Read the complete Platform here: http://www.eve-online-dark-taboo.com/vote/
If you want your vote to count just once in EVE vote for PsychoBitch.
Sick of CCP devs and their hair-brained, half-baked, blue-balled ideas?
Sick of self-important fat puds and frail half-elves on the CSM?
Sick of things in eve that should have been fixed A G E S ago not being fixed
and new errors being introduced daily?
Make your one vote count finally, vote for PsychoBitch!
If you are voting for someone who has been in the CSM before - you have wasted your vote on F A I L
Don't be a failure, be a hero. Vote for PsychoBitch now!

Perfectly aware of all the candidates and after 3 and a half years in EVE, I believe Issler is not only a good candidate but the best of the current crop. He has stood by his beliefs year in and year out not just changing to the whim of the moment. TBH quite a few of the candidates I have never heard of. |

Well personally I couldn't give a rats on Issler's sex, Only the things this candidate stands for. Or do you think the candidates should have to state there sex, age, race maybe religion as well? If you care about a candidates sex your worrying about the wrong thing. |

The size of team avatar given the are also responsible for supporting what we have already is to small to get to the goal I just stated. So yes, the announcement for me was disappointing.
Mining is more important to me right now than ambulation and I think we can get more traction with CCP for mining improvements. To say I'm not talking "out and proud" about ambulation is beyond wrong. I talk about it as much as anyone in Eve.
I would like to see smaller incremental deliveries ambulation if it means we see something sooner rather than later. Many folks seem to agree.

so basically you will be working against the shift in momentum towards fis. do you realize that resources are finite, more on wis means just that much less devoted to fis? explain "multi avatar per instance" particular the instance. as far as i know nothing is instanced in eve online. there must be some drawbacks associated with the safety of an instance
below are 2 examples of your constituents, if elected how will you serve them in influencing ccp to devote resources to what they want?
Indahmawar Fazmarai wrote: As I've pointed out several times, social gameplay is the mother of emergent gameplay. It needs a minimal investment in infrastructure and can keep players amused like forever. Just hand out some tools and allow people use them. Organized gameplay is cool to have, NPC interaction is cool, but from a cost/profit POV there is nothing as effective as just let people interact through avatars. Throw in some "hologram" technology so they're not forced to be aboard the same station and ther you go. Now add some advantages to physically being there (I already suggested stuff like kissing, caressing, punching, slapping... or dancing, if CCP were up to a tough ball; i've been iterating on the dance concept and I am figuring ways so two players can syncronize their moves within EVE's 1 second server frames... I don't mean "hit dance emote, do silly moves", rather "press the right keys at the right time so the server is fed the right "combos" from both sides at the right time and plays the right animation... in my limited knowledge, nobody ever tried that online...)
Err, to the point, there are lots of things that can be done as tools for friendly social interaction. If someone wants avatar PvP, they may have it, as long as it is not shoved down the throat of every player. Stations are griefing free zones and should stay like that. The worst that can happen in a station is being scammed and that must stay like that.
Adaris wrote: I would very much like if the short term focus for Incarna was on a three-fold approach: - Avatar expression (emote system) - Avatar customization (clothes, tattoos, hair styles, body elements etc) - Avatar socializing (facilitating more avatars being in the same location as one another)
Customization, for the most part is stand-alone. Expression is tied to socializing though, so the issue with the graphical demands of having multiple avatars in the same location needs to be addressed. If we can get a system whereby the facility to invite a set amount of avatars to the same location is possible, then much has been achieved for future iteration.
I would talk about what type of environments and activities should follow these three themes, but that should be considered more long term, especially with just one Dev Team assigned right now.
I am unsure if the current team has the technical expertise to address the issues of having multiple avatars occupy the same CQs though, but perhaps the expansion of expression through emotes (likely through the chat system) could follow alongside the continued work on avatar customization. wis: a roman orgy of all-you-can-eat social /dance o7m8 dressup, unrestrained do ask do tell out and proud at the space bar dollhouse, all the evolving new and exciting things you've ever wanted.

I do believe that is something to worry about. CSM6 was a joke and with the current voting levels I believe CSM 7 might be one as well. They really need to set it up like a normal election so you vote more in line with the area your involved in for example have a 0.0 candidate slot on the table and make the 0.0 ers fight for that.

CSM6 had alot of 0.0 reps, because CSM5 didn't have enough to keep them from telling CCP that nerfing 0.0 grunts ability to make isk would not make us fight more out there, and we didn't want any more nerfs to our ability to live on a personal level to happen.
But to say its 100% nullsec residents would be like saying CSM5 was 100% highsec residents.

TBH I really know nothing about Two step and if iirc Meissa is Lo-sec well that hasnt helped lo-sec much. But you can't argue that the number of people playing this game has gone down since CSM 6 came about? Lets face it I do some 0.0 not much most of my interest lie in Hi-sec so why the hell should I care about patching some set of game mechanics used only by 6% of the population but now using a disproportionate amount of resources to make those patches. |

Right... What else happened during CSM6 that wasn't actually caused by CSM6?
Did you know most CSM influence is actually felt in the first expansion after the next CSM comes in? ie: CSM6 gets credit for inferno, CSM5 gets credit for Incarna(tho Incarna was actually mostly CCP management ignoring the hell out of everything everyone told them).
Sub count dropping isn't the result of CSM, its the result of CCP management being arrogant and willfully ignorant of the playerbase.

Hey guys, i just updated my signature to have an statistically accurate wording.
I was doubting between saying 0% hisec or 100% non-highsec, but somehow 100% non-Highsec drives a stonger point.
I expect to put a "7" instead of the 6 to update my signature after the election. EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% non-Highsec residents.

TBH I really don't hate the goons, I just believe that CCP is a business. They are here to make money. So if you have a minority no matter what percentage in control of the CSM, they can and frankly for the sake of EVE as a whole should be ignored. So my dislike of Goons is based on the fact I really like EVE and to get the numbers growing again after CCP's lovely actions of the past 12 months (even without the Non-Hisec CSM) it really requires most of CCP's resources to be devoted to the majority eg. Hi-sec and Newbie players to save the game (and subsequently with higher profits keeping CCP focused on EVE not other games or spin offs).
So I suppose what I'm saying is DON'T VOTE Non-Hi-sec if you want to be playing this game in a few years time. |

Look up the Queen of Spoons if you want to know why people don't trust highsec reps to do anything good. She kinda ruined it for highsec advocates.
The problem is a highsec/newbie player is focused on the short term. Nullsec players, especially leaders out here, have to think long term because they have an empire to run.
I support having a highsec rep or 2 on the CSM, but catering to that crowd will kill eve the same way catering to that crowd killed the only other major sandbox MMO out there(SWG), and is currently killing WOW.
Any game company that prioritizes players who don't have a long term investment in the game is planning on failing.
Edit: not to detract from Issler, I hear he is actually a great candidate, and an excellent choice as a highsec player who has a long term investment in the game. Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom. |

I genuinely share your concerns about newbie players (I'm still a newbie, or a returning bittern00b, I guess) but I think you are misdirecting those concerns. Alliances like Goonswarm and TEST are extremely newbie friendly, since they actively recruit players from outside the game, and do so with the long term view that retaining those rifter pilots now means that many more battleship and dreadnought pilots later. Our directors take an active interest in the new player experience because they have to, unlike leaders of alliances with high skillpoint minimums who are just plucking the fruit grown from the labor of many struggling small alliances that do take in new players, only to lose them to ~elite pvp~ alliances in null
Once upon a time, as an experiment, I started out a fresh character and tried to make my way through the new player experience without just setting my home to VFK and podding myself. You know what I found? Eve sucks if you're a new player without an alliance welcoming you and helping you out. I really don't know what makes people want to play it because it is lonely and boring and downright tedious. Sure, you can join things like Eve University but you have to know about them. You can find a corp on the recruitment channel but have you ever sat and read that channel? It's awful, all the people on it are terrible, the corp ads read like they were written by the same people who scribble out of order notes on vending machines, and most of them have SP limits and/or don't accept people on trial accounts. Not a favorable first impression for new players
Also, my ship looked like a dentist's chair. My next ship looked like some other kind of chair. Then there was the one that looked like a big metal nose, and finally I got into a giant flying mailbox. Yay Caldari, I guess
Guess which CSM pushed for rookie ship redesign? The one chaired by ~my ceo~.
Goons aren't ruining this game. A lot of people will say so, but they're either uninformed or they're trying to dodge the fact that it is they who are ruining this game and ruining it badly. The worst things for Eve are ~elite pvp~ alliances and empire isk farming carebears. One tells new players they can have fun when they're all grown up and can fly a titan, and the other tells new players they can have fun when they have enough money (which is never, because you always need more for the next "fun" thing).
And I just realized I typed all this up in Issler's thread which means it was a waste of time but what the hell, here it is anyhow. |

I hope EVE voter turnout for the CSM7 election is high. Voting is easy, just two clicks...one to go to CCP's election site, and one to vote for the candidate of your choice... http://community.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4913&tid=1 It's a fun game and I hope it's players like it enough to give a few clicks to it's direction.
This is an interesting article (by Tzuzeku de'Tirisfal of The White Rose Conveticle blog) about how the breakdown of the CSM6 votes played out and, really, the importance of voting at all as shown by result:
If one is concerned by the the poor representation of High and Low Sec interests on the CSM, the first necessary order of business ought to be to dispose, once and for all, of the myth that Empire Space is poorly represented "because Empire votes are divided among too many High and Low Sec candidates."
A simple, open-eyed look at the voter turnout and results from the last CSM election suggests, to the contrary, that the truth is more that there are barely any Empire Votes to divide, unless you are moonstruck enough to believe there's any circumstance in which the diverse interests of Empire citizens -- High and Low; Miner, Mission Runner, Faction Warrior; Ganker and Gankee -- and transitive Wormholers could be somehow magically united behind one candidacy.
For CSM6, 49,096 votes were cast by 14.25% of the approximately 344,533 eligible votes. The results were as follows:
Delegates Votes Character 5,365 The Mittani 3,813 Seleene 3,320 UAxDEATH 3,306 Trebor Daehdoow 2,925 Killer2 2,539 White Tree 2,240 Vile Rat 2,086 Meissa Anunthiel 1,986 Draco Llasa
Alternates Votes Character 1,747 Elise Randolph 1,341 Prometheus Exenthal 1,090 Krutoj 956 Two Step 921 Darius III
Aside from what must be called a low overall participation rate given how long-advertised is the annual polling, the most telling fact, here, is that the winning delegates and alternates received a whopping 68.5% of the votes actually cast.
Basically, if your character(s) voted at all, the odds are 2 to 1 you were more or less happy with the outcome. The top four winning candidates, by themselves, received a combined vote total greater than all the disappointed votes combined.
As the 15461 disappointed votes doubtless include a good number of votes for lesser 0.0 vanity candidates, just as the happily rewarded 33625 votes doubtless include a good number of Empire votes for winning Nullsec candidates, it is simply, by the numbers, unreasonable to expect Empire candidacies to pull enough votes to win out of what is objectively a rather small pool of participating dissatisfied Empire voters.
The rude rough truth, statistically speaking, may well be this: Nullsec votes; Few else bother.
So, participate, Empire voters! If you like this game we play, give it a couple easy clicks! |
