Grima The Mad for CSM 19

I’ve been all over the place in Eve, high-sec space was where I spent the first few years. Missions, exploration, mining, all that “fun” stuff. In the time since I first started I’ve been all over the place, low sec, null, backpacking through J-space in a Stratios.

What things have I done?

I’ve spent time in several flavors of space. Most recently I’ve been living in wormhole space. I’ve met wonderful people, and made great friends. Most of my time in game was spent supporting the various corporations that I was a part of over the years, in the last year I’ve switched from a support role to a leadership role and founded a small alliance focused around wormhole space.

Why I’m running for CSM

I’m running for CSM again because I want to make sure Eve sticks around. I would love to see continued work on alliance and corporation tools which allow greater cooperation between member of corporations\alliances through in game systems.

I’m also interested in seeing general improvements to how some things work in game. Containers and inventory management at scale needs some serious work as an example.

What Players can expect from me?
I am here running for CSM again making the promise I will listen to anyone who will bring me their problems. I want to be a part of why Eve sticks around and do whatever I can to help it do so.

Are you for bring back the drifter in c5/c6 wormholes without a capital? Also are you also for bringing more value into the avengers?

Grima cured my cancer, and fixed my dog!

(Totally not cause they are my CEO!)

@Grima_The_Mad Do you support hiring (EVE Vanguard) Warclone Mercenaries as an attack/defense vector in Capsuleer conflicts? Like attacking/defending Planetary Infrastructure, Skyhooks/POCOs and Upwell Structures?

As a CSM would you try and pitch for CCP to make stack multi-split (splitting a stack of items into multiple stacks of same size in one go instead of just one split at a time) happen?

O7 Grima The Mad,

Last year I asked eight questions and then compiled the answers into a huge mega-thread. It was massive. With the exception of MILINT_ARC_Trooper, no one had a thread bigger than mine, to be fair MILINT_ARC_Troopers’ thread was so weighty and knowledgable it teetered on the edge of collapsing into its’ own core.

That catalogue of replies is now a time-capsule and encapsulated within are the hopes and disappointments that CSM 18 candidates considered worth speaking about during the year of EVE’s 20th anniversary.

The responses gave voters en masse an opportunity to test and compare each hopeful CSM 18 candidates commitment to their claims of being community oriented, knowledgable, responsive and representative of player values. Given that the CSM does not directly control any aspect of EVE’s development and that the successful candidates are those that can identify existing and future consequences, co-operate with other CSM members, and communicate issues -from a player perspective- to CCP staff one-to-one, I’ve formulated a set of questions designed to seperate the compressed ORE from the Long-Limb Roes in this years election race.

Year-on-year the Independent Representatives, Solo players with single accounts, Worm Holers, Triangle People, Semi-nomadic Role-Playing Sandbox Explorers, and Salvagers, have been organising and gaining traction against the self-secure Null-Bloc Empire Candidates and their vast hordes of leather-skinned, evil, flying-monkeys. More-and-more players are choosing to vote in members they believe can positively impact CCP’s approach to the game regardless of their in-game affiliations.

Exposure matters, who are you, what is your clue?
As was the process last year I will post each candidates reply in a super thread, first-in first-served.

This years questions:

  1. What ONE identifiable consequence requires CCP’s attention?

  2. What PROVABLE evidence can you supply to support your belief in this situation?

  3. What practical, and balanced change can be made to support a solution if any?

  4. What support do your observations have from other CSM candidates?

  5. How will you present your findings to CCP?

If you have already identified and spoken about a problem in your CSM candidacy bio at the top of this thread feel free to copy pasta that response where applicable. I’ll copy paste directly from your response to this post. Choose your goblet…. wisely.

Let the games begin, and may the odds ever be in your favour.

Good luck Grima!

I’ll get on the ballot one day… Maybe.
:thinking:
