Promithius
Amarr Vanishing Point. The Initiative.

[1]
Who the hell are you? I am Promithius (go figure) many of you already know me, and many more have absolutely no idea who i am, so here is a brief introduction.
I have been a member of the eve community for going on 4 and a half years now, iv been a CEO a capital FC (some of my more notable madness occurs at this point), an alliance leader, and i dare to say there are few areas of eve i am yet to encounter, apart from those mysterious "zombie entity's" that lurk at the bottom of your celestial groups in your overviews (seriously go check).
Why should we vote for you? Hopefully many of you will cast your votes based on your experiences of my defecation and determination, and perhaps some of you because your mad.
To be serous for a moment, i chose to stand for the CSM this year because i feel that the gap between CCP and the player base is not only vast, but its widening. My intention is to work tirelessly to bridge that gap, taking your ideas and opinions and making your voices heard by CCP. If there is one thing that i have felt constantly throughout my time in eve, its that my words have never carried to the top, I intend to change that.
Thats all well and good but how will you help me? In every way i can, tell me your opinions and that what i will deal with, after all that is the point of the CSM.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and thought, either by replying to this post, or by visiting. My website where there is a contact form you can use. |

This is why i think he is so cool. When i joined eve i was all alone not knowing what the hell i was doing. Then one day i was jumping around amarr space when i got a window open to find it filled with ppl one of them being Prom. He from then of had me under his wing and helped me grow in the game to this day. All in all he has a vast amount love for the game and the ppl he plays with and not only them but all in game. Personal Gain is a must in the game but he will sometimes put alot of effort in others even if it takes him of his planed path in game. So i say Big up to the prom you are tops in my Book m8

I believe that the up-coming nano nerf is yet another example of the lack of direct communication between CCP and the players. Yes some balancing is necessary, we all know that nano has become the staple of roaming gangs and not re-balancing the mechanics would just let the situation get more and more out of hand. After i encountered a 45kps crow a few days ago i came to the realization that any ship able to go so fast that they are for all reasonable purposes invulnerable is not a good thing.
HOWEVER and this is a big one, i don't think that the way CCP are suggesting these changes are the best way to go about resolving the issue. The idea is clearly unpopular, almost everyone i have spoken to believes that its to harsh a change, and i am inclined to agree.
So in short, i believe that the nano changes were made with good intention but very poorly executed with a distinct lack of listening to peoples opinions. |

Edited by: Xcelency on 23/10/2008 13:10:21 I fully endorse the candidacy of Promithius! We don't always see eye to eye, but he has always been reasonable to deal with and I have found him to be someone who doesn't make important decisions until he has canvassed all the facts. A rare quality in someone with such murderous skills and hardware! Prom is also someone who is NOT on my buddy list! Why? Because he is my friend!
I would recommend you vote for Prom if you want a strong leader who has the "kahunas" to stand up and be counted!
Good Luck Prom!

A lot of people have come into this thread saying they are a friend of proms. I would not class us as friends, as we don't chat often enough. The times I have chatted to him he has been pleasant enough. Very direct and straight to the point.
The reason I have chosen to post in this thread in support of prom is that having looked at other candidates, and knowing about prom's personality I cannot think of a better person to put forward for the position.
I have yet to hear him brag about the great things he has accomplished in his eve career, and in the interests we share in the game he has proven to be level headed and straight to the point as an associate.
Prom gets my vote not because he's a friend, but because I believe he will be very effective in the role of CSM.

Well lets see, I was wondering how to express why I thought Promithius would make a good CSM and while having a conversation with friends I described him to a Alliance mate in a flipped way then realized it was accurate.
Promithius in this conversation was described by me as ôCliffs Notesô.
Defined: CliffsNotes (formerly Cliffs Notes, and often, incorrectly, CliffNotes) are a series of student study guides available primarily in the United States. The guides present and explain literary and other works in pamphlet form or online. Endorsers say the guides help readers understand complex works, while detractors say they let students avoid even reading them.
My definition as it pertains to Promà
Knowledgeable, Insightful, Articulate and Accurate. I use this term to describe Prom because all that have met him (at first glance) see him as arrogant and having somewhat of a God complex.
Truth be told once you get to know him and the residents of eve you understand how this can happen. Among the sea of noobs, nerds, blood thirsty pirates and pea sized brain cell players sits Promithius.
Always willing to assist those who are willing to answer but throwing the chaff to the wind to separate it from the wheat of the field. His abrasive side soon becomes warm after he has discerned your intent and adequate ability to communicate and think rationally.
He is a abundant source of information and ideas and willing to go the extra yard for those that truly wish to excel in eve as opposed to exist. I was and am still amazed by his answersà (Hence the description)
When asked a question Prom gives you a clear, plain, articulate and brief synopsis of the concept its practicality and chance of success or failure.
And to my amazement 99% of the time even the cerebrally challenged grasp the meaning and information easily and completely.
In summation I would have to say Prom would make a awesome CSM simply based on his ability to communicate unilaterally, clearly and informativelyà
On a personal note he cares for the game and the people that play it... And when he says:
Quote: I chose to stand for the CSM this year because I feel that the gap between CCP and the player base is not only vast, but its widening. My intention is to work tirelessly to bridge that gap, taking your ideas and opinions and making your voices heard by CCP. If there is one thing that I have felt constantly throughout my time in eve, its that my words have never carried to the top, I intend to change that.
You can take that to the bank !
The Promithius I know never makes statements like that unless he means it and never goes half way and turns around.
He has my vote just based on his dedication alone, his personality and abilities are just icing on the cake.
If you donÆt know Prom personally do yourself a favor and get to know him and enhance your game and personal experience in Eve.

Edited by: GeEzah on 23/10/2008 17:56:49 Edited by: GeEzah on 23/10/2008 17:54:57 After playing EVE for about a year Prom kindly accepted me into Subach corp. A great leader and a great organizer. He is truly dedicated to EVE and will be a great resource for making the game better. I'm one of those players with a very busy life, and randomly gets to play an evening or two every two weeks. In despite of this, Prom has always included me in what's been going on if I wanted to.
Enuff said, the man knows his EVE

Its difficult to rant about only 2 things :), but if pushed i would speak about the old GTC issue and how in my mind and the minds of those i regularly speak to, it has never been resolved. As far as we can see all this has served to do is increase the price of plying eve , it has also artificially pushed up the price for gtc's with isk, given that before when you had 30 day and 90 , the price of the 30 days put a limit on how much you could charge for the 90's , now we are up as much as 500+ mil, which is more than we used to pay for 90.
Secondly i would want to raise the issue of the petition system, as im sure all of you have experienced the time honored tradition of the "copy paste response". The system makes the players feel disjointed and as if they are not really being listened to, some small changes could help make the system feel a little more player oriented, im not entirely sure what those changes might be right now , i have some ideas but that would be the point i would raise.

Where do I begin? After joining Prom and his corp. I realised this was a person that knew what they were doing. Not only that, he knew how to order things properly.
If something needed doing Prom has always been a person that could step up to the task. When decisions needed to be made, he judged accordingly. Not allowing favouritism to come in the way of fairness. After seeing many of the hard choices that needed to be made, this is a person that defiantly puts others before himself. I think that Prom would be a perfect CSM Candidate. + 1 vote Keep up the good work Prom

Nice fellow, I know him for years, even after 4 years he still has passion for the game. Have seen him do many things ingame, which makes him a good allrounder. I hope you will be elected Prom.

*clears throat*
So. My dear Prom has decided to take up the responsiblity of CSM. well. If CCP picked any other man or woman. They would be stupid. This guy has a crazy long fuse that only 1 person can defuse...me...just ask him about his faction Nightmare about 2 years back. HEHE but really Prom has this mind set...give him 15 years and the queen herself would grant this man nobility "sir" rank...me being american I can only guess thats great.
On a bigger note, Prom knows about practically everything...has practically done everything from POS war to station building in 0.0 to managing whinners in FATAL to well...you get my point. Again he is prime for the job. I have known him for what...lets see here....been playing for 5ish years...and found him in like year 2 I think...so yea a bloody long time. He has my vote without question. He is able to be direct but not a rude direct. he can be crazy but not bouncy wall crazy. And he can lead but also at points let others lead. his ego is almost never present and almost never vulgar.
Role model material in my mind and I believe that is the kind of person needing to be to sit in the job title as CSM. So again... Vote for him if you want stuff to get done about our beloved EVE.

Just thought I would beef up my responce...
I've known prom a little over 2.5 years, from ,my first move into lowsec in the game, him and his corp where very helpful. I've had lots of TS chats with prom in my Eve life.
He is very mature and has a strong passion for the game, he is very well versed in all areas from carebearing to pew pew'ing.

After flying along side you for more time than I would ever admit or want to calculate I have to post on this thread.
We have seen so much in eve together and been apart of some of the most amazing times in and out of war zones. Your manner of communication is with out flaws and your calm and easy going nature esures others that you do indedd mean every word you say. I vote for you for many reasons but non other than as a long time eve player I trust in your judgment and I would hope you can carry thru your promise to take the minds of the eve players to the top and voice our problems.
Go for it Prom there is no better man for the job.
