The Council of Stellar Management
Candidate Infozone
The intent of this thread is to provide a collective listing of candidates for the first Council of Stellar Management, and to provide easy access to their campaign material.
If you are a candidate and would like to see your information in this space, please feel free to reply to this thread with the appropriate information you would like to see associated with your name. Currently that should include your name (duh), a little tagline that summarizes you, and any links to websites, commercials, threads, etc. which are related to your campaign.
This is NOT meant to be a CSM discussion thread! If you're a candidate and want to speak to an issue, make a thread elsewhere so people can discuss it there freely. Please and thanks. :)

I can think of many others who's going for candidate. They just need to list themselves. Would be nice if we could get a good list, so people can research their candidates before the election itself.

The large alliances already have input to CCP via the Devs and GMs who have their alts with them (and there is no substitute for direct experience, so this is a good thing) but the small alliances, stand-alone corps, solo players who mission, manufacture, mine or trade don't always have a place to get their views across. For more than two years I have mostly been that solo player, making isk however I could, making new friends and enjoying life in New Eve.
I am an independent candidate; although a member of a corp and an alliance I did not ask their permission, nor seek their explicit support. I believe the CSM will work best where the members are not trying to represent some few but where they seek to support the many.
I offer myself as your candidate.
I ask for your vote so that you may have a voice.

Great thread. Finally a place with the relevant links and info in one place. I hope the OP takes the certain amount of PR power that comes with operating the this post seriously, and remains objective - not brushing aside any candidates by not putting them in the thread.
(great podcast btw, been listening for two weeks, returned to New Eden for the second time a few days ago)

I'm not brushing aside anyone who posts in this thread. You'll notice I'm also not adding anyone who hasn't asked to be put here? I've been asked by several people over the last couple of days why so-and-so isn't on the list yet. If they want to be here, I'll add them. Otherwise, I'm not out to do their campaigning for them.
Also, thanks about the podcast :)
To the candidates: If you've stepped up in a forum thread regarding some kind of issue or question of some sort and want that listed too (linked below your name) then let me know and I can add it. Would be a cool way for folks to see what your opinions are instead of having to hunt them down. :)

OZ is largely doing that, my point was that if a particular candidate had a particular point that he/she wanted to focus people's attention on, then I could link to that here.
If they want. If they don't, then hey that's cool too. :)

To the candidates: IMO, your candidacy would gather a great deal of relevance if (on your webpages/blogs) you supplied a list of hot button issue threads in which you have posted your views. Preferably threads showing a history of your involvement with the community. I know I would find such things helpful in my decision making.

I'll say it again, I'm not adding anyone who doesn't asked to be added. So if a candidate doesn't know the thread's here or hasn't asked to be on the list by replying to this thread like the others have done (exception is Lavista, who I contacted directly so I had something to start with) then they're not on here.
It's up to them to decide whether there's value in being added. At some point though yes, I hope this will be a complete list. :)

Umm, from what I can tell, there are more candidates who understand high-sec than not. You've got a great selection to choose from, and it continues to expand!

I was under the impression that the CSM was a chance for players to discuss the CCP some of the things that urgently need to be addressed in EVE: POS-related tedium (both in warfare and setting the damn things up), potentially disruptive balancing decisions, the role of supercaps and, of course, the Strange White Star.
I don't really see how Piracy is really something that needs to be seriously discussed at something like this, unless you think it's somehow fundamentally broken or unfair.

I don't really see how Piracy is really something that needs to be seriously discussed at something like this, unless you think it's somehow fundamentally broken or unfair.
See, I actually think that enhancing the attraction and providing better options and functionality for niche professions (like piracy) is the key to breaking down some of the really bad things (blobby lag fleets) in the Eve combat system. Improve the tools and options for pirates, anti pirates, bounty-hunters, mercs, spies and assassins and you take steps towards breaking Eve out of the "who can blob the gate with the most ships" paradigm that currently plagues combat.
Both pirates and (anti pirates) need their interests represented on the CSM not only to make the game more fun for them, but because in doing so we can increase overall combat variety and diversity of engagement opportunity and hopefully improve the efficiency of the whole server.
If piracy was a profession with better ransoming tools, fire-to-disable, specialist kit and module options to make that aspect of the game more immersive and alluring perhaps we'd have a few more pirates plying their trade and a few less mindless 0.0 territorial zombies blobbing out the fleet fights in 0.0 and demanding more "node-power" from the embattled devs every time a POS comes out of reinforced mode.
Point is, everything is connected and the CSM needs the vision and imagination to advise on changes that will be universally good for Eve the game ... not just X,Y,Z special interest groups or political power blocs.

To the candidates: IMO, your candidacy would gather a great deal of relevance if (on your webpages/blogs) you supplied a list of hot button issue threads in which you have posted your views. Preferably threads showing a history of your involvement with the community. I know I would find such things helpful in my decision making.
This, big time. I went to each candidate's website, read all the material, and what did I get? Mostly a lot of political speak about idealism, generic, sweeping terms and calls for "improvement," a bit of personal background info, and claims to "listen to the people." Very few candidates actually offered a concrete list of issues they intended to address at the CSM and their personal position on those issues. You want my vote? You had better give some idea on what you plan to do with the position once you get it. Broad generalizations on "making things better" aren't going to cut it. Give us details, I wan't to know your position. If you don't have a position, why should we even consider voting for you? If you're not informed about the current issues in EVE now, why should we think you will be later? Showing a solid position on issues tells us you are serious about this. All the grandstanding in the world won't make up for a lack of perspective and knowledge. You've essentially got 3 days with CCP to make a difference, you had better have some sort of action plan to pull this off right.
For those few candidates who did take the time to post their priority issues and positions, thank you for this vital information. With that I am able to easily tell whose ideas I agree with, and whose I do not.
As for the candidates list, only 11? I'm sure there's a few others out there, but still, if 9 of them are going to CSM, at this point it won't matter a whole lot who anyone votes for, they'll nearly all win by default! Here's hoping for a larger field of candidates soon, or else maybe the vote would be more effective if CCP let us choose who not to send.

I'd like to know that too. People will always work for their lobby and rather promote their own ideas before others. I am all for making the game better. But many candidates have their special agenda (e.g. players that live in hisec-empire primarily or 0.0 warfare) so why shouldn't there be a candidate with focus on the pirate's way`?

Probably the one with the most personal interest in Piracy would be Verone. Being the CEO of VETO and all.

I don't know his campaign material but from the few posts i've seen from him it didn't look very promising regarding my inquiry. Ironically at this point i'd rather vote for hardin if it came down to only those two. You know him being CVA and all.
Although he isn't a pirate by far i do believe that he can tell good game mechanic that enhance lowsec for non-pirates from outright and utter destructive nerfs of piracy both as profession and way of life in eve. Particularly because CVA knows to cope with such things under the current game mechanics also.
edit: ermm and for the record i don't question verones ability ot do that just as well. only his will to prioritize his judgement over what the many may say.

The words have different and important meanings jade. Just as you use disreputable incorrectly [I am in fact not acting in a manner that impugns my moral character], you are talking about things in your post regarding modifying human behavior without using the right terms. If you want more people to pursue other activities you need to either lower the cost, or increase the benefit.
Structure was probably the wrong word too, but it serves the purpose of defining how we can reduce costs.

Well since we're entering into an election campaign I'd argue strongly that you tampering with the chosen words of an electoral rival is actually the very definition of a disreputable act. I've asked you to present your own speeches and not try to misinterpret and smear the words of others. The reputable thing for you to do at this point is to nod, agree, and henceforth make arguments on your own merit rather than playing silly misquoting games for ill-conceived notions of debating advantage.
It seems we'll agree about nothing you and I (even in the code of conduct for debate itelf) - still, I imagine it will make for a more entertaining spectacle for the audience if nothing else.

Weak sauce. It should be clear by now that I don't actually think you do understand "whats good for the game." If I did have faith that you actually knew what you were talking about then I'd probably not be running against you would I? And I really don't know what you are referring too when you mention whining ... far as I can tell nobody has been doing that. Just a series of debates and disagreements. Why lower the tone of the discussion by using emotive pejorative language in an attempt to stir up bad tempers? Look, I know what passes for debate inside goonswarm now (as do the general readership of CAOD following your leader's address to the troops. But do you think you could make an effort to keep a respectful tone to your language when discussing matters with the rest of us mere "pubbies" - just for appearance sake and all that. Fair enough with you?

Weak sauce. It should be clear by now that I don't actually think you do understand "whats good for the game" like it was some sacred truth and I certainly don't think you are able to decide such things impartially given your previous-stated support of the status quo in POS warfare matters.

Stop trolling this thread and rp elsewhere you tactless boob.
On topic, Guo's campaign statement is easily the most literate and analytical evaluation of game mechanics I may have ever read, all the other blogs and embarrassingly sincere attempts at persuasion pale in comparison not only in their lack of scope but their fundamental inability to separate facts from values. Guo epitomizes the best of Eve: literate, analytical and often insightful.

Full CSM Manifesto is on the blog here and contains the policies I'll be promoting during the campaign and directly to the CCP developers should I be elected.
(I've linked the Eve-University lecture from this week as well since it will an insight into the personality behind Jade - and let you know a little more about who it is who wants your vote!)

There are so many good candidates it's going to be hard to choose.
With terms limited to 2 terms at 6 months a pop, finding 9 new dynamic, interesting and qualified people might be a little difficult in the future.
For now we have famous personalities like Jade, Hardin and Verone, who will it be in the future? Prolly some guy we've never heard of from XYZ alliance.

Titled û A vision of the future?
Location:In the vicinity of Jita
Reporter:Token Prophet
Today is voting day for the pod pilots of our wide and varied universe. A number of candidates have shown themselves to be above the rest, they have issues they believe need addressing. One candidate, Chribba, has given us this statement:
ôMy platform is based on the need for all pod pilots to enjoy their time in space while doing what they wish and making heaps and heaps of ISK.ö
The biggest question mark about the voting process now is the requirement of a manual voting process since the remote console based system was shown to be inconsistent, prone to hacking and manipulation by several sources. The current system, which has been questioned by many citizens, involves any interested parties having to physically fly to and dock at a station in Jita to cast their ballot.
We questioned Jim from Jita Space Traffic Control (JSTC) earlier:
Token:ôHave you ever handled this volume of ships in the past?ö
Jim:ôNo never. The system in place was designed for about 500 ships in system at any one time. Recently we have been seeing numbers in the 1000 to 1500 range and the system just cannot handle it reliably. We estimate that on voting day we could potentially see 30,000 to 40,000 ships all wanting to enter and dock in Jita in a very short time period, certainly many more that the current traffic control system can handle.ö
Token:ôWhat do you think the result will be?ö
Jim:ôChaos, utter chaos. IÆm planning on leaving Jita before voting day as the gridlock could be so bad that Jita might never function again.ö
So here we are with those chilling words still echoing in my mind, watching ships enter and trying to enter Jita to cast their ballot, but not many leaving. It has hard to judge the disaster that may be unfolding in the system of Jita but we may be witnessing a human catastrophe of galactic proportions, we may never see many of these pod pilots again.
Next up we see how many slaves an Amarr university team can fit inside all four of the racial shuttlesà

Mr. Zombie has shown much love and respect for EvE. He's played nearly every role anyone can explore and been doing it since the universe started. He's built stuff and blown stuff up. He's been an ebil man of MoO, a Professor at EvE Uni and a terror to roids.
It could be a wise choice to give a vote for the Omber Zombie.
Go get it Oz!!

I'm in :)
No website yet.
I decided to run for CSM to protect the rights of all play styles. If you think there is room in this game for all types of players then I am your candidate. If you hate carebears, please don't vote for me. If you hate pirates, please don't vote for me. I want to fight for equality among all professions, including the current and virtually non-existent pirate-hunter.
I personally enjoy 0.0 explorations, low sec missions, and 0.0 mining. However, I respect the life of the carebear in high sec as I respect those that pirate in low sec and 0.0. What I want is hopefully what you want: Balance. What I'd like to see in Eve is respect and courtesy among all players, no matter what profession you decide to take up. I'd like to believe again that the average player in Eve is indeed 27.

That is a really handy resource, good job.
After looking at the forum statistics I have decided not to run until everyone else catches up
(Well, actually it is because I can't do the dates for the face-to-face CSM, unfortunately)

I wish one could cast a negative vote instead.
Especially as (atleast according to eve-csm.com), there are only 26 candidates running. Of these a total of 14 will be elected, though 5 of these are only alternates. That means that there are only 10 of these guys that will not be elected.

I find it disappointing that so many players candidate with a "vote me and your niche will get a buff, or at least no nerf" attitude. While the political realities have shown throughout the centuries that this gets votes, this attitude doesn't make EvE a better game. Boosting EvE itself, as a whole, should be the only thing a CSM member should lobby about.
Having its own pet-niche is okay, and ideally the CSM would have an expert for every major (or not so major) playstyle, but that should be on top of a vast knowledge about every aspect of the game. Neither "I haven't left 0.0 in years" nor "I've never been below 1.0" are going to cut it if lowsec issues are put on the table.
Very few campaign documents I've read so far make me believe the candidate has at least a basic-good knowledge of all the aspects in EvE

I am really, really hoping that we get a good range of all round players who are capable of seperating out their own interests, those of their corps or their alliances from basic questions to do with core mechanics of the game or its emergent systems. I'm standing because I believe that I can do this and because I feel I have a high level of understanding of many aspects of the game as well as a bit of a vision as for how I'd like things to develop.

I'm a bit surprised to see people running that already have an 'above average'understandign of how CCP works tbh.
And the turnout is rather poor too. I mean, hardly more candidates then places. I bet CCP are feeling a bit let down here.
p.s., if you are running on something like "i'll push combat ship balancing as a priority" then please, back our while you can :p

I would of run but who is going to vote for a non=PVP solo player with 3 accounts? Wouldn't even come close to the votes Goons and BoB will pull in!

I'd hope that everyone who even thinks about running runs as even if they are not elected, the cross pollination of ideas among candidates is vital to ensure that our representatives end up being representative! So run and get your ideas out there, even if you feel you can't win (and assuming its 1st past the post then the BOB/GOONS candidates will get in, probably one each maybe two or three IF they can co-ordinate their votes or otherwise huge stacks of votes will just pile up on already-elected candidates leaving many more electiion slots free).

I will throw my hat into the ring as the Anarcho-Capitalist Libertarian voice of the Eve Community.
I believe the best solutions are created by a market free and unfettered from the influence of regulatory government. If you look at the most effective institutions within Eve: from financial capital, IPO review, internal policing, dealing with ISK-farmers - all have come from player innovation and market forces.
If allowed to serve on the Eve Council my votes will be simple and to the point. I support a solid infrastructure that minimizes bugs and game-mechanic-exploit - as well as giving tools to players. Beyond that however I will be a strong voice to make sure players are allowed to solve their own problems - as they are the ones best equipped to do so.
Granted I am a party of one - but that's the best way that government works after all.

Please add my details to the list.
I met Serenity at Fanfest, I support the candidacy. Serenity is one of the very few people who have contributed as much to Eve that I know of.
The goon in me couldn't resist the opportunity to RR my potential candidacy, the BoB in me makes me too elite to post full details. (In other words, I am way short on time for the next few weeks).
I know I would make an excellent candidate, due to my wide and varied knowledge of the intricacies of most aspects of the game. I am also quite neutral regarding high-profile issues and have the ability to cut through the BS (not the ship) of all issues that may present themselves. If that qualifies me, so be it. If not, no worries, I will crawl back into my hole.

Just thought I would throw my hat for this thread. Been away a couple days so didn't see this one pop up at first.
I am definitely running, here is a tagline you can use in the list:
"I have the knowledge, and experience to represent all players of Eve. Vote for me, and give yourself a voice!"
Website: Campaign Site
Good luck to all candidates!
I will be making a general posting shortly discussing some issues that are important to me as an individual, But my main goals as a candidate (and hopefully council member) are to represent the issues that are important to YOU as players. So if you have anything you want to discuss openly leading up to the election, I ask you to either send it to me in a PM, or post it on my campaign site!
See you all at the polls!

Hi all.
I've also applied for the candidacy (if that's the right word lol), as I think it could be a good thing for the game overall.
You will probably have seen me flying round Empire lately, as I've been advertising the channel I created to help people out with missions.
Been playing since 2004, and enjoy playing what is after all a game. (oops, lost some votes there hehe)
If anyone wants to get to know me, feel free to join the helpmymission channel, as that's where I basically live now
I won't create a website to try to campaign, as I personally think it's far better to speak to someone in person, and would rather be playing Eve instead of creating a website.
If I get voted in, i'll try my best to help improve the game for everyone (if that's at all possible)
Good luck to all the other candidates btw , and dont forget, Eve is supposed to be FUN. |

I've spent 4+ years in 0.0 alliances but all that proves is that I have a better grasp of the socio-political side of the game than your average mission runner.
On the whole this election doesn't seem to be about carebear industry v pvp badassness v empire mission running, or at least I hope it isn't. There are clearly issues, like lag, that cut across all classes of players and these tend to be the ones that need attention most severely.

I am always sceptical to "elite groups" with too much of a say in a game. It can be destroying. Take SWG which I played for over 2 years got ruined by a group of players who got too much of a say against the better of the game. Look where it is now.
It is not that I have anything against the candidates. But when I read they want to promote "industry, carebear, soloplay, missions.. - without mentioning PvP with a word" I see blood red. Sorry..

It could be a wise choice to give a vote for the Omber Zombie.

So will CCP release any information after CSM meetings saying what was discussed?
If they do, then we will be able to see who brings up what issues, and if someone (or several people) seem to just be touting whatever it is they want, and not actually things that a lot of people want to see addressed, we will know who to not vote for in re-elections.

I'll vote for who I think is the best candidate. Seems like a lot of work to find out who is running and why we should vote for them. All these "Visit my web-site" is sortive crappy.
But I will vote reguardless, and in no way will I vote for any of those guys that only log in to ruin the game... goons is what they call themselves right?
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you and... scouts, logistic ships, people to web you, alts with bonuses, not fitting nice gear, avoiding trafic hubs, etc... easy right?? |

Question...
Are there only carebears running for CSM??? Industrialism, solo players, missions, care bears, empire markets... yes eve have these features too, but the only candidate who promotes the harsher side of EVE is Jade Constantine!!
I hope CCP let a choice be blank, so we can vote for "Empty seats". Because I want to have the choice of not Electing people who will turn EVE into a new NGE..
More True EVE candidates! PLEASE?????
Only carebears? More True Eve candidates?
I am no carebear but I can also see the big picture. I've always been pretty much against "opinions" because people find it hard to differentiate an opinion from an agenda. I look at Eve from a broad perspective and see it for what it is. It's a hardcore game with a cut and thrust environment. You die and die harshly in Eve and the pvp is the main cake slice for a lot of people. You also need industry in this game to produce modules, ships, ammo and you need miners to go out and look at rocks.
So yeah. PvP is good and I personally enjoy it but I will not forget the quiet people shooting asteroids.
As for the NGE. I was there too and it was the absolute worst thing that SOE could have done. So one person here will be bearing that in mind at least. No doubt there will be others on the actual CCP Council that the CSM reports to will also be wary of this as well.

Ah well, then we are on the same page!
I want to have better PvP means, I want to kill the bad guys easier, and make the life for them harder! I want to end the situation, that the Empire grants all the thugs and thieves undisturbed leave to plan their next coup eye in eye with their victims, without any chance to put them were the belong: outside their ship, into the clone facility.

I like what you said here "and if there is one thing I'd like to work for in the election period, it would be the introduction of an effective bounty hunter profession and a bounty system."
not only does it make sense but it is fun, things that make sense in a virtual world are much more fun IMO.
I'm also sure you would help to make Ambulation the best it could be so that's cool, I hope it will be an awsome thing to do to travel through EVE from station to station and all the bars discovering EVE in so many much more personal ways.
But also are you interested in Factional Warfare?
So yeah, I'll vote for you, and if you don't win, don't give up, you should make it.
P.S. I do like Lavista Vista but I'm sure he is going to win no problem, so I'm giving my vote to someone who might need it more.
P.S.S. So far all you guys a pretty cool so I'm not worried and I do think none of you should give up if you lose this 1st time.

Im wondering why people seem to think that us industry guys don't know anything about pvp. In fact, it couldnt be further from the truth.
I have been -10 twice already and now i fly around in 0.0 and kill stuff. Good times.
So just because our main interest is in industry, we do have teeths. Maybe we dont use out industry characters for pvp, but we might just have an alt who have killed you once!

I think it's because they do not realize that ship to ship PvP is pretty much covered just fine in EVE and if there is a problem or issue with it,
you would probably have no problem it talking about it and helping to fix it and discuss it with CCP,
the HARD parts are things like industry and RP immersion and actually making it fun to kill NPC etc...,
things we all have to do at one time or the other. And dare I say those things OTHER then ship to ship PvP are also a ton of fun or should be with any help from the CSM.
everyone on the CSM will take care of the carrier issues easy, they are going to take all you guys ideas too you know people.
Besides IMO a so called pure ship to ship PvPer if there actualy are any, would likely balance things to death like in so many other games.

Also Juwi Kotch, are you interested in Factional Warfare? I am, because if I'm ever going to get into PvP I need to have that makes sense too, and Factional Warfare will get me into it much more then anything else ever will.
Ah yes, factional warfare... I don't know enough about that to be able to say I like or I don't like it. The idea for sure has potential, and - as you said - it could instill some sense into PvP (and eventually PvE as well). It very much depends on what CCP will come up with, it can destroy a lot of things (I don't want to imagine I cannot have all four races in my corporation anymore), but it can present a lot of interesting stuff as well, from a bonus system when killing an enemy faction player in PvP to storyline missions embedded in factional warfare events in PvE. So for me right now it is not directly on my Agenda, it is more of a wait and see item. That can, and probably will change as soon as CCP comes up with details.
And thank you very much for your vote!

Hi all.
I presented myself as a candidate, and I've been a lil busy even before I did. I haven't said aloud that "you can vote me" yet because I wasn't absolutely sure I would be eligible... as I work as a Lead Programmer making videogames (not CCP).
Then, I've triple-checked; because of the NDA, there should be no prob at all, I hope. And as other candidates have presented themselves, I'm doing so myself. Late? Maybe. Real? For sure.
I've set up a simple, yet working blog: de gustibus [non est disputandum].
I won't be tuning it (that much), nor making sigs; I'd rather play EVE, listen and talk to people... get things done.
I'm almost certain I won't be a Chosen One, but I'm an alternative myself: that's my main point.
No-nonsense; I can digress sometimes, granted, but I usually "seize the moment".
I'd rather go without a tagline, the title of the blog will do.
Let my small wheel start rolling. |

Hi again all.
Ive decided I want to withdraw my candidacy, so please DONT vote for me.
I have decided this for the following reasons:
1. I think I can be more helpful continuing my efforts in the HelpMyMission channel, as that is where my priorities lie in my time in Eve, not stuck in consultations trying to solve problems in 0.0
2. I would prefer to be playing the game, rather than being a politician.
3. If I have any issues, I can still ask the council to try to get them sorted out.
4. I think some of the people who seem to be applying for it have forgotten that Eve is a game, not Real Life, based on seeing some of their campaign websites.
Please don't waste your votes on me, as there are a lot of good people applying.
May I wish all the people the best of luck, but dont forget the most important point of Eve is to have fun.
P.S. Can my name be removed from any lists that are available for eligable candidates, thanks

Your observation is correct, your conclusion not.
Does an amateur football player not regard his time playing as part of his real life? Does someone hiking through the bushes on weekends not regard that as part of his real life? Does someone playing a poker game at home with his friends not regard this as part of his real life? And when he would play online poker at his computer, that suddenly would not be part of his real life?
We are all sitting at our computers in flesh, sweating, cursing, laughing, and sometimes thinking real hard to solve problems, and we are doing it in our real life. We are not asleep, we are not shut down in RL while doing that. Playing EVE for many is playing a game, but playing a game allways is real life.
One may subscribe or not to my belief that EVE is the first environment on the brink from being a mere game to a virtual world. One may have doubts with the results of my analysis, that virtual worlds will play a major role in our future life. If so, those probably don't want to vote for me, and that's fine. But I'm sure, those who don't believe that, are simply misjudging what EVE is and what EVE will - and can - become.

So the news is just in - 97 Candidates applied, 64 accepted, 33 couldn't follow the instructions on how to apply.
With so many candidates, it's going to be very interesting. If it was a dice roll, the candidates will have the following chances;
- 1.5% chance of chairman's position
- 14% chance of getting 1 of the 9 positions
- 24% chance of getting either a active or reserve (1 of 15) positions
Good luck to all my fellow candidates in adjusting their odds

Just got the confirmation email myself - good stuff and game on. Seems like its going to be a far more hotly contested campaign than some of the doubters were thinking. 64 candidates should represent a broad cross section of player interest and experience and give the Eve electorate some real choices to be made in the month ahead.
Congratulations also to CCP Xhagen, seems your experiment in MMORPG democracy is going to be quite the interesting one in the next few weeks.
All the best.

Well, I have seen today on the boards, that CCP has sent out emails to the applicants, informing them if they were accepted or not. I immediately checked my email account, but did not find anything. So I looked into the spam folder, where I in fact found two emails from a CSM admin, the latter informing me that my application was rejected, because I didn't answer the question of the first mail, which I haven't seen.
So, I will not be able to be elected. Let some other guy try to make EVE a better place.

Up until now, I've not yet introduced myself yet as a candidate. I was waiting for the confirmation mail before adding my information. (No sense in wasting everyone's time if I wasn't actually on the official candidate list.)
I play Dawnstar, and have done so since about the first week or so of Eve's existence. I've played in a number of different roles, from manufacturing and trade, to mission running, to PVP, to CEO. I've gone it alone as a solo player, worked as a member of small corporations, played as a director in big corporations. I've got a well-rounded background in Eve.
As far as issues, I have a number that I would like to bring up, but to me the biggest one is probably low security space (0.1-0.4). I think that the balance isn't quite right for those regions as things stand currently. Currently, they are, in most respects, more dangerous than 0.0. And that isn't really quite right. I think it is a big part of why there are so many players that are concentrated in high security space.
If I had to pick a slogan, I think I would go with:
"Working to improve the intricate balance of risk and reward that makes Eve so compelling."
What do I mean by that? I'll give an example:
One of my biggest concerns about the risk vs reward balance is probably low security space (0.1-0.4). I think that the balance isn't quite right for those area as the situation stands currently. At present, they are, in many respects, more risky than 0.0. And with lesser rewards as well. And that isn't really quite right. I think it is also a big part of why there are so many players that are concentrated in high security space. I'd like to see some of the mechanics changed to make low-security space more attractive.
I don't claim to have all of the solutions to problems like this. But one thing I do claim is that there are few playing Eve who are more concerned about the long-term quality and health of the game.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope that you will consider casting a vote for me at election time.

Could a dev explain what type of voting system will be used for electing CSM representatives? Please say you're doing something intelligent, like a ranking system. With this many candidates it would be rather dumb to only let us vote for one person.

Hello Blinky/Serenity...
Thank you, this thread is a very good idea. I'm quite busy IRL work-wise at the moment, so I apologise for posting this late. I shall be starting my website soonÖ.
And the tagline: "Challenge. Integrity. Cooperation. A voice of reason within multitude."
I will notify you for sure if anything changes.

nope, just single votes - I've already mentioned why this is wrong in the official CSM thread

As far as issues, I have a number that I would like to bring up, but to me the biggest one is probably low security space (0.1-0.4).
Like what I heard so far. When will you be added tot the eve-csm website?? I would like to hear more of what you have to say.
I agree about 0.1 to 0.4 space. I think "safe space" should be 1.0 to 0.4. that way Empire can spread out and the pirates can have more fun shooting each other in a more combin space.
Also I would like to know about what you runners think of third party apps like BACON. I think local should stay but not a program that tells you someone entered. If you are too stuipd to watch who enters then...

Okay that's huge failure. Something like borda count is very simple to implement and yields vastly more accurate results than only 1 vote for your favorite candidate.
What is the official CSM thread? I was under the impression this is the official CSM thread as it's stickied, has CSM in the title and a red bar next to it.

I brought this up in another thread on a topic of CSM accountability and I just saw a DEV post linking people to this thread for the topic. My idea has some holes,but none that I do not think can not be fixed.
Link to the thread I mentioned
Idea:
Creat a audio file (I would prefer video myself, I am a fan of CSPAN) of the official meetings and post it on the forums so the CSM are accountable, for what ideas/topics/improvements yada yada yada, to the community.
Problems:
The CSM have to sign a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Meaning that sensitive information that is not ready for community knowledge can and will be discussed.
Solution:
Provide the audio file after a time where editing can be done to remove sensitive information. |

As your post was originally from 2008.03.22, I thought that statement was only because no official list had yet been published.
In any case it gives a wrong impression that those listed are the only candidates.

To be honest, if they don't bother to announce themselves to the community, why should Blinky add them?
If you run for president you are expected to campaign... same for a CSM candidate in my book.

First of all, this is the only list on the forum. Since Winterblink had NO chance of finding all the candidates, as there was no official list, it is not reasonable to expect this of him.
But now that we have an official list, people might as well just head over to that list. But of course, i guess Winterblink will still update this thread, if people WANT their names to be there.
If people don't want to be on the list, they dont have to be.

If people don't want to be on the list, they dont have to be.
The intent of the thread was to also have people provide additional links. For instance, if you took a stance on a particular subject and wanted to highlight that here, you could ask and I'd put a link to it. The official list only has a link to your website (where presumably you're providing information about the subject in question).
And yes, I still update the posts to reflect requests from candidates.

To answer those who wish to know further details on the real life situation of me...
Name: Bruce Hansen
Age: I am in my mid 30's (later stages)
Married: Yes (+ children)
Profession: Education sector (for the past 10 years)
Current kingdom of abode: UK
Mental state: Mostly stable
Sense of humor: Yes
Experience with meetings/working as part of team: Yes
Honest and reliable: Yes
I could give you my entire CV, as some other candidates have, but I don't see how that is relevant to my position as a member of the CSM (if elected). I am honest and approachable, both in-game and in RL, as numerous players that have had dealings with me can atest to. I listen well to others and can make intelligent, unbiased decisions on issues. I will be YOUR representative on the CSM council, representing YOUR ideas.
It is true that in my considerable time playing EVE, I have stuck to what are described as 'carebear' activities (building/trading/ratting/missions etc) with Arithron. However, that isn't to say I don't understand issues that affect PvP, 0.0 Sec space, mining and the like (I follow the discussion forums daily). I promise you that I will weigh up support and objection to issues carefully before deciding upon them in CSM meetings.
Remember, if you think a player is standing for the CSM to push their own agenda, you have a simple, and powerful solution at your fingertips- vote for someone else!
Mnay thanks for your time,
Arithron

That is a very good idea, Ray. I have nothing to hide. My alts are: Siuwa Fenmenor and Ursula LeGuin, both rather inactive. I use them to check prices now and then. So, my main is "me" in game.

Everyone has an agenda, Arithron. We'd be dishonest not to admit it. Still, if you are suggesting that some cannot be objective in their consideration of the issues, it would be unfortunate if such individuals were to become a majority on the CSM.

Hi, thanks for that. But I'm after character names on other accounts, which only CCP could verify and confirm (should candidates be withholding them).
