I am pleased to accept the nomination for the official CSM candidate of The Rational Party of EVE. I will begin issuing committee assignments, so please get me your preferences soon!

'rational' is tautological just like rational choice theory and it is completely meaningless

Some unsolicited advice:


If you really want the high-sec vote, you're not going to get it through forum posts alone. Not by a long shot.

Use the advertising methods employed by Phaser, Inc..

Assemble the "party" quickly, and assign each member a section of highsec. Agree on a single message, and get to spamming local and spread the word. Use Dotlan to determine peak activity times of every single highsec ice belt, and make sure someone is there multiple times per day chatting with the locals.

You must be active in your approach, and that means spending a ridiculous amount of time in game campaigning.


Do that, every single day until the vote, and you just might get a seat on the council. If 8 months of that can result in a trillion isk scam payout, surely a few weeks of "campaigning" can net you 800+ votes or more.

mining is pretty irrational behavior, you should help them see reason by dropping brutixes on them

In the absence of a Brutix, does a Talos make a suitable replacement?

Sounds good so far .

Any ideas how the council will work and look like? In general I'm interested to work with this party, if I find the time to do so.

I bet they want to outlaw aggression mechanics entirely, stop suicide ganking, and make highsec a nursery for all the people who can't take the heat of regular highsec.

Thanks for signing your posts! It just reminds us exactly who it is we shouldn't vote for!

Issler

I was talked back into do it. Sorry it will lose me the goon vote, I was counting on you guys so much!

Issler

After some great feedback we will be renaming our party

Mining
Missions
Keeping CCP's feet to the fire for ambulation

and secondarily

Can flipping/wreck stealing/aggression/low sec gate mechanics

Would you classify yourself more as "pro-walking in stations" or "anti-flying in space"?

Do you have specific plans for the can/wreck/aggression if elected?

I still don't understand why you sign your posts. These aren't memos.

Issler

someone convinced him it was a good idea

if only i didn't have this accursed goonwaffe tag i could convince him to do literally anything

Well, I'm a her and unlikely even if you didn't have the tag. You can go back and see from my first posts I've been signing my posts.

But, I'll tell you what, I'll ignore your tag, so give it your best shot!


Issler

Forsoothe! I did not know that women were allowed on this holonet channel.

Do you stick to single word ideas out of laziness or is it one of those "the more I say the more my inherent worthlessness will become obvious even to the dumbest of voters" things? Curious voter wanting to know :)

And the goon spam begins. I would suggest that the more the goons troll here the more I look like the best "anti-goon" candidate.

Issler

We'll have private forums on another site, regular online meetings based on the council schedules. I want to make it flexible enough to accomodate folks with time constraints. Basically folks with great ideas and passion for Eve but that can't be commit to the CSM because of the time requirements.

Issler

Is there a way to delete the spam in a candidacy thread? Would be nice to discuss and ask questions here without the usual childish Goon mudslinging.

Just because you don't agree with our posts doesn't make them spam.

Space Pants Party would be more appropriate for you.

im a barbie girl! in a barbie world!

Riiiight, you aren't spamming . No way...

I don't think ambulation is enhancing the game play without pugilism skills and such! I do think that the players who appreciate the rich side of the game that has to do with ship building and all that it entails need a voice in CSM. That voice is the Voice of Reason. We don't want to nerf the PvP side and at the same time we don't wanna nerf our capabilities to provide rocking ships for those who love it. It's really quite "reason"able. Players pay money to participate in this game and if it sucks for those who want to excel at industrial enterprises there will be a lot less players paying to play. Simple. We need a Voice of Reason in the CSM to remind CCP of this fact. If the game is only geared towards Goons style of play, there will be a lot of quitters. So let's get Issler in there to represent the players who want to live in this space and have a decent chance of excelling. We don't complain about the low sec or null sec game mechanics when they give us an even chance. We just don't want either area to be nerfed to favor one or the other, and that is why we want Issler and The Voice Of Reason.

Industry is what gives you goonies the chance to have fun, who else makes you ships, ammo, modules if not those "irrational" miner and industrialists. Sure there are NPC corps but those OP SOB (excuses the language) should have been delt with long ago.

I support the voice of reason, because next to tears , industry makes this sanbox turn. If there was no industry, who else would you gank, explode, molest, etc..

You need industry as much as you need O-¦. Maybe not for the apparent reasons but if you think about it, you shall see, it does more than you originally would have thought.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if anything is true but I think it is. So -»\_(pâä)_/-»

Okay, thanks for the answer. If you want I would like to work on that council. Any terms of admission?

Mining is on top of that list. And mining is the foundation of any industry.

And before anyone feels to be the smartass today: Yes, I know that there seems to come a lot of minerals from mission loot and drone compounds. But I hope that this problem is also covered by the Rational Party. To give miners back their profession and make it a more active and interesting profession, that should be the goals in my opinion.

I'm sure she can work out those things a bit.

But do we really need a "plan" what exactly we want to change? I understand that the CSM isn't about the CSM members to do the actual game designers job. The CSM members are there to give feedback to CCP about the current state of the game and the wishes of the community.

In the end, it's not about what Issler wants or a special idea, but a general idea of what players who voted her want to be adressed by CCP. She has to show CCP what our problems are and how we feel about different areas of the game and upcoming changes that might be discussed during the meetings. To sort out that problems we/Issler bring to CCPs attention is CCPs job, the job of the real game designers..

I agree with you - industry is absolutely a lifeblood of the game, and I don't think you'll find a non-crazy person that will disagree with that.

What on earth does missions, ambulation and can flipping have to do with any of that, though? Those are apparently Issler's "key areas" as mentioned in this OP.

4. Change the mining interfaces to make botting a lot harder. I believe there are things CCP could change in the client the would increase the difficulty of botting substantially and that with simple changes every patch break every bot that managed to get around the anti-botting measures.
Issler

2. Make all fields dynamically spawned.

This might have made some people angry.

What does this mean exactly, any links?

you are self proclaimed as the RAtional Party of Eve, this the perfect opportunity to address some of the more irrational parts of the space fantasy in which we all play.

An example the constant thrust from ships while it holds a constant speed. Casually explained as a side effect from the warp core, however A micro-warp drive which uses similar principle should produce this friction against space, slowing it down. This sort of thinking would be a boon to any CSM candidate, what is your opinion on this sort of thing?

What would you say to the idea of flying in space with our space barbies/pants? Like, I could fly a giant ship of myself. Maybe some kind of mining supercapital that literally eats asteroids and poops out ore? Or maybe I could punch POSes! I really like this idea, what do you think?

Look, I'm just looking for a compromise that will make everyone happy. You will get your dolls and pants but they will fly in space!

Alternately, what would you say to ships walking around in stations?

It's really hard to see how your refusal to compromise on your extremist views will be helpful if you do become elected to the Council of Stellar Management. Anyhow, what about being able to dress up ships? I'd like a bowtie on my Bestower, for example.

I suspect my insistence on sanity in my thinking may mean I can't represent you or any of the voices in your head. But I encourage you to run for the CSM 7 yourself!

Issler

If I do, should I run as the nominee of the Voice of Rationality Party or the Reasonable Party?

Who will make the final determination as to the person to head the Party? By forming and renaming it are you the defacto candidate and the rest of this is window dressing to garner support? Are you considering actively recruiting from the smaller candidates that may fit the bill?
