Why I want to be your CSM representative:

Let’s be honest, the CSM and it’s members take a lot of flak from a lot of people so why would I want to run for it and what would I bring to the table?

  1. I believe the CSM makes a difference. Any time you can sit down with the people who directly effect the direction and composition of game you’re playing you should take it. As much as writing in ideas is productive it’s not the same as a face to face discussion. By bringing up the points we deem important directly to the Developers we can move the game in the direction that we the players, want.
  2. I have a diverse background in and out of game as it relates to Eve Online. Like many I’ve tried my hands on a diverse cross section of professions you can be in Eve:
    1. As a CEO I deal with the horrible UI for corp management and the associated difficulties managing a corp roles and access including issues with POS operation and want to see them changed
    2. As a mission runner and podcaster on them, I deal with questions and mechanics about them routinely
    3. As a trader I’ve used and abused the market and contract systems and as business executive out of Eve I have the personal tools to aid in the improvement of those systems
    4. In addition I also have been part of the out of game community building with my podcast and bloggers. With the upcoming deployment of “New Eden” I think the insights and experience I have in these will aid in directing the expansion of this service
    5. Since I play in different areas of the sandbox, I want to see them all vibrant and continue to expand.
  3. In real life I have years of experience sitting on a number of society and corporate boards as both chairman and as a general director
  4. I care about EVE Online. This game has given me years of fond memories and entertainment. I want to continue to see it improve and bring in more players.
