I don't mean to be probing, but something seems a little off. Some more indepth explanation would be good... but I have some concerns.

Zero Posts on the forum.

What seems like 0 wormhole experience.

Just left Sniggwaffle (been in and out of them).

Just started a alt corp for yourself claiming "wormholes". Your corps been around for 3 days, your the CEO, with 1 other guy in it.

Something doesn't pass the smell test.

I'll edit or remove this if more information from the candidate arises (everybody deserves a fair shot).

That's cool, but I still can't put some of your history together. One of the first things people look at is the kill board. This month, catch, last month, nullsec, more nullsec, and more nullsec. The most I've seen out of the kill board regarding wormholes, outside of what seems like a 6th month long layoff (happens to everybody) is a vargur and a Mack in w space. That and your loss of a guardian to a bomber ( I would love to hear the backstory on that one).

You seem to be primarily nullsec. Now to be a wormhole candidate doesn't mean you can never leave wormhole space, but it seems like you haven't sacrificed to BoB enough to really be put on the pedestal of a wormholer. If I am wrong here, please let me know, I have no issues with correcting my above assertions. Now if you are a guardian pilot I can get why the kill board looks like that (fly logi myself). But let's get past the conspiracy theory for a moment. Is there any wormholer you know, in your corp or alliance, who can speak to your character, play style, personality? While I may seem a bit skeptical, we really don't know who you are at all. What makes you want to be a wormhole CSM candidate?

What are your opinions on the previous and current wormhole csm's? That being Corbexx, Asayamami Dei, Two Step, James Arget, Chitsa Jason. Have you spoken with any of them regarding their experiences, future or past changes, etc?

Welcome Bane, It is good to see another candidate with the time and commitment, willing to spend the effort required to represent the wormhole community.

I, as many of us, are very interested to see, just what you have in mind, the core ideas are sound, but as they say, the devil is in the detail.

Please give us the opportunity to support you, by expanding on the points you raise, we do need more to go on than just a few points from the wormhole little things thread.

I suggest you reach out to corbexx, he has been a masterful CSM, and a good example to follow. If you can convince him of your merit, and have his support, you will gain many supporters.
He has earned the respect of the wide community, and If you can match his efforts, insight, and communication abilities, you will also prove a worthy candidate.

Good luck, and I for one will watch with great interest.

Can you please tell us what type of wormhole you been living in and what you been doing in the wormholes . Tell us some more about you please.

If wanted to get into wh space but I always felt like it was kind of scary for newer people.

Hi Bane, if your interested i'm going to be holding a CSM X wormhole debate. I have sent you a in game mail about the details.

Holly TwoStep balls.. I dont even know some of those. Dont be so cruel. In the end running for CSM to represent a group does not mean you have to know them. What it means is you have to understand them. Not sure how it is in this case though. shrug.

Do you live in a black hole? If not why are you so eager to petition for changes to someone elses home? I live in a black hole system and rather like it. Yes some things are more difficult but that is part of the charm as well as the balance.

Why does there need to be an equal number of people wanting each weather? Does this same idea apply to ships? Weapon systems? Anything else?

Do you intend to ignore everyone that doesn't toss you a softball question, or do you enjoy ignoring dialogue from people in the community you are campaigning to represent? You are quite possibly the first wormhole candidate I've ever met that I actually want to go out of my way to make sure you get no votes.

You really need to round turn your campaign or you are assured to have no chance at representing anyone this year. Your chances were slim before now, but as it stands I know for a fact you aren't even being considered by some wormhole groups.

im not really sure what you mean here but are you actually saying that there should be more home site content in WHs? because if you are, that the complete opposite of what the actual issue is.
the vast majority of high end WH corps run pretty much all their PVE in their home system, farming sites with capitals.
this leads to low content all around since it is extremely safe for them to do.
if anything, corps should be encouraged to venture out of their home system to run site, not the other way around.


this was done already


what are you basing this on? most of wspace is very empty and it is easy to find even empty HS static C2s, which historically were always full.
It take very little effort to find an empty WH of any class for a new corp to move into.


More ore sites is not the solution here. ore is freely available in wspace because no one mines it.
a big part of this is the move of ore sites from sigs to anoms which is something i firmly believe was a mistake and should be reverted.

That's cool, but I still can't put some of your history together. One of the first things people look at is the kill board. This month, catch, last month, nullsec, more nullsec, and more nullsec.

I'm friends with Dmitry, and knew the Aesir from the Ragnarok days, but I don't think I've ever dealt with or heard of you, unless you are running on an alt. I'm on my last leg of the game, but I've been in very active in wormholes since their inception, and I am skeptical of your experience. Personally, if I saw your corp history alone, I'd say you look like an alt. But to each their own. I'll discuss my thoughts on your ideas below.


I lived in C5's for a loooong time, and if we really wanted content, we could always make it. If you are having issues with content in your wormholes, it may be the people you're playing with... I think you may need to diversify your experience before proposing changes like this.


I don't support the concept that wormhole effects need to be "balanced" to be more aligned because they don't want to diversify their skill training. Wormholes aren't rookie mode, and to be "good" in wormholes over time, you should have a more diverse skill portfolio. In my time in wormholes, I've flown tons of various doctrines and ships, and when our guys wanted to play in a particular "bonus", we would create ship/fleet comps for a doctrine, train for it, and test it. Game mechanics shouldn't be altered in this case.


No. Create a better scanning/exploration/(maybe wormholes) tutorials or missions, but absolutely NO changes to wormholes to make them easier for new players. It isn't "new player" content, so if they really want to live and play in wormholes, go for it, and learn through the losses. The best wormholers/players learn through loss.
