Past experience on the CSM
As Secretary of the previous Council of Stellar Management I have gained valuable experience, both with the CSM process as well as the aspects of the game and playstyles that were not my own. Since I am not a part of any of the major powerblocks, I was able to maintain a neutral stance and act in a way I thought best for the game as a whole, instead of any personal agenda.
I think there is a lot of room for improvement, and the second CSM incarnation should work together in making this undertaking a success. Collaboration is the key, and I felt that this drive to cooperate with eachother - regardless of ingame affiliation or playstyle, was quite lacking at several points. In the next CSM I want to get the group together, no matter who gets elected, and work harder on writing solid documents as well as getting CSM-wide two-way communication going with both CCP and the players. Right now this player communication is up to each individual CSM. I had focus groups, in-game discussions as well as a load of email, but all of this was rather untransparant, with the CSM people often not knowing what the others were up to. Communicating with the players should not be optional, I personally love to hear what your thoughts are, and this supposed to be a true democracy, where your influence does not end after you cast your vote!
Communication will be one of my central themes for this term, and I encourage you to send me email or otherwise get in touch. Not everyone has the time to be a CSM, but that does not mean that you cannot have good ideas or valuable insights.
Playstyle
During the last half year I tried to gather as much knowledge as possible on different playstyles. I participated in some PVP (okay, I did not find it an enjoyable experience, but I gave it a good try anyway), visited 0.0, did low-sec exploration, became one of the major players in Factional Warfare and more learned about Invention and other Industry aspects. Meanwhile I kept my origins as miner and mission runner in the back of my head, and paid heed to the needs of the small corporations and independent players, which I still think are the life-blood of Eve.
Accomplishments
One of the most notable accomplishments this term was the balancing of suicide ganking, with increased security penalties and faster CONCORD response time.
Factional Warfare is under review. I think a lot of players were disenchanted by the lack of content in Factional Warfare. One of the things that has been done is a reduction in difficulty of FW related missions, but there are more changes in the pipeline, such as the participation of Alliances, impact on the storyline, and hopefully some rewards too.
CCP has also been nudged to work towards making missions more dynamic. More announcements regarding these features will be made at fanfest.
0.0 will also get some love. The sovereignty mechanics will be discussed at fanfest, and I will push for objectives for smaller groups of players. In addition, Black Ops ships will receive a boost.
And the term is not over yet - expect some more issues to be brought up in the next few weeks, as I'll keep going till the end!

Work In Progress
There are several open issues which frustrate me. The fact that CCP has not yet given us the 30 day GTC back is itching in the back of my mind, as well as the fact that despite popular demand, we still have not gotten a skill-queue. Of course I'll try to ask about these things at fanfest, but if that fails you can expect to see this on agenda again next term.
I was also disappointed in the rejection of the exploration ship issue. The CSM dismissed this as lazyness, but I think this was just lazyness from their end that they did not want to look closely at the specific exploration playstyle.
With Quantum Rise coming up, I'd like to get on top of Science & Industry and make sure that the features requested by players make it into this expansion. I want to see an interface overhaul with jobs being easier to set up and maintain, especially if multiple jobs are managed at once. Science & Industry should also be properly integrated into the corporation interface, with proper access privileges.
Factional Warfare still needs a lot of work to be the shining gem it should be. I want to make sure skilled players get the rewards they deserve, so that Factional Warfare can actually earn you a living like it should, instead of only being an ISK sink. Currently kills do not earn players anything, and there is no point to capturing systems. Something should be done there.
Missions are also an ungoing project. Since CCP will make announcements at fanfest regarding missions, I'll wait for that, but I want to make sure missions are not the static, boring, predictable pre-scripted content they are now.
For 0.0, I want to see objectives for small roaming gangs that can be completed in a relatively short timeframe. Current POS warfare is too static and does not encourage much tactical insight - just bring the largest fleet and you win. Mobility should be an option too, so smart players can set up diversions and then strike at weak spots - and earn some nice rewards in the process.
Finally, I still want to push for more player-driven justice, both in low-sec as in the other areas of space. CCP will look at bounty hunting now, and the moment they start working on something I would like the CSM and players to get involved and give feedback asap. ---

Two things.
One, you may want to edit your CV a bit - even most geeks make fun of LARPing.
Two, what's this Take Care business on your website? It doesn't seem to be a CSM slate, given that none of the rest of them are running - is it just a group of friends you're using as campaign advisors?
Also, best of luck to you.

Maybe, but then again people that roleplay in a videogame get made fun of as well by the non-roleplayers, but that does not mean that roleplaying in whatever way is dumb. I think that roleplay spices things up in Eve. And I don't see me getting some fresh air a few times a year being bad.

Anyone can apply for the Take Care platform, these are people that have shown interest in discussions and I consult with them to hear their opinions on issues. Usually I talk to a few of them and a few random people at the same time. Being a CSM is not a solo endeavour, you have to consult with the players, and these are some of people that help me in that aspect. ---

I have to say my experience of Eva in the CSM: online, in virtual chats, face to face at CCP HQ and in the months since has been uniformly good.
She's dedicated and capable and approached the CSM concept with an open mind and analytical eye. Even during the worst bits of the first session Eva kept her head and remained balanced and positive and helped a great deal as one of the officers on the council.
Even though by her own admission she didn't have much experience of matters Eve pvp she has listened to those that have, and has turned her formidable intellect to solving the problems faced by small unit fighting in the increasingly turgid environment of 0.0 sovereignty war.
Personally I think she'd make an excellent chair for the 2nd CSM and I hope she's able to build on the support she managed last time around. She truly deserves a 2nd seat on the CSM and I think we the players will be benefited tremendously if she goes all the way and wins this thing.

To be honest it was a muddle-headed proposal that needed to be voted down by anyone that actually read the small print. Trying to address a perceived prevalence of capital ships in 0.0 fighting by actually reducing the skill requirements to fly capital ships? (and make them even more prevalent) How does that make sense?

If you were voting on a design document that CCP were bound by blood oath to implement then that would be a valid point. But even if the details were muddled something better could've been hashed out with CCP face-to-face. Effectively voting to put off even discussing the ridiculous capital spam you see these days was a huge disappointment and easily the CSMs biggest failure so far.
Unless you're just fine with capital blobs, titan spam and only big players who can afford these toys dominating 0.0.
Whatever your view it's certainly the antithesis of small gang love in any case.

Like Jade said, that was due to the fine print. And Bane voted against issues that would imply a rework of 0.0 sovereignty mechanics.
There is cause and effect.
The cause is the stupid POS-centered warfare. The effect is blobs because people will bring the biggest fleet, as that guarantees a win.
Besides, it was very clear from what direction Bane was coming in his proposals: Either nerf our opponents who have more capitals than we so we can blob them with our sub-capitals, or allow all of us to fly capitals as well. - at least that is how it appeared to me.
I want to deal with the cause, and not band-aid the effect in some half-assed way. To this effect, I would propose objectives for small, mobile gangs to accomplish. This would force existing powers to patrol and secure their space; if not, opponents or just random groups of roaming space-brigands will have a nice opportunity to come and pillage. With small, fast gangs, they should be able to raid and make off with some loot before those nasty capital ships arrive on the scene.
This will make 0.0 as a whole more dynamic and interesting, especially for those with only a limited amount of time to spend on Eve, as something can be accomplished in a matter of hours instead of picking your nose for ages until that stupid POS comes out of reinforced.
Either way - We will discuss 0.0 mechanics at the Fanfest, and I will discuss all parts of this issue, the 0.0 sovereignty mechanics, POS warfare and capital ships.
In addition, I want to see some more incentives and depth added to factional warfare, which would encourage people to actually fight over the plex sites in there. Right now FW is just an ISK sink, but I think it should be a low to medium income carreer option.
Low-sec PVP remains tricky, with CCP turning down the bounty hunting ideas. Still I'd like to see improvements for lowsec and player-driven justice/security as well. ---

I would welcome any change to the current bounty system since right now it's pointless to say the least. FW also needs more depth to it.

Eva has done a good job in the first CSM term. I have talked with her a lot, and her moderate position and professional views have always impressed me. When she says balancing, she is fully neutral. Balancing does not mean kill the big players, no! When she says balancing, she wants to introduce attractive objectives for the smaller players. She will not take away, she will add.
She wants to improve transparency of the CSM, improve communication to both CCP and the player base. Right she is! She has drawn the right conclusions of the first term.
Her forum, TAKE CARE, which is a political party if you want, is a great way of further focussing issues, and it also helps communication.
I will vote for Ankhesentapemkah.

I'll vote Ankhesentapemkah as well, when I figure out where I can vote ;)
I've mailed with her in game and she seems a very great candidate. She has very good points made on her site and I think she's someone who stands her ground.

Would you support the introduction of new industry icons for corp logos? I mean don't we have enough skull and crossbones? How about some industry icons, asteriods/mining. Doesn't seem that hard of a thing to do. That would be enough to get my vote. |

Edited by: Soto ShinDo on 28/10/2008 09:07:15 Well bad enough you made it to CSM once. You only care for one aspect of EVE - the carebear side. IMO EVERY candidate should not only have experienced every part of EVE but also care for the balance and the uniqueness of this game.
You don't!!
And I can only hope people wake up and don't vote for you a second time.
And BTW, Jade supporting you is everything but advertisement |

This is simply untrue. I think everyone who has worked with Ank on the current CSM will affirm she is an open-minded, hard-working and impressively visionary candidate who is prepared to consider any side of the game and ask many questions to gain whatever knowledge she might lack.
Quote: And BTW, Jade supporting you is everything but advertisement
Outgoing CSM chair's congratulations to a hard-working and diligent CSM delegate? I'd say that was quite a significant endorsement actually. Ank has won my respect and I've absolutely no hesitation in commending her to the electorate for a second term.

That's just ignorant of you. I find her viewpoints on a lot of issues to be rather bizarre("It's not real if it's possible to ever lose it in the future" is incomprehensible to me), but she does care about pretty much the whole game, even if she only really plays one style of it herself. |

Really, how do you propose that all candidates experience solo play, or joe-average play with an income of 10 mil a week? I also don't see many candidates that are hardcore factional warfare players either. Or do those parts of the game somehow have less value according to you?
What I think is important is being open-minded and the willingness to research to compensate for the aspects of the game that the candidates do not have hands-on experience with.
As for balancing, I think everyone can agree that the suicide gank rebalance (cause that's what you're whining about, is it not?) was done from a game-balancing point of view, instead of a carebear point of view. When I was at the real life meet a few days back, I had one of thsoe guys whining about me that I nerfed suicide ganking and that he lost his source of easy money, as his gank ships paid out more insurance than it cost his alliance to produce them, and he would also get fat loot in the process. Do you think such a system is fine if you look at it from an objective game design viewpoint?
Keep in mind that I said to CCP that suicide ganking should remain possible, but it should not be a consequence-free easy-money source which risk-averse players exploited.
And funny that you say I supposedly only care for the so-called carebear side, but that I have factional warfare, sovereignty and 0.0 warfare mechanics on my agenda. You do know I'm one of the top factional warfare players, right?

I suppose it does. But you'll still answer to your Divine Commodore!
I'll try to get as much FW things fixed in the little time we have left, as I got purpose, rewards and goals of FW as well as the complex spawning mechanics on the discussion list for the fanfest CCP meeting now. But fixing FW is a long-term process.
