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. ---

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.

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.

Endorsement from 1st CSM Vice-Chairman
In terms of CSM participation, I think Eva's (Ankhesentapemkah/Ank) consistent effort to improve the communication to players and co-operation within the CSM stood out amongst 1st CSM members. Ank did a great job as secretary, and in preparing and raising issues to the council.
While I personally totally disagree with Ank's platform for a carebear future of duel-universe EVE, I find Ank's increasingly mature attitude and consistently analytical input to non carebear related issues delivers value for EVE players beyond her particular views on EVE.

Originally by: Captator Expand on how you would facilitate player<-->CSM<-->CCP discussion and transparency please.
One of the problems with the current situation is that it takes a long time before the players know what has happened with their issues. Often they do not know which issues have been advocated, or even dealt with by CCP already. Threads get buried and reposted, and as we've all seen, the forum quickly becomes a horrible mess where it is hard to find information. To that end I am currently working on a wiki, which will be made public this week, so players can see what the CSM is currently working on and what the status of their important issues are.
Another problem is that most Eve players do not frequent the forums or willing to post here at all. For these people I want more CSM-wide public discussions, as right now all these initiatives were organized by individual CSM members (I have ingame focus groups to remain in touch with the players, but I have no idea what the other CSM members did to this end).
Last, right now I have the feeling that our issues end up in a black box, and we often do not have insight in what happens with it. Currently a CSM member is responsible for each individual issue, and I would like CCP to mirror this and assign someone to be responsible for each issue as well. If promises were made and we do not hear of it for a while, I'd like this CSM member to get in touch with the CCP employee that was assigned this issue, and ask for a status update. This prevents the resubmission of important issues as well just to get more information (30d GTC, Skill Queue, Small Freighter etc). ---

Yup, a major annoyance for a lot of players. I support any effort to clear up communication on those matters

A list of issues submitted, voted upon, (escalated and voted down) including links to relevant issue threads should have happened from the start if the CSM term. It was clear that CCP was leaving the administration up to the CSM from the start. I do not buy excuses on this issue at all. It wasn't done. Hold up hands and admit it should have been, stop blaming others for the failing to do so (or the 'tools').
As the CSM secretary, it would ultimately fall upon your shoulders to have such a recording system in place. Ultimately, such a recording system needs to be linked at the start of the Assembly Hall forum (as this is where issues need to be posted, makes sense that indexes to past issues etc are here also for reference before posting).
Its really too little too late for this CSM session.
Quote: I think there is a lot of room for improvement, and the second CSM incarnation should work together in making this undertaking a success.
I agree there is a lot of room for improvement. I realise that the fragmentation (of sorts) of the CSM early on didn't help or inspire members to go the extra mile on indexes etc. I also acknowledge that submission of issues to you by CSM members was probably a frustrating and thankless task. However, this is a matter of priorities; CSM --> player communication should have a very high priority.
Take care, Arithron

My concern with is that you completely dropped the ball on the capital ship issue when it came before the CSM, largely because you are a dilettante with regards to pvp, especially unrestricted pvp.
In your candidacy post here, you try to take credit for things that CSM voters should have good reason to believe that CCP was doing anyway, like boosting black ops and nerfing suicide gankers.

I agree entirely with this. The endorsement of anyone from the first CSM is worthless. These are people that formed friendships and want to make sure they can see their new friends again. The heaps of praise hurled on her mainly outline organizational tasks that one would expect from an assistant, secretary, or that weird lady in the courtroom who writes down everything everyone says.
As a player Ankh does not really fit anywhere. She is not a serious PvP'er nor a serious industrialist. She doesn't have to deal with fleet fights, and doesn't have her own POS to run or fuel. There are other candidates from the first CSM I would vote for, but Ankh is not one of them. -------------------

Edited by: Virtuozzo on 12/11/2008 14:12:25 Still, she makes the effort to dig into things, as opposed to just sitting back in a chair and commenting. She's explored other corporations, ran through ops, sat down with people evening after evening, it is a generalistic perspective yes, but she makes sure she goes where she has to.
It's a choice between someone who knows everything about a little bit, or a little bit about everything, combined with the will to listen and learn and experience :-)
There are CSM candidates out there who are further in terms of exposure and to a degree experience, but the ability to step into the shoes of others counts for a lot. As does a sound communicative and administrative skillset.
Everybody has a learning curve in EVE, heck, many learning curves over time :-) What matters is the ability to grow, listen, communicate and combine. From where I stand she is one of the top three candidates exactly for these abilities, she'll make an even better CSM member in a next term.
She does not fit in one box indeed, instead she's capable of seeing more then one box. Most people never get out of their box in their entire life :P
CAOD FTW.

I think exactly this qualifies her for being a good CSM member. I bet the vast majority of EVE players do not fit anywhere, but instead do everything a little bit. Maybe not all at the same time, but definitely throughout the course of their careers. The hardcore one aspect guys are usually very vocal, but just as much a minority as they are biased. And if you are reading this, you have arrived at the signature without noticing...

No, just an interesting definition of "top" - she's got top rank in two militias, but she does it without fighting. Unoccupied complexes get you rank quickly, it seems.

I have to say, you are the only reason I bothered to vote, it's my patriotic duty to eve to give my vote to ANYONE but you, the day CCP takes your ideas seriously is the day this game will die for the simple fact that WoW already has the carebear market cornered, and a toothless eve will be a playerless eve.
I saw one of your videos, you seem to take credit for every single change CCP has made, impressive, makes you wonder what CCP's devs are doing, what with you designing their entire game and all hmm.
That said, the "i'm a girl who plays your computer game and i'm not that ugly" has always been a certain winner in the mmo world, and I don't see this principle faltering any time soon, sadly enough.

So Ank, I'm curious.
You believe NPC corps as war-proof umbrellas is a vital part of the game to protect players.
I was hired by a victim against a corp of high sec suicide gankers: war dec them to stop their ganks and kill them.
Said gankers have left their corp to dodge the dec, making it much more difficult to stop them from praying on other players.
How do you reconcile suicide gankers using the NPC corp protection to further grief players in high sec, both player and npc corp alike, with your position that protection from war dec type conditions should always be available to players via NPC corps to keep them from being griefed?

When in Iceland last time we (CSM and CCP) discussed this and we came up with kicking criminals out of Empire NPC corps, into pirate faction NPC corps where they could be attacked (to what degree, and if a wardec was needed was not yet determined). I agree with such consequences for people that abuse the privileges granted, criminal actions should always have consequences. ---

But this is a game and that is an extremist view on punishing, what you consider to be, misbehavior in a videogame.
At what point do we decide to just delete an ebil piwate's character for doing what the game encourages?

I certainly hope you're going to ask that this be implemented for all crimes, so that Empire NPC Corp Members can be kicked into Pirate Faction NPC Corps for crimes such as canflipping as well? When will this illustrious plan be put into motion?

Maybe can-flipping would be a bit harsh. But otherwise, it's an interesting idea. But there is scenarios where it only hurts the people who make legitimate mistakes and not the criminals. It's a bit like DRM really.

Is it? Why would an NPC Corporation allow such criminal behaviour? Perhaps a three strike rule would be in order! I would think the 'good name' of those involved in an NPC Corporation would want their membership to be the most pure.

Well. What happens to people who is mining with his friends from another corp? Say he happens to be the hauler. Will he get kicked out of a NPC corp after he empties a can 3 times?
I think that would be sad

While the simplest answer is "have him join the Corp he is friends in" I recognize this isn't the best method. Obviously, there are reasons by which people should be criminally flagged - perhaps a 'tiered' method, whereby if the canflip results in aggression, it's flagged as 'bad' and three bads in a row get you booted from the NPC Corp.
Something along these lines is needed - since there are many too many people exploiting the NPC Corp for personal gain.

Ever seen what happens if the one spawning the can DC-ed or leave the game for any other reason?
Same thing for missions, I have run several missions for my R&D alt for standing reason and closed his account before salvaging and looting all.
It is a fine line.
Possibility a "report crime" option when someone steal your can could be the solution. If you have left it unattended in space and someone steal it, you can't report it )no witness), if he steal it when you are there you can report the theft within 5 minutes and after 3 reported thefts in 1 month (only example numbers) the legitimate corp kick you out.

^^ This.
I also believe Ankh and LaVista's discussions regarding NPC Corps and putting "criminals" into them is;
1. Unfounded 2. Unresearched 3. Uninformed 4. Ill thought out and Ill prepared.
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
As I said before Ankh, you DO have a personal agenda. You DO bend things to your will and I believe you are you tribe are dangerous for EVE.
You bend like a reed in the wind and back-peddle when necessary. There is nothing solid apart from your personal desire and ego.
I will be voting Tchell Dahhn for the next CSM if she stands. I also sincerely hope kublai also stands.

OMG! I just watched your video and I'm now convinced that you are indeed totally insane - but then again you're in politics (albeit internet spaceship politics) so maybe you're suited there.
I have to say, to those without a deeper view on things you do gloss it over very well and try to appeal to all fronts. Can anyone say "Tony Blair"?
I find the whole "You can be part of it" and "I'm listening" a very very tacky ploy to gain votes. It looks good, sure, but you're not honestly listening to all parties - that much is evident and factual.
Lastly, it was _YOU_ who did all those things in your first term? *cough* I don't think so, but way to go and claim credit for them all in a round-a-bout way.
All these things confirm what I've previously posted (different char) and I've previously said in this thread too. You *are* dangerous for EVE because of your personal agenda and ego. The fact you have transmuted the EVE logo into "EVA" speaks volumes in itself.
You will certainly not be getting my vote, but I will vote for someone to counter balance you so that the status quo can be maintained. A rabid insane pirate gets my vote

Thank you for your support. I'll say only that in this thread, since it is actually Eva's thread...

...perhaps Ms. Jobse will vote for me in CSM III as well? I don't believe she's able to actually participate, as LaVista Vista has mentioned that two terms is the maximum number any person can attend.
(...and just to quell the rumors - I won't be making a video of myself to garner support.)
