CSMX

Voting is happening now!

I've spent a lot of time reading what people think, listening to interviews and making up my mind. Here is my list and why.

1. Sabriz Adoudel. I know CODE. isn't popular but I do feel someone to look out for the highsec content creators is a good thing and he stands no chance without being in peoples #1 spot so money where your mouth is time. I find a lot of highsec content creators end up going too far in the wrong direction but from Sabriz's capstable interview I got the impression that he ants interesting game play for everyone. That was what clinched it for me in making him #1.

2. Sugar Kyle. At this point I don't think her credentials need defending. She's done n amazing job. Everyone knows it. She was going to be my #1 but when I thought bout it, having Sabriz on my ballot but not #1 made no sense as He doesn't stand a good chance of getting in and that means Sugar being my #2 is almost as good as a #1.

3. Ashterothi. This was a tough call. I was going to put Corbexx here but Ash has recently played in FW space where I live and hunt a lot and has moved into wormholes where I daytrip a lot. On top of that the EVE lore is amazing and having someone champion that is too good an opportunity to miss out on.

4. Corbexx. I love Wormholes and daytrip quite often. He's a proven track record of doing good by them and works well with Sugar. He needs to be on my ballot and so here he is.

5. Jayne Fillon. I've only just started getting into NPSI so I couldn't make it the focus of my ballot but I am getting involved and it seems like a great thing that could do with someone championing it's cause. On paper at least Jayne is clearly the man for the job.

6. June Ting. If I enjoyed Nullsec and blocks etc I'd have June higher. I was really impressed by her interview. I love newbros and someone to look out for them is good. Compared to the other NPE candidates I thought she was the best.

7. Steve Ronuken. I enjoy some industry on the side and 3rd party tools are cool. He just isn't someone I can get excited about so he isn't higher on my list. He deserves to get on though as he is basically the only person doing this with any competency.

8. Mike Azeriah. I like Mike, he makes a good foil to Sabriz I think. However he's been on for a while and he comes from the wrong side of the fence for my play style. I guess I worry about what he has left to contribute but like his contributions so far.

9. Psianh Auvyander. I love Mercs, I wish it was a more fun profession in EVE. I hope Psianh gets on and can influence some good Merc friendly changes. It's agin something I enjoy in EVE but isn't my game play and so I can't justify a representative higher on my list.

10. Cagali Cagali. I like Cagali for the same reasons I like June. I just wasn't as impressed by his campaign so as a runner up newbro candidate he gets on by at the bottom of the list.

11. Bam Stroker. I enjoyed a lot f wht BAm had to say about community and out of game aspects of EVE. I don't attend meets though and I don't think he offers much for what I want from a candidate. I care too much about the spaceships in space shooting each other part of the game.

12. Manfred Sideous. I guess I need someone with good ideas about Sov-null to make sure it all works out and Manfred impressed me the most. I just struggle to care about nullsec.

13. Gorski Car. I don't now what to make of Gorski. Something about him makes me wary of him even though he stands for a lot of the game play that I really enjoy and what knowledgeable people on the CSM representing.

14. I had an empty slot so put on Chance Ravine because CSM match said he was a good match for me and teh capstable guys were pretty positive about him. It this point my vote isn't really going to end up being spent on him but hey it's gotta mean something right?

ION: I quit FW, formed my own 1 man corp, have been pirating, daytripping into wormholes, establish industry chains, station trading, flying in NPSI fleets, donating ships as prizes for NPSI fleets and generally having a great time. Only thing that isn't so great is that my corp infiltration has stalled.

Update!

So it has been a while and a lot has happened. The mining corp I infiltrated joined an alliance, moved to npc null, the alliance had drama and moved back to highsec. I did a bunch of 'put me in leadership' stuff and got roles. This lead to ne discovering that the corp has nothing to steal. Less than 200mill and I can only get at maybe 20mill with the roles I have.


still onward and upward. I'm now working on a community project to bring together the active highsec miners into one place. It should improve their game play and if I'm lucky actual theft might happen at some point.
