Greetings, My name is Joffy Aulx-Gao and I am excited to announce my candidacy for CSM XI.
I have been playing Eve full-time since 2013 and proudly serve as the Diplomat for Stay Frosty and the A Band Apart Alliance. I have participated and helped organize many of Stay FrostyGÇÖs FFA in-game events, and fought in the NEO Tournament as well as the most recent Alliance Tournamant. I was one of the first players to join Stay Frosty and have been instrumental in working alongside Rixx Javix to make it one of the greatest Pirate Corporations in New Eden. But I am most proud of the friendships and connections that I have made over the years and I believe strongly that Eve is one of the greatest community of players in the world.
I probably come to Eve from a rather different perspective than most players. I have a form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Pompe Disease. This means that I am primarily confined to a bed or a wheelchair, mostly due to problems with my back. And I can only move my hands, fingers and face. Playing Eve was extremely challenging at first, but IGÇÖve learned to adjust the UI for less mouse movements and work around my inability to talk on comms. I donGÇÖt believe in letting my own challenges stand in my way and I suppose this fighting spirit is the real reason I want to represent you on the CSM this year.
My platform is built around helping players from all walks of life enjoy Eve. And to see it continue to expand to include more players from all backgrounds. Certainly my own situation has inspired me to help those in similar situations understand that they to can enjoy our wonderful game. But I also want to focus on Low Sec space as itGÇÖs my home, because I believe this area within the game still needs a lot of attention.
I want you to know that I will be your voice and that I am ready to earn your vote. IGÇÖve never taken anything for granted, and serving the players is something that I will do with pride and distinction if chosen to do so. There are issues that continue to persist in Eve and these need to be addressed, our voices need to be heard and I will strive to be the conduit thru which they can be.
As Diplomat and Director in the A Band Apart Alliance IGÇÖve had the distinct pleasure of working with our Corporations in all areas of Eve, from piracy, to industry, wormholes, and most recently, with Null Sec Sov. I strongly believe that this perspective has given me a unique ability to understand how they all work together to create a better environment for all of us. And IGÇÖd like to see those connections expanded in the near future. We stand on the edge of drastic change, with new and exciting additions to the game being added quickly. It is more important now than ever to have knowledgeable and experienced players representing you on the CSM.
Player issues are ever-changing, but I have spoken to many players and these are some of the ones I believe elicit the strongest opinions (in no particular order):
- That warfare links needs to be changed so itGÇÖs not just a required tool for regular PvP but a tool thatGÇÖs risky and more activity focused, not just an alt in deep space.
Suitonia has some nice ideas on this matter written on his blog here https://suitonia.wordpress.com/
- T3 dessies are dominating small FW plexes way too much nothing can really challenge them so i suggest banning them from small FW plexes and let them only enter medium and large.
- Ban Warp core stabilizers from FW plexes! Ok on a more serious note, the Factional Warfare system needs to reward PvP and willingness to fight, the best tactic to make ISK should not be to run away.
- With the new changes for battlecruisers it would be really nice to have a FW plex where battlecruisers is the largest ship that can enter.
- Many of us know how annoying it is when we have so many chat channels in the same window an arrow shows up and we canGÇÖt see all our channels, would be so nice to increase the number of chat channels we can see before the arrow shows up.
IGÇÖd love if the disabled among our community came to me with ideas so we can make EVE better and more accesseful for all of us.
How to contact me: Ingame channel: Beyond Boundaries Ingame: Mail or convo Joffy Aulx-Gao Tweetfleet Slack: Just DM me Twitter: JoffyAulxGao
I am asking for your support and your vote in the CSM elections. There are many dedicated and worthy candidates, and I hope to be among them when the time comes. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Cearain
I'm glad you came with constructive feedback.
I've lived in factional Space the last 2 years as a pirate shooting everybody so i'm aware of all those farmers and i want to somehow make it better to fight for your PLEX than run away, whether it's timer rollbacks or rewarding pvp more, Something has to be done.
I'm a bit unsure about the Intel thing because if it will be tied to notifications every guy in FW will be spammed to hell and back, it will not be much else than annoying.
If you got time one of the upcoming days feel free to convo me ingame. I'd love to hear more ideas and feedback.

I had first heard of him at Eve LA when Lantana Grey and Lanctharus were discussing his candidacy. Joffy is extremely articulate and thoughtful, and is willing to listen to other view points that conflict with his own. My only worry is that he will have a difficult time getting his voice heard during remote calls at the csm summits. I've heard this voiced by a few other people that I've talked to. Joffy, can you address this?
Hello Bebop
I've talked with current CSM member Steve Ronuken also known as Fuzzysteve and he said that it'll ofc be a bit annoying but as long as i butt in it should go ok :) it's no different than a business conference and ppl do that over the World remotely. But no matter what we need to remember that the summits is just a part of being elected on the CSM, it's about discussing changes, listening to player feedback and warning CCP if they do catastrophic Things XD hopefully that doesn't happen. I'll also help motivate Fellow CSM'ers or Devs if they feel Down or sad. We all have those moments and we can just as well admit it.

Ganking is a Top-of-mind issue in hisec, esp in the carebear community.
The key feature of ganking is a profit motive. There is NO profit motive in anti-ganking. Also with the current game mechanics ganking has become low risk for high reward.
What would you do to restored the balance? Firstly, I would say that the perception of ganking is very different to the reality of it, I would also say that it is not necessarily the primary concern of mission runners, and most haulers know ways to reduce the risk.
I have had highsec alts doing hauling, mining and other activities, and whilst ganking is of course something to be aware of, it was not a problem for my characters.
To answer your other questions, I dont believe anti-gankers do what they do for profit, however, I think it is a shame that anti-ganking is purely reactive at present, that is, after seeing intel, anti-gankers have to sit on a gate waiting for the gank attempt to begin, and hope they can assist in time.
I feel that there are things haulers and miners can do to reduce the likelihood of being ganked, but, as with everything else in eve, if someone really wants to take you out, they will. As to the risk vs reward, there is always room for change in mechanics, but, I am not really sure how I would change this particular one, but I am open to suggestions from both sides to improve it.

Bukka Bazooka wrote:You are an inspiration to me. As someone who is very nearsighted I have to say that having a CSM who fights for those of us who have trouble with the UI and not being able to see it clearly due to the lack of font/display controls is hard to play EVE with. For instance there is no font control in the game browser. What you see is what you get. This is not acceptable. The amount of obstacles you have overcome and the gallantry you display makes me proud of you. I would love to have you represent us as a CSM.
Anyone with a limitation is just as capable at mastering the intricacies of this game and we should not have to battle with the UI to accomplish this. Thank you for running! You are my number 1 choice for CSM! Hello Bukka
There are many Things with the UI that can be improved from font size to placement of buttons and even how you control certain Things. I hope i can adress those to CCP. Not everything will be looked at but hopefully some of the changes will be implemented.
I appreciate all the support i get from all of you voters :) have a nice day and fly safe
