Hi everyone!
As an elected member of the first CSM I feel the time has come for me to run a second time. My character is an Achura female who started in Eve Online over two and half years ago as a student at Eve University - New EdenĘs largest new player training corporation. Over time I became an instructor, recruiter and eventually a director at Eve University.
The person behind Dierdra Vaal is Valentijn Geirnaert, a 24 year old dutch computer science student from The Netherlands with a focus on game design. I was an elected member of the first Council of Stellar Management in 2008. I am running for a second term now because I believe I have the right ideas about the direction the game needs to take. On top of that, I strongly feel that if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
Instead of writing a really long post on what I stand for I will simply refer you to my website.

I would like to be the first to say good luck in your campaign Dierdra. You did a smashing job last time round. My own time in Eve University was a happy and worthwhile one and it's people like you that help to make Eve that little bit easier on the new players who come through your doors.

Whats your view of the blatant favoritism within CCP regarding the alliance formally known as Band Of Brothers,and the blatant disregard to their own Eula regarding the name change from kenzuko to Band of Brother Reloaded and all that it entails.

When I met the CCP devs in iceland last year it was interesting to see how worried they were about showing favouritism, something I've recently seen enforced by CCP in an unrelated case. IF they actually made an exception for BoB that would be extremely worrying, however I'm witholding judgement until their Internal Affairs department finishes their investigation (which I'm sure is going on atm). It could be a GM error and that would result in the name being changed back. It could be a change in policy, unfortunately CCP has shown repeatedly that synchronising its public documentation and internal policies/mechanics isnt one of their strong points.
Regardless, until CCP makes a statement nobody really knows what is going on. I'm confident someone on the current CSM will bring this up (my guess would be Darius JOHNSON).
EDIT: I just read CCP's reply here. CCP stated that they have done this before, and if this is true (I have no reason to think otherwise) then there has been a precendent and CCP did not show favouritism. That said, this seems to be another example of CCP failing to communicate properly. You'd think they'd learn eventually

First, lets keep in mind these are first-draft, proposed changes. Nothing final yet and any of those changes wont make it into the game in a hurry.
I think they're ridiculous (same for the SB changes). Admittedly the 230km optimal range on my Falcon (rigged for range, naturally) is maybe a bit too far (although imo thats what Rokhs and other falcons are here to deal with), but removing the optimal bonus completely to turn an expensive but paper-thin ship into a close range fighter is ridiculous. A better solution would be to reduce the Falcon's range bonus to 10-15% so its optimal would be in range of most sniper setups while it still has some combat viability. The Rook with its existing damage and tank bonuses might be better suited for CCPs visions for short range brawler. The scorpion is fine and I'm not sure why they want to change it. And the kitsune could use some love but oddly enough CCP seems to forget about that one.
Signal Distortion Amps are fine as they are I think - they do force ECM pilots to truly commit almost all of their ships slots to their EWAR (gimping their damage and tank), but I feel that weakness justifies the strength of ECM modules.
I may be a bit biased because I do fly ECM, but I think people forget too easily that for every time you curse because a falcon pilot jams you, there's another time when a jam fails and the falcon pilot can say bye bye to his ship. ECM is an all or nothing effect and people focus too much on the All and forget about the Nothing.

I would like to thank you for your document on bounty hunting, and you were one of the brightest stars in CSM1. Unless I see another candidate which I think better captures my desires for this game, you have my vote. Good luck, and kudos.

voting booths have opened, and I'm right there at the top, easy to vote for ;)
Also a slight update to my website. I had a whole lot of ideas to add, but I seemed to forget them to moment I look at the website's content management system :(

Full support for your Bounty Hunting system
You should do a more simple/easy read of the bounty system document, so every body reads it.
I hope you really push this into ccp. You have my vote for this.

Come on people, don't neglect Dierdra, he really deserves a seat in the CSM as well. Dierdra did great in CSM1 and wrote a pretty comprehensive document on bounty hunting, I'm sure more of that kind of quality will come if he gets voted in. ---

There was another person involved with the bounty-hunting stuff...and I'd have no hesitation working with Dierdra again on other issues- top candidate!
