I and others took offence at DNSBlack's claim that he was the "only CSM candidate that cares about the eve/dust link" which is just categorically untrue. I reached out to Sugar Kyle and offered to facilitate a response should she so wish.
G I A N T has been in MH since the OB mechanic was launched and have become quite familiar with the local pirates, even more so since joining General Tso's Alliance and tricking them into moving operations down to Dust PC land. 7-2 and Sugar Kyle have been based in MH since long before PC so rudely moved in. She is passionate about lowsec, runs her own market there and has seen first hand the growth/change that has happened in the region because of Dust.
Sugar Kyle is a 3XXXD endorsed candidate (as is DJFunkyBacon for his activity and views on FW/Dust) for CSM 9 because of her passionate views on lowsec in general and Dust specifically. So while I do encourage you to place her at the top of your ballot if you are also an Eve player, I encourage you more so to look at the candidates and form your own opinion and not take words and statements at face value.
Please execute your right chose and cast your vote (should you have one) for the candidates you feel will best represent yourself and the game(s).
*To be clear those ^ are my words and mine alone.

I am the only candidate that cares about the eve/dust link and could use your support in fighting the good fight. I know a lot of you have old eve characters that are inactive. Just sub for 1 month vote and let me be your voice at CCP and make this link mean more for both of us.
Sugar Kyle's statement follows.
Hi there. I was asked to respond to a question about my opinions and thoughts on Dust 514 as an Eve player running for CSM9.
First of all, I gave Hans my Dust codes from my Collectors Edition.
Dust is a very touchy subject in the Eve crowd these days. There are Eve players who feel that it should be abandoned and Dust players that are frustrated with CCPGÇÖs movement in the matter. I was asked my opinion on Dust by one of Molden HeathGÇÖs resident Dust corporations and how I saw Dust as someone running for the CSM.
What about Dust? It is not the basis of my CSM run. I am an Eve player and I am not going to insult anyone with falsehoods about my time spent playing Dust. However, it is a part of low sec. I spend the bulk of my in-game time in Molden Heath where Planetary Conquest was released. I like the concept of Dust. I am not a FPS player but I like the integrated universe concept and I feel that it has been poorly implemented. Instead of intertwining the Eve and Dust story and information we have two games running side by side with the occasional rope thrown between them. This equates to massive amounts of lost opportunity and lost interest. Eve players do not understand how the Dust universe works and how the Dust universe interacts with their own when it comes to Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest. This is a ball dropped by CCP. As long as they ignore the connection and donGÇÖt give Eve players more information about Eve/Dust events they will continue to have an unfortunate gap.
I tend to play Dust to get inspiration for fiction writing. Sugar Ranier is my Dust character. You can check her creation date. Being a military science fiction fan, Dust intrigues me as a topic to write about and IGÇÖve used it as a basis for a short story I wrote after Fanfest last year and another I submitted to the Pod and Planet fiction contest last October. The links all have dates and start with my lack of knowledge about Dust and follow the progression as it has become part of my day to day.

Cookie, you are a cool cat and the only reason that the relationship between NF and 3XXXD lasted as long as it did especially with vibe I got from General Tso's was Dust being a burden.
Have you talked with Sugar Kyle on voice and did you get a sense of passion from that conversation especially concerning Dust?
I offered to facilitate, she excepted.
You've said that before and didn't answer my response, maybe this time?

Really? Care to present ANYTHING other than the ONE EVE player's comment that Dust was a "burden"? Thats what you are referring to right? The guy that only made an account to troll in a post, the guy that said he was only posting to cause trouble for me to clean up (<3 you Salid)? Do you have ANYTHING to back that up beyond that one remark that you you instantly fell for and jumped all over? You really are stretching pretty thin on your defence of the situation and your meta accusations.
No I have not voiced with her...we have exchanged a few eve mails a ways back discussing her views on Eve/Dust, I've been an occasional reader of her blog for quite a while and I've listened to all her CSM 9 interviews. And of coarse we've had a ton of gudfights with her and 7-2. |
