Hello Bronson,
I am glad that you are standing up for what you believe in. As much as high-sec needs a change for the better you are definitely talking to the wrong crowd. Do you understand that you are talking to the Wolves? When have the wolves ever outnumbered the sheep? Player, if you want to become a CSM you need to leave the woods and visit the pasture with the other grazing creatures. Why do I say this? Well its quite simple, you are in one of the smallest corporations in Eve with maybe 3 alts at best to vote for yourself. Lets say you get another 10 votes from the people that clicked your CSM thread(we get quite a few each year), and another 20 because people like your friendly name.
You do know that most CSM members get 500+ votes to hold office? Hell I bet Tora got way more than 500 but still it wasn't enough to compete with the masses. You need to either be in a major null-sec alliance, have a popular YouTube channel, be agreed upon by the Wormhole powers that be, or be loved amongst the RvB community.
What do all of those examples have in common? They are community based. Every Null-Sec CSM talked about Null-Sec changes. Every Wormhole CSM talked about wormholes. You should get the idea from here. If you are to really makes waves in an election you'll need to be popular amongst all of high-sec. What makes up the majority of the high-sec player base? Incursion runners(+2000 people), mission runners(+2000 people), miners (+2000 people), traders(+2000 people), industrialists(+2000 people).
Which community are you presenting to? Mercenaries and gankers(-2000 people). Honestly if you are building a campaign that is this laughably outnumbered and think it's worth the time, I don't know if I could ever vote for you. Like seriously, your math sucks. I'm not saying I don't like your ideas but is having sex without a condom a good idea too?
Mercenaries and Gankers are a dying breed that is heavily outnumbered by the protected sheep of high-sec. I believe the only thing we can do to preserve our species is to honestly not talk about it. CCP knows that wars help make a sandbox but they also know that the PVE community(+10,000 people) enjoys Eve in its current state. The last time CCP tried to nerf incursions they redacted their change within a week. The less we talk about wars, the longer we get to keep our way of life.
For your CSM platform, if you really want to be a CSM, you should take my advice and socialize with the sheep. Join the incursion communities and make yourself well known, join the hauler channels, join RvB and help out their community, learn how to edit videos and get subscribers on youtube, AND most importantly train your Reddit game because its the new forums of Eve. Your only path to be a seating member of the CSM is to have the carebears KNOW you and LIKE you and to drop the merc/ganker talk. Anyways I hope you enjoyed my advice and as always you do you.
My 2 cents,
Zeus
