Well, if I come out and endorse Meissa, some of his constituents might see that as a reason to /not/ vote for him. Meissa was the primary lowsec rep on CSM6 and he did a damn fine job. He did the work, putting many hours into it and posting regularly. He also was happy to oppose me - he doesn't shirk from an argument.
He doesn't like the fact that I'm arrogant and manipulative - who does, besides my own people? - but he's a fine CSM rep and doesn't back down. He was easily one of the top CSM6 reps.
I'd encourage everyone who voted for him last year to again do so.

The Assembly Hall was the result of the times we were in. The situation for most of the term was dire. There were no development resources available for our requests other than small ones. And almost all of the small requests were already in the backlog, the ones in the assembly hall being large ones or repeats. I read them but giving them support at this time would be telling them "well, I support your proposal, but it's pointless anyway and you won't see it come", which people would tire really fast of hearing. The situation changed at the end and you'll see posts I supported and commented on before the summit.
Politics are usually a tricky affair. Some of us are vying for votes from the same population, so it's difficult to expect praise other than from people who don't overlap with your voter base, particularly since there's fewer seats this time. At the same time credit where credit is due, and I usually post a message of support for people who did a good job representing their constituents, whether I agree with their point of view, their methods, etc. or not. The thing is that if people are not convinced by my candidacy, I'd rather they vote for someone who doesn't suck. So that's what I'll do like every other year. But I'd take it up to the others if you want to know what they think of me.
Since he took the time to post here (my thanks to him), I'll at least comment on Mittani. We spent most of the term agreeing on what constituted the priorities for the CSM as a whole. More resources, less shiny, low cost high return items, boosting industry and populating 0.0 (farms and fields), rebalancing supercapitals, those were the direst needs. Mittani did a fine job communicating, promoting unity in the CSM when it was needed most, and helping foster communication channels with CCP. For this I'm happy to see him run again. He also did a good job defending the needs and wants of his electorate. When it comes to how to change the things we agreed needed change, the fact that I happen to disagree with his priorities and some of his ideas change nothing to my pleasure of working with him, on the contrary since they help paint a good picture for CCP to base decisions on.
In terms of endorsement, I can quote just a few people I've worked with over the years have said:
Quote:
Meissa is extremely analytical, well-versed in game mechanics and cause-and-effect of those mechanics, and able to express himself and his ideas very well.
His game knowledge is excellent and approach to presenting/supporting his opinions both in our internal forums and at Summits is very effective. So while he's one of the "quiet" CSM members, he contributes a lot of value.
-- Mynxee, CSM 5 chairwoman
Quote:
Meissa, despite not being a good or well known poaster is very dedicated, knowledgeable and, something which will be VERY important this time around, pretty impartial and balanced in his views (perhaps frustratingly so at times ). He's also a very nice chap and good fun on the lash for a Belgian.
-- Larkonis Trassler, CSM 3
Quote:
He knows the part of eve that he plays really well and he makes sound arguments even if i dont agree with them, and i think you should vote for him

Can you shortly expand on that. Because while I am no expert, as I see it there is no safe in WH space. Yes given sufficient people you could theoretically keep your WH isolated 24/7 by collapsing every new K162 that appears and not opening your statics. However, if someone wants you, they can still get you. A sufficiently motivated group can find your WH and bring with it enough firepower to stop you from closing it. It is just a matter of how much effort each party wants to undertake in either defence or offence. Neither side has a overwhelming advantage. While defence might have the bonus of location and thus hardware, the offensive side has the bonus of time of engagement and as such can dictate when and if the battle happens.
I had written a lengthy post to address your questions, but the forums ate it and now I'm annoyed... I'll get to it again.
The short version is: I don't care about a stabilizer itself, I care about providing a balanced environment. I know full well that the logistics aspect is what makes WH thrive and that needs to be preserved. What I'm doing is looking if a way can be found to address the issues that exist without negatively impacting the current playstyle. It's not high on my priority list, if a way can be found, good, if one can't, then the current situation is better than a botched change.

I disagree with Meissa on some stuff (wh stabilizer), but he is a good dude, and does work hard to represent folks who don't get a lot of attention (mostly non-English speaking players). I'd be happy to serve with him again on the CSM.

Having worked with Meissa on CSM3 I can confirm from first hand that he really knows a great deal about most areas of the game. Furthermore, he leaves the Rooks and Kings name tag at the door when it comes to finding solutions to issues in a manner that simply make sense from a game mechanics point of view. This neutral stance applies to discussions with other CSMs as well as discussing with CCP representatives. He can equally well respond to design questions asked by CCP and irks raised by the community.
He is reknown for his participation in and love for WH, Low-sec, and FW. His language skills are not simply fassade or a marketing stunt, but he actively seeks feedback in French, Spanish and German. And lastly, I hold him in high esteem as he was very patient with me being a high-sec dweller and can optimally lay out why high-sec needs to be a risky space after all. |

I'm not voting for Meissa but I am bumping his thread because so many of the candidates on page 1 are terrible. Everyone who's enjoyed Crucible should try to send CSM6 members who aren't Darius III back this year.

Could you tell us a little bit more of what you think should be done to WH mechanics to improve them without breaking them ?
I believe things like interactive broadcasts and 15ppl watchlists come from you initiative (both these features are awesome btw), do you have some other ones in mind ?
This year I'll be voting for you again, thank you for your hard work |

It is my considered that Meissa is the best CSM delegate in the history of the office. At the summit I attended, we had a lot of hard questions for CCP. They gave us a lot of flim-flam answers, and after they finished with the BS-Meissa was right there with statements along the lines of "What you said is very nice-but you failed to answer our question, your answer failed to address points A, B and C-thats what we wanted to know"
Meissa knows how the process works and uses that knowledge to press the agenda. He is one of the three candidates that IMO are vital to ensuring that the CSM's voice is heard in an ocean of CCP crap. I hope to see you at future summits. Your voice and your ideas are a benefit to players in every profession, throughout New Eden.
CCP and even the CSM have a lot of hardworking men and women who are very intelligent, working on making New Eden a better place-it is CCP management that I fear the most. |

hi while i will give you my support just one question which is as follows :
what do you think should be done about the large allainces controlling most of null sec should they be limited to how big they can grow and also should they be limted on how many R64 moons they can hold as they now hold the strangelhold over the whole of eve. |

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. |

While I may have pushed for interactive broadcast, longer watchlist (and reordering), as well as other improvements both small and large, I scarcely can take credit for them. At least not alone. Part of the process that goes into convincing CCP the wishes expressed by you all are the ones that should be focused upon revolves in providing convincing arguments, and while I did do my bit, others lent their voice as well. That said, these were among my favourite "small improvements" that benefit the most compared to the amount of effort required to make them happen.
As far as WH improvements go, I have continuously considered that Wormholes were one of the few things CCP got right from the start. I obviously advocated small changes that happened (like probing UI, faster anchoring/unanchoring, etc.) but others I have been advocating for have yet to come to the game, so I'll keep pushing for those. Among them you'd see T3 refitting, easier POS configuration, personal hangars, the ability to change implant set inside a wormhole (I offered using rorqs as a way of doing it, but I'm not attached to specific solutions, if CCP comes up with another way that meets the needs), etc.
Since WHs work fine as they are, I wouldn't recommend any large changes at this stage. The equilibrium that makes them a nice place for small entities to live is such that it needs to be handled carefully. So, it's more a question of improving living conditions, improving on content, and making sure changes that are introduced to other areas of the game integrate well with wormhole life.

This is a tricky question. I see the current situation where 0.0 is a place for large alliances almost exclusively to be a bad one. On the other hand, it makes a lot of sense that a group of 1000 players should have an easy time beating a group of 200 in combat. I'm also opposed to placing arbitrary limits (can't hold more than X moons) as it goes against the sandbox style of game that produces such wonderful emergent behaviour.
Now, I want to find ways by which smaller alliances or corporations can take part meaningfully to 0.0 without being always at the mercy of the large alliances. As pointed out above, it makes sense that they should have issues against larger groups, but steps can be made to make large groups look kindly upon smaller ones, as opposed to perceiving them as nuisances. Treaties "enforcing" vassality/rent/blue/... could go a long way. This would allow the smaller ones to have a place to call home without having to join the larger alliance. Improvements to mechanics (through treaties or otherwise) that would allow bridges and other structures to be benefited by friends in as painless a way could also go a long way.
An emergent aspect that would also be favourable to a mixed population scenario would be a revitalization of industry in 0.0. Industrialists tend to be smaller groups (comparatively), and it could/should be beneficial for a large warring empire to have a number of friendly close industrialists to provide services. How to reach that objective is tricky but the joint proposal by many members present and past labelled as "farms and fields" would be great.
As far as R64 moons are concerned, I strongly favour a rebalancing of "alliance earning" mechanics. As it is, alliance income comes from such resources as R64s, while personal income derives from activities such as ratting, plexing and, for the 3 people who do it, PI. I have been working with CCP to try and make alliance income more aligned with personal income. At the same time, R64 serve currently as focus points where conflict happens (and that's much needed, PvP is the fuel needed for industry to be meaningful, it's also very fun). So, these are the paths I would pursue rather than placing hard limits on number of R64s held by a single entity.
