Define reform

A vote for Xenuria is a vote for Turtlenecks.

Does that mean you've given up on your "grr goons" and "+10 standings should give you free ****" campaign platforms?

I am mature enough to realize that there are far more important issues at hand than how standings affect vanity items.
Please don't throw me in with the grr goons crowd. They don't like me any more than most goons do. I don't agree with everything goons do but I am also not required to agree with everything goons do.

I am an individual that is part of something larger.

I will add that there comes a point in time when all the politics and social maneuvering needs to be put on hold for the betterment of the entire community. The CSM needs reform, the circumstances demand nothing short of nonpartisan collaboration and cooperation.

Those of you who know me in person know that I can be serious when I need to be and this is one of those times. If the CSM is not reformed, if intervention is not undertaken than we may not have a CSM for much longer.

You were Grr Goons though, for a number of years and your platforms were based entirely around it. The only thing that's changed is you were finally allowed to join goons without being purged 5 minutes later.

I don't disagree that the CSM needs reform but simply stating the CSM needs reform is in no way a reason to vote for you, if you could share some of your ideas on HOW you want to reform the CSM then you might be taken a bit more seriously but at the moment you seem a bit flakey as a candidate.

Ok, I'll bite.

Reform in the context of the CSM would entail overhauling the white paper, installing safety measures, changing the language used when discussing certain topics, advocating and pushing for policy changes that encourage honesty but discourage superficial posturing. I suppose the problem is that when I say Reform I expect people to know what I mean without me having to list any number of things that are reformative.

For me it's sometimes difficult for me to explain what I mean without a specific context. Let me give you an example.


Q What are your reforms?
A Uhhh

Q How would you reform the CSM NDA?
A I would construct a spanning tree rubric with dates and subject tags that allowed for everybody under NDA to know explicitly what they are and are not allowed to discuss and with whom.


On the subject of Grr goons it's disingenuous to lump me in with that /r/eve grr goons crowd or any grr goons crowd. My primary grievance with goons had nothing to do with anything in a spaceship game and everything to do with my home address and personal information being posted in a CSM thread by The Mittani.

Given that, how can you continue to play in an alliance that includes induviduals such as Digi? Or is doxxing only bad when it happens to you?

I do not see my presence in the alliance as an endorsement of what some members of the alliance say or do.
If and when somebody does something that I personally feel is inappropriate or messed up I let it be known. Do to how I am, I don't believe in showing favor to anybody because of rank, social status, influence etc. If a director in the imperium did something really messed up or creepy I would put them on blast.

I feel it's not only possible for people who don't agree on everything to work together, I believe it's essential to the survival of this game.



I think vigilance and oversight are the hallmarks of a good participation system. Obviously there are some aspects of how participation is measured that I am not privy to, that said I have some ideas.

When I work on anything as a behavioral consultant or even in security work, I always like to document the time I spend and what I spend it doing. Punch in - Punch out, is simply not sufficient for something like this so I would concoct a To-Doo system that allowed members of the CSM to claim or assign themselves to tasks they felt themselves best suited to.

Id Est: CCP has a bunch of gameplay changes/proposals that need to be looked over half are wormholes and the other half have to do with PVE in HS. Member A of the CSM can say "I got the wormhole stuff unless anybody else want's it or wishes to collaborate with me on it." Member E says "I am not that well versed in WH stuff but I know alot about how HS mission runners think, I'll take that part". With a system like this is becomes painfully obvious via data and trends who is just not doing anything.



You seem like you want to ask a question. Unfortunately I am unable to find one other than why I should feel the need to respond to you. Honestly, based on your previous history of posting in my threads; I don't.

I find it disappointing and frankly a little sad that you refuse to have any real discussion on your campaign, I can only imagine how you'd be if you somehow got onto CSM.

Huh. Xenuria joined Goons, after being all grr goons for so long. Interesting. So the Goons were right, you were one of the "they hate us 'cause they aint us" crowd.

Still gonna vote for you, though.

If you spent any amount of time actually reading my issues with goons...
... Please make effort to stay on topic.

If you spent any amount of time actually reading my issues with goons you will find "hate" is not part of them. I feel strongly that hate is counter-productive as emotions go. I often say "Do not hate. Hate is the weapon of the enemy."

As I said earlier in the thread I was never part of the grr goons crowd. I was, and continue to be an individual with legitimate personal stake in matters relating the the goons cultural identity in new eden.
This however is not a thread for discussion of social change born within a larger hegemony, this is a thread about my CSM campaign. Please make effort to stay on topic.

He not only joined us, we kinda like him.
