Thanks for the response o/ `#DeleteTheWeak`

As someone who went though the NPE as a solo player, I think the only thing stopping me quitting was my extreme stubbornness. Any improvements to the NPE and tutorial will be positive for the game, and combined with improved marketing (This is Eve II! ) could improve the player numbers by a significant factor. One thing I would like to put out there is that all the marketing in the world won't work until there is a better NPE. 10 million people trying the game and quitting does nothing but put strain on the servers. But, if Chance sticks to this platform, he should absolutely be in your CSM shortlist.

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.

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?

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 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).

Sataric LaCroix Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2015.02.14 12:38:17 - [72] - Quote 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.

Sataric LaCroix wrote: 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.

I would also challenge some older players to justify how they will provide meaningful feedback on new/non player experience. 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. `#DeleteTheWeak`

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? You've just read another awesome post by Chance Ravinne, CEO of EVE's #1 torpedo delivery service.

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.

BroodAlpha Noir. No Not Believing 1	Posted - 2015.02.22 15:14:37 - [93] - Quote Of all the applicants in the CSM, I like you the best. You're a newer player and you don't have an agenda for yourself. You create content, you share it with others via YouTube and because you're not in any of the major power blocks, you don't have any political issues in the game. You don't inherantly dislike anyone for their past exploits in the game, you deliver torpedoes mercilessly to complete strangers without prejudice. I don't know you personaly but in my opinion it doesn't seem like you're in it to boost your ego like so many others. You're in it because you played the game, you created a successful corporation, and you think it'd be cool to be on the CSM for the experience and to share your views on the gameplay you love. I feel like when CCP bounces ideas off you, you will give them due research and time. This is why I think you, out of all the CSM applicants will be the best person to analyse current and upcoming CSM topics. I'm a very harsh and critical person and have already posted negative thoughts on other people's CSM campaigns. I don't praise people often but out of everyone that has applied for CSM, so far you're the best candidate in my opinion.

We never blackmailed anyone. We extorted them. Your friend specifically told me that WINGSPAN was "not the reason" he was quitting streaming. You quoted me saying I think streams should show players the game is interesting. I believe may of the streamers' viewers learned exactly how dynamic EVE can be. If someone wardecced E-Uni, it would present corp leadership the opportunity to teach its students how to evade war targets. My ego is already plenty boosted by this incredibly sexy orange jacket. And no, I don't believe in spamming anyone with "HTFU" messages, and if anyone in my corp has done this to you, I would like to see the screencaps so I can reprimand them.
