Greetings gamers, HuntBuzz here. I’m putting my name forward as a candidate for CSM 21.
My EVE story (so far…)
I’ve played EVE on and off since 2006. Today, I lead The Initiative’s Nightstalkers black ops group and serve as a junior alliance FC. I’m running because I care about EVE’s future and want to bring practical experience, constructive feedback, and a willingness to listen to the CSM.
My EVE story began in high sec, running missions in a Drake and trying my hand at mining. That changed when I joined hirr, led by Ashemi Darkhold, in Morsus Mihi. There, I had the chance to explore mining, PvE, and PvP, and discover just how much EVE had to offer.
After Morsus Mihi disbanded, I followed hirr to RAZOR Alliance before later joining Black Legion. I took a long break in 2014 and returned in 2020, spending time with hirr in TEST and then Black Omega Security. I still miss the shutupandshave parodies on comms.
Following TEST’s collapse and another break, I returned in 2023 and joined Kenshin in Fraternity. They were a great bunch of people. Eventually, I wanted more freedom to develop a dedicated black ops group, which brought me to The Initiative. INIT has been my home ever since.
My areas of expertise
Covert warfare:
Leading Nightstalkers gives me practical experience organising black ops fleets, hunting targets, and turning opportunities into kills.
Scanning and wormhole exploration:
As a contributor to INIT’s Wormhole Crew, I help map connections and use wormholes to move fleets and reach targets.
Small gang PvP:
I enjoy leading fleets of up to 25 pilots and experimenting with fittings and tactics. I do not shy away from larger engagements of up to 150 pilots though!
Mining and industry:
I built my titan from scratch and continue to build black ops ships for Nightstalkers. I understand the work that goes into putting those ships in space.
Structures and power projection:
My experience in null sec has given me a close view of how tether, keepstars, supercapital storage, and ansiblex networks shape both everyday activity and larger conflicts.
Why am I applying for CSM
After many years in EVE, I want to give something back to the community. The CSM offers an opportunity to bring player experience and feedback directly to FC and I want to help turn that feedback into clear, practical discussions about the game’s future.
My strongest experience is in null sec, but my commitment would be to players across EVE. That means listening to people with different playstyles, taking their concerns seriously, and being willing to reconsider my own views.
My main priorities
Tether: Reassess the amount of safety tether provides and push for a better balance between protection, risk, and opportunities for engagement.
Keepstars: Address their outsized influence on null sec warfare, particularly around defensive strength and supercapital safety.
Ansiblex networks: Build on recent progress and continue examining how they affect mobility, power projection, and conflict.
Sovereignty: Push for a system that gives smaller groups better opportunities to establish themselves, hold space, and compete.
Projection: Make sure that we are making the right decisions that will not cause the game to grow stale.
What can you expect from me
You can expect me to listen beyond my own alliance, welcome constructive disagreement, communicate with the community, and put serious effort into representing your concerns to FC.
I want EVE to remain a game where taking risks is worthwhile, smaller groups have room to grow, and players have reasons to undock.
Thanks for reading. I’d appreciate your questions, your feedback, and your support for CSM 21.

大家好，我是 HuntBuzz，这次准备参选 CSM 21。
先聊聊我的 EVE 经历
我从 2006 年开始玩 EVE，中间 AFK 过几次。现在，我负责带领 INIT（The Initiative）的 Nightstalkers 黑隐队，同时担任联盟的初级 FC。
这次参选，是因为我很在意 EVE 的未来。我希望把这些年积累的实际经验带到 CSM，认真听取大家的意见，提供有建设性的反馈。
和不少人一样，我最早也是在高安开幼龙跑任务，偶尔挖挖矿。后来，我加入了 Morsus Mihi 联盟旗下、由 Ashemi Darkhold 带领的 hirr 军团，才慢慢接触到更广阔的 EVE。在那里，采矿、PvE、PvP 都有机会尝试，我也逐渐发现，这个游戏能玩的东西远比我想象中多。
Morsus Mihi 解散后，我跟着 hirr 去了 RAZOR Alliance，后来又加入 Black Legion。2014 年，我开始了一次长时间的 AFK，直到 2020 年才回来。回归后，我先跟 hirr 在 TEST 待了一段时间，之后加入了 Black Omega Security。直到现在，我还挺怀念语音里 shutupandshave 的那些恶搞改编。
TEST 崩盘之后，我又 AFK 了一阵。2023 年回来时，我加入了 FRT（Fraternity）旗下的 Kenshin。那里的朋友都很不错。后来，我想专心发展一支黑隐队，也希望有更大的自主空间，于是来到了 INIT。从那时起，我就一直把这里当作自己在 EVE 的家。
我熟悉哪些玩法
黑隐作战
我平时带 Nightstalkers，组织黑隐舰队、寻找目标、抓住机会完成击杀，这些都是我一直在做的事。
扫描和虫洞探索
我也参与 INIT 的 Wormhole Crew 虫洞团队，帮忙扫描、记录虫洞连接，利用虫洞给舰队找路，带大家接近目标。
小队 PvP
我喜欢带 25 人以内的小队，研究配装、尝试不同的战术。当然，规模上到 150 人的团战，我也一样愿意打！
采矿和工业
我的泰坦是自己从零造出来的，现在也还在给 Nightstalkers 造黑隐。所以我很清楚，一艘船从生产到真正出站，背后要花多少时间和精力。
建筑和兵力投送
这些年的 00 经历，让我切身体会到建筑系留保护（Tether）、星城、超旗存放，以及安塞波跳桥网络对游戏的影响。无论是平时的日常活动，还是大规模战争，这些机制都直接影响着大家怎么玩、怎么打。
为什么想进 CSM
玩了这么多年，我想为这个社区做点事。
CSM 能把玩家的实际体验和意见直接带给 FC。我希望做好这件事，把大家的反馈梳理清楚，让关于游戏未来的讨论更具体、更务实。
我最熟悉的确实是 00，但如果当选，我会认真对待整个 EVE 玩家群体的诉求。不同玩法的玩家遇到的问题，我愿意听，也愿意花心思去理解。如果别人的观点有道理，我也愿意重新考虑自己的看法。
我最想推动讨论的几个问题
系留保护
系留到底应该提供多大程度的安全保障？我希望重新审视这个问题，在保护、风险和交战机会之间找到更合理的平衡。
星城
星城对 00 战争的影响过大，尤其是自身的防御强度，以及它为超旗提供的安全保障。这些都是我希望重点推动讨论和改进的问题。
安塞波跳桥网络
在近期已有进展的基础上，继续关注跳桥网络对舰队机动、兵力投送和冲突的影响。
主权
我希望推动主权机制的改进，让小型组织有更多机会扎下根、守住自己的地盘，也有参与竞争的空间。
兵力投送
兵力投送机制该怎么调整，需要想清楚。我希望相关决策能让游戏保持活力，避免局面越来越僵、大家越来越没得打。
如果当选，我会怎么做
我会主动听取自己联盟以外的声音，欢迎有建设性的不同意见，和玩家社区保持沟通，也会认真投入时间和精力，把大家关心的问题带到 FC 面前。
我希望 EVE 一直是一个值得冒险的游戏：小型组织有发展的空间，玩家有出站的理由。
感谢大家读到这里。有什么问题，欢迎来问；有什么意见，也欢迎直接说。希望能在 CSM 21 的选举中得到大家的支持。
