If you vote for Aeon you will get a can of tuna.

What do you think of the following?

1) The state of FW
2) The state of scouts
3) The commando role

How do you feel CCP should handle character port over to legion in terms of assets and ISK for those who have billions of ISK from the broken planetary conquest vs those who sold Templar bpo's and earned the billions.

A vote for Hynox Xitio is a vote to praise the sun.

How do you feel CCP should handle character port over to legion in terms of assets and ISK for those who have billions of ISK from the broken planetary conquest vs those who sold Templar bpo's and earned the billions.

The term Community is an important part of the CPM position, indeed every candidate uses the term at some point. However it is an abstract concept, so what I would like is to hear your definition of community. No right or wrong answers here, just looking to get a better feel of where you are coming from.

I agree with this 100% and recommend touching base with D legendary hero who is duel lingual and has been active in supporting Portuguese language translation for Dust previously.

Great call on this,
Cross

I demand hebrew localization.
Even though there are only 2 people that I know of who would benefit from it.

But still D:

I'd suggest Spanish support as well. Both the Spanish and Portuguese communities here are pretty huge. EVE recently added French, and it's kind of amazing Spanish still isn't a supported language, being the second most natively spoken language on the planet, above English even according to the Wikipedia page.

I think they get the client language, but not official support from CCP, like the other languages.

I meant Spanish. I think they get the client translation, but not the support.

Grenade spam has been the #1 balance issue in the game for many months now, the proposed nerfs are clearly not enough, what further nerfs do you suggest?

I have only two questions for you.

Those who have played with you over extended periods of time know that when the games balance is not at a point to your liking you rage quit and are absent for extended periods of time. Example: When murder taxi's were at there height you quit the game for over a month


With knowing your past can you be sure that if balance isn't what you would like it to be will you still be available in game and to the to the community, or will your personal emotions get in the way?

Secondly do you have the back bone to actually stand up to CCP and inform the of whats wrong with the game instead of being a yes man?

The second question I ask due to your statement of:

" I know the extent of the CPMGÇÖs capabilities; I know that I canGÇÖt advocate for things that are beyond my control.""

Nothing in the game is technical in your control as you are not a dev and the position of CPM is there to be an advocate for the community....

Sounds like a vote for Aeon Amadi is a vote for CCP fanboyism.

Sad really I was a very strong advocate for you as CPM even after our past dealings fell apart, but after your sub par time in the dust Q&A at fan fest In my eyes your proved you are everything that is wrong with the current CPM and something/someone who should be avoided for the next CPM.

It is like you to dig up the past even tho I let sleep dogs lie ... I think the player base will see what kind of Candidate you are based on you going behind alot of peoples backs and ratting them out for something you your self were taking part in yet the pictures of your scores mysteriously disappear.

I made not mention of you taking the whole 20 min of the sad little q&a but maybe ask a question that had some substance that mattered to the dust community not a question about eve in a dust q&a... You know who did do that Zatara even tho i have butted heads with him once or twice in game he will be getting my vote ... A vote for Zatara is a vote for a CPM with a back bone.

Something your rage quitting and campaign have proved you have not.

Hi!

Great reply, i really can sense the passion in your campaign and like that you are quite firm about much of your beliefs. ( i also like that you have an edge, something missing from a few of the candidates) its important to have people there voted in by us, who will continue to represent us and not become CCP focussed once in.

I love the ISD idea, it grates me that we have had that 'special missions' tab for ages and no special campaigns or even many events!!

A question if i may, how would you see this ISD being delivered in Dust 514 - given CCP had quite some issues with corruption in the EVE version of the ISD? what could we do to remove this as a risk?

Sadly yeah there was a major scandal with ISD many years ago, basically forming faction fit fleets and flying them into their friends space to be killed for lootz. it was a very long time ago however so probably not an issue anymore.

perhaps as a follow up question, what sort of events did you have in mind, given Dusts limited flexibility? i quite liked the Templar one and am surprised they never followed up with it.. the thought of hunting down dudes is also pretty cool, maybe some sort of infected thing?

Thanks

CEO

Aeon, you are one of the few candidates I actually recognize.

I have thought a lot of your feedback was quite good.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you first begin championing the ISD for dust? Somehow it seems i've never really noticed anyone pushing for it, but I was simply wondering if this was an epiphany you had recently perhaps right prior to running or have you been here for a much longer while pushing this?

Can you elaborate on why of all the issues the ISD should be such a large priority? How would it change my experience on dust if it was implemented?

The ISD is a low cost high reward proposal that made perfect sense the moment Aeon enlightened me about it.

+1

Hi again,
Yes that does address my concerns and i'm very happy to be able to see the thought process behind the answers.

I do still feel that the broader public need to be approached.. but i also agree as you said that it would need to be moderated by groups to ensure it's content would be apt and not full of silly ideas. The way i would structure this internally is to ensure that a CPM meeting was able to form a consensus on subject matter and then pose any relevant questions to the community through the splash screen / en-mass emails to ensure everyone gets the chance to throw their opinion in the mix too. Naturally if this was adopted it can't be the only means because it could indeed be exploited like so many other ways could be. Yes it would also take some dev time up in providing that means of communication in game, personally if i were a dev on the team, i'd be pushing my producer to allow me to put the feature in.. but at the end of the day it is indeed down to CCP. I'm also more than willing to accept many people will have differing views on this topic too. :)

Overall i'm very happy to have seen your reply, and with that in combination with teetering on the edge of putting a vote in for you before.. i think you've provided me with enough information to be satisfied in my decision to vote for you.

All the best with the rest of the campaign.

Aeon your meticulous attitude with finding the truth of a matter should not be ignored. With already favorable interactions with CCP I know that being you becomming CPM member would only reinforce that relationship and help build the rest of CPM 1 member's influence much faster to get them to hit the ground running.

Also its always a pleasure to shoot you; I see you on often enough in my limited play times.
