Make wormholes great again.

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?
1 . Bottlenecks to any content . more isk in peoples hands = more pvp

  1. If you have access to more isk, you are more risk adverse. For instance… highsec encompasses less than 5% of all space available, and they cant even make that “safe”. Newbros hate this game because of that. we only retain about 1 out of every 25 new players for over 30 days because its so new player unfriendly. THIS IS ONLY AMPLFIED BY THE OTHER CANDIDATES POSITION.

  2. I will reveal all of this in the interview but a short summary would be to revitalize wormhole space… Nullsec has had a number changeswithin the past 6 years…while wormholes have been stagant compared to the amount of content/playerbase/community involvment. I believe its time for change. If you are wondering about stgnation look no further than to who is in charge…and who i am running against.

Additionally, introducing randomized or temporary buffs to lower-class wormholes (e.g., C5 or C4 systems) could spread out activity and create more opportunities for smaller groups to compete with larger alliances. The goal would be to disrupt the static nature of the current C6 meta and incentivize more dynamic, emergent gameplay across wormhole space.
additionally a week or more to evict is wild

  1. The other Wh candidate has been in W space for years and held solid control (or bottle-necked new players) for the past 5 years…and what has happened? Wealth generation to the very top instead of epic PVP that SHOULd be happening with useless space pixels. instead you must ask yourself WHY they do not want change…

  2. Rlease WH data pertaining to isk faucets related to pvp. Flipping the table would at the end of the day force pvp and eventually people will purchase plex, increasing what they want at the end of the day while opening up new and profitable options are the reserved only for the bittervets.

@steven_mardis 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 on split at a time) happen?

O7 Steven mardis of (Make wormholes great again) fame,

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.
