So, I got wardecced by a corporation in High Sec (Zero Tolerance) that contains several ex-CODE. members. I don't know if they had realised that I am currently sitting in null / Provi.
So would I be arrogant in thinking that they don't want me running again?
I can't think of any reason why a high-sec CODE.-affiliated CORPS would wardec me. The CEO hasn't (as of this posting) answered my mail.
I'll keep you guys updated. I have already started working on my Campaign Opening post.

CSM
The Nosy Gamer has a very good point:
http://nosygamer.blogspot.de/2015/12/the-csm-no-place-to-go-but-up.html
I was planning to announce my CSM candidacy before now... but things keep happening. What with all the drama around the CSM and the bigger player groups... I have been forced to confront myself.
Do I really want to join a group like the CSM and sacrifice my precious "game time" for CSM things... as opposed to doing something to directly benefit myself? Time is, after all, limited.
Having watched the CSM self destruct (or be destroyed by CCP) this year... I find a part of me feeling that I should just concentrate on getting what I can out of this game before it gets closed by some unfeeling multinational (well.... WB will probably buy it at some point).
But EVE has captured my imagination like no other game before it, or after it. I have ideas that I believe would be a real improvement... and if I had a communication-channel to the game designers, I really believe I could make a good case for them. So what is a Space-Gal to do?
Anyway, the CSM cannot carry on as it has been... and having players / accounts "vote" for a "focus group" is not ideal. ATM I am thinking that there would be more "useful" input for CCP if they chose their own "focus groups"... and collected input from different groups of players without subjecting themselves to the meta-game from players. There should, definitely, be a line drawn between Players and CCP employees anyway.
So... compared to last year, when I was sure I wanted to join the CSM and represent HiSec... I am now really thinking hard about it. And on the fence. Here are two things that I would carry over from my last campaign:
-> 50% survival chance for gankees: this can be achieved by changing the CONCORD regulation, and improving the NPE to teach ppl how to fit their ships.
-> Player groups that are not involved in game mechanics.... The ability to make a group identity that cannot be wardecced (and cannot benefit from Tax Reductions etc) would be a great thing. I know that I can just make an in-game channel.......... but the ability to create a group identity, with logo and everything.... well that would be great! (and great for microtransactions..... I would spend AURUM and stuff on that....)

Blink and you will miss it!
So many things happening! So little time...
Making it hard to create a CSM Campaign thread that is not outdated before I can post it! I guess I should be happy that so much is happening!

RvB Shutting down activity.
In an attempt to try and experience PvP I had an alt for a couple of months in Blue. I took part in one fleet battle, and lost a couple of destroyers and frigates flying around Poinen.
Unfortunately, being a High Sec Carebear, the PvP life was not for me, so my alt left and went on to other things.
I still feel a pang of sadness for the death of organised High Sec PvP antics. When I was in the organisation there was lots of activities and themed weekends and stuff like that being organised! I hope that something springs up to fill the void that they are going to be leaving behind!

My Name is Lorelei....
My Name is Lorelei... and I am an Altoholic.
I just now sat back and thought about how much has changed this last year.
I have exactly 6 alts capable of flying freighters through High Sec plus 2 Alts that can also fly with Jump Freighters... and 3 Alts that are just for Cynos.
I have 3 Alts with Orcas and Mining boosts... 2 Alts that have specialised in Trading Skills... 2 Alts that are Refinery... and 2 Alts that are Industry. And I have 1 Titan Pilot (I'm going to try selling him when he is finished).
I spend more time than I am actually comfortable with making sure that I have enough PLEX to keep training! Summer was hard... but my miners don't really need any more skills... and neither do the traders.
I am sitting on about 42 Billion in assets spread throughout the galaxy that I could liquefy... 8 Billion ISK that I can mobilise right now... and the rest is stuck in Sell Orders and Buy Orders. My total worth has just reached 75 Billion... which is actually why I am posting. Today I became worth 75 Billion. W00t!
Of course, if I were concentrating, I could be doing better... but sometimes I just like to log in and fly cargo between Dodixie and Jita. :-)

High Sec moves slowly towards the spotlight!
Last year I started running for the CSM relatively early. Part of My Campaign was about the awful New Player Experience. Somewhere in the middle of My Campaign, CCP announced the new "Achievement" system. The fact that the NPE was changed right out from under me... well it made the rest of the time interesting and took away about 25% of the things that I wanted to rant and rave about!
Now new players get to start with more SP... I dodged a bullet there by waiting on this years CSM campaign.
CSM Sugar Kyle has been hosting discussions about High Sec. I am reading them with interest!

What I have to say about things is going to have to wait for a later post... I'm also too busy reading stuff at the moment!

CSM Campaign Season - Earlier Than Ever!
A couple of bloggers drew my attention to the fact that the campaign season for CSM XI is starting on the Eve Online forums. Already.
Last year I started my CSM X Campaign on 20th November. I was one of the first ones to post, and I did it after a lot of thought, and checking out how much time I would (theoretically) have available in the coming year. I was actually quite hesitant to post so soon because I was worried that I might burn out on the campaign before the real heavy election season started. Of course, I was also worried that when given enough time, I would manage to completely put my foot in my mouth and ruin everything.
In the end, I decided to make an early start, because no one knew me in game. I felt I would need that time to make an impression, so that people would know who I am and what I was standing for.
End of September / Beginning of October is for me, much too early! I am planning to run on a high sec platform again, but before I officially commit on the forums, I have to be sure (inasmuch as that can be forseen) that I have enough time to do the job.
