Hello friends,
I hereby announce my candidacy for CSM XI!
Last year I ran for CSM X - I didn't make. I did however end up 22nd out of the 76 candidates, which was an amazing accomplishment. This has only encouraged me further as I know that I can make great contributions to the CSM, and that is why I'm running again for CSM XI.
Who am I? My in-game name is Bobmon. I have been the CEO of Evenews24.com for 2 years now.
I started playing EVE Online in 2010 following an introduction by a couple of my friends who had their own Dutch corporation. This corporation was part of an alliance that had an active war going on at the time I joined. I was a brand new player and back then you couldn't really get involved with PVP so I decided to make a new alt, fly over to the location of our enemy, and see what they were up to. After a bit of chatting, I got to know them and they asked me to join. I then began relaying intel to my friends, and so I'm very proud to say that my first task in EVE Online was to be a spy!
From those humble beginnings, I have progressed in my EvE career and experienced many aspects of gameplay including:
Quote:- 0.0 Nullsec Warfare: I have been a part of multiple 0.0 alliances with whom I fought many battles! - FC: Started in 2011 and from that point on led everything from small subcap fleets to capital fleets. - Alliance Leadership position: Second in command & Head Diplomat of Unclaimed. - Mentor for new players: IGÇÖm currently a mentor for members in Pandemic Horde - Evenews24 Chief Editor and CEO - Part of the Evesterdam Organisation team - Player Presenter: Was one of the presenters for EVE TV at Fanfest 2015. - Fanfest Presenter: gave a presentation about EVE Media- Member of the #Rekkingcrew All of these aspects have taught me a lot about the game and the players who play it and I think that they will help me a lot as a potential CSM member.
Focus I think the most important job of a CSM member is to be a bridge between CCP and players. Players are the ones playing, and can help CCP discover problems with EVE Online that need to be solved. EVE Online is in a state where a lot of new features are being released and so it's exciting to see what the future holds for us, the players.
My focus will be:
Quote: - Communication between player and dev - Nullsec / lowsec - Alliance Warfare and how changes affect this - Don't forget about the independent players when it comes to changes - Space Usages / Coverage - Ships and their use - Make sure changes are necessary and not the ''let's add a shiny ship'' tactic - Make sure the devs understand playersGÇÖ problems - How changes affect small alliances - Fleet fights (Think about 50 high sp chars vs. 250 newbies) - Increased support for Events - I would love to see an increase in support for our players who are blind, deaf etc.
These are not points I will purely focus on, I will deal with whatever is necessary. However, I do think that the above points are very important for the future of EVE Online.
Do you have any points that you find important? Please contact me! (details will be at the bottom)
Why do I want to join the CSM? Over my years of being active in the EVE Online community, I've come to the conclusion many times that I'm deeply in love with our community. This is a key reason to why I've always kept playing EVE Online and it has often put me in a position where I had to explain to my RL friends why I'm so passionate about the game!
While being active, I've also been in a ton of game related discussions and through my work at EN24, I've been in contact with a lot of different types of players, from the best FCs to the pilot who can barely fly his Retriever in highsec. IGÇÖve spoken with those players a lot, and IGÇÖve learned about their ideas or concerns.
This is my ultimate drive to be a CSM member! I feel that sometimes changes are made to affect bigger groups of players to the detriment of the lone members. I would like to represent those individual players and make the game more beautiful for them and everybody!
Ways to get to know me better? 1) Feel free to ask me questions in this forum thread 2) Check out my Twitter 3) Check out my past Articles 4) Check out Bob's Corner where I talk about stuff that interests me 5) Feel free to mail me at: [email protected] if you want to talk 6) Watch my Fanfest presentation 7) Watch me on the Meta Show

Steve Ronuken wrote:To add a little detail on that 22nd:
It's more complicated than that. There are people who ended up 'closer', that Bobmon would get in in front of, if other people were to leave the CSM.
For example, Xenuria came in something like 18th, but requires many more people to drop out, before he stands a chance to get in. This is because he doesn't have many votes cascading down to him, from other candidates. Bobmon had better support that way.
This isn't an endorsement of anyone. Just a little clarification on the process.
Thanks for the clarification!

He does, however, drink chocolate milk instead of beer on the Sunday of Evesterdam. Despite this I will be supporting his run.

Regards, a Freelancer
Thanks :)
If CCP has the resources to make a team that focuses on that type of content then that would be pretty epic and I don't think I would have anything against it

He is not flawless and he has made many mistakes throughout his career, but none of them were born of malice. His English might not be great either, but he is a great communicator in his own way. You don't run a major news site successfully if you suck at communicating after all.
Thanks man! My English might not be perfect but I try my best to improve it every day!

Yes, I run Evenews24.com which is considered to be a 'media website'' However I have always looked at our site differently. In my eyes the work I do for Evenews24 is purely a extension of my hobby, Eve Online. I love to write about things that happen within EVE Online and I love to manage my team. I'm not working for evenews24 to be this 'journalist'' I'm simply a player who likes to write stories (hence why EN24 is registered as a Fansite)
I do understand the underlying concern that might be out there however I want too I'm already used to dealing with a same type as situations right now as that I might run into as a CSM member. I'm a member of PL and the feared #REKKINGCREW. Both organizations have a ''Zero tolerance rule'' which means that you are removed from the alliance if you do anything that is considered leaking.
Both PL and the REKKINGCREW are heavily involved with daily events that happen within EVE Online and has also resulted in me running into situations were I knew something big but I couldn't write about it. This is not a problem for me, again I'm not here to become this known journalist, I'm purely here to write about stories that interest me and not here to screw over my own fun in the game.
An example of this is the time when PL decided to sell Brothers of Tangra to XIX and go back to a nomadic lifestyle. This was a move that would later have a lot of impact, with other alliances doing something similar as PL did. This move was something that PL members, (including myself) were told about, long before it actually happened and still I didn't talk/write about it.

Arashi Mina wrote:It's not about whether or not you are likely to leak. Sion has already been in the CSM and since he's not been kicked for leaking it's safe to say that's not why he's been disallowed. The point is that members of gaming media are not allowed to run, one assumes because of the increased risks should a leak occur, so the rule should be applied to all gaming media. EN24 isn't a simple blog or fansite, it is a media site, so there's no reason it should be exempt from those rules. CCPs acceptance of your campaign reeks of bias and inconsistency in the application of the rules, and your election would only exacerbate that. Should you be elected, it would be good form to push for more consistency during these processes going forward, otherwise the integrity of the entire CSM is undermined.
EN24 is not involved with any other games and there for seen as a fansite, this was confirmed by CCP Leeloo. There was always a rule which disallowed other gaming company employees from running as CSM so I see the rule change only as a smart update as it makes sence to not have other gaming media staff on a team which sees everything that happends internally.
Feel free to poke me on slack if you want to talk about it even more.
