In my years of playing Eve, I have pursued many disciplines in Eve. My short list consists of SOV warfare, small gang PVP, Fleet PVP, Mining and Industry with T2 items, Wormhole life, Exploration, Moons and Reaction, Abyssals, Burner Missions, HS Mission running, and Alliance leadership. I have called many places home in the game, J150944,Tenerifis, Etherium Reach, Period Basis, and most recently Fountain. I have fought alongside and against most entities in the game in my short career.
Condensed Eve thoughts: CCP has made some changes recently in the right direction; Carrier nerfs, ECM nerfs, buffs on unloved ships. Some went to far, and some not far enough. I support rebalancing/redesign of unused ships (marauders, ECM), a more rock, paper, scissor ship design mentality, as well as changes that support additional PVP. I enjoy PVE as a way to support me and my corp/allies, PVP habit. Fly Safe o7!
o7. Hi New Eden, Zipp Adoudel here. I am running for CSM.
What is the CSM? The CSM is suppose to be a democratically elected group of people that CCP can present ideas to and the CSM can help shape how ideas take place. The CSM is not a developer. They do not present problems with the intent to fix. The CSM is a player based advisory group to CCP.
Should the CSM be representative of all of Eve, independent of where they park their ship? Yes. If someone in your alliance or corp doesn’t get elected, does that mean you are not represented? No. The CSM is about advancing Eve. Not for just the big guy, but for everyone. The CSM has its shortcomings but works to fix game imbalances as they come and should be viewed as an important part of Eve. This institution attempts to represent all pilots of Eve. It is meant to treat each play style with viability and to pursue new and interesting ways in which old playstyles can be reborn. The CSM is like a phoenix. (Not the Caldari dread.) The mythological creature that is reborn from its own ashes. The CSM is meant to take old ideas, and guide them into new play.
Some ideas I’d like to put forward on the CSM are:
With the understanding that I am not bringing ideas to CCP, I would like to present a few of my thoughts on Eve. Here are guidelines that I would follow when making a decision:
I have a resume and a candidate short bio that is or will be out there shortly. I am not going to rehash those credentials. I have been with many Alliances, and as I play Eve, I am sure I will be with many more. I welcome all discussion. If you would like to schedule a time to chat about your group’s concerns, I would gladly welcome it. I am by no means an expert in Eve. I am but a humble student and willing to represent each and everyone of you to the best of my ability. I have set up an email for my campaign and for my time in office, if I fit your needs. Please send me thoughts on Eve and all requests to [ZippAdoudel@gmail.com] or @ZAdoudel on twitter.
