Joffy Aulx-Gao
Stay Frosty. A Band Apart.

[1] - Quote
Greetings, My name is Joffy Aulx-Gao and I am excited to announce my candidacy for CSM XI.
I have been playing Eve full-time since 2013 and proudly serve as the Diplomat for Stay Frosty and the A Band Apart Alliance. I have participated and helped organize many of Stay FrostyGÇÖs FFA in-game events, and fought in the NEO Tournament as well as the most recent Alliance Tournamant. I was one of the first players to join Stay Frosty and have been instrumental in working alongside Rixx Javix to make it one of the greatest Pirate Corporations in New Eden. But I am most proud of the friendships and connections that I have made over the years and I believe strongly that Eve is one of the greatest community of players in the world.
I probably come to Eve from a rather different perspective than most players. I have a form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Pompe Disease. This means that I am primarily confined to a bed or a wheelchair, mostly due to problems with my back. And I can only move my hands, fingers and face. Playing Eve was extremely challenging at first, but IGÇÖve learned to adjust the UI for less mouse movements and work around my inability to talk on comms. I donGÇÖt believe in letting my own challenges stand in my way and I suppose this fighting spirit is the real reason I want to represent you on the CSM this year.
My platform is built around helping players from all walks of life enjoy Eve. And to see it continue to expand to include more players from all backgrounds. Certainly my own situation has inspired me to help those in similar situations understand that they to can enjoy our wonderful game. But I also want to focus on Low Sec space as itGÇÖs my home, because I believe this area within the game still needs a lot of attention.
I want you to know that I will be your voice and that I am ready to earn your vote. IGÇÖve never taken anything for granted, and serving the players is something that I will do with pride and distinction if chosen to do so. There are issues that continue to persist in Eve and these need to be addressed, our voices need to be heard and I will strive to be the conduit thru which they can be.
As Diplomat and Director in the A Band Apart Alliance IGÇÖve had the distinct pleasure of working with our Corporations in all areas of Eve, from piracy, to industry, wormholes, and most recently, with Null Sec Sov. I strongly believe that this perspective has given me a unique ability to understand how they all work together to create a better environment for all of us. And IGÇÖd like to see those connections expanded in the near future. We stand on the edge of drastic change, with new and exciting additions to the game being added quickly. It is more important now than ever to have knowledgeable and experienced players representing you on the CSM.
Player issues are ever-changing, but I have spoken to many players and these are some of the ones I believe elicit the strongest opinions (in no particular order):
- That warfare links needs to be changed so itGÇÖs not just a required tool for regular PvP but a tool thatGÇÖs risky and more activity focused, not just an alt in deep space.
Suitonia has some nice ideas on this matter written on his blog here https://suitonia.wordpress.com/
- T3 dessies are dominating small FW plexes way too much nothing can really challenge them so i suggest banning them from small FW plexes and let them only enter medium and large.
- Ban Warp core stabilizers from FW plexes! Ok on a more serious note, the Factional Warfare system needs to reward PvP and willingness to fight, the best tactic to make ISK should not be to run away.
- With the new changes for battlecruisers it would be really nice to have a FW plex where battlecruisers is the largest ship that can enter.
- Many of us know how annoying it is when we have so many chat channels in the same window an arrow shows up and we canGÇÖt see all our channels, would be so nice to increase the number of chat channels we can see before the arrow shows up.
IGÇÖd love if the disabled among our community came to me with ideas so we can make EVE better and more accesseful for all of us.

I am asking for your support and your vote in the CSM elections. There are many dedicated and worthy candidates, and I hope to be among them when the time comes. Thank you for your consideration.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and flying with Joffy for a while now.
He's incredibly passionate about the game, very helpful and a deadly pilot.
He's always thinking outside the box with fits and tactics and lends a helping hand to all players in the alliance
If anyone was to represent lowsec, it would be the man that calls it his hunting ground
I endorse Joffy for CSMXI

I can't say enough about this courageous and amazing young man. He consumes Eve with a determination that is breathtaking and amazing to watch. And he doesn't let anything stand in his way. It has been my honor to fly with him and trust him over these past two years.
I cannot recommend Joffy enough and he will be getting my full support and my vote.

Joffy is one of the nicest, most sincere, and dedicated players you'll ever meet. He's knowledgeable about many play styles, inquisitive, thoughtful, and smart. He'll be getting one of my top tier votes not just because he's a friend, but because I think he would be an excellent CSM member. Just as his RL challenges do not prevent him from achieving remarkable success in-game, they will not prevent him from achieving remarkable success as a CSM either.
Best wishes for a successful election, Joffy! <3

A pretty solid support here!
I plan on running as well, but the writeup you made is quite professional considering the forum formatting imitations. I suspect my support will go your way as well.

I've known Joffy for the past two years. He's always impressed me with this knowledge of the game and level-headedness.
Personality-wise, he has the rare combination of being highly skilled but not letting it go to his head. He's primarily a low sec pirate but has spent time in wormhole space and has an appreciation for the environment and culture there. He can be ruthless and unforgiving in-game while still being a pleasant person to talk to or debate with when the fight is over. In talking with him over the past few years I've found that he has a lot of good solid opinions but is also open to revising them based on a valid argument or new information.
I was impressed with Joffy even before I found out about his condition, and can personally attest to the fighting spirit he mentioned in his OP. For all these reasons I strongly recommend you consider voting for Joffy.

Joffy is a very engaged player that seems to have a level head when it comes to gameplay and mechanics. He's a very nice guy that is always willing to discuss solutions to a problem, instead of simply complaining.
He's also very active in the EVE community. Always helpful in the Broadcast4Reps channels and chatty on Twitter, he's proven himself to be a solid member that gives EVE a good rep.
The only complaint I have is that he's not in my corp. But, like I always say - if you don't fly Brave, at least Stay Frosty.

Good luck, bud.

Great to see you running for CSM as well Joffy!
You will certainly be getting my vote!
I have known Joffy for well over a year and have spend time alongside and against him in space. Anyone facing Joffy's guns is pretty sure to perish as his skills and knowledge in the game rival those of the best players in EVE Online. His deep understanding of the game itself make him supremely skilled and a good judgement on whats right and wrong with current and future game-mechanics.
Additionally and more importantly Joffy is a credit to his alliance ABA as chief diplomat; his patience and excellent communications have contributed to calming dire, difficult situations. I have personally witnessed his charm on this front.
With these two great attributes combined I hope to serve alongside you at the next CSM sir!
All the best and count on me for support!

Seeing a few people in this thread who I respect, which is awesome.
Even though I haven't known Joffy personally, have seen him in space and seems like someone who has no problem diving into PvP. Also, +1 for low sec. You shall have one of my votes at the very least, sir. o7 |

I cannot state enough how strongly I support Joffy's run for CSM. This fellow is active at super-human levels, always participating in this event or organizing that event. His dedication, loyalty, humility and openness have made him an invaluable asset to ABA as an alliance, and to the EVE community as a whole.

Joffy
I'm glad to see someone from low sec running.
You mention a few things about faction war. There have been 2 things that players pushed for and ccp said they would do years ago to encourage pvp in faction war plexes, but they never did.
Those 2 things are timer rollbacks, and better intel tools so we can defend plexes. Preferably the latter would be some sort of intel tool that would allow faction war pilots to have real time intel on where plexes are being taken so they can go defend the plex before the timer expires.
Here is a post that discusses this a bit more in detail: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6082412#post6082412
Unfortunately ccp never managed to get these changes in.
Would you push for these changes if you were elected to csm?

Hello Cearain
I'm glad you came with constructive feedback.
I've lived in factional Space the last 2 years as a pirate shooting everybody so i'm aware of all those farmers and i want to somehow make it better to fight for your PLEX than run away, whether it's timer rollbacks or rewarding pvp more, Something has to be done.
I'm a bit unsure about the Intel thing because if it will be tied to notifications every guy in FW will be spammed to hell and back, it will not be much else than annoying.
If you got time one of the upcoming days feel free to convo me ingame. I'd love to hear more ideas and feedback.

Joffy Aulx-Gao
Thanks for the response Joffy.
I think the intel may have been through the use of the map as opposed to notifications. I don't really care how they do it. If people wanted to turn off (or filter the notifications to be within a certain jump range) that would solve the problem of spam. IMO it doesn't matter how they deliver the intel. I certainly agree not everyone in faction war would use this intel. But those who like to fight for sov definitely would.
IMO CCP needs to follow through with their promises on both of these measures so rabbit plexing can be constrained. That is the key to making fighting for sov fun. And I strongly suspect eve would do much better if there were some fun sov wars to fight in as opposed to just random pvp.
Giving people rewards for pvp (in an unexploitable way) is unlikely to change much. But it wouldn't hurt.
I'm happy to talk about all sorts of faction war proposals and topics but IMO most of them won't change very much. The two proposals I mentioned are the most important proposals to change fw sov warfare from the fightless alt grind it currently is.
I would be interested in knowing if CCP still would like fw sov to be won by pvp or if they are happy with the current alt rabbit plexing system. They seemed pretty content from the csm X minutes.
BTW the top 3 vp gainers for faction war in the last week are: 1. Orn Lorn 2. Monk-Black fast 3. xFleuryx
I can't post killboard links but feel free to look these guy's killboards up yourself. vp is gained when you complete a faction war plex it will either increase the amount the system is contested if you run offensive plexes or it will decrease the contested level if it is a defensive plex. So these "warriors" did the most to help contest or uncontest systems for their faction. Is that the vision?
I get the stats here:

Last week I had the pleasure of having a short conversation with Joffy on slack. I had first heard of him at Eve LA when Lantana Grey and Lanctharus were discussing his candidacy. Joffy is extremely articulate and thoughtful, and is willing to listen to other view points that conflict with his own. My only worry is that he will have a difficult time getting his voice heard during remote calls at the csm summits. I've heard this voiced by a few other people that I've talked to. Joffy, can you address this?
