I see that you feel that i am not up to the task and or feel disheartened about me running for the csm. but that's a valid concern , so let's get into shall we.
I am no expert in game mechanics and balance issues in this game, I dont even say that in my forum post so where did you get that? I feel if both suitonia and myself was part of the CSM, both of us can bounce feedback from the devs on how/why this xyz is op/not op. there is no doubt that suitonia is a much stronger candidate than myself in terms of game balance and mechanics, but I am not fully running for that position. (i even commentated the first weekend of the AT, i dont know anything about balance or ships).
Isn't the commentating job mainly reserved for Eve's 'notable' personalities and not always indicative of a pure understanding of the finer points of eve mechanics and balance?
Quote:I am running for a platform of low-security, I reside here and so its my best interest to keep this area healthy, I am not just running on balance and game design alone. you may take me for a joke, because of the videos i make, and that is a perfectly fine statement to make, in fact I want people to question this, how will people know I am taking the CSM seriously? the videos I make point out the strengths, weaknesses, piloting tactics and fitting all in one, yes, they have an incredible amount of memes in them, but it takes knowledge of the game and ship design to actually make the video in the first place. Ive helped people get into pvp, new and old, I give them fittings, tactics and other helpful suggestions for them, I commentate EVE_NT, i've commentated the first weekend for AT 14, if this is not getting involved or not taking what I do seriously, then i dont know.
Most of the videos are just trash memes and poorly overreaching slam attempts at Americans. Additionally, I find it easy to just bash the ship and its balance design for lacking a "mid slot" PG or maybe a bonus as you do in 90% of video we watch that isn't filled with the aforementioned "trash memes". Any new bean in HORDE or TEST could figure out whats lacking in a ship pretty quickly but it takes a person worthy of being on the CSM to note the potential draw backs to the complex web of ship balance by simply adding a mid slot to the Punisher or buffing medium Autos. Unfortunately, I do not believe you have shown yourself capable (and as you admitted) of understanding the big and small picture of balance and mechanics. To add, you say you want to help lowsec and the little guy, yet have given very little to address the issues you would like to solve and that are at the core of your candidacy. Quite frankly, in my eight+ years of playing this game, I haven't seen a candidate that I thought was more unqualified to be on the CSM than you, and I was friends with Darius III.
This is one candidate I will not be voting for this year.
