Procastination is my speciality...<br />
<br />
So... there are actually several things I would want to blog about. Things coming out of the CSM elections... the adventures with Solstice Project (see my last CSM campaign thread)… things coming out of my time in EVE... and other things as well.<br />
<br />
After the last CSM elections were over, I went out for a spin through Null again. Blowing off steam whilst risking my neck more than in High Sec.<br />
<br />
I heard that a high-sec-based alliance had gotten "Sov" in null, so I went to check it out. It was, of course, uneventful... 40+ jumps for nothing. I did, however, get blapped on the way back...<br />

<br />
I have done interviews for Talking in Stations and New Eden Podcast.<br />
<br />
Hopefully they will be up before the voting starts. I will post links when I have them.<br />

<br />
Hello! It's me! Shadwell.....<br />
<br />
Well... not really.<br />
<br />
My name is Lorelei and I am announcing my candidacy for CSM XIV. I have just submitted my application to CCP. I am running whilst focused on High Sec. I am a self-confessed High Sec Carebear and am proud of it. I have – as I do every year - analysed the commitments planned/coming up in my life for the next year and have decided that I can afford the time to run for CSM XIV!<br />
<br />
I really haven’t changed, neither has what I am thinking, (and therefore neither has my opening campaign post, really) and I am looking forward to discussing with you all!<br />
<br />
I waited a while and really thought hard and talked to people before running again... Having seen that @Mike_Azariah is returning to the fray, it seems like it might be counter-productive to split the carebear vote between two of the more popular candidates. If you do end up voting for me, make sure to put Mike on your list too.<br />
<br />
My (soon to be reanimated) blog contains links to previous campaign threads, interviews, posts about me and so on. If you are interested to know more it is worth a look. The copy of this Campaign Post also has more linkage, to articles that explain and expound on the things I am saying and/or thinking:<br />
Here: <a href="http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/">http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de</a><br />
<br />
Just to recap my CSM history:<br />
For CSMX I came in 15th for the 14 seats. Because of the way the Voting was calculated, with transfers and so on, I did not get called to replace the people that left or were removed. In another election I managed to come in before an incumbent member running again, whilst still not getting elected. In the elections for CSM13 I came in 14th... which would have gotten me a seat if CCP had not reduced the membership for CSM to 10 beforehand... such is my luck.<br />
My last campaign thread: <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/t/high-sec-candidate/63973">https://forums.eveonline.com/t/high-sec-candidate/63973</a><br />
<br />
I have been excited about many of the developments that EVE has taken in the recent past. Even though noone with a real "High Sec" Ticket has made it onto the CSM in a while... many of the issues that we have been discussing have been worked on and taken up by CCP... even if I am not totally happy with how they did it / are doing it... at least they are doing it!!! And that is reason enough to keep on running in the CSM elections... to give the High Sec population a chance to show their interest and support for some issues.<br />
<br />
But to recap for people that do not want to jump to other web sites:<br />
Is there room for a High Sec candidate on the CSM? Someone that has the well-being of the multitude of High Sec pilots at heart?<br />
I would like there to be a “High Sec” platform, for a candidate for the CSM.<br />
The problem with High Sec space is that the players there are all independent. There is no feeling of “we”. This lack of “we” is a problem. The lack of “we all stand together” is a problem. The “apathy of the carebear” is a problem…<br />
<br />
This I know. I know that, although numerically High Sec has the largest number of log-ins… accounts… players… I know that High Sec will probably never be able to gather together enough in order to support a CSM candidate. But that is no reason to not try!!<br />
Come on, High Sec! If something is important for you, stand up for it!!!<br />
<br />
Who am I?<br />
I am a High Sec Carebear, and proud of it!<br />
High Sec Carebears tend not to socialize too much, and are only members of NPC or small corporations. If you are reading this thread, then sadly you probably do not belong to the player-metric that I mostly represent!<br />
<br />
Well, this is not the first character I have created in order to play “EVE”. I have never been a member of a big alliance or coalition. I have never been a member of a big corporation. I wouldn’t know what one would do to “define” a big corporation. Hell, I have never really left High Sec space before the CSMX Election…<br />
<br />
I gained my love of Spaceship games by playing Elite… way back on my ZX Spectrum 48k+ (with a jammed SHIFT key (jammed as in… raspberry jam)). Back then it was possible to try docking with a space station and to accidentally line up with the back of the station… and die whilst trying to fly through the back of the station to the entrance. Fun times.<br />
<br />
I graduated to Frontier: Elite II on a 486 PC, and spent my time happily flying between Barnard’s Star, SOL, and Wolf 359. I should have been studying, but flying a (mostly harmless) panther fully loaded with robots was more fun.<br />
<br />
I kept my eyes open for an online version of a space-sim… and that is where EVE comes in.<br />
I really enjoy (as in “really”) flying transports, fulfilling contracts, and, sometimes, mining.<br />
<br />
My CSM Interests for 2019:<br />
I think it is important for people to know what the CSM is, and can achieve. I could not run claiming that I would make all spaceships pink. As a member of the CSM I would not be in a position to dictate to CCP or enforce any “election promises”. The scandals of the past have meant that the Player Base has lost some trust in this institution.<br />
But well, check out all my old threads for more about what/how I think… but here is what is mostly on my mind at the moment:<br />
<br />
None Of The Above: An opportunity for people to vote in the CSM, but to vote for None Of The Above. It’s like a survey to try and gauge player interest.. The problem of player participation is disproportionately affecting those of us in high sec (because we carebears are not exactly non-solo)<br />
In order to increase the possibility of player participation, maybe CCP could get some more Popups/Emails rolling. Reminding players to vote is not a bad thing, and I remember thinking when all those “Agency” popups/notifications started flowing… that CCP could also do something good for the elections (if they were interested in the CSM).<br />
<br />
Ganker: I would like at least a 50% chance of walking away from a gank. At the moment this is not the case. On my blog, in the past, I mentioned some changes to Concord that I would like to see. I would also like to see some changes to Ice Spawning (maybe in random systems?) that would mean that the gankers would have to move around to gank ice miners! Local chat could also be changed to provide less free “intel” to people. No need to announce to everyone who is in local… just the number of pilots.<br />
I would like to clarify, I am not in favour of stopping ganking completely. I am not in favour of just AFK mining the whole day. EVE is what it is, and the game developers have been quite clear over the years where they stand on this issue.<br />
Please read my last threads before posting questions… we really do not need to cover the points that have been discussed before… high sec is worth fighting for!<br />
<br />
New Player Experience: That has been a WOW change in the last years. I have managed to try it. It is about a bazillion times better than the old way. It does however need observing, and I am looking forward, as always, to the statistics from Fanfest!<br />
On the subject of Fanfest, I missed the (missing) Team Security presentation last year. That was, for me, one of the highlights!<br />
<br />
Player Corporations: In previous years in the campaigns, some other candidates also took up this banner... that I only started with in the run up to CSMX. Inventing some way to let people socially interact without having to deal with a bunch of tedious stuff can only help player retention – especially in an area (High Sec) where people are otherwise isolated. Now it is possible to be in a player corporation, have all the social benefits, without being wardecced or something. Of course, that raises issues with things like Taxes (The NPC corporations have a higher tax on players to previously be immune to war decs...). And of course... that leads to discussions on war decs.<br />
<br />
War Declarations: This is a work in progress for CCP, and I must say, that I am glad they finally got around to it. Since they started the changes I have been involved in war in high sec (both on the receiving and the giving end). Although I find it more interesting than before, it still needs a lot of work. This is also tied up with things like the Citadel invulnerability mechanics. <br />
See my (soon to be updated) blog and previous posts in Campaign threads for details. The need for player groups that are just social has not changed.<br />
<br />
But when all is said and done, I believe a CSM member needs to be a conduit for information exchange between CCP and the players. I do not think that the CSM should be used for the Metagame.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this far. I am looking forward to working with you / hearing from you, and although I am always busy at this time of year, I promise to read every post in my thread.<br />

<br />
The minutes of the last CSM Summit are out, and contained some interesting stuff for high sec.<br />
<br />
The thing that most caught my interest was the definitive news of the affect that War Decs have on corporations. I hope that this means that the mechanics are finally going to get a much needed overhaul! It was good to see that such ideas as "player corporations as social groups that are excluded from war decs" (and probably some benefits as well) has been fielded. That was one of the positions that almost got me onto CSM X.<br />
<br />
I shall be watching these developments with great interest!Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-8862161405829390112018-09-24T22:15:00.000+00:002018-09-24T22:16:12.010+00:00You don't have to vote for me if you would rather spend time whining!! ---------------------------------------------------------------<br />

Mostly for personal reference.<br />
<br />
I play computer games. On my computer I have a bunch of old games, games I never play... also games I cant play (because I did not read the min. specs before I bought/downloaded), but want to play somewhen... when I get around to upgrading some components...<br />
<br />
If you haven't played or read about SWTOR in the last year or two, then there might be spoilers ahead....<br />
<br />
I can remember the moment I lost all interest in SW-TOR. <br />
I can remember the very second. It is burned into my mind.<br />
<br />
It was when that cut scene played, where the Sith and the Jedi were working together to build the secret base.<br />

<br />
I got this mail on all my accounts, alpha and omega.<br />
<br />
The fact that CCP sends these mails out is proof that they believe that the message reaches people.<br />
<br />
Yet there was no mail reminding about the CSM elections.... <br />
<br />

I got into the final 14, which is my best result ever.... in the old days that would have been enough to have gotten me into the CSM! So thank you!<br />
I got 694 votes, which I think is my worst result ever... which is probably a reflection of the people that didn't vote.<br />
I did notice that my cross platform support (which haunted me for CSM 10... Tikktokk beware) was better than ever... so slowly my message seems to be spreading.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to other people's analysis of the voting... as being directly involved I cannot help but feel biased. I will anyway look at the numbers later in more detail! <br />
<br />

Unfortunately there is no option yet to vote for "none of the candidates", although I at least would find it an interesting statistic.<br />
<br />
Let's get this done!Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-68977851937487163822018-05-08T22:26:00.000+00:002018-05-08T22:26:06.652+00:00CSM 13 Elections in JuneCCP published a DEV BLOG about the CSM Elections.<br />
About time!<br />
<br />
So the voting is in the first week of June, set your calendars.<br />
<br />
Remember it is important to vote, whoever you are voting for. Even if you have accepted that nothing can save or help the candidate of your choice. Your vote helps keep up the relevance of a conduit between players and developers. It shows the interest of the player base. If you don't vote, then you don't need to complain about the direction the game is taking, the microtransactions, the cash grabs and the stale PVE content.Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-63059997699570736212018-03-19T20:50:00.000+00:002018-03-19T20:57:07.399+00:00CSM XIII Campaign ThreadJust fallen afoul of my own laziness... newer forum users can only submit two links per post.<br />

High Sec candidate on the CSM? Someone that has the well-being of the multitude
of High Sec pilots at heart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I would like there to
be a "High Sec" platform, for a candidate for the CSM. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">The problem with High
Sec space is that the players there are all independent. There is no feeling of
"we". This lack of "we" is a problem. The lack of "we
all stand together" is a problem. The "apathy of the carebear"
is a problem...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">This I know. I know
that, although numerically High Sec has the largest number of log-ins...
accounts... players... I know that High Sec will probably never be able to
gather together enough in order to support a CSM candidate. But that is no
reason to not try!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">Come on, High Sec! If
something is important for you, stand up for it!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

tend not to socialize too much, and are only members of NPC or small

belong to the player-metric that I mostly represent!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, this is not the
first character I have created in order to play "EVE". I have never
been a member of a big alliance or coalition. I have never been a member of a
big corporation. I wouldn’t know what one would do to “define” a big
corporation. Hell, I have never really left High Sec space before the CSMX
Election..<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I gained my love of
Spaceship games by playing Elite... way back on my ZX Spectrum 48k+ (with a
jammed SHIFT key (jammed as in... raspberry jam)). Back then it was possible to
try docking with a space station and to accidentally line up with the back of
the station... and die whilst trying to fly through the back of the station to
the entrance. Fun times.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I graduated to
Frontier: Elite II on a 486 PC, and spent my time happily flying between
Barnard's Star, SOL, and Wolf 359. I should have been studying, but flying a
(mostly harmless) panther fully loaded with robots was more fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I kept my eyes open

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I really enjoy (as in

mining.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for 2018:**<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I think it is
important for people to know what the CSM is, and can achieve. I could not run
claiming that I would make all spaceships pink. As a member of the CSM I would
not be in a position to dictate to CCP or enforce any "election
promises". The scandals of the past have meant that the Player Base has
lost some trust in this institution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">But well, check out
all my old threads for more about what/how I think… but here is what is mostly
on my mind at the moment:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">**None Of The
Above**: An opportunity for people to vote in the CSM, but to vote for None Of
The Above. It’s like a survey to try and gauge player interest. The problem of
player participation is disproportionately affecting those of us in high sec
(because we carebears are not exactly non-solo)

the possibility of player participation, maybe CCP could get some more Popups
rolling. Reminding players to vote is not a bad thing, and I remember thinking
when all those “Agency” popups/notifications started flowing… that CCP could also
do something good for the elections (if they were interested in the CSM).<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">**Ganker**: I would
like at least a 50% chance of walking away from a gank. At the moment this is
not the case. On my blog, in the past, I mentioned some changes to Concord that
I would like to see <a href="http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2015/08/concord.html">http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2015/08/concord.html</a>. I
would also like to see some changes to Ice Spawning (maybe in random systems?)
that would mean that the gankers would have to move around to gank ice miners!
Local chat could also be changed to provide less free "intel" to
people. No need to announce to everyone who is in local... just the number of
pilots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">I would like to
clarify, I am not in favour of stopping ganking completely. I am not in favour
of just AFK mining the whole day. EVE is what it is, and the game developers
have been quite clear over the years where they stand on this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Experience**: That was a WOW change in the last years. I have managed to try
it. It is about a bazillion times better than the old way. It does however need
observing, and I am looking forward, as always, to the statistics from Fanfest!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">On the subject of
Fanfest, I missed the (missing) Team Security presentation last year. That was,
for me, one of the highlights! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">**Player
Corporations**:
<a href="http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2015/08/player-corporations.html">http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2015/08/player-corporations.html</a> <br />Last year in
the campaigns, some other candidates also took up this banner. Inventing some
way to let people socially interact without having to deal with a bunch of
tedious stuff can only help player retention – especially in an area (High Sec)
where people are otherwise isolated. See my blog and previous posts in Campaign
threads for details. The need for player groups that are just social has not
changed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">But when all is said
and done, I believe a CSM member needs to be a conduit for information exchange
between CCP and the players. I do not think that the CSM should be used for the

<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
I am not yet sure how to deal with what I perceive as "date confusion" on this announcement, but I am sure that it will be cleaned up in time to be relevant.<br />
<br />
I have submitted my candidacy for the last 3 elections... and I will be doing the same again this year, you can be sure.<br />
<br />
I shall be saying and doing pretty much the same things as the last three elections. And I shall be opening a campaign thread in the forums in the time frame suggested... no need to waste potential voters time by sounding off before I even know that I really can get an application submitted!<br />
<br />
My previous campaigns are represented on this blog, if you look back at the old posts. There are not that many old posts. I shall do a blog post about me nearer the time.<br />
<br />
But for the people that are watching for it... I am still in it.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn3Wq7nvtJ1zqdBm8CI8_-HUgWbachPhksDoV7SrqFQ8St8qFSDn-vqktzfz1c9PYwER0QN1XjoZjgRNeIMjbml8nPa1LLiOarVMvPa2ciQSoc57xjyMyUSfau8xyWkKZ2ZPki7iXYfq4/s1600/Podded_Again.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn3Wq7nvtJ1zqdBm8CI8_-HUgWbachPhksDoV7SrqFQ8St8qFSDn-vqktzfz1c9PYwER0QN1XjoZjgRNeIMjbml8nPa1LLiOarVMvPa2ciQSoc57xjyMyUSfau8xyWkKZ2ZPki7iXYfq4/s640/Podded_Again.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I went to nullsec again. <br />
<br />
I don't mean Providence, which is now such a regular occurrence that it does not warrant a blogging. No I went to other parts of null, where people are not so friendly.<br />
<br />
Having woken up to the news that CSM member Aryth arranged to buy a Keepstar from CSM member TheJudge and that goons were Hellcamping a Keepstar, I decided to pack my bags and go for a look. I have not yet watched a goon Hellcamp, nor seen a Keepstar.<br />
<br />
I climbed in a new Interceptor, bought and fitted especially for the attempt to get there. 41 Jumps, mostly through null. On the way to 68FT I encountered a couple of warp bubbles, a smartbombing Machariel sitting at a gate, and a whole lot of silence.<br />
<br />
I did make it there, to the System. I did have a bit of trouble locating the Keepstar that was being being Hellcamped. Fortunately someone posted a Contract in local, and I could warp to the Keepstar from there. I warped in at 100km. At last!<br />
<br />Unfortunately I got blown up before I could get a screenshot of the Hellcamp and the Citadel...<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jay Amazingness - I have heard of him.</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
That was frustrating. <br />
So I climbed in my trusty Anathema and went back again, this time taking a route avoiding HED-GP, just to be different. Not being immune to warp bubbles, the 40-something jumps were a lot more tense. <br />
<br />
I made it again! This time I warped in to the Keepstar at 200km, already cloaked. That felt much safer, even though I landed right between some bubbles. I could, however, get out there and make my screenshots!<br />

I got so carried away playing with camera angles, once I figured out the CTRL-F9 trick to get rid of the UI, that I forgot I was moving. Then I decloaked, and got to take the Pod-Taxi home.<br />

To read more about the events leading up to this, I used Wilhelm Arcturus's blog: <a href="https://tagn.wordpress.com/2017/09/12/the-imperium-buys-a-keepstar/">https://tagn.wordpress.com/2017/09/12/the-imperium-buys-a-keepstar/</a><br />He has a list of links about sources.Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-91044649565894784862017-05-26T18:12:00.002+00:002017-05-26T18:12:58.173+00:00CSM XII VotingWell pardon me for missing the release of the Voting statistics etc. Especially after CCP went to such great lengths to make sure we noticed it.<br /><br /><a href="https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/a-closer-look-at-the-csm-12-results/">https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/a-closer-look-at-the-csm-12-results/</a><br /><br />I found it, however, and whilst I found it I managed to get careless[er].. check out zkillboard!<br />

Waiting before I get all teary eyed about other voting methods that might have gotten me more votes...<br />
Waiting...<br />
<br />
Whilst waiting my corporation has been busy mining, and sometimes losing ships. Not all members are registered with zkillboard... but I am!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://zkillboard.com/character/94644678/">https://zkillboard.com/character/94644678/</a><br />
<br />
I got hotdropped by a Sansha's Dreadnaught whilst ratting in an asteroid belt in Provi. Crazy!<br />
<br />
So I will keep on waiting and think about other ships I could use. Maybe also talk one of my corps into training into a sensible logi...<br />

I'll post about them later... looking forward to seeing the voting information.<br /><br />Time to take a breather... watch the Fanfest twitch (sadly no Security presentation) and go and relax in Provi null to get some distance from the issues that bug me. Maybe I will go on a trip around null again, like last year (<a href="http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2016/04/nullsec-holiday.html">http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/2016/04/nullsec-holiday.html</a>).<br />
<br />
So I went back to my base at DNR-7M. I discovered a bunch of null-ore in the corporation hanger (my Corpsmate was busy whilst I was doing high sec things) and proceeded to move it back to high sec for refining and selling.<br />
<br />
Whilst flying back and forth I almost got caught in an interdiction bubble. Fortunately I remembered how to escape them without being made to decloak...<br />

And in my experience, high sec does not normally deliever random helpfulness like that. My Carebear cousins have a lot to learn.<br />

Then I got in touch with my null-mining friend and we decided to mine.<br />

<br />
So this is what my recommended voting list looks like (taken from my CSM forum thread). - in case any of my supporters are unsure what to do with their votes. I will happily answer any questions people have about it.<br />
<br />
<u>List</u><br />
Lorelei Ierendi<br />
commander aze<br />
Toxic Yaken<br />
Roedyn<br />
Steve Ronuken<br />
rhiload Feron-drake<br />
Ariel Rin<br />
Juvenius Drakonius<br />
Erika Mizune<br />
DJ Thomas<br />
<br /><u>Alternates:</u><br />Xenuria<br />
JTClone Ares<br />
<br />
The alternates are there in case there is anyone that cannot stomach one or other of the candidates. I have already received questions about this list, and I will answer them here after the elections.<br />
<br />
CCP have done more for the elections this year, notifications and so on. Looking forward to see if that has had any influence on the turnout.<br />
<br />
Happy Voting!Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-2072405642324066322017-03-06T15:29:00.000+00:002017-03-06T15:31:32.619+00:00Just Vote!So the eve of the elections is upon us.<br />
<br />
I would like to take this time to encourage everyone to vote, for whoever they want (or whoever their block tells them).<br />
<br />
It would be nice, now that we have all forgotten the drama of CSMX if the percentage of participants in the voting could start climbing, so that the "playerbase representation" of the CSM could become fact instead of fiction.<br />
<br />
I am afraid CCP has a long way to go in getting the numbers working for high sec... and from what I have observed in the last three years the interest in the CSM is dwindling...<br />
<br />
"No and I'm also not going to look for one as I'm not going to vote." - A fairly typical response from one of my ex-Supporters on the subject of "a solution to the low turnout in High Sec Voters..."<br />
<br />
I think it would be nice if CCP could bombard us with popups or notifications (like that cluster shutdown thing for downtime) - for example at login - so that everyone that logs into EVE is at least aware that the CSM exists.<br />
<br />
Still I am looking forward to seeing what happens.Lorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286362717688739621.post-6022836641808324732017-03-04T22:42:00.002+00:002017-03-04T22:44:28.131+00:00Bumping is SillyEvery time I try running for the CSM representing High Sec, Bumping comes up.<br />
<br />
On the EVE Forums (Crime and Punishment) there have been multi-page threads on the subject of bumping.<br />
<br />

<br />
both of which are locked, and the latter of which starts off with words to the effect of:<br />
<br />
<strong>This forum post old and does not represent CCP´s current stance on the issue.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
But bumping still exists and is still causing the deaths of carebears everywhere...<br />
<br />
<br />
I find bumping to be silly. Ships flying into one another and taking no damage? Battleships pushing freighters up to more than 500 m/s and playing with them like pingpong balls? It kind of breaks my immersion when flying around. Whatever CCPs opinions on bumping, things have not significantly changed (although it is an exploit to bump a titan out of a POS now - but then not enough organised null sec people care about what happens to freighters in high sec.....).<br />
<br />
I would propose bumping causing damage to ships dependent on speed and mass.<br />
<br />
I know this has been bought up before. I know people talk about the chaos on the Jita undock if bumping into another ship causes damage... one could never undock there in a rookie ship. I would propose there being a 20KM zone around stations, citadels and stargates where damage does not apply...<br />
<br />
Depending on how easy this is to code, I am sure it would greatly improve my EVE experience!<br />
<br />
I am a pragmatist/realist. Yes I know that organised pirates will simply fit repair modules on their Machs and/or bring an alt/friend with logi... and freighters will be bumped as before. Yes I know that carebears will not get more organised to bring alts/friends with logi... or to have groups patrolling the pipes to help out. Yes I am sure that some freighters might get bumped to death... I am also sure that having a Pirate logi as potential target for White Knights opens up at least one more interesting and emerging interaction in space.<br />
<br />
I don't imagine that anything significant about bumping will change. Not before we can walk and talk to one another in space stations.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">CCP Seagull ecourages you to get involved in CSM12 and put your name forward to be a Space-Politician. On his blog ( </span></em><a href="http://nevillesmit.com/blog/2017/2/13/i-like-tweakage"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://nevillesmit.com/blog/2017/2/13/i-like-tweakage</span></em></a><em><span style="font-size: x-small;"> ) Neville Smit noted that CSM11 had done a good job with minimum of drama. However he said he’d not be covering CSM12 like he has in previous years as he sees no point. The power-blocs will vote on who they want and unless Steve Ronuken manages to get on CSM12 it is almost certainly going to have every seat taken by the big null-sec blocs. Is Neville right? Is the CSM moving more and more into just a voice for 0.0? Is this a bad thing? Are the hi-sec, low-sec and WH players going to lose out badly or is it really not an issue as its the same game? Could a totally null-sec dominated CSM 12 give a balanced voice for everyone?</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Hello, my name is Lorelei and I am candidating for the third year running for the CSM as a high-sec carebear.</u></strong></span> </div>
<br />
That is why I am not going to get elected. I honestly also got fed up with talking to people that thought the CSM would be able to dictate policy to CCP... seems that a lot of people have the wrong impression of what goes on.<br />
<br />
The CSM is being reduced to 10 seats from 14. My best ever performance I was able to get position 15 in the CSM 10 elections. With 13 of the 14 seats on CSM 11 going to the null sec blocks I think that it is safe to say that the null sec blocks will be deciding who is on the CSM again, maybe they will throw Steve a seat because of his excellent track record. Of course that is no reason not to announce a candidacy... show CCP that High Sec / Low Sec / Wormhole people are still at least interested....... except that they are really not.<br />
<br />
I still think that having a mixture of backgrounds and playstyles in the CSM would be a productive opportunity for CCP to get feedback on the issues surrounding the game, but then maybe the Council of Null Sec Management was the reason for the lack of drama this last year? Anyway CCP can always form focus groups for whatever they want to be looked at. Is the CSM even really relevant any more?<br />
<br />
In my opinion the drama surrounding CSM X put the final nail in the coffin of the CSM. Whilst firing up for CSM XI I contacted the people / groups that supported me for CSM X, and without exception the people I spoke to said words to the effect of "CSM... meh... why bother". CSM XI did a stand up job, and kept whatever drama there was well under wraps. Maybe a couple more such councils and the public opinion of the CSM might start being restored. <br />
<br />
So once again to answer the questions above with my opinions:<br />
1) Neville is right.<br />2) The more null sec players the more the CSM represents the experiences of null sec. (or do the null sec players mine a lot in high sec?)<br />3) I think CCP is losing out on a broader spectrum of opinion and experience. Do the Devs have up to date experience of life in High Sec?<br />4) No, a totally null sec dominated CSM could not give a balanced voice for everyone.<br />

This year I was there. <br />Unfortunately RL concerns stopped me from being online too much, but I jumped on over, hopped into one of my trusty covert ECM ships, and undocked to see what was going on.<br />

Seeing a huge blob of red flashing coercers swarming around a freighter was quite something... and those fleets of CONCORD and Faction Police. Of course this made a very different impression from those Uedama gank-fleets... but CODE. were also there to whore off Goon kills. <br />
<br />
Because of aforementioned RL concerns, I did not even try to join any organised activities or fleets, but I did manage to get some gankers on my zkillboard. Check it out! <a href="https://zkillboard.com/character/94644678/">https://zkillboard.com/character/94644678/</a><br />
<br />
I was present in the right system in the middle of the blob at the right time for two very (for me) interesting events: <br />
<br />
One of the ganked freighters was carrying a Fortizar... more than 18 Billion ISK killmail IIRC. When the gankers tried to loot it (I think in a Jump Freighter) and went hostile, the looter got killed... one strike for the good guys (I am sure that you will be able to read about it elsewhere... if I find any links I shall post them).<br />
<br />
A freighter was saved from a ganker blob. Repairing and boosting the freighter whilst the gankers were shooting, the good guys managed to keep the freighter alive long enough for CONCORD and the Caldari Police to do their jobs. This is the first time I was able to witness at first hand a Freighter being directly saved from a gank. The fact that another ganker fleet finished the job five minutes later takes nothing away from the achievements of the good guys! Hats off to them!<br />
<br />
Over the course of the weekend I did manage to get some loot out of the wrecks that were produced by CONCORD. At the end the tally was just under 100 Million ISK, which was a nice bonus.<br />

<br />
Hello!<br /><br />My name is Lorelei and I am announcing my candidacy for CSM XII. I am running whilst focussed on High Sec. I am a self-confessed High Sec Carebear and am proud of it. I have analysed the commitments planned/coming up in my life for the next year and have decided that I can afford the time to run for CSM XII!<br /><br />I really haven't changed, neither has what I am thinking, (and therefore neither has my opening campaign post, really) and I am looking forward to discussing with you all!<br /><br />This is my Campaign Thread from last year:<br /><br /><a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=464501&find=unread" rel="nofollow" title="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=464501&find=unread
">https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=464501&find=unread </a><br /><br />This is my Campaign Thread from the year before:<br /><br /><a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=386664" rel="nofollow" title="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=386664 ">https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=386664 </a><br /><br /><br />This is my CapStable Podcast Interview from 2015: <br /><br /><a class="warn" href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=warning&l=http%3a%2f%2fcapstable.net%2fblog%2f2015%2f01%2f26%2florelei-ierendi%2f&domain=capstable.net" rel="nofollow" title="http://capstable.net/blog/2015/01/26/lorelei-ierendi/ ">http://capstable.net/blog/2015/01/26/lorelei-ierendi/ </a><br /><br />And this is my infrequently used blog:<br /><br /><a class="warn" href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=warning&l=http%3a%2f%2fhisec-carebear.blogspot.de%2f&domain=blogspot.de" rel="nofollow" title="http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/ ">http://hisec-carebear.blogspot.de/ </a><br /><br />But to recap for people that do not want to jump to other web sites:<br /><br />Is there room for a High Sec candidate on the CSM? Someone that has the well-being of the multitude of High Sec pilots at heart?<br /> I would like there to be a "High Sec" platform, for a candidate for the CSM. If no one else can step up to the plate, then I will. If someone else wants to run for CSM for the benefit of High Sec gameplay, then I am happy to step down and support them... if they can do a better job.<br /><br /> The problem with High Sec space is that the players there are all independent. There is no feeling of "we". This lack of "we" is a problem. The lack of "we all stand together" is a problem. The "apathy of the carebear" is a problem...<br /><br /> This I know. I know that, although numerically High Sec has the largest number of log-ins... accounts... players... I know that High Sec will probably never be able to gather together enough in order to support a CSM candidate. But that is no reason to not try!!<br /> Come on, High Sec! If something is important for you, stand up for it!!!<br /><br /><u><b>Who am I?</b></u><br /><br />I am a High Sec Carebear, and proud of it!<br />High Sec Carebears tend not to socialize too much, and are only members of NPC or small corporations. If you are reading this thread, then sadly you probably do not belong to the player-metric that I mostly represent!<br /><br />Well, this is not the first character I have created in order to play "EVE". I have never been a member of a big alliance or coalition. I have never been a member of a big corporation. Hell, I have never left High Sec space before the CSMX Election..<br /><br /> I gained my love of Spaceship games by playing Elite... way back on my ZX Spectrum 48k+ (with a jammed SHIFT key (jammed as in... raspberry jam)). Back then it was possible to try docking with a space station and to accidentally line up with the back of the station... and die whilst trying to fly through the back of the station to the entrance. Fun times.<br /><br /> I graduated to Frontier: Elite II on a 486 PC, and spent my time happily flying between Barnard's Star, SOL, and Wolf 359. I should have been studying, but flying a (mostly harmless) panther fully loaded with robots was more fun.<br /><br /> I kept my eyes open for an online version of a space-sim... and that is where EVE comes in.<br /> I really enjoy (as in "really") flying transports, fulfilling contracts, and, sometimes, mining.<br /><br />My CSM Interests for 2017:<u><b><br /></b></u>I think it is important for people to know what the CSM is, and can achieve. I could not run claiming that I would make all spaceships pink. As a member of the CSM I would not be in a position to dictate to CCP or enforce any "election promises". The scandals of the past have meant that the Player Base has lost some trust in this institution.<br /><br />But well:<br /><br /><u>None Of The Above:</u> Campaigning for an opportunity for people to vote for the CSM, but to vote for None Of The Above. The problem of player participation is disproportionately affecting those of us in high sec (because we carebears are not exactly non-solo).<br />In order to increase the possibility of player participation, maybe CCP could work up some Popups. Reminding players to vote is not a bad thing.<br /><br /><u>Ganker:</u> I would like at least a 50% chance of walking away from a gank. At the moment this is not the case. On my blog I mentioned changes to Concord that I would like to see. I would also like to see some changes to Ice Spawning (maybe in random systems?) that would mean that the gankers would have to move around to gank ice miners! Local chat could also be changed to provide less free "intel" to people. No need to announce to everyone who is in local... just the number of pilots.<br />Please read my last threads before posting questions... we really do not need to cover the points that have been discussed before... high sec is worth fighting for!<br /><br /><u>New Player Experience: </u>That was a WOW change in the last year. I managed to try it eventually. It is about a bazillion times better than the old way. It does however need observing, and I am looking forward to the statistics from Fanfest! <br /><br /><u>Player Corporations:</u> See my blog and previous posts in Campaign threads for details. The need for player groups that are just social has not changed. <br /><br />But when all is said and done, I believe a CSM member needs to be a conduit for information exchange between CCP and the players. I do not think that the CSM should be used for the Metagame.<br /><br />Thank you for reading this far. I am looking forward to working with you / hearing from you, and although I am always busy at this time of year, I promise to read every post in my threadLorelei Ierendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551678688685976800noreply@blogger.com0
