CEOPyrex CloneA wrote:Hello!
Great OP - i think its really nice to see some candidates who are playing at the very top of the game running for CPM. I think that perhaps gives you a huge advantage over many of the other runners given that they perhaps see only 50% of the game really so really quite excited to hear more about your thoughts on how this top tier of the game (or end game?) player base can be represented.
Some questions if i may,
1 - Loved the commentary about Dusts major gripes (WP leaching, PC issues etc) would would you feel is a quick win, low hanging fruit type of fix that would get more people into PC perhaps? Given the context that Rattati is making some excellent hot fix tweaks, what do you feel could be achieved in the next patch to enable or enrich PC?
Thanks for the reply!
CEO
I honestly don't know exactly what is within the scope of a hotfix TBH. I don't think that something like lowering the isk entry price somehow would be enough to entice more players to commit to PC.
I have definitely been a proponent for a long time of making is enticing for small corps to be able to participate in PC by making some districts smaller, and thus require only 8 players instead of 16. I have been preaching this for a long time, yet I don't pretend to assume it is feasible now.
We need CCP to be explicitly clear about what is within the realm of possibility. Can we ask for some new development that would include this if it was made a priority by the community?
I feel strongly PC must be fostered as if allows the most immersion many have ever felt playing dust, and has been a release valve for those who were left craving more than stomping pubs otherwise.
On the flip side of the coin, the opportunity cost needs to be weighed. While PC is the lifeblood of the competitive community on Dust, adding increased immersion to public matches and faction warfare may yield important results if changes could be made there as well, such as team deploy (assuming the wrinkles can be worked out) or perhaps allowing in some form or fashion for you to influence the area of your fight. I've never been satisfied that instant battles offered me nothing of their context in New Eden aside from a shallow name I don't have any idea about who I am and what I am accomplishing. Same in FW. I know which faction I choose, but FW standings and battles offer me little immersion aside from a few RP players.
This is a recurring theme of my campaign. We need clear direction and expectations from CCP about what is plausible.
We can't hold them accountable and make informed decisions relative to opportunity costs of development time until this is crystal clear.
I humbly ask you support my candidacy for CPM1

I've gone into detail many times on many things, just not in my introduction. A great resource would be my vote match profile and candidate comparison on different topics. if you have a specific issue you'd like discussed feel free to ask.
I think the assertion i'm 100% dependent on others is false, and can be proven by examples such as GImble's podcast where I disagreed with everyone there -before- 1.8 that the assault suits bonuses would suck, the work I contributed with Rattati's threads on gal scouts that was fully implemented, and more.
http://dust.eve-csm.com/candidate.php?id=75
Appia, SMB, Argetlam Thorson, and Sven Reed will all disagree that I'm the only PC candidate, but I do have more than anyone else, as well as -total- experience earned in game comparatively.

I think people basing their voting because some candidates occupy "a position of power" in their eyes are missing out.
Many many many of the best CSM members have been power players in their respective corps/alliances and contributed just fine.
I do not think being in a position of power in game should be a deterrent to serving on the CSM of CPM.

I do not feel that because I don't have what you claim is 'content' in my OP that I am unfit to help represent the players. And As I read through ALL the csm and cpm campaign threads I find myself in good company in that regard.
Sorry. But i'm ok agreeing to disagree.

Wow, guys. Chill. Sota homie I appreciate your negative feedback, and I think you've made yourself quite clear. Neither side will progress this any further so please.
I'm not going to respond any further to you because I know you're here to be a ****. That's fine, I can't stop you.

Bubaloo1 wrote:Because Zatara lies, abuses mechanics, and quite simply there are far better candidates out there. If you look back at the gallente scout feedback thread you'll notice how zatara supported removing the cloak's dampening bonus knowing full well it would make the caldari scout overpowered and the minmatar and ammar scouts useless. Also, isn't it zatara's job to convince me to vote for him? All he has going for him is a list of meaningless endorsements and a lot of play time.
Not trying to be a **** but you asked why
Actually the changes I suggested made it so cal scouts have the toughest time (i feely admit they should IMO be the only scout not completely unscannable as an offset to the scanning they bring to the table) being completely unscannable due to only having 2 lows while making sure min and amarr have an easier time.
In game actions are unimpeachable and thus irrelevant with regards to assertions of lieing.
I'm sorry you feel I abused mechanics.
I could be the biggest most nefarious person around, and that wouldn't be justification for not considering my campaign.
If you feel there are better candidates out there, go stop by their threads.
I stand behind the idea E-war needs rebalancing and equipment should not offer module bonuses like dampening.
If you disagree feel free to justify it.

Bubaloo1 wrote:So you're saying the min and amarr scouts should have to use 3 low slots to be unscannable? Also, being scanned is irrelevant when you can see everyone. That is definitely justification. The cpm should be made of accountable, honest people. If the community can't trust you in game, then how can they trust you irl? Already have The cloak is useless if it doesn't provide a dampening bonus. There's no point in being invisible if entire squads can see a chevron over your head.
Being completely unscannable should be a tremendous endeavor that requires 3 damps from an amarr and min, IMO. If we want scouts to choose between being speed tanked and invisible I think this would contribute to that cause. I found myself in the minority on this though and supported the changes because the community wished them.
The cloak is very useful even if it only makes you invisible, you simply need to use it in conjunction with damps. Nevertheless I agree while being scanned it's currently useless I've suggested how this should be reworked after conversing with Appia about it. She suggested the cloak should erase your direction of the chevron while we were discussing how to make it better without offering module bonuses. I think it's a cool idea.
And I'm open to more suggestions.
The current meta of simply being unscannable off the bat on all fittings while remaining tanked aside from Min who suffer vastly form cpu/pg deficiency is deplorable. Needs to be a sacrifice to get under most all scans...like 2 damps..and then a game changing amount of investment fitting wise to be completely under all scans. But as it was in 1.7 for gal scouts, only extended to allow allow or allow but the cal perhaps as previously mentioned.
Although, as I've previously said, I may be wrong and am not on the CPM to proffer my views but those of the community.
I think Rattati echoed each others sentiments that scouts shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too in terms of e-war and while retaining negligible differences in tank compared to assaults.
Actually the people who are some of the largest scoundrels in Eve have made great CSM's.
Furthermore a recent study actually published that there's a link between doing morally questionable things in a video game and being more morally sensitive to doing 'good' as a result.
Regardless I completely disagree that in game actions like stealing or scamming should have anything to do with how you vote.
And the wealth of contributors to the past CSM that were accused of such things stand as positive evidence to my point.
Being able to separate my in game actions like contributing to the end of the DNS donut through betrayal is not a good reason to vote or not vote for me.

Furthermore i often join squads when im soloing (higher % of having mics or at least listening) and talk about what they are running, what they hate enjoy and want improved. Although i think i woll improve and make an effort to reach out and try to help them improve of they are amiable. :D
Ive always been known for helping people theorycraft how to make fits or strats and spent loooong long hours dping so to the benefit of old friends like ellithana mori to strats n such with teamplayers (actually cubs used to reprove me and a few others often for spending literally hours trying to figure put what needed to improve if a win wasnt decisive enough. Obviously this most recent example was not new players however.
I am not the end all be all deity of helping newbros despite my vested interest. Ive picked a lot of new players and brought them into my family to help them become who they are today. Some were just beasts waiting to happen and others needed heavy repetitious counsel, but they shared the same quality of being relatively young and wanted more.
Hell i made jenova a director after a few weeks of watching his ambition and dedication unfold through experiences despite him having only 7 mill sp at the time.

Piling on against him and the players who spoke up on his behalf in the forums showed me you might just be another follow the pack kind of representative that we players do not need.
Thanks for showing me your true character just before the polls closed, I would have wasted a vote on you otherwise.
Oh no problem!
If bringing up concerns after reading everything and playing devils advocate with your -actual- attacks on others is nterpreted as "being a follower" and "piling on judge" then youre not the type of informed voter i care to sway in the first place.
People like yourself who cannot entertain the possibility that they are wrong are like an obstacle that incites stumbling to those who's core predicates unassuming curiosity and conclusions such as mine. Your confirmation bias is ineradicable. Theres no ability to reason with you. Later on in life i hope you see the wisdom in choosing an attitude more humble. Im not trying to insult you.
Unlike you though i remain ever open to changing my mind. If you wish to change my mind come and may we reason together!
For me, Conviction is a Destination. And perhaps you may be right in your presumptions of their intents, but as that post stated... Im not attacking him at all..but logic seems rather unsound and not sought after thoroughly in consideration of the posts in question. If it has then my simple scrutiny would have been answered...not deflected and twisted into irrelevant pittle about how im now attacking judge and "follow the pack" and what have you.
Ive been insulted and demonized far more eloquently and convincingly than your paltry critique.
I am sorry to have come off snarky though. Perhaps if i had had an opportunity to know you a little better youd have known this was not my intent. I promise i will strive harder to improve my posting so that it is not received this way.
