CSM 9 Campaign Post
In real life I'm a 35 year old that lives in the UK. I enjoy martial arts, especially MMA. I have competed in several events in the US and am now helping to organise amatuer MMA events in the UK. I've been informed this might be a very useful skill, as sometimes CCP might need a little "head knocking" ;). The nature of my job also makes me very lucky in that I have a lot of free time to devote to the CSM if elected.
I started playing Eve over 4 years ago, after some real life friends moved in to a wormhole. I joined them and spent 4 months in a C3 wormhole, then we left for null sec for 10 months and became a director. I got tired of that and then moved back to highsec and spent a couple months doing level 4 missions while I finished a few skills for my first big wormhole corp CCRES. After 6 months, I moved on to AHARM and am now in Exceed, part of NOHO. I also have a successful T3 production and cap building corporation. I build at least 4 capitals and over a thousand T3 subsystems every week with 2 other people.
Some of the things I have done while in these alliances include:
I'm running mainly as a wormhole candidate as thats what I know best, though I do have a lot of industry experience as well.
While I realise the CSM isn’t a group of junior game designers, I think it is important to let you, the voter, know how I feel about a few of the more important topics under discussion by the wormhole community.
Now I'm well aware that wormhole space is arguably the least broken space, and I want to keep it that way, so I'll be wanting to make sure changes that affect the whole of Eve will not negatively affect wormholes.
For hisec industry I'd like to see it made less clicky. A simple start to this would be to have reverse engineering, invention and production default to the pos module the blueprint is located in, not having to select that location manually every time you do a job.
Why me over other wormhole candidates.
I feel my communication skills are good and I can put forward a good and well thought out argument. I've made a lot of contacts in wormhole space among both low and high class corps and alliances. Some have even said I know just about everyone in wormhole space, it's sadly not true but I'm working on it. While I live in a high class wormhole (Polaris is a C6 with a C6 static) I'm certainly not going to forget about the lower class wormholes. I'm happy talking to anyone should they feel like contacting me.
First of all I feel my general wormhole knowledge is right at the top. I have a great understanding of how issues will affect not just C5 and C6 but all classes, something I feel a lot of people forget about. I’ve spent the last few years talking to people all over wormhole space, this isn’t something I have just started doing now for a CSM campaign. I’ve helped develop the fleets people fly nowadays in wormhole space. I also have plenty of time to dedicate to this which is something I hope to prove over the coming weeks.
