Thank you for your hardwork in CCP and in CSM. It is truly appreciated.
I can't see you not getting back on the player council.
When you do, please try to reign back on the appearance of unmitigated smugness.
CCP are employers in the leisure industry. They make their bread out of people with time and money to waste.
They may have made some disastrous PR errors in promoting and developing their game, but big H's bottom line is good because he has made some really tough real life decisions.
So go ahead and promote the much needed changes that you would like to highlight. Just modify your tone a tad will you.
Thanks. |

Are you not concerned that in fully opening it's doors to the CSM CCP as lost full control of it's product while remaining legally responsible for it? |

From this and one other of your comments, you seem to be very concerned with CCP's lot in life, rather than our (the paying customers) continued contribution to CCP's coffers - you're not CCP Zulu in disguise are you? So far we've seen one CSM delegate removed for being naughty with privileged information - the NDA they sign must be working since we haven't seen any more of this behaviour since. Would you prefer to have an EVE without the CSM? Serious question, no troll. I'm pretty sure the CSM would be a lesser entity without Seleene, so he gets my vote. Given the obvious (and not so obvious) agendas being pushed by certain other "alliance" candidates it's going to be very important to have at least one voice of reason and sanity being heard. And make no bones about it...Seleene does get heard. +1 to Seleene for CSM 7.
To be honest I am concerned. I do think the CSM has been high-jacked by big fight politics and not enough emphasis has been put on more subtle economic warfare.
No, I'm not Zulu, I'm a self-taught self-employed graphic designer raised in Manchester England who spends far too much time playing games. I'm a bit worried that you compared me to CCP Zulu. Something about him made me feel slightly nervous. I know that is uncharitable to say bit it's true.
I do think Seleene has the games best interests at heart and has walked through fire to position himself where he is now. But he was (I believe) instrumental in directing CCP away from incarna. For that I'm afraid I have to place my vote elsewhere. |

No, m8, my problem with anything Incarna-related is that CCP needs a proper plan for it, ...
I didn't steer CCP away from having full body avatars or any of the stuff associated with it - I took a stand that after five years of development Incarna was a poorly released expansion with exactly zero game play and crippling graphics performance issues.
In that case how would you feel about completely dropping the corporation management interface from the neocom and completely re-mastering it as a drag and drop interface only accessible in avatar in station. I mean, what sane corp leader does that hellish stuff in space anyway?
IGÇÖd love to see a user friendly corporation management interface that allowed me to group certificates to roles, roles to ship loadouts, corp loadouts to squads, squads to wings, wings to (wing) formations, wing formations to fleets and fleets to allied battled groups all with a one flick toggle as who has access to each named set.
incarna is ideally suited for the creation of strategists planning tool, with theoretical dps counts and mining yield calculators that can be shared real time with other directors in the planning room at HQ.
Even in HighSec that would make HQ an important location to defend not just another random throw away office.
Can you with your stated positon justify the resources required to pull that off for the limited number of people who would immediately enjoy the benefits? Obviously everyone would benefit from being managed more effectively but it would be an intangible improvement to most people.
TheyGÇÖre going to have to do something like that to manage the planet side dust-busters anyway aren't they?
Or would it have to wait after your proposed industrialist expansion? |

following on from the above - sorry, IGÇÖm on a roll - I donGÇÖt know if youGÇÖve had the pleasure of reading Raymond E FeistGÇÖs Daughter of the Empire trilogy - but, a large and enjoyable part of the political shenanigans that were described there revolved around the HouseGÇÖs symbol, which if captured meant that all that that houses property and identity were handed over to the victor.
What would you say if each corp - NOT alliance - possessed a similar capture the flag artifact that had to be moved in order to move the corp HQ and enable corp managment in station?
IGÇÖve not really thought this through and expect folk to shoot this musing full of holes and nothing more - especially since the GÇ£no cool new featureGÇ¥ kids are in session - but the ideas out there for you to consider.

If you are talking FPS action, there has never been any indication that CCP will EVER go in that direction. In fact, at Fanfest 2009, they made what was called the 'Wooden Spoon' argument. Basically, they don't want people killing each other with wooden spoons in stations, aka, no avatar PVP. At present, with the current resources allocated, I can't see something like this ever seeing the light of day unless there has been a drastic 180 degree change no one is aware of.
I was thinking more in terms of station / gate / system blockades to prevent directors getting to tactically important command tools but it's not important.

A lot of what you are talking about seems to, SEEMS TO, be taken from a couple of concept trailers that CCP released over the past few years. There is little chance of that particular 'Vision of the Future' coming to pass until CCP resolves some very basic issues with EVE's every day game play and how that's supposed to link to DUST.
Your right that is exactly where I got the impression from. I have to say it is a tad cruel for a company (or anyone) to even hint at promises they have no immediate plans to deliver.
I really can't fault anything else you've commented on. Your vision for veteran high skilled players is unparalleled and seems to surpass CCP in clarity and direction. I would like to thank you for your considered responses an wish you all the best

I'm coy, I like being courted.
but since Keldruum has not kicked me off his campaign thread in anger, it would be poor behaviour to back-stab him at he last hurdle.  |

The circumstances of the fight are the real thrill GÇô the story that led to 1000 players clashing in the first place. Of all the things about EvE that change with fleet size, narrative actually transforms more interestingly than anything else. The smaller the gang the more the pilots themselves are the heroes of the story. As fleets get larger, the characters in the tale become the corporations involved, and eventually the alliances, coalitions, and megalomaniacs that make the news.
I absolutely agree. This is the main reason why I donGÇÖt understand why 0.0 entities donGÇÖt consider themselves role-players and even despise the term. YouGÇÖve just described the epitome of role-play.
I do however understand why the link to role-play and empire space is frowned upon. Because it is too static, It is far too rigid even in Faction Warfare. So claustrophobic in fact that Gallente wannabe role-players are stuck with a Caldari Titen in Luminaire that we know we have absolutely no hope of shifting through in game mechanics. Could you tolerate that in your sovereign space?
This game will be real for role players when Rhoden shakes my hand and congratulates me for winning the presidency of the Gallente Empire and a none-violent coup d'+¬tat is widely known as a Snowflake special. |

Why Seleene, for a Sebestor you sure know how to get this Gallente chickGÇÖs attention.
But iGÇÖm not in this for love nor money, I really think there is a fundamental problem with RP in EVE. As an EVE born - as The Mittani describes it: EVE promises a new player the universe and delivers just this: nothing, nothing, lies, disappointment and then the freedom to kick at each other in a way that is completely divorced from game lore.
I remember being devastated to find that the Hacking skill has nothing to do with breaking into another persons ship so that I could hi-jack it.
I remember being proud of my EVEmon skill plan to fly a Moros built to be an efective bounty hunter only to hear, actually donGÇÖt bother mate the bounty hunting system is a joke.
I still save up mission acquired boosters in the hope that CCP will revive the smuggling mechanic.
RPers donGÇÖt play this game for anything CCP has done for them as a new player, they play it despite of the glaring holes in the game mechs. |

Can't vote for a grown man who plays a female in an online space game sorry :(

phew, it's a mess out there with nonsense agendas and dummy policies designed to distract and confuse poor witless pubbie
i particularly like the mitt-Meister Eckhart's "vote for me I'm a bastard" strategy, closely followed by the fellow with ALL THE GUD POASTNG
It's nice to stand on a rock of sanity once in a while. I'm saying that because I know you have kids, and anyone who looks after a family with kids gets the nonsense of youth scared out of them by the harsh realities pretty quickly. Hilmar knows that his number one priority is to keep his kids fed, clothed and sheltered. That is why I respect his leadership of CCP and your level headed representation on the CSM
wishing you all the best. sincerely. |
