Big difference between making things difficult for others to war dec EvE-Uni and a view of wanting sensible consensual war dec mechanics.

Despite the DecShield, Mangala Solaris of Red vs Blue contacted us and we recently had a load of fun with them over the weekend, and much explosions were had by all, and if anyone else wants to arrange something similar, let us know.

You appear to potentially have an [ulterior] personal motive that might be clouding judgement.

Arranged, consensual wars and/or 1B ISK war declarations ... this is the FUTURE Kelduum Revaan promises for EVE Online players.

There is no such thing as a SENSIBLE consensual war dec mechanic.

Yeah, protecting the game from a giant, carebear douchebag getting on the CSM.

Hisec elected Trebor in CSM6 and will likely elect both Trebor and Kelduum in CSM7. Usually the hisec reps are 'hey look, a girl on the internet' or someone from Eve-Uni.

Hisec has had no trouble getting reps on past CSMs; barring the Eve-Uni reps (good folks like Deidra Vaal) they have usually been comical and incompetent (Ankh, here's looking at you, kiddo). I'm quite fond of Trebor though, and support both him and Kelduum for CSM7 should they run.

As for your fears of 'carebears' and your obsession with Eve-Uni, if I truly felt that they were spawning weakness and not teaching people how to PvP, I'd just wardec them myself. However, around the time of the dec-shield change, I investigated their practices and Kelduum is running a solid shop with lots of PvP training opportunities - and I expect to see him on CSM7, so get your tinfoil badposts ready.

Somewhat off topic (this is CSM stuff really), but I do hope that's what we are already doing in E-UNI, at least to the extent possible in EVE.

It's also why I've explained that the Mittani's "hate fuels war in 0.0" philosophy, while likely true, is a psychological element that is completely alien to low sec culture. It's also why the plans he repeatedly endorses for linking the FW sovereignty systems with 0.0 sovereignty systems are functionally D.O.A. in terms of being anything that will actually benefit Faction Warfare.

For CCP, linking the two is about laziness when it comes to development time. For The Mittani, it's about making sure if anything breaks, it happens to the FW crowd and not to his players in 0.0 space.

There is no such thing as a SENSIBLE consensual war dec mechanic.

At the summit, CCP suggested testing new capture mechanics on FW; the idea didn't originate with me. There was no discussion of 'linking' the systems as you imply.

Stop trying to use me as a boogeyman and mentioning me in every other post, or if you do it, you should at least get the facts straight.

Q: Do you have any plans to push CCP, if elected, to iterate on lowsec in general?

A: This wonGÇÖt win me friends among the lowsec voter pool, but IGÇÖd prefer CCP to test their ideas for capture mechanics in lowsec/FW before trying to apply a mechanic that doesnGÇÖt work to the much larger nullsec population. Testing mechanics on lowsec is ideal as the player population is low and lowsec hasnGÇÖt gotten love in years; if the mechanic works, itGÇÖs a badly needed boost, and if the mechanic fails then the negative impact across the playerbase as a whole is minimized.

There's nothing there about 'linking' the systems. vOv

Some CSMs suggested that FW could be used as a testbed for new capture mechanics, since FW would be smaller scale than nullsec.

dec-shield candidate lol

Sicarius.. Declares War Against Ivy League

Sicarius.. has declared war on Ivy League.
Within 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.

actually kelduum saying that 'people being -10 in hisec should be unable to board ships'...

Yea, apparently I didn't phrase that very well.

In short though -10 sec status people in hisec should have the local police follow and point/web/neut/jam them (depending on sec status of the system), otherwise the low security status becomes a mild inconvenience, rather than something which should be a hinderance.

I have no problem with ganking, piracy or whatever someones chosen method would be to get there, but security status should mean just a little more than it does currently - after all, EVE is about the repercussions.

the faction police does exactly that from the moment you board a ship. did you not know this?

I'll have to double check as its some time since I tried it, but they take a while to arrive, then either don't point, or they web then point, which is rather silly.

Until I've checked, consider the suggestion rescinded.

I don't support any Eve-Uni candidate due to their abuse of the wardec mechanics (the Infamous Eve-Uni DecShield).

There is Kelduum's history to back up my interpretations. All you have is wishful thinking.

For instance, on the day that CCP allowed corps to set-up multi-corp decshields (E-Uni's is 19 corporations strong), Kelduum let out a cheer on the forums. Kelduum has NEVER liked non-consensual PvP, he feels it is disruptive to the University. Every wardec suggestion he puts forth is to limit the ability of others to force the University into fights it just doesn't want to be part of.

The Uni will only be part of PvP on its own terms. That is the mission statement of Kelduum, and that is the unspoken promise he makes to EVE University members. They know he's going to go into the CSM and fight hard for a very particular type of war declaration mechanic, one that keeps the University at peace for exceptionally long periods of time.
