I'm not worried you'll check up on them. I gave them my word that I wouldn't release their details.

Why? Because supporting DUST, or radical reforms is tantamount to influential suicide. Imagine if the leader of a large alliance wanted to actually weaken his own alliance? Would he be in power, or have an alliance much longer?

I wont be the cause of people falling from their positions of power (through politics anyway), and I will keep my word to let them remain anonymous.

We will see the impact (or non-impact) of their support when it comes to election time.

As to the impact you had on Zion Shad. He stopped his campaign for his won reasons, and putting yourself forward as THE reason he stopped is grossly arrogant and self-serving. Regardless, he stopped running, and as far as I am aware, has been less active due to a hectic work schedule or something akin to that.

In fact, why don't you tell me exactly how you'd like to see them put into the game so we as a community can discuss and see if we think you deserve the job and are putting the interests of the community before your own?... How should Dust impact Nullsec and why?... How should the market be put in to interact with both games?... What should the tax rates be on isk transfers between each game and why? How should Dust side Lowsec work? How will Concord interact with Dust? How should OB's work in Lowsec and in Nullsec in comparison to Hisec and FW space? DUST should impact Nullsec the same way it should, and will, impact Faction Warfare. As an OPTION to change the playing field. In Faction Warfare, what we do at the moment is alter the amount of VP required to cause a System to become vulnerable by controlling districts. It doesn't stop FW systems from changing hands purely by EVE actions, but changes the dynamics. The market is a relatively simple question. EVE is driven by players, and manufacturing is a major part of the game. DUST manufacturing should impact the economy in the same way. The ISK transfer issue is a major one. Some would welcome the ability to mass transfer ISK, and some vilify it as those corporations backed by even a single EVE Corporation, would have no fear of death, loss, except for their KDR. They could pack on the best gear withotu fear of loss of income. There are multiple ways that such transfers could be done, but in my opinion, a Tax on Transfers is not the way to go, it would further enable much larger and richer Alliances and Corporations to bankroll their DUST Soldiers. Pertaining to DUST lowsec... you're applying a generalized portion of Space to a game that inhabits the planetary bodies. With my ideas (stated above in my novel of a post) low sec would operate the same way lowsec does in EVE. Your low sec regions (systems) would be FFA combat. Allowing for Raider forces, lone gunmen, that solo sniper sitting on a District Gate... All would be possible. CONCORD is a policing body, and could , in essence, be made similarly to interact with DUST if you instigate the aforementioned +¦pen world' style of gameplay. ie. You shoot a 'friendly' in High-Security Areas, and Concord Dropships appear, land troops, who then hunt you down. As to Orbital Strikes. I am not a fan of how they work currently. Why? Because it is the sole mechanic relying on an escalating scale. DUST does not require escalation to call in vehicles, not anything else. It doesn't have the ability to pick up discarded weaponary, as it shouldn't, so why fall bak on an antiquated escalatory system for this one mechanic? In my opinion, there should be an Equippable Item that allows you to laz a target area for orbital strike. Requiring that a) you hold that target area in LOS for a time no less than 10 seconds to transmit coordinates, and b) keep that target area lazed until such time as the strike is launched. This should be subject to a team-based cool down, of not less than 10 minutes. Making such strikes valuable commodities, capable of being launched by either side, even if the losing side hasn't accrued a number of warpints at all, but have EVE Support. That brings me to the point that without EVE-side support, there should be no Orbital Strike Capablity. What? I don't mean remove the ability to call in something entirely, but replace orbital with something less of the same general effect. I'd thnk, an attack from the MCC batteries in the area would suit best. You'd sacrifice you MCCs next few attacks on the opposing MCC to launch a Volley at the ground. With a CD of not less than 5 minutes on a Team-based CD.

I didn't want zionshad on it either and look where he is now. He gave up and hardly even posts on the forums or on TheMittani.com you've still ignored my question about who in nullsec you've spoken to about resource homogenization, who have you spoke to? Worried im gonna check up? ... Because you should be. Im going to go through your above post after work as its too much to reply to on my phone.
Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 773	Posted - 2013.03.05 13:00:00 - [245] - Quote Also you've not answered some of questions, just given your opinion. I want to know, with unlimited resourses and the ability to do anything you wanted how would you have them implemented. If tax is not the best thing in your opinion what is? dont tell me just your opinion without a proposed fix to it either, its just lazy and shows you've no clue.
Soraya Xel Gentlemen's Foreign Legion Gentlemen's Agreement 13	Posted - 2013.03.05 19:50:00 - [246] - Quote While I share your desire for much greater EVE / DUST integration, a lot of ideas you're pushing aren't good, or at least, aren't well thought out. For instance, even pirate ships can be bought, sold, and flown in empire space. There's no rhyme, reason, or precedent for ships only players involved in certain factions can fly. It makes no sense in the sandbox, where I can buy a ship, and fly it wherever I want, or resell it to anyone I want. Regarding delayed local in null... There is no doubt Local is a bad method of system surveillance. However, it's the only system we have, and it would be a poor choice to try and remove it without an adequate replacement. First and foremost, local tells me there's something to fight. Space is big, and players won't even run into each other without local. People won't be able to find fights at all. I'd rather see it replaced with more scanning-based methods in the future, but something more elaborate (and easier to use) than what we have now, would need to be devised before Local could be replaced.

This is a thread about you and its safe to say you've not spoken to any major nullsec players about this because I've not spoke to many thats spoken to you at all, let and non have spoken to you about supporting any part of your platform. Most of them think you're a joke based on your original platform. Time to put up or shut up Blake. You can't win the support of this community without giving us facts and you need this community behind you right now. We want chat logs and proof you have backing because right now it seems you're fumbling in the dirt trying to find something to grab on to. You've still not given me specifics on how you think any of the above issues should be handeled. If tax is not what you want, what is your solution?..

Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 774	Posted - 2013.03.06 07:07:00 - [251] - Quote Ask Kain, Jenza and Sha Kharn Clone how much effort we all put into making sure Shad wasn't elected. And thats not everyone involved.

And thats not everyone involved. And so far Kain, jenza, and Sha Kharn Clone have weighed in only minimally on this candidate. Even then, I speak to Kain regularly, he may not support all my ideas, but even he sees that I have the community's best interests at heart. The only thing that differs is the way we want that support to occur. And I did answer your questions and issues with specifics except that one you've pointed out. I did say a tax wasn't the way to do it. In this situation I'll state in all honesty that I don't have a hard and concrete solution. I know a tax isn't the solution because it will favour large bankrollers over smaller ones. (Larger ones obviously able to send over copious amounts to offset any amount of tax.) One idea I had was to raise the prices of DUST-side items to reflect, but seriously, it has no logical standing, as the tax doesn't either. Second was to not allow ISK transfers... another shortfall, since that's a denial of true integration. On this subject, I would not provide the CSM ideas on how to handle the situation, but on how not to handle it. A process of elimination. As to my voter base being silent. That is their wish, and I WILL NOT jeopardize their trust in me. Not for political gain, not for anything. If I win, it will be off their backs, if I do not, they will not be tied to a candidate that failed and can resume their current positions without fear of being linked to a failed DUST-based platform. Your campaign to make me quit Cerebral, will not work. I will be running, and in the belief that I can win a seat. Why? Because it is my conviction that CSM needs a DUST-based representative. You have also yet to deny any of the ideas I did post, nor the large 'future' vision post I made. Your attack is based on what, a lack of community support for me? Your general dislike of me in person? (Something I find difficult to fathom since I'm not aware of any slight to you I have made.) I have some community support, from here, and from EVE. 've had interviews, answered questions on my platform, and I wasn't laughed off. In fact Xander wished me luck, and believe that a DUST candidate on the CSM is a very good idea at THIS point in time, and many people agreed with him. Considering the so called 'dead weight'that was listed on this years CSM, you'd think that a DUST-based candidate would be welcomed by both communities, and Zion Shad, despite his falling out, had the community's interests at heart in his own way, as do many of us. Except those who look only at what they can destroy, defame, and deny.
The Black Jackal The Southern Legion 305	Posted - 2013.03.06 11:29:00 - [253] - Quote Additionally, isn't the point of a campaign to win further support? Not to reiterate and oust the support I have currently. The idea, that people will vote for who will win, over a wanted platform, is laughable. Yes, there are bloc candidates, and primaries for niche societies like wormholes, and faction warfare, these you KNOW have support because, well, their primaries (selected in a primary vote), or backed by alliances of thousands of people. I'm running on my platform, I may have to refine and clarify my positions further, but the platform, in my opinion, is what I stand for. Greater interaction and integration with New Eden, becoming a new facet of New Eden, able to influence the game as much as and EVE Capsuleer is capable of.
Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 774	Posted - 2013.03.06 12:59:00 - [254] - Quote I've woke up with a stinking cold today so its unlikley I will reply in detail tonight but I want to make it clear I dont want you to quit, thats not my goal at all. I think what your doing is needed and I fully support the CSM idea over CPM. Im simply playing devils advocate and voicing my own opinion that I dont think the timing is right. If you fail your failure looks bad on the whole community. Not just yourself and we are already having a hard time gaining respect with eve players as it is. I want the community as a whole to do well and im concerned that you will set back the whole community if you do a bad job. Os it so wrong that im grilling you because I want to test your answers before they are put to the community as a whole. If you represent us at the end of the election I want to make damn sure you are ready for it is that wrong that I want to make sure the person talking with my voice has earnt that right? ZionShad didn't earn that respect and made a huge ass of himself. I respect the guys commitment and the work he did but he just wasn't the right guy for the job.

You being the only candidate with a DUST focus yet so out of touch with the needs of the community is why he almost ran. Personally I wish he would reconsider, but he is adamant that the time is too soon and he doesn't want distractions from his ability to organize community events. At best, he told you that he supports any effort to improve CCP/DUST Community relations. How much of your other cited support is half-truths?

The Black Jackal The Southern Legion 306	Posted - 2013.03.22 00:53:00 - [258] - Quote Due to an unforseen complication in acquiring a passport by the due time of the CSM8 Application period, I have been forced to withdraw my application. Complications arose when, having shared the same name (and at one point the same address) as my grandfather, his passing away a few years back has led some branches of the Australian Government to consider me deceased. While technology of cloning, and Reanimation has not yet hit Australia, the law does not provision for resurrected people to acquire passports. Thus the burden of proof has fallen on me to have this sorted out. Hopefully, the process will be faster than I expect, but due to the limited timeframe of the CSM8 Applications, I was unable to provide adequate information to run as a candidate. Hopefully, with this sorted out soon, you will see me between now and running for CSM9 next year. To any other candidates, good luck! The Black Jackal, aka Hunter Blake
