Please dont re-elect, the guy can't even operate a camera.

This is the guy operating the camera at CSM Summits: CCP Xhagen.

Please feel free to take up your concerns directly to him.

Trebor is a great guy and a hard worker for CSM stuff, i hope i get to work with him again on the CSM

Trebor did a ton of work the entire year and was actively involved in doing all the unfun stuff that make things actually happen. He really impressed me with his work ethic and focus on issues important to him and frankly you could do a lot worse than sending him back to Iceland.

Then I would expect as a member of the CSM and responsible for editing of the contributed minutes that you would best represent the interests of the members by being conscientiousness enough to follow up these issues? Surely that would be the less than amateur thing to do about this?

Will you support the removal of ABC ores from W-space to fix mining?

Trebor, during the Ice Interdiction campaign, you were pretty critical of what Goons were doing, but you never explained (where I saw it) exactly what you opposed or disliked about the campaign. Could you amplify on why you thought it was a bad thing?

D3 should probably instruct bruck sqad to give all their votes to Trebor. The 50 accounts, counting alts, that are left aren't going to do him much good and Trebor's going to need all the support he can get since he won't have large bloc support.

I did, multiple times - in advance of the summits. As I pointed out in the thread, multiple times. I even brought a Joby Gorillapod to the summits so that if an additional camera was available, it could be mounted in a position that would give more complete coverage. I am sorry that the level of detail in the minutes was not acceptable to you, but I believe we did the best we could given the circumstances.

If you promise to have a big Sissy fit because you missed your big-boy nap again, I would maybe give you my vote....

So considering that you did every thing you could to try to improve camera coverage, even bringing an extra stand that didn't get used, are we saying that CCP are to some extent then letting you down in being able to better fulfill CSM duties due to lack of cameras?

Very rarely in this life do people "get it right" the first time. CSM session recording has continually evolved and improved, from audio-only (CSMs using their laptops -- which we were typing on at the time, which made the quality crappy!) through video (Xhagen's minicam). For future summits, there has been serious discussion of live-streaming the meetings so that CSMs who are not present can monitor and provide feedback through skype chat.

Resource allocation issues come into play here; given limited resources, it is quite possible for people to honestly disagree about where they should be applied.

For example, if you had to choose between a second camera in the room (better coverage for minutes) and live-streaming for non-present CSMs (possibly better discussions), which would you choose?

So my answer to your question would be that I don't feel let down, but do look forward to "iteration".

Please consider voting for Trebor, out of all the current CSM's, he's the guy who akways posts updates and is good with communication. Not once have I read anywhere about Trebor getting involved in any eve related drama etc.
He doesn't have any axes to grind and he doesn't represent one of the big power blocs.
Give the guy your vote.

CONFRIMIGN I AM NEEDIGN TO MAKE A CLEER.

Posting in the hope for a candidacy view on the following: Bounty Hunting

The Bounty Hunting idea has been discussed by CSM with CCP (both Malcanis' post and an earlier one by Ogopogo Mu. We are in general agreement that a revision to the current mechanics along these sort of lines is a good thing, and have encouraged CCP to consider it.

Just another example of your CSM Tax ISK at work...

That's what I like about Trebor, he always get back to you, or he posts something in the forums to us all.

Well, given that I don't have a bloc behind me, I have to diligently wh*re for every vote I can get.

More fanservice going on here than a whole warehouse of anime. . which come to think of it, you have.

So what do you plan to do to help incursions as part of CSM7?

Do you plan to push hard for implementation of the modular Corp and POS system so that smaller corps can isolate potential spiez without shutting them out of everything if they are indeed legit?

Could we count of CSM7 to SERIOUSLY push the botting and RMT issue? I am sick of tired of hearing people say "Nothing CCP can do bout it" And even alliances having rules against reporting Blue Bots.

I like your platform when it comes to the POS revamp (Tho I think Summer would be better just my opinion) And am glad you seem to be the one putting pressure on them.

Yet your stance on incursions concerns me. Considering we have a few active CSM potentials calling for nerfs to incursions you using the "Isk-Faucet" Phrase concerns me.

The data proves that farming bounties injected multiple times the isk into the economy of incursions. A good chunk of that is likely bot based. I like that you state actions should be taken with hard data but unless we have CSM members pushing the community aspect of incursions I worry about the power the ones that want them nuked can wield.

100M+ An hour relies on a highly trained fleet of super shiny ships. A person farming Sanctums in nullsec with 2-3 accounts can make much more than that and have far less risk of Logi DC or other effects that gets community fleets into pods.

You seem to be serious about fairness in this regard and for that you have my respect. And my vote. My first considering a few other candidates responses were simply "nerf it" Or outright hoping to win to spite me (When did CSM to said person become an ego game instead of the issues?)

The safety of deep nullsec and the resulting risk/reward imbalances are a well-known issue -- and the devil is always in the details. If you want to see the Lords of Nullsec go apeshit, just suggest that truesec dynamically adjust based on the estimated risk in each system (say, by keeping track of player losses).

This would be hilarious (since we'd abuse the crap out of it by thunderdoming in rifters or smartbombing shuttles with neutral alts or some other such method).

It will be our loss if Trebor does not get re-elected.

Hello, Trebor! Hope you've been well.

Word on the street is that you are an anime fan - I was wondering if you have ever seen Serial Experiments Lain?

Yes indeed Industry does need to love & attention, esp the lab/factory limits of 11 each.

I know that the fanfest is held during the none peak time for Iceland to booste the tourist dollar during a really dead period. has there been any talk about a fanfest date change as a CSM platform.

Propaganda[/url]" (humor)

My Lost in EVE Debate (with Alekseyev Karde, Kelduum Revaan, and Leboe) is now available for your listening pleasure.

In it, I made a major campaign promise!

+1 for Trebor. Hmmm, might have to plex an account to get all my votes in!

Aw com'on T' you're a shoe-in, everybody knows it. -- just y'know, make sure everybody knows it.

I'm redirecting this reply from Kelduum's thread to mine, because I'll be damned if I'll give him a bunch of free bumps!


There's a word for candidates who blithely assume they're going to coast into office -- defeated.

While I am reasonably confident of being re-elected to CSM, the changes to the election system (only 7 asses in Iceland, in both senses of the word) and the increased competition means that making the top 7 is going to require every last vote I can scrounge.

If you think I'm a worthy candidate, then please take the time to make your views known to your in-game friends and encourage them to vote for me.

I'm going to give my esteemed colleague's thread a bump because I 110% agree with this post. The more people that vote, the better chance you have of hearing your voice heard and not being represented by a GÇÿblocGÇÖ candidate. Research everyone, ask them questions and cast your vote according to who you think can get the job done most effectively, not just who you think is funny or GÇÿedgy.

Might be too late, since there's a 30 day paid account period prior to elections to ensure entitlement as a voter.

I'm sorry to do this to you T but my question is;
as a real life business owner - would you employ a self confessed EVE addict?

If so, can I have a job

As such even with any humility you might consider as a result, I hope you get the chair position for CSM7.

Japanese players may enjoy this appeal for their votes.

Also, all pubbies on the fence about voting for this great man, know this: Goonswarm Loves Trebor, he would be our candidate of choice if The Mittani wasn't running. I for one back him to the hilt.

Do you see any merit in retaining the services of an outside negotiator, not to act as chair but to independently record the proceedings and produce raw copy for CSM use and edited minutes for public consumption?

If so, what would be the fairest way to fund that work?

Trebor did a ton of work the entire year and was actively involved in doing all the unfun stuff that make things actually happen. He really impressed me with his work ethic and focus on issues important to him and frankly you could do a lot worse than sending him back to Iceland.

Good luck on being a member or CSM 7, you have my 2 votes, but in all honesty i hope you don't get chair, because the real work happens in the trenches, not at the head of the table.

That and if the Mittani did pay you the 1 trillion isk, i would hate to see you have to waste any effort to paying out, I'd rather you were focused on FiS.

A dedicated public servant must be prepared to make sacrifices for his constituents.

Considering how vehemently bad Mittani was calling you out during the last elections (for CSM6), and that his tone changed pretty drastically after working alongside you, I can only surmise that you do good work and put in lots of effort.

Not that it means anything, but +1 from me. If I had another vote, you'd totally get it.

CCP should make IRL medals for each completed CSM term, imho.

as with almost all the unique ships it would sold to only sit and rot, too valuable to use, or used and blown up in high sec by someone willing to suicide for it.

Nah, I'd fly it and let people try and blow it up, just for the lols.

Of course, given that it's a diplomatic shuttle, it ought to have diplomatic immunity...

Finally, I intend to continue to push hard for a proper reform of the CSM voting process, aimed at reducing the number of "wasted" votes (which unfairly reduces the voting power of non-bloc candidates, and thus reduces the number of their representatives on the CSM). The CSM should properly represent the interests of the entire community.

The CSM voting process should use Instant Runoff Voting. It's a reasonable iteration on the current system and makes sure every vote counts (even if people don't get their first or second choice).

Also, please fix POSes, thanks, bye.

They should be like n00b ships, respawn every time you dock with a pod and in the hold should be a spork and one broken monocle.

While I have had and have expressed my concerns over the activeness of the CSM members Trebor is by far the most active I see on the forums. Trebor you are definately topping my list but I have not made a final decision as to who will get my vote. Best of luck to you and I do hope you remain on the CSM.

Let me tell you a liitle tale

/snip

Let me tell you a little tale my fellow ignorant capsuleer. Trebor did a great job in organizing and elicitating feedback from all player groups as part of the 10,000 papercuts initiative/thread. This project is now a new SCRUM team in CCP, and this team has delivered a lot of the recent features and fixes to core gameplay.

all I can say is that I am doing everything I can behind the scenes to make sure it gets considered.

Mate believe It ain't just on the weebs I'm a rough Mofo

I live in one of the poorest area of the poorest cities in Britian.

Imagine the face just to left on a 6' 200 pd scouser and you have probably got a fair picture of me.

Meanwhile back at the intrweebs...

I also do a fair 'Forum Whiteknight' act too if you'd like to see it

Prioritization Crowdsourcing

Where's the -1 vote button for spamming?

They're just the type to give mouth on a forum, knowing full well that they won't ever be asked to cash the cheques their mouth is writing.

Candidate Eligibility

To be considered for eligibility, a candidate must submit a photocopy of a valid passport to CCP. Once CCP has verified the playerGÇÖs identity and confirmed his or her account status, the candidateGÇÖs real name and character selection of choice will be officially announced to the community.

Please note: Icelandic citizens are only required to submit a driverGÇÖs license or other valid photo ID. All candidates have to be able to travel to Iceland; CCP will not arrange any permits to enter the country should visa or similar be required.

Warnings for serious EVE-related misconduct might bar the person from running for candidacy.
Candidates are expected to be active on the CSM forums and participate in the discussion of topics. They are also expected to adhere to the EULA/TOS and carry themselves in a manner that sets an example for other players to follow. In addition, they must be willing and able to travel to Iceland once during their term for a direct meeting with the CCP Council. Should a Representative be unable to attend this meeting, an Alternate will attend in his or her place. Transportation to and from Iceland, plus lodging, lunch, and dinner will be provided by CCP. Candidates are responsible for all other expenses incurred during the trip. Elected Representatives and Alternates are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before commencing their term.

If a candidate is unable to fulfill these requirements, the candidate with the next highest vote tally will be given their position. This process will continue until there are a total of nine Representatives and five Alternates.

Got evemail from you regarding the vote. All my toons from my 2 accounts received mail. It shows that you work hard to ask for our vote....anyway...you got my 2 votes.

Greetings, pilot!

Apologies for addressing you unsollicited, however, for the fifth time, the Council of Stellar Management will be elected, and you must choose your candidate to represent you to CCP for the coming year!

PS: Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or suggestions.

rofl at all the hate this spamtard has created. someones not getting elected.

Hi folks,

I've taken the time to write a blog post about why I evemailed people.

I realized that this was a calculated risk when I did it, but I thought it was an interesting maneuver. And you have to admit, it's added some drama to the elections.

When all the votes are counted, I'll let you know what the estimated effect was.

Yes, spamming is a novel and new concept, never seen before.

Very interesting, indeed.

What Malcanis meant was that he was hoping people would just delete trebor's emails and move on with their lives...not start threads about it or make angry posts about it.

I hope you can give me some short thoughts about the following points. ...

- state of mining (i.e. worse paid profession)
- Local chat (and related "Intel-problematics")
- missionrunning (some might say it's boring)
- racial imbalances ( eh, winmatar?)

So, let me ask you this. How do you intend to make EVE online more true to the published lore behind the game? Tell me how and I will vote for you.

I request though that you push for the freedom to wear nothing but boxers while in station. After all it is supposed to be your private quarters and you should feel relaxed in them.... I need a lazy boy in mine if you can help swing it.

Got my vote

GTFO Missy, but yeah got mine too.

May as well have mine to

I had no issue with getting the emails either. Though, I do believe a better approach is to look up CEOs of various empire corporations and alliances and reach to them; the influencers. You will get more mileage that way.

What? You want Trebor to go through the 1% in order get permission to receive votes from the 99%?

Hey T, when you get in these haters are going to be on your case for not talking to them enough. gofig.

x2 votes from me...

Thanks Trebor for taking the time to mail individuals about your campaign and intentions. Hard work and dedication yield results. Decided to vote your way this year and also forward your information to my corporation and friends. Hope to see you continue to help better our community and thanks for the continued support!

TBH, roleplaying/lore issues are a bit outside the traditional scope of CSM activities. The bottom line is, in a fight between lore and gameplay, gameplay is going to win.
