Thermal Damage
Another Eve Online Charity

Hello fellow Eve Online players
My name is Thermal Damage, and this year I will be running for the CSM. I have been playing Eve for almost 11 years, so I feel that I have a fairly good knowledge in most aspects of the game. I have lived in high, low and nullsec doing everything from building capitals to working on diplomatic relations. I feel my best attribute would be my ability to work with, encourage, and solve problems with people, something I feel would be very useful as a member of the CSM. I am also a very active member of the #tweetfleet community as you can see here.
I'm a passionate advocate for the harsher side of Eve Online. Eve has become too focused on becoming safe and overly friendly over the last few years, both in regards to game mechanics and within the community at large. I know there are a large portion of you who dislike how Eve is slowly becoming some kind of safe space and I would be there to fight your corner. I am interested in working with the 'charity' mentality within our community to find some sort of resolution so that we can phase them out. They are too often used as a basis for corruption and self promotion.
I am also interested in working with CCP on how they manage their interactions with the community, including their ticketing system, recommendations/complaints from players, and their forums. I mean what's the point of the forums if people rather go to r/eve? The forums should be the central hub of out of game communication. As an experienced community manager, I feel I can bring a lot to the table in this regard. CCP would also benefit from some education on how to keep real life and ingame issues separate. I see many CCP employees posting about politics and some rather polarizing social issues on their work forum accounts and twitter handles. Its all rather embarrassing. Only grief and negativity can come from people bringing real life 'stuff' with them past the login screen. Together we can come to a solution where all Eve news is centralized with impartial support from CCP.
I am also interested in running a focus group to find out why 80% of Eve's playerbase refuses to leave highsec. As I said in my first point, it is nice and safe, but I suspect there is more to it. I am not so arrogant that I claim to have all the answers, so I would like to work with alliance leaders and community figureheads from all areas of space to find ways in which we can pull people away from the newbie training ground that is high security space. It could be with nerfs, buffs, or new ideas altogether, I approach this with an open mind.
The best way to contact me would be @thermaldamage, but you can post here or send me an Eve mail.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can count on your vote come election time.

Thermal Damage is someone who should be on the CSM. He isn't a politician, but a player's player, and that is something the community really needs. He has a very good understanding of the community, is very active in helping others and proposing new ideas, and knows many aspects of the Eve Universe. (Even those aspects that some may or may not agree with, but are still part of what makes Eve what it is) He has already been active in proposing many new ideas to improve the gaming mechanics and would be a very good asset to the community, especially as a voice for those of us who may have become discouraged watching lowsec slowly dissolve.
Vote for Thermal Damage, and Make New Eden Great Again !!!!

I tend to keep away from campaign drama, but in this case I think I'll wade into the cesspit of bad candidature. Thermal, you are promoting the embodiment of exactly what is wrong with public perception with the csm. While I don't always agree with what certain eve personalities do, your behaviour towards others within this community can only be viewed as reprehensible. Not only that, but you are consistently making a mockery of the very idea of the csm, be it a troll or not, a group that you claim to want to be a part of and represent. I strongly believe that people will vote with their feet and completely ignore your excuse of a candidacy, but I still wanted to make my opinion on actions like this completely clear and transparent.
I'd rethink your platform and behavior if I was you.

How cute of you, dude.
She strutted into my office wearing a dress that clung to her like Saran Wrap to a sloppily butchered pork knuckle, bone and sinew jutting and lurching asymmetrically beneath its folds, the tightness exaggerating the granularity of the suet and causing what little palatable meat there was to sweat, its transparency the thief of imagination.

This is a question of interpretation, I joined in 2009 and I think hisec is a lot more dangerous then it was then, also there are no safe spaces in Eve, hisec is not safe, you fly a freighter with over 1bn of cargo, you fly haulers and transport ships with cargo, you fly covetors Hulks, Macs and Retreivers and Ventures and you will find out just how unsafe hisec really is.

Of course there is more to it, I spent the majority of my time in 0.0, your suggestion of a focus group to discuss this is a good start, but if you fill it with HTFU players only then it is going to be a typical echo chamber of stupidity, where all you want to do is reduce reasons and rewards to be in hisec which will force people from the game rather than force them out of hisec. Also you think that these players are monolithic, well many of us, base in hisec, but also operate in wormholes and low sec and even NPC null, how do you know that they are always in hisec?
I went back to basing in hisec because AFK cloaky camping allied to massive drops bores me to death, I have proposed a fix in the features and ideas for this, with an AFK flag using an OA structure that applies after an hour of inactivity and that flag will go with any interaction on the client, also a probe that will identify the grid of a cloaked ship, so intelligent people can hunt them. The watch list removal though a good idea removed vital intel from the prey, while the arrival of skill injectors enabled players to create clean cyno alts which again does not help, all the intel used by the prey got removed so the balance is out of kilter. There are other steps that may need to be taken, but trying something that adjusts the intel balance back would be a good start.
Smaller alliances get a taste of this negative 24/24 7/7 area denial and get fed up and head back to hisec, I have seen it happen, yet many of them want to be in 0.0. You can bluster about safe spaces and carebears and all that, but why should they be forced to engage in such goddam awful play by pushing them out of hisec. I suspect you will just blame it on their attitude and suggest they go to WOW, when many of them would quite like to earn ISK and fight roaming gangs and do sov war.
When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

He has no idea about the community as a whole, due to his inability to communicate past using expletives and racist/homophobic retorts to people. Looking at his twitter account will get you that far into seeing he has little care for CCP and/or Eve online past trolling and complaining. This is not rumor milling it is verifiable there if you look, and he has been banned from twitter for said things.
As to phasing out charities I can agree to that if they are not run by CCP like Plex for Good, there is to much risk that they may be abused or misused.
High-Sec is another monster that in your own post you bring zero ideas forward as how to fix the problem. Past hoping to get with leaders to get ideas which if you dont have any of your own why should we vote for you? If you are going to run for something on platform about working with people, and yet alienating everyone around you with #heatfleet is counter to everything your post is about.
You have not posted anything about your ideas or things you are going to push for in game past making it "less safe and overly friendly".
You also attack the very people you will need to be working with in order to help change things in Eve. No matter your opinion you will have to work with them, and your campaign thread attacks them making that much less likely they will look at any ideas you or people send to you for support. |

Not sure how I would feel voting a guy into a community position that purposefully and actively trolls and pokes fun at other members of the community. This is a guy who gladly and openly laughs at the idea of people attempting suicide, stating that he wishes they had done the world a favor and just killed themselves. Hardly seems like the kind of person you would want representing the player base.
Whole heartily do no endorse this candidate. |

Can you specifically cite what are rumors on here?
Again you are generalizing overall comments as "rumors" you also have not answered or provided any ideas of your own to support your campaign "ideals".
This "campaign" is nothing more, but a further troll by you. |

Being banned from twitter is an example of one of the rumors posted here.
I simply do not have time to cite them all.

Could you expand a bit on these statements. Which areas do you feel have become to safe? Which mechanics need to be harsher? Which play styles could do with a bit more danger?

Everywhere and all of them. Its kind of an abstract answer but there is no mystery in space anymore, everything has become too methodical. There is a set way to do things now, min-maxed fits, optimized routes, intel-rich killboards. The main enemy to a dangerous New Eden is the API. The API doesn't allow for creativeness, only for mockery if you do not do things the 'right' way. Kill information should no longer be published and neither should the 'jumps/kills in last hour' on the ingame map.
I am also willing to entertain the idea of a delayed local in nullsec.
