Funny, how many of you trained new players? How many of you didn't stomp them in a match with millions of ISK?
STFU to any/all CPMs. You're all the same... looking for more power in your elite percentage of players until the game all out expires.
Yes, I am running for the CPM.
Yes, I do have 175+ million ISK.
No, I don't train new players.
Now that I've confirmed your speculation, allow me to explain from my side of things.
I'm not going to pretend that I train new players or that I would, in any capacity, be the right person to do that. There are other CPM candidates (Kevall Longstride, notably) that are better suited for that job. So I'm not going to BS you, If your objective is a better NPE than I'm likely not the candidate you want to vote for because I am, admittedly, the last person who should ever be training a new player.
My goals, however, are to empower the community with better tools to do just that. My platform is to work tirelessly (of which I already am as I'm in contact with a number of developers and volunteers even without being on the CPM) to provide the Dust 514 community what they need to make the third party apps that help players, old and new, and to provide them ways to make a much larger impact as a whole on the community through their own means.
I'll give you a really good example of something I want to accomplish:
Everyone knows about Protofits. We all love protofits. One thing that is particularly painful, however, is having to manually adjust each and every little skill in order to have the fitting tool reflect your character. My goal is to streamline that, and provide players access to their own API key with which all they need to do is login, copy/paste that key -ONCE- to their login, and their skills be adjusted and updated in real time with protofits.
Or, even better, if you could use that same API Key and then show me what your capable of fitting and I could make a fit that would allow you to help the team in FW or PC, and then explain to you why that fitting would work with -YOUR SKILLS-. Or even tell you what you need to skill into to make it better.
Want another example? How about a mobile app that gives you a notification on your phone whenever your corp's district has been attacked? Or you being able to look at that same mobile app while on your lunch break at work and finding that you just got enough Passive SP to unlock that really cool thing you always wanted?
EDIT: Another thing I've wanted to do is to formalize something like
Eve Online's ISD team, which, by the way, has a team of volunteers (STAR) dedicated -EXPRESSLY- to helping new players.
That's my goal and it's something I've been after for well over two years now.
So no, I am -NOT- the candidate you want if your only concern is a candidate that will train new players and.... I dunno, arbitrarily be broke. But I am the candidate you want if you want the tools and support you'd need in order to make that training more efficient.
