Hello all,
I am writing today to announce my decision to run again for CSM, having arrived home from the last Summit happy that I've done as I set out to do there. I feel as though I have both achieved and learnt a lot within CSM XI, and hope that you will consider me for re-election, so that I can continue to work with CCP as a representative of the community.
What Are My Goals?
My goals are GÇô probably to no surprise to those who know me GÇô nothing to do with specific changes. I donGÇÖt see that as a major part of the duties of the CSM, and IGÇÖve attempted to correct that belief where I can. It is in my view, the job of the CSM to first and foremost investigate what the fundamental problems are, then to present this to CCP.
But, what I wish to do within my second term is much the same as I have already done;
- Promote iteration on stagnant features - Provide consistent, neutral communication & transparency from the CSM - Ensure that as many points of view are brought to the table in discussions - Argue for an increase in balancing velocity - Continue to drive the CSM-CCP relationship in a positive direction
And, if you vote for me, these are the things I will continue to work on.
What Have I Done?
The strongest of arguments come with evidence, so I would like to simply share what I have done in CSM 11 towards these goals,
I have taken attendance (with the aid of The Judge) on almost every CSM meeting that occurred during CSM 11GÇÖs term, to ensure that people are able to see what their representatives are doing, and hold them accountable. It should be noted that this is not the be-all end-all of metrics, but it is a step towards transparency in the CSM.
Alongside this, I have consistently produced a fortnightly CSM update, which has evolved as time has gone on from a very basic stating of discussion topics, to a more fleshed out attempt to archive what we are doing as best as possible within the NDA, providing a catalyst for community discussion with us on various topics of interest.
I also direct GÇô along with other members of the CSM GÇô the Quarterly Review, wherein every member of the CSM is given a platform to answer various questions and ensure that they are kept in touch with the community.
I have over the course of my term, also put together a series of roundtables addressing topics that I felt the CSM simply lacked GÇô at the current time GÇô the knowledge to fairly portray to CCP. This includes two roundtables on Hisec Ganking from both the aggressor and defenders side (the recordings of which were kept confidential upon the wishes of both parties), Wardecs (co-led by Toxic Yaken) and the New Player Experience. In addition to this I also ran a PvE Townhall, and participated in NoobmanGÇÖs excellent Wormhole Townhall. I also suggested, ran and provided a final consensus from a Nullsec Content Creators Focus Group.
I have also been able to write and podcast extensively, taking a less neutral tact when discussing my own opinions on upcoming changes or problem areas within the game. A good example of this would be my GÇ£Safeties off, Gloves offGÇ¥ article, which I believe had an impact on the overall implementation of Alpha Clones, seeing as it highlighted the issues with the GÇÿX Omega + 1 AlphaGÇÖ argument that the community was making at the time in the context of Hisec Ganking.
I was heavily supportive of HydeGÇÖs stance on Balance Frequency, and GÇô as shown in the 1st CSM summit notes GÇô was heavily involved in the discussion around not balance particulars, but CCPGÇÖs incredibly slow rate in dealing with problem ships within the meta, which leads to what I term a calcification of the meta, where something is so strong for so long, that every counter is explored, known, and solved. After this point, the meta grows stale, and quite frankly, boring.
I consider the rewrite to the whitepaper involving CSM 11, as opposed to CSM 10 who were mostly excluded from the proceedings, a key indicator of the trust and co-operation that we were able to bring to CCP-CSM relations this year. And all of CSM 11 were crucial in achieving that, so I cannot take much credit here, but IGÇÖd like to note it at least.
Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to say what things IGÇÖve worked to highlight to CCP in terms of stagnant features, due to my own squeamishness at the edges of the NDA, and the sad reality that simply nothing may come of my efforts, as it may not be something CCP are able to fit into their schedule, or justify addressing from a business perspective. However, I would hope that my fellow CSM 11 members will be able to vouch for me addressing a wide range of topics with the intent of starting meaningful conversations with CCP on them. |

What Do I Know?
In addition to this track record of communication and work within the CSM, I also bring my own areas of subject expertise to the table. I have a solid understanding of both Fleet Command and the larger picture of warfare in New Eden, as can be seen in various formats in my non-CSM related writings on Crossing Zebras, and in the video content I produce on my personal channel. IGÇÖm also familiar with solo PvP, specifically in Faction Warfare space, as can be seen in my solo PvP movies. I also use things other than frigates in nullsec solo PvP.
I also have a broad range of experiences that I bring to the table, having tried out the vast majority of careers in EvE before settling down in my current position in Providence as an FC, running the gamut from mining, reaction farming, Incursion FCing & PI work, all in varying spaces.
How To Contact Me
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. However, if you want to talk to me more extensively or privately, I am available on a wide range of social media;
@JintaanEVE on Twitter @jintaan on Tweetfleet Slack JinGÇÖtaan//Sanctity [CVA]#9801 on Discord [email protected] is my email /u/jintaan on Reddit And, of course, you can directly mail me in game.
Thank you for your time, and more importantly, thank you for your interest in the CSM.

I've heard you never sleep.
Thanks for being a strong representative for not only Nullsec but also a lot of other generally overlooked gameplay. Your community outreach, projects, and communication for CSM XI has been stellar. You deserve all the votes.

You did good works in the last CSM Jin, You can count on my vote again this year.

Confidentiality still standing, I'm curious if the conversation went something like this...
Aggressors: "We should be able to because we want to, buying people is fun and makes us happy! CCP need to give bullies more reward for their efforts"
Defenders: "Help, we don't understand why anyone would want to be a bully"
Was their any resolution from the round tables?

As a CSM 11 member who had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jin this year, I highly recommend and support his candidacy for CSM 12 and urge all prospective voters to back him this year. Jin's work as the unofficial secretary/spokesperson on CSM 11 was invaluable in keeping the community abreast of what was going on in our discussions with CCP, all while maintaining the level of discretion necessary in an NDA'd position. While many CSM members like myself preferred a more narrow, expert-oriented method of gathering feedback, Jin succeeded in the opposite and brought valuable information to CCP from a wide variety of players through forums like townhalls.
Jin is an extremely dedicated and passionate player and CSM member, and despite his notorious inability to hold his liquor, is one of those guys that everyone appreciated having at our meetings and summits. I wish him the best of luck in his campaign this year and hope you all will consider backing him for another year representing the playerbase on CSM 12.

I honestly don't think Jin has slept in the last year due to the amount of work he's doing for this CSM.
Easy +1 choice for me. |

Jin is a bloody hard worker. He is one of the people I was most surprised by on CSM 11, and not just because he can drink a surprising amount for guy with a small frame! He will be on my ballot without a doubt. #csm11forever

This was the reason I actively seperated them, actually, I was able to draw things that both parties agreed on. Specifically that perma-bumping was overall not a great mechanic, and that a timer for it would be (as much as the exact time would be debated) overall a positive gameplay experience change, even if they disagreed with the philosophy behind it.
Both sides also understood that there was an issue with information availability, with Gankers feeling that if there were more of a general understanding of how it worked as an activity, people wouldn't be as heavily negative towards it. Gankees and anti-gankers also felt that this information assymetry lead directly to a feeling of dissatisfaction that also was unfairly weighted towards newer players.
One specific change brought by both sides that I felt was worth escalating to Team Genesis was a one time warning for newer players undocking with a large amount of worth in assets in a T1 Industrial, as it's not immediately apparent that one can be killed in hisec. It would be simple to do, and help prevent a lot of 'bad feeling'.
I gleaned a lot more from this, but these roundtables in general are a way of me representing the interests of people who I think aren't brought to the table effectively on the CSM, especially when I see a possibility of said interests being addressed by CCP. See the PvE Townhall in the conclusion stages of the Shadow of the Serpent event for another example of ensuring that my own views are not unrepresentative of the playerbase before talking directly with CCP. |

+1 Jin has embedded himself within the wider eve community on a number of various communications platforms and is very approachable. He has proven his ability to accurately, methodically and comprehensively review and understand a number of topics in both his writings on various website, youtube videos and approaches all his work with the same philosophy. His contribution to this years CSM has only further proven this point further in his regular communications with the wider Eve community. I am glad to see him running again. |

I would like the fully endorse Jin in his reelection for the CSM. He has been a great asset in not just nullsec items but also the game as a whole. As many current CSM have stated it is better to endorse candidates who will better the game, and are more than just an alliance ticker. Jintaan is one of those people I can fully support as helping to make the game better for everyone.

Having known Jin since he were a podling, it has been a pleasure to see him grow and develop into the great young fella he is today.
He has demonstrated that he can bring consistancy and transparancy where possible to not just the CSM but also to the relationship between the CSM and CCP.
He has also evidenced what he has done and where he has helped to make an impact in the game.
Thus he will certainly get my vote.
With Respect

oh, and I may be the one responsible for introducing him to tequila and whisky chasers. I would say can you remember the Notts meet but we know how that ended for you.

My vote is for you
And thank you one more time for bringing issues towards CCP that were bothering me.
For CSM 12
my top 5 issues for CSM 12 to take for CCP to consideration.
1. PVE missions are stagnant and have not seen any improvement in years and not talking about burner missions. (burners i find extremely annyoing as if you are required to fly specific fit to be able to even do it there is something wrong with it. Try do all burners with Minmatar ships for example doable maybe fun NO)
2. Battleships these back in the day felt good now these feel like big target/loot Pi+¦ata (hopefully CSM 11 results show up here and there will be change)
3. Marauders Allmost all other ships have gotten buffs and overhauls but Marauders still are the same they were when first introduced I love my marauders (all except the Gallante Kronos that thing is just bad) Even if the balance change would be to just make them comparable with eachother that would be start.) And i know Marauders are not the most popular ship well maybe they are not popular because it takes years to train the skills for all marauders and price is quite high and there has been no overhauls/improvements to marauders in Years.
4. Drones when will CCP see the light that drones are too strong compared to most other weapon systems. (drones are quite popular in FW i wonder why? most Exploration people are using drone setups because most exploration ships get drone bonuses how about adding exploration ships with other weapon systems also)
5. Ganking in hisec way too easy with little actual risk for you. |
