I want to thank all the people that supported me. My family, my friends, my new allies, especially **Ushra’Khan** , who provide me some shelter right now and were nothing but friendly to me, even forming a fleet to rescue me, when I was in distress. I will work on my campaign the next weeks and hope my marketing team can finnish a small campaign video. **Fly safe and don’t be afraid of your goals. Face your fear because your goal demands it!

I have not felt this motivated to vote for a CSM candidate since my CEO ran for CSM. I’m even willing to contribute to this campaign financially, if required. It would be nice to have someone on the CSM with less blood on their hands than myself. ---

in the books Empyrean Age and Templar One one or the other at least I read them both last year there was mention of crews dying on even navy ships. Not being recloned but straight up dying. That suggests even navy crew can die, even if on a ship flown by a capsuleer who serves a given empire navy (with rank and attached status) ---

I just wanted to adress something. I was blackmailed to end my life by @Xuxe_Xu. She threatened to Jettison millions of slaves if I would not comply to her and commit suicide by autopiloting to delve. As a Minmatar Citizen, this weighted heavy on my shoulders and I really thought about ending my campaign and my life. However, this matter is resolved now, thanks to the people and friends that helped me. It was a hoax, a very tasteless one, and I will continue my campaign now.

I recently did an Interview with one of my hardest critics, who also started the bounty hunt. I think it is a good statement to publish here, however, I want to add this little sentence: I am very careful with proposals. I don’t want to build my campaign around stuff like that. I think people should feel that I love the universe and that I take my part in it serioulsy as I will take the CSM position serious. 🙂 :fedo: > **(Expand) Summary of Archer en Tilavine’s interview of Komi Valentine** > > ## Archer: How many other characters are you currently playing with alongside Komi, and what kinds of activities are they doing? > > Komi [OOC]: I have my old character on the same account + an alt (2012).

How will you justify these actions RP-wise, especially since there does not appear to be an apparent connection (RP-wise) between Komi and Ushra’Khan/Ferra Orta, or any reason why they should give you amnesty at all.

They would have blown up anybody who engaged me illegally, but they are not responsible for my personal safety. I knew of at least one smartbombing ship that waited for me, so I had to flee in a Probe that wasn’t even fully fitted and I soon found myself stranded deep in nullsec.

Bounties in Eve are kind of meaningless right now, but since the hunt would end up in a biomassed character that someone really cares about, it would probably give a great feeling of accomplishment to the person that claims it, being the ONE that managed to take the target down. As a target it was giving me a lot of accomplishment, too. Dealing with blackmails, managing to escape a prison. However, I could feel it interrupt my gameplay a little since I was stranded in Nullsec and couldn’t return to my BPC-“business” and production. It was actually a little sad that the bounty didn’t seem to motivate anyone following me into Nullsec. I did not ever think the hunt was unfair or a bad move, but the one thing you could improve is not taking in game events to a personal level. “Egomaniacal RPer” is a personal attack and it really hurt me a little after all the work I had done for my campaign and all the future work I prepared for. So that was kind of a dick move. Whatever, it proves that Eve can be much fun and inspiration ^\_^.

[CCP TV - CSM15 Candidate Interviews - Day 3](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/634599962) Komi Valentine at 42:34 Komi friend, you should make more EvE-related graphics in Blender and so (you seem to have some talent in such areas) rather than stand for CSM. I think you are not ready to represent all of the game yet. I don’t mean because of language. English language is of course just a tool we all use in common to communicate with each other regardless of where in the world we come from.

@Midnight0587 Thank you! 🙂 [ I think some years ago, Eve had a very different mindset to what it wanted to become. There were many innovative ways to attract different playerbases. Like Dust, WiS and Valkyrie. To me it was really sad to come back after all those years just to find a game, that got rid of all but it’s main core. I think CCP is aware of this as well, and they have done amazing things in the past, that focussed on the core gameplay and that’s really great. But we should not forget to introduce new visions. The Triglavian Content right now is really cool, and fits well into eve, but there should be a unique selling point besides the worlds best MMO economy simulation or sandbox whatever. If eve doesn’t have a vision for some crazy best enemy AI, completely different ways to interact with the sandbox (dust, valkyrie), beautiful roleplay elements (character editor and WiS) it will not evolve past a certain point. And there will be a game, that will offer that in the future, it should be Eve ideally ^^ ] @Xuxe_Xu Sorry, but I don’t want publicity from people that blackmailed me in the past. 😉 [Thanks, I want to create some awesome eve stuff in the future, that’s on my agenda, but currently I’m not finding the time to do it. Actually I haven’t had the balls to watch the video yet, because I know **my representative** ■■■■■■ up. \<\_\< I think I need to get rid of him :3] ---
