This man has my vote. I fly with him on a regular basis and value his opinion and communication style. He is a good small gang / AT pilot.

No, of course I don’t think that CCP communicated well with either the removal of the classic proving grounds, or the seemingly permanent hiatus of the new proving grounds.
When it comes to the the recent drama regarding the events on hoboleaks, I think that CCP learned the wrong lesson. It seems clear - to me - that their takeaway was “stop adding things to hoboleaks until they are ready”, and they’ve also withdrawn from conversations regarding the proving grounds.
I know that CCP Swift has stated that he would like proving grounds to return, and that the reason they didn’t end up coming back was the work being done on the new expansion. But I really wish that CCP had looked at this the opposite way - that the more passionate players are about a subject, the more communication it should receive.

I’ve known Itaer for way too bloody long, and as always he’s too passionate about this game for his own good. Good luck mate!
@Itaer 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?
Yes, I think that the most successful part of Dust 514 was the integration with Eve, and I’d like to see CCP lean on that as much as possible for Vanguard.
As far as stack splitting - I think that’s an excellent little things suggestion (point 3 of my platform), so of course I’d love to see it! Hopefully we can get CCP to commit to more quality of life changes like that.

Any comment on Allowing things like Mining Barges into FW sites Med and Above.
They are currently blocked from entering some pvp sites.
I see this as unfair, I’m the one fighting at a disadvantage SO LET ME IN!
O7 Itaer,
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:
-
What ONE identifiable consequence requires CCP’s attention?
-
What PROVABLE evidence can you supply to support your belief in this situation?
-
What practical, and balanced change can be made to support a solution if any?
-
What support do your observations have from other CSM candidates?
-
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.
I translated this post for the Japanese.
