My name is Sapporo Jones. And I care.
I care about you regardless of whether you care about me because we are a community. A family. A collective of individuals collectively greater than the sum of our individual parts.
I care.
I want to make this a better experience for you. I want to make this game better for me, for my alliance, and yes even for you. For us.
I care.
Together in this community we are a group of headline making, revenue driving, enthusiastically awful at games, new bro, bitter vet, krabbing baddasses. And we deserve better representation.
We need and deserve this. I care and want to provide it for you.
I care.
My top issues I would like to bring to CCP are the following:
1. Accrual rate of jump fatigue.
a. We know the logi ships are fine, but the accrual rate of fatigue is too high. The Phoebe changes are fine and have fundamentally changed how we strategically and tactically approach combat. It affects how we commit and where and why. That being said, even jumping a capital .5ly away gives you more fatigue than you should reasonably accrue. It's not a bad system, it just needs some changes.
2. How best to bring back the sense of grandeur EVE once had.
a. One of the things that brings people in to this game in significant numbers is the grand sense of scale our player driven events engender. Fozzie sov, while fine and ever changing and evolving, has dried up that sense of grand scale. Gone from EVE of late are the large scale bloc on bloc fights. Sure much of this content was n+1 content, but it was grand and beautiful and a spectacle unmatched in any other game. We need that back. It's ours, we want it and deserve it, we should fix what it takes to bring it back.
b. Determining methods to enable more new moderate sized alliances to enter the fray and become contenders. Sov null is stale. There are a few regions that frequently change hands, but many of the regions have been held by the same people for ages. Enabling people to skirmish properly over this space and better establish a foothold is good for the game.
c. EVE needs dank memes. You know it's true. You wanna know how many rare pepes there are that are EVE related? Zero. Goose egg. Less than bupkes.
3. A style guide for good posting.
a. Who better to bring about the new era of good post than the current sitting exec and best poster of our group of badposters. You don't want a Lex Arson teaching people how to post do you? No. You want Uncle Sappo. He cares about you.
4. I care.
a. About you.
So please join me in welcoming me in to the race for CSM! Together we can make EVE great again.
My name is Sapporo Jones and I care.

I'm Yolo Swagtron and this man would be a great CSM candidate.
"Great" in the sense that there would be a drunk 220 pound man passed out in a Reykjavik conference room mumbling incoherently about Phoenixes and Widows while everyone else talks about boring nonsense.
Given the results we've gotten from other, less professional candidates, it's clear to me that the Jones Plan for Drunken Game Design is the only legitimate plan. |

CCP will, helpfully, produce a guide like they do every year on how to vote.
I will not, in TEST or in the dominion, push myself on our dudes. If you want to vote for me you can. If you don't want to, no hard feelings. I believe in the process and I believe in what CSM once was and I believe we can make EVE great again if we work together. |

So does this statement mean that if you get elected you'll (hopefully) throw out the space Mexicans from EVE? |

First off, there are Eve related rare pepes, but they are rare enough that you haven't seen any. I might share one if you answer these questions.
Lets say CCP asked for your opinion regarding the skill sucker Aur pricing model. What would you have you said? Don't retcon.
Are you going to try to participate in balancing discussions?
What is the CSM? What does it do? Do we need you in it?
What changes would you champion to bring back people who haven't played in a while?
What changes would you champion to bring in new players?
How do I know you're not going to get in based on the votes of your dudes, and then do nothing like a huge percentage of null leader CSM dudes?
Does this look like a butt to you? 
People are talking about making Eve F2P? Would you support that? How would you recommend implementing a F2P eve to CCP if that was the direction they were looking to go? |

Good questions! Here is my answers in response to your questions:
Lets say CCP asked for your opinion regarding the skill sucker Aur pricing model. What would you have you said? Don't retcon. I have been open in TEST about how I think people should be able to buy small SP packs. There's so much you can already buy I don't really see a REAL problem with it. On a personal level I've played eve long enough to see what people can do with literally day one alts. When battleships were the largest ship one could aspire to I remember as goons took down a battleship in a fleet of rifters. There's more to this game than skillpoints but we can't consistently get that in to people's brain and at the same time have eve remain approachable in the modern age. I think a solid middle ground is purchasable SP. I'm still not clear on how solid the process currently is or whether it is good long term for the game, but I think the idea functionally is sound.
Are you going to try to participate in balancing discussions? Yes. If allowed to I would like to.
What is the CSM? What does it do? Do we need you in it? The CSM is an organized group of active players in the community who act as ombudsman for the players to CCP. Regardless of principle or image that's the fundamental principle. We need diverse people representing diverse interests and those interests should align with player interests. I believe I bring value to the organization by being a solid delegate from a player base that is an institution in this game, sov null players. Also I love you and care about you. No homo. Unless some homo.
What changes would you champion to bring back people who haven't played in a while? I want for jump fatigue accrua changesl, changes to sov null mechanics with regards to UI elements and capture/defense process, and tools for community organization and involvement. There are, I feel, many ways that through the user interface with some changes and tweaks enable larger communities to function as synergistically as smaller communities.
What changes would you champion to bring in new players? More diverse camera options that enable more complicated videos to be taken with in game UI functions. The idea of the Camera Drone is archaic. What we have now is orders of magnitude better than what we had, but enabling people to create content and then enabling that content to be presented to new players in a way that preserves the spectacle of combat in EVE is fundamental to attracting new players.
How do I know you're not going to get in based on the votes of your dudes, and then do nothing like a huge percentage of null leader CSM dudes? I told TEST as well as our allies in the dominion that we are not going to do a proper bloc ballot. I support that for our bros when they want that support. I, personally, want my friends in TEST and the DMD to vote their conscience and not vote because I tell them to vote for me. Given that, in the unlikely event I am actually nominated it won't be because I abused the STV with a bloc vote. As far as other null leader dudes doing that, that's their call. The bloc vote has been successful in the past, it will be again, I will consider myself honored if I am on their ballot but I won't ask for it.
Does this look like a butt to you?  Yes. It does. It absolutely does. |
