EVE Online

00:00:00

00:11:13 Welcome back, everyone. I am CCP Swift, joined by CCP Lumi for the remainder of Day 2's CSM20 Candidate Interviews. We've got a good four, three hours of candidate interviews. It's going to be amazing. I am really, really looking forward to it. There's actually a ton of incumbents who are coming up for their interview, a couple newcomers as well. It is a great mix.

00:11:39 It is a great mix indeed. I feel like they've done this on purpose where they've just all grouped together and they wanted to make it like one big blog. We told them no because it has to be fair. Everyone gets 10 minutes and you can't like yap for an hour just by making it a group interview.

00:11:57 Ten minutes each. They'll be in a group, in spirit at least. And today is just day two of our interviews. If you missed any, yesterday we were live as well. You can catch that VOD over here on CCTV. And tomorrow we'll be back at 1400 UTC. That's Eve time. Just look bottom left of your screen. And when you're playing Eve, then you'll know what time it is. And we've got a nice little block in the morning.

00:12:24 The afternoon. Early afternoon. Yeah, early afternoon. Then we're back at 6 o'clock tomorrow for a few hours for the remainder of the interviews. There's actually 56 people running for CSM20. It is a very high net. Well, it's a higher number than last year, which was a higher number than the year before. So it's a positive sign. We love seeing people run for CSM.

00:12:49 We do indeed, which is why we're doing these interviews. Everyone got a chance to sign up. I think we have like a total of 48 or 47 interviews, which honestly is still plenty considering all the talking we have to do in the meantime. But I, for one, am glad to be back. It feels like it's the middle of our interview section now. Yeah, it does. It feels good.

00:13:10 But let's not keep yapping ourselves. Let's get the interview train rolling. Next up we have, who's up next? Is it Benzman? It is Benzman. He is local to us. He is in Iceland doing this interview, unlike some of our under-candidates, where we get at various times of their days, or nights even. Welcome, Benzman. How are you doing? I'm doing good.

Benzman: Lowsec-Revitalisierung und Erfahrung

00:13:40

00:13:40 Are you excited for this interview? Yeah. Perfect, I'll kick it right off. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Who are you and what do you do in EVE? So, I'm Ben Spann. I've played online for over 21 years. I'm a Lost Like Pirate and currently a member of SnuffDot.

00:14:02 Right on. Excuse me, I can't speak today. What area of space do you feel like you represent a Ruther? What place would you associate with yourself? Losec. Losec Mining? Losec? Yeah, Losec PVP. Losec PVP. You're one of them PVPers. I knew it.

00:14:26 Actually, you've made a couple of great meme videos as well. If anyone remembers watching the video of someone with a GoPro strapped to their head playing EVE Online, probably around Amamaki, that was Benzman. One of our all-time favorite videos that we've ever had. That was a good video indeed. I actually strapped a GoPro to a bicycle helmet. I didn't have any other mount to put it on.

00:14:56 Er ist inventive, als auch. Ja, so 21 Jahre auf EVE Online zu spielen. Das ist ein sehr langes Zeit. Was hat dich verletzt, um CSM 20 zu spielen? So, über die Jahre, Freunde von mir in Game haben mich gefragt, warum ich nicht für die CSM gehen. Und ich habe jetzt entschieden, um es jetzt zu gehen. So, in Ihrer Meinung, was ist die Rolle von der CSM?

00:15:26 Und um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

00:15:48 So, I would like to change LOSAC, like try to bring more people into LOSAC and engage in both PvE and PvP there. It seems to be starting to stagnate a bit. I would like, for example, to change missions, like that you get more rewards for running missions in LOSAC, like if you do them in LOSAC, like if you accept the mission.

00:16:15 in HighSec, but the mission takes place in LowSec. And same if you were to accept the mission in LowSec from an Agent there. So more rewards. That is something that definitely needs a change in my opinion. And same with combat sites. They need to be more rewarding.

00:16:34 Es gibt viele Low-Sack, die niemand in leben. Es ist einfach eine ghost-town. Ich möchte die Leute, die Boring-Kate sind, so wir sind da.

00:16:47 Ja, und die Faktion Warfare warzonen sind wirklich mit Leuten, weil es genau wie du gesagt hast. Es gibt vieles zu tun, vieles zu tun, vieles zu tun, vieles zu tun und vieles zu tun. Wir haben gesehen, wie das kann viele Menschen, oder eher eine größere Bevölkerung, in dieser Raum zu leben.

00:17:08 Ja. Und also, viele Leute, die in HighSec starten, die einfach nur zu LowSec gehen, stattdessen zu LowSec zu versuchen. Und in meiner Meinung nach LowSec ist das am besten zu leben. Ich habe eine Vivid memory von, als ich das Spiel begann. Ich ging direkt zu LowSec, weil ich dachte, ich könnte ein Piratet sein. Und dann habe ich mich auf wirklich hart. Und dann war es schade.

00:17:37 Ich denke, das ist eine regularische Erkunft für die Leute, die sich in Lozeck für den ersten Mal ausführen und dann wird es getrennt, und dann starten Sie zu erinnern. Ja, das ist es. So, wenn Sie uns zu erklären, die Zuschauer zu den letzten Mal, wer die Constituenten sind, Sie planen auf representieren? What do you mean? Ich bin nicht familiar mit dem Wort. Wer sind die Leute, die Sie sind für die Voters? Wer sind Sie? Wer sind Sie?

00:18:08 So, I'm getting support from a lot of people in LOSAC, some people in NOLSAC as well. I also want to do something good for people living in HISAC. There's definitely some changes that I want to be changed for them as well, just for the betterment of the game.

00:18:34 Right on. And there are a couple of CSM candidates historically that have come from LOSEC. I think most recently in CSM19, at least, there's YoungPuke2. There are actually some amazing CSM20 candidates running that are in LOSEC as well. When you look at the list of candidates, is there anyone that stands out as someone that you would be like, man, this would be fun to be on the CSM with, or like, I think I would compliment them really well, or they would compliment me really well?

00:19:03 Es gibt viele Leute in den CSM, die ich liebe. Tapu Smuse, Junkuk, er ist gut. Kaschau, Mike Asria, und Ariel Wren. Ich liebe Ariel Wren.

00:19:25 Ja, das ist gut, weil ich eine System-Administration selbst bin, und ich liebe die Verlust-Developer Dinge, die er macht. Sounds like you have your Ballad all thought out. Ja.

00:19:40 Anyone rooting for LOSAC definitely is on my ballot. And I would say for anyone that lives in LOSAC should vote for the people on the CSM that are running for LOSAC. Because LOSAC hasn't had a lot of CSM representatives throughout the years until recently. So it's definitely good to see a lot of people from LOSAC.

00:20:09 Trying to do a good thing there. Yeah, it is. I think it's really healthy when we see different diverse playstyles represented on the CSM. It really helps us at CCP when we're doing decision-making stuff, just to add more points that we can kind of look at and people we can consult for just making changes and stuff. When it comes to EVE, EVE is many games in a trench coat masquerading as one game.

00:20:37 But it's hard to make everyone happy, and it's hard to consider every playstyle. That's why the CSM is so helpful. Yeah, definitely. All right, I'm going to ask you one of my favorite questions that we've been asking so far. For someone who has never heard of you, nor is too familiar with Snuffed, could you describe yourself in three words?

00:21:02 In drei words. Okay, Bernhard is asking me to describe snuff or... Okay, so basically it's dedication and solution-oriented and patient.

00:21:17 Sounds good. Efficiency is definitely something you're going to need if you make it onto the CSM. It can be a pretty intense time commitment to be on the CSM, sometimes up to 20 hours. Depends a little on how you approach things. How do you see yourself balancing that with everything else that is going on in your life? I don't think it's going to be a problem. I sit and hold on my PC like 16 to 18 hours per day.

00:21:46 Ich bin immer leichter zu erreichen. Das hört sich an, dass es Ihr komfy Ort ist. Ja, definitiv.

00:21:55 Speaking of easy to reach, when it comes to these interviews, the 10 minutes goes by so quick. And for those of people watching that might want to hear a little bit more about Benzman and like your entire campaign and how you approach EVE Online, have you done any other interviews with streamers or anything like that or podcasts? Or are you planning to do any in the near future?

00:22:19 Ja, so, I was in Interview on the Norwegian Post Twitch channel. Yesterday I was on the Chat Squad Twitch channel, and I got some upcoming streams as well. So, yeah, I'll definitely be around. Right on. Lots of places where people can hear from you. That's super good.

00:22:46 And with that, as we said before, we started this interview, time goes by really fast, especially those 10 minutes. We've almost reached the end. Is there anything else you'd like to talk about or a closing statement, so to speak? I just want to encourage people to vote for the representative that they truly want to vote for. How should I put this?

00:23:18 Find the representatives that is running for something that you like in the game and vote for them. Doesn't have to be me, doesn't have to be anyone specific, just find the right one that suits you. And if anyone wants to chat with me, you can reach me on Discord for in-game. My Discord name is Spenceman, just as my in-game name, so yeah.

00:23:42 Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank. Ich muss sagen, es hat sich ein Spaß zu sprechen. Ich werde glücklich sein, wenn wir zum nächsten Candidate kommen, nur weil ich habe zu sehen, dass ich dein Charakter in die Gesichter habe, direkt in die Gesichter, für die letzten 10 Minuten. Und es ist einfach in meine Hände. Das ist das, was ich für.

00:24:05 Very creative, very spooky, good stuff. But again, Benjamin, really appreciate chatting with you. Seems to be Lumi and I are going to be right back to get our next candidate ready to chat. And we'll be here again in like four or five minutes. All right. Thank you.

00:28:36 Welcome back to Part 3 of the CSM20 Candidate Interviews. I cannot believe how fast this is going, but we've got, I was going to say a long night ahead of us, but really it's only like three hours and it will be 11 p.m. our time before we know it. So let's get going. Welcome to Pewsmoos, how are you doing? Hi, I'm good, thank you. Thank you for having me on. Our pleasure. So can you introduce yourself? Who are you and what is your background in EVE?

Pewse Moose: Aggressive Balancierung und Datenbasierte Kommunikation

00:29:05

00:29:05 Ja, so I am the Pewse Moose, or Pewse for short. I am currently an FC and co-leader of the Small LowSec Alliance Watch This. My EVE career, I've been around since about 2008. I've been through high-sec PDE running. I've been a null-sec tie-dye fest attender, and I've settled now in LowSec doing chiefly PvP. So I've got a broad range of experience across the game for quite a long time.

00:29:35 So, why run now? Why CSM20?

00:29:39 So, I've been sort of observing goings-on for a long time, and I feel I've formed a good solid understanding of how the game works, the current issues of the game and the health of the game. Recently I've had some opportunities to talk directly to CCP devs about these specific subjects as well, and that has kind of pushed me to think, well, I could probably do this more regularly and have a good impact on the overall health and enjoyment of the game for everybody.

00:30:07 Sounds really good. So if we're like high-level speaking, what topics are you running on?

00:30:14 My main focuses are ship balance. Overall, I think there needs to be frequent and more aggressive ship balance to hulls in the game. I'm also looking into reworks and upgrades of older systems. So there are quite a few very old systems in EVE, EVE being an old game, that could do with being brought up to a more modern standard to make players more engaged and get more people into space.

00:30:45 Right on. Es ist wirklich ähnlich wie jemand in deinem Group, Phantomite, der ist ein formerer CSM. Ich kann sehen, dass er seine Tendrils versucht, in einer Weise zu influenzieren. Brandt hat gesagt, dass er nicht wollen, um das Spiel zu gehen. Er hat sich viel zu tun, aber ich fühle mich, dass da eine sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr voix für diese Themen ist. Ich dachte, ich werde es.

00:31:13 Was great on the CSM, super effective as well, and kind of had a similar thought. Not exactly the same by any means, but especially when it comes to ship balance stuff. And hopefully we've increased the cadence a little bit. I know you guys all want more, but we're moving at a glacial place, but we're moving at a pace.

00:31:38 When it comes to communication, you know, some stuff that made former CSMs like Phantomite and others really great is their ability to reach out to the community after being elected to either solicit information from them, share some ideas, just get some feedback from them and kind of stay up to date on what's going on within the game. How do you plan on doing that to your constituents and people who might vote for you?

00:32:06 Ja, ich plan, um zu beenden, um zu beenden und kommunizieren, wie möglich. Das ist wahrscheinlich wahrscheinlich durch Discord, weil alle benutzen es. Ich bin ein bisschen ein Lerker auf EVE-Reddit und EVE-Forum und Dinge, aber ich bin ein bisschen auf dem, und wenn man elected will, dann werde ich mich mehr aktiv auf dem. Ich habe auch schon viele Leute von EVE-Mail reachen, und habe auch schon productive Gespräche in dem Spiel, das war sehr interessant.

00:32:34 Mostly drawing my own experience, but reaching out to people I know within the community who have experience in things that I might be working on. Yeah, I am a scientist in real life, so I'll be looking to get sort of case studies and look for actual data to back things up as well, so I can come to you guys and say, hey, look, a lovely actual provable thing of this is an issue.

00:32:57 Science, dude, this is so cool. One of my favorite things about the CSM, besides hearing from EVE Online passions, is what people do in their professional lives as well. And there are so many different, you know, types of cohorts of people that play EVE Online. There's doctors, lawyers, mechanics. We had Chef earlier on, and now a scientist. This is so dope.

00:33:24 Das ist eine weitere Grund für uns zu lieben diese Interviews. Wir lernen so viel über alle. Es ist eine Vibrant-Community. Es ist, sehr Vibrant. Great choice of words.

00:33:38 So, you mentioned you've been looking at CSM from a distance for a while now. In your opinion, if you got to pick one thing, what would you change about the CSM as an institution that you think would result in more effective cooperation between CCP, the CSM and players?

00:33:58 So I'm going to be cheeky and pick two things. First, to begin with, earlier release of patch notes, I think would be great rather than directly on the patch day to give CSM some time to gather feedback from community and bring that back to CCP before it goes live. Any little problems that might not have been noticed can then be passed back and hopefully fixed before deployment. And then secondly,

00:34:23 Ich weiß, dass das schon gemacht wurde und es war, weil es wegen der Workload Probleme gibt, aber es ist etwas, was die Aktivität der CSM, also wenn das Minutes ist, oder nur an Indikation des Meetings haben, um die Wider-Community zu sehen, dass CSM und CSP sind zusammengearbeitet und es bildet, und hoffentlich wird die Leute mehr engagiert mit der CSM-Reprenentativen.

00:34:47 Ja, das ist ein guter Job. Es ist immer ein Problem, dass wir die beste Weg zu kommunizieren, was wir arbeiten an. Manchmal CSM-Members take es auf sich selbst zu tun, das wir sehr gut unterstützen. Aber manchmal versuchen wir zu geben, zumindest quarterly updates. Aber es kann wirklich schwer sein, wo das alles kommt, und wann es wird, und was es wird. Nicht jeder hört sich alles, was wir auf jeden Fall haben. Even wenn wir, we like to think, dass sie das machen.

00:35:18 So, going back a little bit when it comes to being on the CSM, some of the things that you mentioned can be very time consuming. Being on the CSM, you know, it's just a one hour meeting once a week that people don't have to necessarily make live. They can always listen to a recording. Sometimes a recording at one and a half speed. They hear me as a chipmunk and other CCB devs as well. Can confirm, super funny. Can confirm.

00:35:47 Aber wie würdest du, was du in der realen Welt machst, was du mit EVE Online machst, und diese Änderung von der CSN? Ich bin bereits auf EVE, mehrere Stunden, jeden Tag, so ich bin froh, dass ich das Zeit für die größte Goode bin. Ich bin auch glücklich genug, dass ich flexibel Arbeitserangst, die mich anwenden, alle die Gespräche, die ich anwenden, nicht anwenden, was sie sind.

00:36:17 That is super convenient, because depending on your time zone, it can be anywhere from past midnight to somewhere early morning. But all that aside, it's time for my favorite question. Can you please describe yourself in three words? Relentlessly active and driven, I think.

00:36:40 Nice, I like it. Checks out. I did some quick math on my hands. Definitely there. Relentlessly active is one of my favorite traits for someone running for CSM. Just because staying connected with what's going on is some of the best ways to raise issues with the developers and with just the community itself. It was such a quick answer too. It didn't take you any time at all to answer this. I like it.

00:37:09 Ich habe mich über alles überrascht. Also, wenn jemand mehr über dich und was du anstattest, ist, ob du schon noch mehr über dich anstattest? Ja, so ich co-host die Untethered Podcasts jeden Sunday auf der New Eden Post Channel hier auf Twitch.

00:37:33 I have been interviewed on that and interviewed other candidates on that. I recently did the Declarations of War podcast, which should be coming out in the next couple of days. I'll be talking to Kashal Aderon at the end of next week. All of these things will come out, but you can find me chiefly on Discord. Reach out to me and we'll chat.

00:37:55 Right on, that's a great staple of community shows that you've been on, that you will be on. Also, having your own show is a pretty cool hack as well, being able to introduce some other candidates and help raise exposure for them as well. Greatly appreciated. We love when the community kind of goes out of their way to help us with the CSM20 interviews and letting everyone know about all these candidates.

00:38:21 Shockingly, our 10 minutes are up to puce moose. Puce moose. I've got to figure out how to say that quickly. Any final words before we send you off? Not really, no. Just encourage people to vote. Try and get some independent candidates in there as well. Make sure you use all 10 slots.

00:38:46 Sage advice, really appreciated. That is definitely something we hope to see more of, is just people voting and filling out those ballots. Yves University next week will go on before voting starts and walk everyone through how to do the STD ranked voting, just in case it's something you're not familiar with. And you also, you get stuff in game for voting too, so why not? Well, on that note, I think we will go back to the holding screen while we get Drake ready for his interview. He's up next.

00:39:18 See you in a few minutes.

00:43:49 Welcome back, everyone. We have got Drake Eden with us at the moment. And as you can see, he is out in space because he is celebrating Totality Day. But he'll be also doing this interview, so if you feel like shooting a nice dret, now is your time. He will be distracted. We'll keep him away from his screen. We're in the 90% drop rate, and I'm in a very nice pod, and we got the 50% pod drop rate as well. So come and ring the dinner bell. We have about 100 bill of mods in here.

Drake Eden: Pochven-Optimierung und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen

00:44:19

00:44:19 In the Office of Fit Dread, come fight me so I can fight you. Sounds like we have to nerf Pokhman. That's all I'm hearing from this. We've already done that over the past year. We've gotten Poshman under control. It's been printing far too much isk since its inception because it was just so unbalanced.

00:44:41 Und mit der September MER, seit mir auf den CSM und meinen ersten Veränderungen zu gehen, in Revenance, 107 Trillion ISK mehr wurde, durch die Veränderungen wir durch. Und das ISK das bleibt, hat sich über viel mehr Menschen geschehen.

00:44:58 I was just memeing, unintentionally teed you up for a banger. Dragan, currently on CSM19, as you just alluded to, and hopefully everyone out there knows, because you're also one of, just like the rest of CSM19, very, very good at communicating with the players, chatting with them. So what brings you back for CSM20? Multiple things, really. There's a lot of work that I haven't.

00:45:22 Es ist nicht fertig, also die Planung, so es gibt noch viele Schritte. Und ich habe innoe CCB Rampant genug für eine Jahrzehnte, so ich denke, das nächste Jahr ist irgendwie frei, so es ist gut, es wird gut gelten, wirklich gut da. Wir müssen noch die LP-Store zurück in, in eine proper Format.

00:45:45 1. Adds value to people using it, because currently it doesn't. And 2. Is an ISC sync for the region which needs it. And there's multiple other sites, like the one I'm at now. This is the Stellar site. I'm specifically here, so no one can bomb me, because it's Dreads. It's a dead space, and Dreads do not like focus void bombs. This one and others, like the World Arc, needs to be rebuilt in the same system that we did for the small sites and the...

00:46:15 und die OBS-Sites. Und auf dem, da sind noch extra Gravy-Things ich möchte. Die drei Triglavian-Ships, die drei Haulers, die nicht benutzen sind. Das ist ein leichter Weg, um sie in den Spiel zu kommen. Die Ankerages und die Home-Systems könnten eine Dock-Able-Struktion und ein Hub für die Leute in der Region. Oh, hier kommt ein Revelation. Der Mist-Taste Obdre! Das ist Laura's Revelation, weil es die erste I sold, Tim.

00:46:44 Outside of Pochfin, I've been doing a lot of work on anti-cheating and anti-botting, anti-RMT. I've worked alongside, in the capacity that I can, with Team Security. We've had hundreds, if not thousands, of accounts banned through me helping people, one, identify cheating, and two, teach them how to more effectively report. I do want the in-game systems to be overhauled.

00:47:13 Es ist einfacher und einfacher, wie es zu informieren. Und ich würde es so, wie es ein Dropdown-Menü gibt. So, was specifically you're reporting. Und dann ein bisschen Blurb as to why, which will help out the GMs und Team Security. Und ich habe auch mit CCBK1P1 gearbeitet. So, ich liebe es, aber ich bin auch kind of deaf. So, ich möchte auch ein paar...

00:47:41 Ich habe auch noch mehr Def accessibility options in der Game gegeben. Ich habe zwei Case Studies von anderen Games zu CCP gegeben. Und auch eine für Colourblindness, weil wir haben Colourblind Accessibility options in der Game, aber ganz ehrlich, sie nicht gut funktionieren. Die Dinge, die sie zu helfen haben, zum Beispiel, ich habe einige Modules hier, die sind green, und wenn ich sie überheben, sie sind noch mehr green. Was ist ihr green Colourblind?

00:48:07 The Core Blind options do not change that. So that's a good example of the type of things I want to continue doing and finally get through if I get a Lexus ASM20.

00:48:19 So lots of things on your list that you plan on changing and are working on at the very least. If you had to pick an area in the game that you're least experienced with, what would that be? It could be game style or actual place. Game style, probably industry, so I do stuff on markets. Oh, here comes Laurie's. Here comes the revolution. Here's two dreads. We're ringing the dinner bell, boys. Come fight us. He's probably going to shot you at me.

00:48:49 Aber ich würde sagen, HiSEC habe ich nicht viel gemacht. Und mit den F.O.B. be removed und HiSEC war nicht so happy. Das ist definitiv etwas, dass ich jemanden wie Kaschal wäre, sehr gut an. Industrie, ich habe nicht viel Produktion mehr gemacht, also das ist etwas, was ich abgibt. Wir haben drei Kapitalen jetzt. Hier kommt die Kamera.

00:49:15 So, yeah, those are the main things I generally don't interact with.

00:49:19 You kind of touched on this a little bit, but being on CSM19, you're working alongside 11 incredibly talented other CSMs. And there are other, there's, let's see if I can speak swift, there's 55 other candidates running for CSM20. Is there someone that you kind of look forward to working with in the candidate pool? Someone that's not already on CSM19, sort of some new blood in there, because we know there's at least going to be

00:49:48 Es gibt drei oder vier, oder? Es gibt also vier neue Kandidaten auf CSM 20. So, specifically von den Leuten, die nicht in Cumberland sind. Also, ich möchte noch zwei Leute, die wir mit für die Changes, die wir haben durch, auf CSM. Sven Bauer hat ein sehr guter Arbeit auf UI und Icon redesigniert. Some of his Changes, er hat mit mir geholfen, und ich habe ihn getrennt.

00:50:17 Another person who sat down with me over a nice burger after Fanfest was Iteya. He didn't get on last year, but he was very close until Seto came out of literally nowhere with a proverbial steel chair. I just knocked him off that last spot. He's very eloquent. He knows the game inside and out. He's a very skilled pilot. And when I sat down with him...

00:50:45 Er hat sich die Qualität, die zu erzeugen, mit CCP und anderen Devs und den resten der CSM. Ich denke, er wäre sehr effektiv. Also, wenn du ein Poschfinn-Guy möchtest, wir haben mein Mann. Er ist unter ein anderes Name. Er ist nicht Oli Arnis. Er hat ein anderes Name. Er ist unter ein anderes Name. Er ist ein anderes Name.

00:51:10 Hier ist der Plushman-Guy. Ich weiß nicht, ob der Charakter er ist. Aber ja, vote für ihn. Ich werde dich cook auf das. Ich werde dich cook auf das. Oh, nein! Ich habe es vergessen! Und dann, weil ich bin Grady, ich werde mehr Leute wählen. So die Leute, die wir mit der CSM haben, haben wir absoluten Killingen. Wir haben mich, Fightmaster, Wormhole Boy. Wir haben YoungPuke 2.

00:51:35 Oh, hold up, hold up. We said ones that are not currently on CSM19. Yeah, I know, that's why I'm being greedy. And also the final one, I am cheating. And also Oz, because I've been working a lot with him on economy stuff. So there's my one pick. There's Drake's ballad, actually, instead of his one pick. So, Drake, this might be a bit of a challenge, but in three words, describe yourself. Just three words.

00:52:03 In den letzten drei Jahren habe ich immer gesagt, dass ich den Snake Panther enjoyer war. Aber als für sie dann, habe ich zu mehr expensive ships upgraded und ich bin jetzt den Snake Python enjoyer.

00:52:16 Und ganz positiv ist der einzige Python-Pilot in Pakvin. Oh, das ist ein Tung-Twister. Das ist eine Tung-Twister. Er hat einen Kiel-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill

00:52:44 All right, so time is almost up. It happened so fast, as you know very well. Any closing remarks? Preferably CSM-related, but I'll let one sentence about Totality Day slide. So, of course, Totality Day is on, and we have just destroyed one irreplaceable citadel in Potthaven. We're now yeeting these capitals, and...

00:53:11 I'm ringing the loot to Dinabel, come and kill me. And this one here, this Archon here, and this red here. We are in Scarcon. And after that we are going to go and destroy another irreplaceable Astero. I believe it's an Astero. So there'll be three loot drops there, so come and get rich. And on top of that, I've been honoured to be on CSM19. It was more productive than I ever could have imagined.

00:53:39 Und das war ein wirklich großer Voto von CSP für mich. Und ich hoffe, ich habe die Voto-Base auch die Voto-Base, so bitte vote für mich. Well said, Drake.

00:53:56 To that end, if you want to hear more from Drake's campaign, you've been on a ton of different podcasts and shows. I know you have been on several already, and there are several that are still coming out. Declarations of War. Can you name the other ones real quick? So there's Declarations of War, there was Laru, there was Shadsquatch, there was Kashal, and there was Untethered. Those are the ones I have been on.

00:54:26 And I'm not going to kill this paladin. Oh, you wuss. There you go. MJD to safety. No balls. Come on. He's trying to cut Drake off before he starts saying the naughty words. Right on. Well, thank you very much, Drake. Great chatting to you as always. Luby and I are going to go on a short break for the next two or three minutes while we get our next candidate and someone who Drake knows very well in Dujek. So we'll be back in...

00:54:55 Real soon, don't go anywhere. Bye. Welcome back, everyone. We have brought Dujek for his interview of the CSM20 Candidate Interviews Part 3 already. Dujek, how are you doing tonight? I'm great. Thanks for having me. You are welcome. So for people that don't know you, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Dujek: New Player Advocacy und Kommunikation über Discord

00:58:26

00:58:26 I am Duge Gwanai. I fly with Brave Newbies and have done so for most of the 11 years I've played EVE. And I enjoy being active in a lot of areas of space. I also have lived in wormholes for the majority of the time that I've played EVE. And I like to try just about everything and see if I like it. All right. So if you had to pick your topics that you're campaigning on, which ones are those if you've tried almost anything in EVE?

00:58:58 I am leaning into my role in Brave Newbies and also just campaigning heavily as a new player advocate and candidate.

00:59:11 Ich habe das letzte Jahr auf den CSM gespielt, das wirklich auf mich als der Main Person, der besonders wichtig ist. Especially für NullSec Candidates, du musst du einen secondary Bereich des Fokus haben. Ich auch liebe Small Gangs, ich mache vieles Blopps gameplay. So in a sense, PvP ist das Leben von was ich in EVE in EVE.

00:59:40 Anything that touches on that and leads to more destruction is always going to be a fun thing to talk about. And last year I got to see how the CSM actually works and the amount of one-on-one dev time we get for bringing forth...

00:59:59 und comments und Qual-Life-improvements und alles von der Gemeinschaft. So, ich bin auf das. Ich bin nicht nur für Leute zu reden, ich bin auf die Leute zu reden, ich bin von denen und von denen zu reden, über die Themen, die sie in den Bereich des Spiels möchten. Und, letztlich, ich bin viel über Chip Balance. So, ich bin ein bisschen auf das, und ich bin ein bisschen auf das. Und ich bin ein bisschen mehr Ammunition in das...

01:00:28 Und das ist eine Diskussion mit der CCP und für eine größere Weapon-Terra-Side-Projekt zu werden, um in der Zukunft zu werden.

01:00:39 Plenty of plans to keep you going for at least another term. But as you alluded to, you are one of our CSM19 members at the moment. You've got some experience with how we do things at CCP. So if you got to pick one change that you could make to the CSM as an institution, what would that be?

01:01:00 I don't think that this will come across as a revolutionary change, but with CCP Okami present in our entire term, he is very much on board with letting us talk to him about things to talk to the community about. I've been loving the fact that he puts out the dev updates on Discord. There are more dev blogs than there have been. I think we're going to just lean heavily into...

01:01:28 Ich glaube, dass wir die Community mit denen durch Devs sagen können, weil sie einfach sagen können, dass wir einfach nicht unter der NDA sagen können, dass wir gerne sagen können, aber wir wollen die Community sagen, dass wir nicht von den CSM für wollen. Dass wir jetzt able, zu beurteilen, was wir tatsächlich tun, was die Fokus ist, was die Hoffnung, warum diese Veränderungen sind. Es gibt so viel mehr Kommentar in den Patch Notes, und das ist ein MASSIVELY Appreciated change.

01:01:56 Just more of that. We want to show how effective we are, and we want to show the community that CCP is actually interested in making this game great, and they are listening to us.

01:02:07 Ja, CSM19 haben wir sehr effektiviert, eine sehr viel Erfolg von CSM18 und die früheren CSMs haben. Aber Sie sind auf CSM19, als wir bereits überlegt haben. Warum wollen Sie das wiederholen? Warum wollen Sie weitergehen? Was ist das inspiriert?

01:02:32 One of the big things that is inspiring to a lot of us on the previous CSM is just how effective we felt and how much we got done. I talked a second ago about all the small quality of life changes we got through.

01:02:48 Ich glaube, es ist auch sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

01:03:16 We're working together incredibly well, and we have this mutual endorsement. This is why we were trying to get all our interviews today lined up together as well, just to talk a little bit about how effective we've been. I think you guys are doing a great job of that separately.

01:03:38 So, you've already gone through a couple of people you enjoy working with. Obviously, I'm not going to ask you about who on CSM19 you'd want to see again, but from the candidates that are running this year, all other 55 minus the incumbents, who would you like to serve with, who would you like to work with?

01:03:59 I have three candidates that I particularly would like to work with, and for different reasons, all of whom I've spoken to quite a bit. Those are Kushal Eideron, who is great at advocating for new players as well. I could use some help in having somebody have my back there. Rotz Mineworker.

01:04:24 Ich habe mit ihm gesprochen, und ich habe mit ihm spieden. Ich habe ihn mit ihm spieden, was auch Spaß gemacht hat. Ich habe ihn mit ihm sein. Und Sven Bauer, der auch bringt großartige Diskussionen, und ich denke, erinnert sich über die Zukunft der EVE viel, und erinnert mich sehr, wie und wie ich denke, die Game könnte er verbessern.

01:04:53 We'll chat with Rotz a little bit later today and Sven Bauer has interview I think tomorrow afternoon somewhere around when we go live at 1400 so people can hear more from them as well and kind of understand why you made these decisions for you know why they seem like good people to work with.

01:05:14 Speaking of which, when it comes to communication, CSM19, I think I've been really good about this, communicating with players. But for those who don't know Dujek or don't know anyone on CSM19, can you tell us a little bit about how you communicate back to the players?

01:05:36 I do most of it through Discord. It's just an easy way to get a hold of me, although I do respond if I get a message on the forums or in-game or in any other way that people would like to get a hold of me.

01:05:52 Ich habe mich über die Terme auf CSM gesucht, um über verschiedene Aspekte von EVE zu sprechen. Ich habe das vorhin, um CSM zu hören. Ich habe das vorhin, nicht nur während der Campagne-Seite. Aber ich habe das sehr. Und dieses Jahr habe ich auch, und ich habe auch geholfen, zwei verschiedene Allianzen und Gruppen in der Spiel. Und ich habe auf ihre Discord- und gesprochen mit ihren Mitgliedern.

01:06:19 Ich habe einen großen Sprengschnitt von jeder Frage gestellt, oder jeder Suggestion, oder was. Und wenn ich wiederholfen, dann gehen sie in eine Grafik, so ich kann sehen, wie frequent sie sind. Und ich habe das an die Devs an CCP gezeigt, und es hilft, dass ich eine Numbers-Background hier habe, wo ich sagen...

01:06:44 This is not just a one-off thing. This is a popular thing that players want. Can we find some time to discuss what that would mean and find a time to actually develop this and put it into the game in some way that the devs would like to do? It's very appropriate that you have a spreadsheet for your CSM. Yeah. How very Eve of you.

01:07:09 Spreadsheets are life. True that. So we chatted a bit about this before your interview started and I know you have your answer ready. So here it comes. Can you describe yourself in three words?

01:07:21 I would say active, outgoing, and patient. I like going out there and talking to people. I play perhaps a little bit more even than any one player should, but it's something that I can do throughout the day in small bursts and then a little bit more in the evening. I genuinely like talking to people.

01:07:46 Ich kriege viele Leute aus meinem Allianz und viele Leute in meinem Allianz über die going Sonne und Yves. Und ich teach classes und instructe neue Spieler und all die Dinge, die ich überrascht. Und wenn mit neuen Spielern, ein patience ist. Es dauert lange. Some diese Diskussionen sind quick und some...

01:08:14 Es dauert ein paar Wochen, als sie wiederholfen und zurückkommen zu können und haben weitere Fragen. Speaking of Fragen, wir sind aus dem Zeitpunkt. Wir sind aus dem Zeitpunkt. Die 10 Minuten immer so schnell gehen. Before Sie gehen, ist es noch etwas, was Sie sagen, was Sie mit den Leuten, die Sie mit den Leuten zu hören können, wie sie mehr über Dujek als Kandidaten für CSM 20?

Gideon's Background and Media Presence

01:08:41

01:08:41 On the forums, I have a list of all my media appearances and my policy, and I'm putting out a big FAQ today, or not FAQ, but an asked question. Somebody reached out to me with a laundry list of questions they wanted of me as a candidate, and I've been doing a write-up for that. But you can find me on the Federation Frontline Report, on Kashal's interview series, on Shadsquatch's interview series, on the Declarations of War podcast, on Lorimerth's...

01:09:11 Twitch channel on Oz, which was just an hour ago, Eve Uni, and if you're an alliance that I've gone and talked to or want me to come and talk to you in your alliance, I'd be happy to do so. Right on. Well, thank you so much, Dujek. Appreciate it. It seems to be Luby and I will be right back with our next candidate just momentarily, so don't go anywhere. Thank you, Dujek. Thanks for having me.

01:13:21 Welcome back, everyone. I hope you're not tired of CCP Swift and myself yet. And if you are tired of us, then luckily we have a brand new candidate for you. Gideon, say hi. Hi, community. How are you doing? I'm doing great. And I think most of you have seen me before. If you watched the CSM interviews before, I usually interact with the community. Most of you maybe have seen me on a Skyhawk in Nelsak at the moment, stealing your goodies and trying to fight over the goodies.

01:13:49 So most of you have also interacted directly with me in a spaceship.

Gideon's CSM Platform: Power Projection and Balance

01:13:54

01:13:54 Das ist ein sehr guter Start, ehrlich gesagt. Für diejenigen, die nicht mit dir mit dir in-game sind, wer bist du und was ist dein Background in EVE? Was machst du? Ich habe angefangen in ProviBlog, wie viele von uns waren, als wir noch immer noch in der No Blue Shoot Instantly. Sorry, NPSI, sorry, nicht NPSI. Du könnt in der Space gehen, wenn du neutral bist. Sie haben Cost Checkers, sie checken, ob die Leute sie schon before, sie nur aggressiv.

01:14:23 People that were aggressive to them before. That sadly is no longer the case. That policy doesn't exist anymore. Then I went to legacy FC and legacy up to the highest level within the Alliance of Evictus. And then later on, I went back to Providence, this time on the opposing side of the probably block itself. I have seat for wrecking crew and helped with the Alliance of the rogue consortium invading probably Providence for maybe the seventh time at that point.

01:14:51 And now, these days, I no longer FC for Blocks. I'm currently in Pharah. I FC a small group called D-Sync from Pharah. And we go on deployments, we help other alliances if we see that the content is fun. Last year, for example, we went with Boss into Omist and helped the Boss invade Omist against Holt-Mail-Probes. I FC for Spectre Fleet sometimes or other NPSI groups. Or we do our own thing from Pharah.

01:15:22 Very cool. One of the Thera boys in the flesh. Really cool to just see how people use that system and systems similar like Turner, a lot of wormhole connections there, lots of roaming around. I always like to use Thera as just like my shortcut machine, but then sometimes I die. So it's not the best shortcut for me if I'm not like paying attention. I'm not sorry. Nor should you be. Honest to the core.

01:15:52 So, I can...

01:16:17 Pull like three years to four years at this point when anti plexus by introduced, I already pointed out that them being fatigueless is gonna lead to a centralization in the blocks. And I made a blog post with the involvement of the real fraternity with FCs from all backgrounds from Horder from in it. And we made a collective post and Reddit that you can see my CSM campaign post where I pointed out the issues that they are going to have in the long run and

01:16:43 Since then, I think the issue has been very, very prevalent. We can see the effects right now in EVE. If you take a coalition influence map, there are only four blocks left, and there's 1.5 regions that are currently not controlled by blocks, and that is Quarius and half of Delph. The rest is completely in blockhands right now. There are no medium-sized alliances, and I think that issue is so glaring and so obvious, and it's undeniable at this point, that I think there is some desperate need for fixing, and I ran on that.

01:17:12 The last few times that I ran for CSM and I think the issue is just so glaringly obvious that it's no longer reliable at this point that there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

01:17:24 All right, so one of the main proponents or one of the main tenants of your campaign obviously is like NullSec, force projection, consolidation of power. What are some other like areas that you represent or things that you like want people to know about you? As I'm somebody that talks solo or FC Small Gang, I obviously have a background of balance. I can give good input and balance and some things that I would like to see changed.

Gideon's Strategy and Communication

01:17:53

01:17:53 For example, there's a lot of short-range gun systems that will never be used in a scale higher than five usually. When is the last time somebody saw torpedo Ravens on a big fleet setting? When is the last time somebody saw blaster megaphones, not just used as a beam, but as a weapons platform? I think there's a lot of balancing issues currently that usually long-range gun systems and some changes that were done in the past years lead to them overwhelmingly overshadding all other gun systems. I think there is a...

01:18:22 There's a balance to be had where some of the, not just projection in the sense of NC plexus, but projection on grid could be in a healthier state. So more gun systems, neutralizers and systems like these have more of an impact on a larger scale.

01:18:38 All right, so these points that you're bringing up now, should you get elected? How do you plan on building support for these? Just like I did with the Ansiplex post, I will try to reach out to the community, try to reach a consensus and try to find a consensus from community members that people know and trust that they can give good feedback and trying to get a consensus across the community, getting these sorts of things done. And as I'm seeing right now that YoungPuke is going to be the next.

01:19:07 Er ist jetzt eine Losec-Discussion-Discord, die versucht zu erreichen, und das wäre mein Ansatz zu erreichen. Und das wäre mein Ansatz, auch zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden, um die Zusammenarbeit zu finden. Weil ich denke, wenn es nur mich auf einen CCP-Employee geht, das ist nicht mehr so, dass ich etwas tun kann. Aber wenn ich mich zeigen, dass ich 100 Menschen, die du kennenzulernen...

01:19:33 Ich denke, bei diesem Punkt, dass Ihr voice viel mehr als es ist, wenn es jetzt nur so ist. Sehr gut. Dass man Leute auf dich ab und einen Datapoint, wie viele CSM-Members, die in den Interviews haben, haben wir uns jetzt alle über. Das wird definitiv helfen.

01:19:54 You mentioned Discord quite a lot. Is Discord your main communication platform with the player base? Or can they find you other places? Discord is just the most convenient, the most easiest to approach. I usually can respond even if I'm on my smartphone and just on the run. It's just the simplest way to interact. Obviously the e-mails and stuff exist, but I'm not going to check that every day. But if somebody really wants to talk to me, I think the next few...

01:20:20 There's going to be a Town Hall and a Fleet with EP University that I'm going to be seeing as a Town Hall style Fleet. And there's also going to be a Town Hall that I'm going to do in the BlackRose server. They reached out to me and asked if I want to pitch my CSM campaign to the Discord as well. So if that happens, they will gladly pull you in, I guess. And you can ask questions there directly as well.

01:20:50 Right on, that's super accessible of you. It's nice to hear when people are able to go on to different shows and reach out to different player groups to, you know, just share what makes them want to run for CSM and like that EVE Online passion. Speaking of which, there are 55 other non-Gideon.

01:21:10 Und jetzt haben wir die CSM-20-Candidaten, für die election. Sind Sie da jemanden, dass Sie sich auf den CSM-20-Candidaten und sagen, hey, es wäre gut, wenn Sie auf den CSM-20-Candidaten sind, oder ich denke, dass Sie mich sehr gut mit Ihnen kommen?

01:21:24 We just had Drake hidden and the next one is going to be Young Puke. I would point those two out because I've already reached out to them. I wrote with them when there were changes that I didn't disagree with and they completely understood where I was coming from. They definitely responded to me in a very, very healthy way. And I would point to these two as people that you could reach out. They're very active and you will get the response and you will not just get a response. If they actually do support what you are saying, then they will push for what you're pointing out.

01:21:53 Very happy with those two. I'm just going to make the question slightly harder. If you had to pick again, but you cannot pick anyone who is currently on CSM19, who would you then pick? Poos Moos. I just did a podcast with him on the Untether podcast. No, not Untether, Untether is tomorrow. Declarations of War, I'm sorry. That's going to be released within the coming week. And I guess from the discussion we had there, you will see that...

01:22:23 There's a lot of common ground to the issues that I want to see addressed. Great answer. Besides these podcasts that you just mentioned now and the EVE Uni, did you have any others on your list where you will be appearing?

01:22:37 Ich habe es gesagt, dass es morgen wird. Es wird hier auf Twitch sein, so es ist es. Just search for es. Es wird bei Pusimus und Phantomite werden, wie gesagt. Und ja, wir sehen, wie es da geht. All right, und ich glaube, Declarations of War kommt bald nächste Woche, right? Yes. All right, so if you want to learn more about Gindian as a CSM candidate, those are the shows you have to keep an eye out for.

01:23:05 Or, you know, go over to the forums and check out his campaign thread. For now, we are running out of time and we'll have to call this interview quits really soon. Any closing remarks from you, Gideon? CCP fix NC Plexus.

01:23:21 Increase the range of Anzablexes. Heard loud and clear, Gideon. Just kidding, of course. Well, great, as Lumi was saying, great chatting with you. Looking forward to the rest of the CSM campaign and hearing more from you and other incredibly talented candidates. For now, CCB Lumi and I will go to a short break where we get YoungPugh2 ready for his close-up and we'll be back in just a couple minutes.

01:29:07 Hallo, ich bin current CSM-Member YoungPuke II. Ich bin nur joking.

01:29:34 Aber ich bin für CSM 20 und freue mich zu sein. Vielen Dank für mich. Well, since you brought it up, why are you the second and not the first? I don't even know. This is why I think it ties into an important thing. Some people really want name changes, and one day the pain of being called YoungPuke 2 will change. I made it when I was 12. I only hope for you.

01:30:01 Thank you so much. Maybe E-players will be like, no, we have to keep it in there so we continue the pain and suffering.

01:30:09 Pain and Suffering is part of playing EVE. Of course, of course. But that is going way off topic of this interview stream. So you had a great first term at CSM19. Can you tell us a bit about why you are running again for CSM20? Fantastic question. Specifically, I think this past year we just moved the needle a little bit forward with the various other ecosystems. However, you know, after talking to 40 plus alliances so far during my campaign period,

YoungPuke II's Re-election Platform

01:30:39

01:30:39 There is a massive pain that is being experienced amongst small to medium scale groups. These groups are dying. They're not as sufficient. They're basically being forced to join to big groups or die. And I really think there's a lack of diversity of groups right now across New Eden. You have four big blocks, you have six big low-set groups, and a couple big wormhole groups. But where's the small spunky alliances that are doing cool things in the game?

01:31:07 They're just not there anymore, right? Like, where are these stories? Where's, like, the Voltas or the Skilyus, you know, or the Lumpys or, you know, like, all these groups that used to really exist?

01:31:18 Und sie sind einfach nicht mehr. Und ich denke, das ist ein Problem. Und ich habe eine sehr große Reddit-Post darüber gesprochen. Und da ist viel Druck auf diese Allianz. Und ich möchte diese Ecosysteme verbessern, so wir sehen mehr Wormhole Groups, mehr Low-Sec Groups, mehr Null-Low-Sec Groups. Und bei eliminieren Barrieren zu Content Generation und Barrieren zu creating diese Allianz. Es ist so viel Arbeit. Und es ist so viel Arbeit. Und es ist so eine Part-Time-Job. Wie können wir es einfacher für diese Groups zu eigentlich existieren?

01:31:45 Das ist das ich wirklich, was ich in den nächsten Jahren fokussiere. Sehr passionate, indeed. Ich werde auf eine wild guess gehen und sagen, dass ich dich in drei Worten beschreibe, dass passionate sein wird. Aber ich höre Ihre drei Worten. Ihr ist ein Mindreader. Ich sage Community-Driven. Ich denke, das ist, dass ich eine wirklich Community-Driven approach mache.

01:32:07 Ich rune zwei Fokus-Gruppen, eine Losec-Fokus-Gruppe und eine Faktion-Warfare-Fokus-Gruppe. Wir haben das jetzt für drei Jahre in total, auf Faktion-Warfare und Losec-Gruppe. Ich wurde eine der Fokus-Gruppe für die Uprising-Expansion, dann wurde ich eine der CSM-Gruppe für CSM-19-Gruppe. Und wenn ich nicht re-Elektet werde, das ist etwas, was ich immer wieder tun. Denn das ist der einzige Weg, dass wir unsere V voices hören können, wenn wir zusammenarbeiten. Die größeren Gruppen können einfach jemanden in-Vote.

01:32:36 The only way that we can get heard is we coalesce around certain candidates and actually put a platform forward that we mostly agree on. And that's why we make these consensus statements and show to you guys, hey, this is what we want. And it's led to change and iteration. And I just want to continuously do that so we can get more stuff done. And so the second area obviously is very passionate. And the third one definitely would be

01:33:03 Collaborative. I like to work with my colleagues on the CSM. I like to work with the people online. I always like to ask questions, learn more, be open-minded, have a dialogue with someone, and find the best path forward. And I think those three factors make me a pre-Productive CSM member. You are no doubt a Productive CSM member. Those were three words, but there were some several words between those three words.

01:33:30 Okay, so this is a running joke in my alliance called Sedition, got some rep.

01:33:58 And basically, they think I look like Rooster from Top Gun. So this Halloween, my wife and I are dressing up as Top Gun characters. And we're all pilots. And I'm really ashamed that only Poos Moose decided to show some Halloween spirit this election season by dyeing his hair orange. Good job for Poos Moose. But nobody else. Come on. You're running for a video game console. Show some spirit. Come on. Have some fun.

01:34:24 Halloween is in two weeks, by the way. Halloween is in two weeks. Yeah, that's the costume. Yeah, but we could still show some fun two weeks early. Yeah, no, I hope that you do every time there's a CSI meeting, I hope there's a new look, a new style that we can marvel at. Patients are very high right now. Just saying.

01:34:47 So, going back on kind of a serious note, sorry to sidetrack us. I know we only have a very limited time. Not really fair of me to do that. But, you know, when you talk about CSM19 and, you know, the collaboration that you guys have done together and worked together, there are some amazing candidates running for CSM20. If you had to pick one of them to be on CSM20 with, that's not already on CSM19.

01:35:13 Ja, ja, ja, das ist ja.

01:35:32 Obviously, my homeboy, Kreatinos. I think he's been around all areas of space. He's been passionate. He's thoughtful. He's calculative. That's what he said his adjectives were. And I think Kreatinos is excellent. Pusmoos is another. Kashal is the third. They would be, even if they don't get top ten, they're wonderful opportunities for selectees. That would be my selectee choice as well.

01:35:59 Das war so schnell, so decisive, so compact. Das war wirklich gut. Ja, das war wirklich gut. Und ja, wir hörte von Krenos hier. Wir hörte von Kaschal hier, und Piusmoos. So, wenn du nicht von den Verlangen hast, kannst du zurück in die VOD nachdem, nachdem du sie sind. Und figure out warum YungPuke2 denkt sie so cool und so important zu arbeiten.

01:36:30 Sie bringen eine wirklich gute Diversität zu der CSM, die sich in der Vergangenheit war, bevor Selectees waren, und ich denke, sie bringen würden eine gut-rundetige Voice, die drei.

01:36:43 All right, so I want to dive a bit into your experience on the CSM so far. You've worked with CCP for a year now. You have some experience with how we do things. If you could pick one thing, and one thing only, that you could change about the CSM that you think will result in better collaboration between CCP, the CSM, and players, what would it be? That's a great question, CCP Lumi. Well, thank you. I think the most important...

Kenneth Feld's CSM Vision and Experience

01:37:12

01:37:12 Ich denke, wir wählen 9 und wählen 3. Ich denke, das würde dann die drei andere Ecosysteme zu haben, eine mehr wichtige Rolle, und es würde die CCP zu haben mehr Flexibilität in ihre Selectee-Seite. Ich denke, was passiert in den letzten zwei Jahren, ist, dass eine der drei kleiner Ecosystems in die Top-Nine ist.

01:37:38 Und dann, ich denke, das wird dann auch mehr Flexibilität in Ihres Choices. Vielleicht ist es ein High-Secker, das hat sich in den letzten CSM-Term. Vielleicht ist es eine andere Wormhole, oder vielleicht ist es ein Low-Class Wormhole, oder ein High-Class Wormhole. Vielleicht ist es ein Low-Secker, das nicht in eine große Gruppe ist, aber es ist ein Crabbing-Low-Secker. Sehr rare, ich weiß. Aber das würde wirklich, wirklich gut machen, dass es passieren würde, zu machen, sozusagen.

01:38:02 So more diversity on the CSM. That's always something we strive for. One way that we can do this and one way that others can do this is through voting. The more people who vote, the more diverse candidate pool we get. And there are some really amazing candidates this year, as there are every year. We talk about how this is one of the most fun moments of the year for us at CCP because we get to see the passion from our players and just get in.

01:38:28 Ich möchte jetzt einen Blick auf ihre Version von EVE Online, weil es so viele verschiedene Version von EVE gibt.

01:38:34 But real quick, we're nearing the end of our time. If people want to hear more about Young Pew 2, where can they do that? Possibly even after this show is over. Ooh, good hint. So I'm going to be going on the Meta Show, guys, after this. And ladies, guys and lads, or ladies and gentlemen, after this, right now. So if you want to hop over to the Meta Show, feel free.

01:39:01 But stay and listen to other candidates as well. Have two Twitch streams up.

01:39:06 Aber wenn Sie mehr von mir haben, was ich sagen möchte, ich habe einen sehr großen Reddit-Post recently. Das war ziemlich viral über die Probleme, oder Sie können auf Untethered, Decorations of War, Föderation Frontline, Thaws, ich bin auf multiple times, Loru, ich war auf dieses Woche, und Shatsquatch, auch. Und ich werde mehr auf die Meta-Show gehen.

01:39:33 Und wenn du zu den Meta-Show gehen kannst, du hast zwei Ehrer. Du kannst zwei Sachen hören. Das ist wie die Dinge sind. Vielleicht. Vielleicht. Ich glaube. Wir werden es quits. Ihr 10 Minuten sind über, Sir. Vielen Dank für Ihr Zeit. Und gut auf den Meta-Show. Danke. See you later.

01:43:44 Willkommen zurück. Once again, we've brought a current CSM19 member with us. Say hi to Kenneth Feld. Kenneth, how are you doing? I'm doing great. Happy to be here. We're super glad to have you here. So for those that don't know you, however, can you please introduce yourself and your background in EVE?

01:44:08 Ich bin Kenneth Feld. Ich bin jetzt in Pandemic Legion. Ich weiß nicht, wie lange ich hier bin. Probably 15 Jahre, 13 Jahre, in PL. Ich bin jetzt auf Probation, ich denke. After die ersten Jahre, dann wird man auf Probation. Aber ich habe, glaube ich, schon seit es begann, über 20 Jahre.

01:44:36 Ich habe nicht viel zu spielen, weil ich nicht ein Mac-Client habe und ich habe eine Steadie-Connexion. Aber dann, über drei oder vier Jahre, habe ich schon immer mehr spielen. Ich denke, es hat sich schon ungefähr 13 Jahre alt in PL gemacht. Das ist die Average Zeit für ein PL-Member.

01:44:56 Just off of probation. You're also a member of CSM19, as Cizu Illumi was saying earlier on. So what brings you back? Why are you throwing your hat into the ring for CSM20?

01:45:10 Um, well, I don't think we can say because I don't think we've said what the next couple expansions are about. So I've always said that I would run if it was something, you know, in my wheelhouse type thing. And if it ever got to the point where it wasn't, then I'm out. You know, I'm not the guy to sit there and talk about whether this blaster or that blaster or that whole bonus is better.

01:45:39 Das ist nicht es. Ich erzähle dir, wie viel es kostet und wie viel es ist, aber ich bin nicht der Typ, ob die Demos ist besser als Thorax, die Hyperion, oder was. Ich bin nicht der Typ. Ihr hört es hier. Dank Leaks. Die nächsten paar expansions werden die Parts von EVE Online. Leaks, aber es ist nicht eine Real Leak, wir wissen es.

01:46:11 Yep, they will be changing the game in the next few months and in about six, eight months after that and six months after that. There you go. I was just going to say that we're not asking you track questions here. So we're not going to talk about chip balancing. Instead, we will talk about your topics that you're running on a CSM. Can you give us like a high level overview?

01:46:42 It's kind of a little more of the same, but things have changed. Equinox basically threw a giant monkey wrench in all of Sov. It's still in its infancy. It used to be that all the systems pretty much had everything. Now you can only have a little bit in each system by the power and workforce. So we only have...

01:47:08 We've been adding upgrades almost every expansion or mini update to the expansion so far. I think there's still a lot of room to explore in there and figure out what other things can be added so that the players can craft their space to how they like. Can't talk about some of the things, but a couple of things that I've brought up that

01:47:37 We haven't really done much with whatever. It's like PI, being able to have systems that are a lot better at PI, that kind of stuff. There's still a lot of area there that we could discuss. The other thing is, and these were put in.

01:47:55 innocently to help the smaller groups, like the couple of guys that were before me as Metanox. But like anything else, the big groups said, hey, if that's good for the little guys, we'll scale it up and abuse the living snot out of it. And now it's not good for anybody. And CCP's had to increase the price to run them to the point now where it's not even really worth putting them on anything that's R16 and below.

01:48:23 So they've kind of outrun what they were meant for and those that they were to help. And they pretty much only helped the big guys. I've put forth quite a few ways to help fix those. But again.

01:48:39 Ich weiß nicht, wie das wird, aber etwas muss sich ändern. Und das geht um die restlichen Ressourcen. Pyrite ist verrückt und Moongoo ist in der Tank, weil Metanox go brr, und ja, da ist nicht viel für jemanden. So, da ist noch viel balance da, um es zu machen.

01:49:04 Ja, es gibt viele Dinge, die wir in den Spiel haben.

01:49:31 We have an idea of how players are going to use it and how it's going to impact a very complicated economy. But, you know, sometimes players do it in different ways. Sometimes it kind of morphs into something else that's still amazing, but different from its intention. And we have to make some helpful tweaks along the way, which is one of the great rules of the CSM to get some feedback on, you know, exactly what's going on, how players are experiencing a mechanic or a feature and just how they're interacting with it.

Kenneth Feld's Candidate Endorsements

01:50:00

01:50:00 Speaking of the CSM, you've served on the CSM before. Looking forward at the CSM20 candidates, is there anyone from there that you've not worked with before, so who's currently not on CSM19, that you're looking forward to working with, or you think that would be a really good fit on the CSM? Well, two guys come to mind.

01:50:32 I've been around him enough. I like his values. I think he can bring a lot to the ship balance part of it. And now you said, no one I've worked with before. I was on CSF 18 with this guy, but he's not currently on 19 and that's angry. Cause angry and I can team up on, on people. He's a lot better with the, with the way.

01:50:58 I forget the name of that program where you can make the bar charts and stuff real easy. But he and I can deep dive into stuff and present it. And we had huge success on CSM18 with a lot of the industry changes undoing a lot of the mess that was forced on us in 2021. And I would really look forward to working with him on that kind of stuff again.

01:51:28 Ja, we'll actually hear from Angry Mustache a little bit later on today. He's, I think, our last interview of the day. We're filled with some amazing candidates in this stretch and the next ones that we have tomorrow as well. All right, so Kenneth, for people who have not heard of you before, which would honestly surprise me considering you've been around the blog in EVE for a bit now, can you describe yourself in three words?

01:51:59 The first word, industry focus, period, across the board, that's number one for me. Second one, experience both in the game and dealing with CCP.

01:52:17 Just learning the people's names, you know, because they don't, a lot of CCPers don't even know their CCP name or they forget them. So, you know, learning who people are, that kind of stuff takes a while. I have a live experience there. I helped, especially 20, we had so many new people get them onboarded, learning who.

01:52:42 To tell them who to talk to, that kind of stuff, really helps. And then the third thing, it's kind of a double word, but I'd say all in. I think I'm the first CSM member to ever join a CSM meeting from an airplane. Because that's how dedicated I was. Wi-Fi is a lot better now. You can actually play EVE while flying. You can't really undock and PVP.

01:53:10 Aber als für die Arbeit für die Arbeit und das andere Sachen, kann man absoluten machen es mit den neuen Airplänen und haben Starlink und so weiter. Ich denke, Drake hat auch gezeigt, dass man auch PVP kann, aber ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich es, weil er hat eine Connection loss, und es war sehr schwattig für einen Moment. Ja, ich meine, ich kann, aber...

01:53:33 Yes, you're going to suck at it. You know, it's just because you can doesn't mean you should. I guess it's a different way to look at it. Fair enough. All right. And well, on that note, it's also kind of time to close of this interview, but I'll give you one last sentence or two, or you can tell us all about your closing statement for this interview.

01:53:59 um something that i said when i ran for csm 15 in this closing you know if i could change one thing it was acl hangers i know going back to 2015 when the acl dev blog came out that it was never going to be a thing back then due to performance issues

01:54:26 I think it's time after a decade now to start pushing for that again. There's a lot more...

01:54:38 Just the way EVE has evolved, I think we can get to that point in time. There may be, you have to put some guardrails on it, that kind of stuff. But I really think that we can get there. Maybe not now, but that's something that we should work towards that goal for sure. Somewhere, CSB Karker and CSB Masterplan just went into a cold sweat thinking about getting ACL hangers to work.

01:55:07 Es ist etwas, das wir wissen, dass die Spieler wollen. Es wurde in die Little Things-Chats von FanFest, auch zu sagen. Es ist nicht ein Little-Thing. Aber eine Minute, die Hamsters werden können. Ex-CCP Paradox hat sich ein bisschen gezwungen, und er ist nicht ein Teil von CCP.

01:55:28 So, as Luby was saying, we're out of time, unfortunately, Kenneth. It was wonderful chatting with you. Real quick, have you been on any other shows or do you plan on being on any other shows in the future?

01:55:40 So, I have my weekly news show on Talking in Stations. Depending on what I have for internet, I haven't done it the past week or two, but I will be doing it tomorrow morning. I am going to move the time up so that I don't interfere with CSM interviews, and I'll end the show as interviews start. But that's the best place to find me, Talking in Stations Discord, the CSM Discord.

01:56:07 Und ich werde direkt von allen auf Discord beantragen, wenn du so bist. Vielen Dank, Kenneth. Lübe und ich sind gleich wieder mit der nächsten Kandidaten, die du gehört hast, Theoz. Ein kleiner Kandidaten, der nicht mehr streamt oder was. Aber wir werden wieder in ein paar Minuten. Danke, guys.

01:59:15 Willkommen zurück, alle. Wir sind fast halbwegs durch den streamen, aber wir werden bis jetzt um 11.00 Uhr oder EF-Ton. Für jetzt haben wir die OZ. OZ, say hello. Hi, chat. Hi, everyone. Hi, Lumi. Hi, Swift. Hallo. Wie geht ihr heute? Ich bin fantastisch. Ich habe ihr euch gearbeitet, und ich werde es hier in den streamen bringen, um meine Viewer zu bringen.

01:59:47 We definitely appreciate it. We almost hit 2000 viewers just now when you came in, so... Hello everyone! Alright, let's get going. Oz, can you introduce yourself to people that don't know you yet?

02:00:01 Ja, natürlich. Ich bin TheOz, ich bin EVE für 20-something Jahre. Ich habe immer ein Finanz-focusedes Spieler, sehr viel auf Trading und Markets und ein bisschen in Industrie. Ich habe angefangen, in den sehr earlyen Zeiten von EVE zu entwickeln, und habe versucht, einen Vorteil für mich. Und fünf Jahre später habe ich angefangen, EVE zu entwickeln, und so habe ich stopped.

02:00:25 Looking at the numbers going up and I just focused on sharing my knowledge, sharing spreadsheets and making sure that there is a good entry into the gameplay that I love, which is market trading. And all of that culminated now into now serving two terms on the CSM. And also, I never get tired of saying this, but representing EVE Online at the Microsoft Excel World Championship Finals.

02:00:53 by creating the case and then hosting it live in Las Vegas as well. Thank you guys. That is still actual goals. I know we joke about you being the spreadsheet game, but you made it come true for real. So you already mentioned you've done two terms on the CSM so far. What brings you back for your third term?

02:01:14 Ich denke, dass es auf der CSM zu sein ist, dass es so sehr speziell ist. Für das zu existieren, für uns zu spielen dieses Spiel zusammen und zu representieren die Spieler-Community in der CCP.

02:01:27 Talk with the devs, discuss with the devs, fight for something that you're passionate for, even flying out to Iceland and doing all these workshops. It's something extremely special. So I would be crazy to not go for a third term because it's been some of the best things that I've experienced. And so for me, it was absolutely clear that I would go back if I could find the time at all, which I was able to do. And also...

02:01:55 There are quite a few things that we're working on that I don't think are done. I mean, look at Metanox. I heard Kenneth talk about that right now, but, you know, look at Metanox, look at the price of supercapitals, look at the state of mining. Exploration is out of whack right now, I think. And so there are a lot of things that I just really want to continue working on. And some things just take so long to implement that a third term really isn't all that much.

02:02:22 Yeah, and sometimes, just so people don't think the wrong thing about you, sometimes CCP, we have a direction that we're going to go into and a fairly long plan, so we know when we're going to revisit something. So when Oz and other candidates say it takes a long time, it's not for a lack of their efforts. Sometimes it just takes us time to fit it into the parts of development where we want to address things.

02:02:47 But yeah, to your point about the CSM, I think it's super cool too. Brought a mini tear to my eye. I love the CSM as an institution. As a player, I was on the CSM. I thought it was the coolest thing at the time. And I am so honored to be here with CZB Lumi to chat with 56 amazing CSM candidates for now the 20th iteration of this crazy thing that we call the CSM. Kind of on that note,

02:03:15 We were talking about this to some of the other candidates and some of the other incumbents who are looking for re-election. Of the many people who are running for CSM20 that you haven't served with yet, or rather, since Kenneth caught me off guard with this one, for people who aren't on CSM19, is there anyone in the candidate pool that you're kind of looking forward to working with or wanting to work with, someone that you think would complement your skill set really well or just vibe with the CSM as a whole?

TheOz's Candidate Preferences and Role Awareness

02:03:46

02:03:46 Ja, ich denke, sehr wenigstens für die Leute. Eine ist Cashal, ich habe mit ihr gearbeitet mit CSM 18, aber ich denke, sie hat eine gute Arbeit an den neuen Spieler, und ich denke, es ist eine Gruppe, die sehr unterrepräsentiert sind, so ich hoffe, dass sie es zurückkommt, und ich würde gerne mit ihr mit ihr wiederholen. Und auch, unsurprisingly, ich habe mit Angry Mustache gearbeitet,

02:04:15 Ich habe ihn nicht nur analyse mit ihm, sondern auch an meinem Show. Ich liebe ihn mit ihm, und ich denke, er bringt viele gute Ideen zu dem Spiel, und viele Game-Knowledge. Und so, das sind die zwei, die ich gerne mit ihm möchte. Dann werde ich das Person beantworten und asken die Frage wieder einmal, aber dann eliminieren diejenigen, die du bereits mit auf dem CSM gespielt hast.

02:04:37 Von den Menschen, die bleiben. Ja, ich würde sagen, ThePewsMoose. Er ist einer der wenigen Spieler, die ich nicht direkt mitgebracht habe, aber ich habe interagiert, mitgebracht, mitgebracht und mitgebracht. Er hat mich als jemand sehr interessiert über das Spiel, und ich würde gerne sehen, was er kann. So ThePewsMoose.

02:05:06 Right on. A great endorsement from someone that's on the CSM already. Because yeah, you know what it takes to be on the CSM and what makes a cohesive group of players who can chat with CCP about all the crazy stuff that we want to work with.

02:05:21 So we know where your sphinx are. Is there an area of the game that you don't really do very much or is like that you would consider not necessarily a blind spot, but like maybe something that's not as strong as you are with like market prowess?

02:05:40 Ja, ich meine, ein Thema, das wir viel überlegen, wo ich manchmal ein Backseat bin, ist die Projektion. Ich werde nicht ein Person sagen, dass ich nicht sagen will, wie ich den Spiel spielen werde, wenn ich nicht in ihren Spiel teilnehme bin. Ich denke, da sind immer, in den letzten zwei Jahren, immer Spieler, die haben eine sehr große Meinung auf Projektion. Und ich denke,

02:06:09 Ich bringe meine generalen Meinung nach, wie ich denke...

02:06:14 The chances that little groups should have. You know, how much power is too much? How quick should people be able to travel around the galaxy? I have my opinions on these, but I do also trust other people there a lot. And I would not tell other people what to think about a topic that I'm not as directly involved in as them. So, you know, having said that, on the other hand...

02:06:41 When we're talking about economic implications, like ISSUPPLY, ISFAUCETS, Inflation and E4-9, I expect the same out of my other fellow CSMs to be also trusting me on that. I think in the past we've seen that happen for sure, where they just let you take the reins of the meeting and...

02:07:04 Was ist wichtig, was du da? Das hat sich schon gemacht. Für eine gute Idee, ich denke. All right, so in deinen Pass-to-CSM-Terms, du hast uns ein bisschen gekannt, du hast wie CCP funktioniert. Wenn du eine chose, was du in der CSM-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms-Terms?

02:07:32 Das ist ein bisschen ein Überraschung, aber wie ich gesagt habe, es dauert lange Zeit. Ich denke, manchmal 12 Monate ist eine sehr kurze Zeit, besonders wenn man dann noch mehr campaignen kann, das dauert sechs Wochen selbst. Und so das Gefühl, dass ein bisschen lame-duck CSM ein bisschen ist, kann nicht sein. Und so ich denke, dass ein 18 Monate Term ein sehr hilft.

02:08:00 Das ist eine super-neet-idee, eine wehre, eine wehre, eine wehre.

02:08:16 Whenever we try to look at reinvigorating the CSM, we're just keeping a bit of a moving target. And it does make sense now that we've moved back to the expansion cycle for a few years. We're used to that, these two expansions a year with two major updates between them. It makes sense to have people looking a little bit further ahead.

02:08:43 Just kind of talking about this a little bit, you talked about some of your time commitments and stuff. You have a very popular YouTube show and Twitch show. You do quite a lot. You even represent CSP Games and EVE Online at things like the Excel World Champions. The CSM, as you know, can be a really long commitment. How do you kind of balance that time that the CSM takes up and your general gameplay?

02:09:14 Ja, ich meine, Ironically, ich denke,

CSM-Verpflichtungen und persönliche Motivation

02:09:18

02:09:18 To nobody's surprise, being on the CSM also has meant that I can play the game a little bit less than before and also I can stream less than before. And there's a lot of stuff that I was doing before that I'm not doing anymore because I'm focusing all of my energy onto the CSM, like running Yves' largest investment fund that I was doing at the time. So I do work part time. I've literally taken time off of work to

02:09:48 Ich werde mehr Zeit mit EVE Online spenden, das zeigt, dass ich das, was ich für das. Und das ist das, was die Leute von mir erwarten können. Ich bin ein Profesional, das ist das, was ich mache. Und wenn ich wieder electe, werde ich das extrem sehr ernst nehmen und versuche es weiter. Und ja, das ist viel Zeit und Zeit, aber das ist das, was ich mache.

02:10:11 I think that is actually a perfect closing remark, which is great because we have already run out of time. As we keep saying, this goes by super fast. But Os, thank you so much for your time. We will go back to the holding screen for a couple of minutes and then we'll be right back with another interview. Thank you. Bye.

02:14:00 I was such a young lad filled with exuberance and hubris.

Arions Kandidatur: PvP-Hintergrund und Gemeinschaftsfokus

02:14:28

02:14:28 und ich hoffe, dass mein Team gewinnen würde. Wie hat das funktioniert? Es funktioniert gut. Wir haben die dubbe auf das. Aber mehr auf den Allianz tournament nächsten Woche. Wir sind voll in den CSM Interviews. Arion, für diejenigen, die nicht kennenlernen Sie, kann Sie sich vorstellen? Wer sind Sie? Und was ist Ihr Background in EVE? Arion ist ein Solo. Ich bin seit 2013. Ich bin in Highsec.

02:14:57 Build things up, built capital, moved to Nullstack after we kind of collapsed, and then learned I love PvP. And I flew with PL for numerous years. I've flown with CCP Swift back in the day when he was around there. Now I'm in Fashion Warfare, loving it with Mimitor Fleet Alliance.

02:15:16 We came across you not too long ago during the YUMWIC, and fun times were ahead. You brutally murdered me in cold blood, I will say that. This is unfortunately not a lie. So, why is now the time for you to run for CSM20?

02:15:34 I'm in a very good place to where I can dedicate a lot of time to this. Eve has literally saved my life with the folks and the time and the patience everyone's had with me and the things I've dealt with in real life. I spent months mining after some tragedy in my life and being with my folks in my corp that helped me get through that time. And I want to give back. I want to keep creating those moments like we did when we shot my dread. Those moments where I keep folks together and make this game great.

02:16:02 Das ist unglaublich. Wir sprechen über die Friendship Machine all die Zeit, aber es gibt viele, viele Formen und es ist immer sehr heartwarming zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören, zu hören. Das ist was EVE ist alles über, zu hören. Es ist wirklich, einfach zu hören, zu hören.

02:16:28 von der incredibly passionate Leute für CSM 20. Wir haben 55 andere amazing Kinder. Ist es jemand, dass du dich ausstattest, als jemand, oder jemand, du denkst du mit auf den CSM, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand, jemand.

02:16:51 Ich würde gerne arbeiten mit Kenneth. Ich war in P.O. mit ihm für ein bisschen. Wenn es Logistik-Based ist, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das, wenn man sich das.

02:17:22 Gut to hear. In-game violence, all good. While we're at the summit or while we're at meetings, we're all friends anyway. So, broadly speaking, or kind of high level, what are your topics that you are running for?

02:17:38 I'd like more events in the game. Every time there's an event going on, there's like 3k extra folks in there. I think with the Winter Event, we need to keep those major events happening, but I think we have room for a week smaller event, maybe a lore event. And it doesn't have to be a big Drifter, Potch event kind of lore event. It can be like take a character, move it along for a little bit, have folks interact with it, and take that event and move it around.

Spielerkommunikation und Diversitätsanspruch

02:18:04

02:18:04 Was me in the Faction of Warfare, or even PvP, I got pulled out of HighSec. I got my first PvP fight, and I was like, I don't get the shakes. I haven't gotten the shakes for something like that since I was in the military. You just don't get it anywhere else but Eve. Getting those events, getting folks out of their comfort zones is the key thing to getting folks out in space, which creates content for everybody.

02:18:27 Oh, no, keep going. Don't want to interrupt your flow.

02:18:57 Wenn Black Dreads get involved, it dampens the fight in a lot of ways. I think Cap Guns are meant for Cap Guns. Use the Hall Dreads with the Hall Guns. That's what they're meant for. I think if we can line that out and find a place for that, I think that will make the fights more intense and better for everybody.

02:19:14 Ja, und du Loseck-Guy hast du absoluter crazy mit den Dredd-Fights. Basically all year long. Es fühlt sich immer ein paar Wochen, da gibt es eine neue Trillion-Disk Dredd-Brawl. Das betrifft die Sedition, Snuffed, Minotaur Fleet Alliance, Shadow Cartel, so jemand in der da ist. Es ist schon so crazy. Es hat absolut viel Spaß zu sehen. Wir haben nur Blöderer Sotoyo in der Nähe.

02:19:40 Killed some dreads, had a fight on it. That stuff wouldn't happen without those events.

02:19:47 Und dann, natürlich, Faction Warfare Iteration. Da ist immer noch mehr für die Erhöhung. Ich denke, dass wir ein paar Dinge tun können. Ich denke, Faction Warfare muss sein, mehr Wartung. Wir müssen das, was das, was das, was das, was das, was das, was das, was das.

02:20:12 oder machen.

02:20:41 Und das ist eine große Bedeutung für viele Losec, die in den Militiaen sind.

02:20:52 So, you brought up many points that you're campaigning on. And as YoungPuke has no doubt told you about, in order to get stuff done on the CSM, you need to talk to people quite a lot. You need to build a support base for your ideas. How do you plan on communicating with the players should you get elected? Right now I've been bouncing to...

02:21:17 I've increased like 13 discords so far, so I'm bouncing between those. I've been on Shasquatch's podcast, which his Twitch was amazing, and then Slow Community Gaming. He allowed me to go in there and make some points, and of course you all. And then I'm attaching any videos I get to that to my forums post if you want more information on there. It's going to be there, and then I'm out in space. Talk to me. I am out there literally shooting anyone I can get my hands on. Shoot me. I'm not that hard to kill, y'all. I mean, CCP did it. It's easy.

02:21:44 I'm not sure if that says something bad about us, but we'll just close over that fact, because I believe that Federation Frontline Report also mentioned in the chat that you'll be appearing on their show, won't you? Oh, yes. See, we just finalized that. I'll be on there on Tuesday.

02:22:03 Plenty of spaces where people can learn more about you. On that same topic, learning more about you. For someone who doesn't know you, or who hasn't heard of you, or hasn't seen you in space, can you describe yourself in three words? Orion, not solo. The main point I say in low-sig is like, you never solo. It's like, I have friends. I mean, I'm solo sometimes. True friendship machine indeed.

02:22:36 Ja, nur weil es Solo in deinem Namen gibt, kann man nicht alleine sein werden. Es ist einfach nur ein Name. Oh ja, wenn ich meine Tyrannus gehe, ich bin immer noch mit der Top 10 in der Zeit. Aber wenn ich mich in Tyrannus gehe, ich gehe in den Top 10. Aber wenn ich mich in Tyrannus gehe, ich gehe in den Top 10. Ich mache mir ein paar notes hier. Ich wollte gerade sehen, was die Top 10 Tyrannus Piloten waren. Aber ich kann das nicht, wenn wir nicht an Amazing Candidate zu chatten.

02:23:05 So we are slightly running out of time again. Oh no. Do you have any closing remarks that you want to address before we conclude this interview? Thank you all for this time. My Alliance believes we love this game. Get out there, undock, do the thing. Mimitar for the Alliance, min mil, best mil.

02:23:28 Indeed. And also, yeah, shout out to the Minn Vitaar Fleet Alliance. You guys have some of the best propaganda out there. It's always fun to see you guys shaking up space, having fun. And yeah, it's good to see someone from Minn Vitaar Fleet Alliance also running for the CSM. So that is super cool in our book.

02:23:49 Thank you guys so much. Right on. So CCP, Lumi and I will be right back. Don't go anywhere. We've got some more amazing candidates to chat with. So yeah, we'll be back in just like two or three minutes. Hang out. Go crazy in Twitch chat while we're gone. It's fine. It'll be great.

College Kid: Frische Perspektiven und Kommunikationspläne

02:28:20

02:28:20 Welcome back, everyone. More CSM interviews still. This time we've brought along College Kid. Can you please introduce yourself? Tell us a little bit about yourself. I'm College Kid. Started EVE back in mid-2000s. Started out with a low-level character and as time progressed, moved into a different character and have had alts throughout.

02:28:44 Ich habe mich in viele verschiedene Aspekte von EVE in meinen Jahren, von Low-Sec zu Null-Sec, High-Sec, Wardex, Piracy, all over dem Ort. Ich bin sehr community-generatet, so ich ging wo die Community war und liebte jede Minute, ich kann sagen. Und du hast gesagt, du hast schon seit der Mitte des 2000s, also du hast schon seit dem Block ein paar Mal in EVE. Warum ist jetzt die Zeit, dass du für CSM bist?

02:29:14 Stability in my life, decent job, hours are aligned where I can actually designate time to take care of the things that I need to. Family life's calmed down, kids have grown up, they're doing their thing. So it's just, I have more time on my hands than I know what to do with. So it definitely would come in handy to have an awesome project.

02:29:40 Das ist wirklich großartig, weil wir ein bisschen mit anderen Kandidaten diskutieren können, aber CSM kann ein ziemliches Wettbewerb sein. Für einige Leute sind es um 20 Stunden per Woche, aber das ist wirklich was du selbst.

02:29:54 Do you think you can handle that commitment, considering you said you have some time on your hands? Oh, most assuredly. I do also work third shift, so it's the graveyard shift. I have a lot of time on my hands there. I have a lot of time on my hands throughout the day as well. So definitely have more than enough time to take care of concerns and to talk with people.

02:30:17 Oh, sorry. I always do this, especially towards the end of talking over. But they say, just don't bring attention to it. And that's exactly what I did. College kid, when we're talking about communication and on the CSM, you hinted at a little bit, but it plays a really big role. Should you get elected? How do you plan on kind of chatting with the people who voted for you or are interested in kind of what's going on with the CSM?

02:30:47 A lot of different things. First things first, I have a Reddit posting that went up today. I have my forum posting for CSM20. Later on as time progresses and I know what I'm allowed to do and what to say and how to interact, we have a Twitch stream that will start going up. And information that is allowed to be given out will be given out. We can hear people's concerns in chat. They can actually get live interaction from there.

02:31:16 As time progresses, probably incorporate Discord, but definitely want to feel that out just so that I can play the game as well as also communicate.

02:31:29 Ja, right on. Being connected with the game is super important. It's what kind of gives people a bit of credo going into their CSM campaigns and kind of keeps them connected throughout the entire term to make sure that they still have those communication pathways and experience with the game. You never want to see that have to fall by the wayside.

02:31:54 Like we were talking about before, there are a ton of other CSM candidates that are running. 55, in fact. 55 is considered a ton. You've heard it here first. Of those 55 other candidates, is there anyone that kind of stands out to you as someone that you would love to work with, someone that you think would maybe complement your skill set? It doesn't have to be someone who's super similar to you, but complementary could be someone who makes up for an area of...

02:32:23 Ich würde definitiv gehen mit Viola Terra. Und dann habe ich Kaschala Daran. Ich weiß, du hast einen. Aber das sind die zwei, die mit dem ich möchte. Obviamente, da sind viele andere, dass ihre Punkte von mir definitiv sind. Ich denke.

02:32:53 Staying on the topic of other CSM candidates and yourself for a little bit. What distinguishes you from all our other candidates? And how do you set yourself apart?

02:33:06 I'm a blank slate. I would definitely be coming into it a little bit like a deer in the headlights in the beginning, I'm sure. But once I was able to get my feet established, I do believe that fresh eyes with no pre-planned projects or any pre-aligned motivation will definitely come in handy. And with a lot of the views that will be expressed for the CSM,

02:33:35 I think that maybe some of them that have been on term for a lengthy amount of time might just, they have their projects that they're focused on, and that's kind of what they're set on going with. Alright, and could you also describe yourself in three words so people can get to know you even better? Motivated, open, new ideas, so on, and then imaginative, different ideas being brought up.

02:34:10 I saw CCPSWF do some finger counting there. Are we good? She checks out. It is in fact 3. Really well thought out as well. These moments are always hard to try and figure out what you want to say in them. But yeah, I like it. It's always fun. No one's memed super hard yet, which just goes to show how seriously people take running for the CSM. And we greatly appreciate it as well.

02:34:44 So we talked a little bit about your strengths and the freshness that you want to bring to the CSM. Those are in very much ways strengths. Is there anything within the game and within things that you know that are important in the community that you might not be super strong in, that you need a little bit of support in maybe, or are you just a super pilot in every aspect?

02:35:12 I would say I'm a pilot that is familiar with everything, a master of absolutely nothing except flapping my jaw. Definitely PvE content such along the lines of incursions, large fleet and stuff that way. And large fleet PvP. Definitely been a participant in large scale PvP.

02:35:37 But by no means an expert, no means a seasoned, battle-hardened veteran where I've been through thousands of encounters whatsoever. So I think that learning the large-scale side of things would definitely be educational. And then I would also say that playing the market.

02:35:58 The spreadsheet game. I'm not 100% up on that. So definitely learning the ins and outs and the flows that people see within the market and the game behind that would be beneficial.

02:36:12 Luckily, we already have some really good candidates who specialize just in that. One we've just talked to not too long ago, Dios, for example. But on your campaign, should you get elected? Besides Reddit, how do you plan on getting and building the support for your ideas? Because as many a CSM member has said before, having a base and people backing you is super important to get things done.

02:36:42 How do you plan on doing that?

02:36:45 Right now, I'm still reaching out to some communities. I've had some communities that I've linked up with that I haven't had a chance to chat with. But with my openness, I think by reaching out and having the structured conversations with them, I'll be able to get into the general populace, at which time I can open up more avenues of connection and communication with the members of those groups.

02:37:14 I definitely want to go for the members as opposed to just targeting a select pool of leadership and just getting leadership's opinion. I want to get the solo player who gets on just before downtime and gets off two hours later. I also want to get the person that gets on Saturday and hangs out with the buddies and goes out for beer fleets. Definitely want their opinion for small gang.

02:37:42 definitely talk to Alliance leaders so I can also get the opinion of large-scale things so I can literally try and be part of the community not just target one person or one small group

02:37:56 Right on. Yeah, the CSM is definitely all about, EVE Online for that matter, is definitely all about diversity. There's a ton of different play styles. All of them are incredibly valid and ones that we need to kind of keep in mind whenever we do anything relating to balance or adding new features and stuff like that. So a very important skill set to have. CollegeGate, I hate to say this, but we're running out of time.

02:38:20 But before we send you off back to owning spaceships, do you have any last words? Any final thoughts that we didn't get Ridley to touch on yet?

02:38:32 I would just say that I do want to increase the solo player's experience that goes for an individual that has eight characters and an individual that has one character. I want to kind of see Eve be that adventure that we used to have where you didn't know what the next person was going to do instead of it kind of being a forecasted, oh, well, this happened last year.

02:39:01 So, yeah, I don't think I'll bother getting on because there's no point. I kind of want to see that unknown aspect to come back like we had in the mid 2000s and early teens. Right on. Well, appreciate the chat. Always good to hear from candidates. Thank you so much, College Kid. We are going to go on a quick break while we bring out our next candidate. So don't go anywhere and we'll see you real soon.

02:43:56 Welcome back, everyone. We have two more interviews to go tonight, one of which is with Rotz Meinwerker, just summoning my inner Dutch girl for the rolling R's there. Rotz, how are you doing? I'm good. How are you? Doing great. So, let's kick this off. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you do in EVE?

Rotz Meinwerker: Community-Fokus und CSM-Reformvorschläge

02:44:21

02:44:21 Ich bin Rotzmineworker, ich lege die Allianz aus der blue und wir sind ein NullSec Allianz in der Imperium und ich bin auf eine Plattform über Community und Small und Medium Allianz. Wir sind nicht immer in der Imperium, aber ich wirklich kenne über viele verschiedene Dinge in EVE. Ja, das ist mir in eine Nutschelle.

02:44:45 All right, I'll just go straight in and ask you to expand a little bit more on those topics you already mentioned real quick just now.

02:44:54 Yeah, I think for me, it's about anything that generates community in EVE online. And anyone, anywhere in EVE can enjoy the benefits of things that make things easier for communities to come together. I think that is a lot of my platform. I'm also a big fan of storytelling. I'd love to see missions looked at. I'd love to see stories.

02:45:20 Ich würde gerne sehen, dass die RISK und die Reward erhöht werden. Aber für mich ist es wirklich, wie die Small- und Medium-Sizeden Gemeinschafts wiederkommen. Wie können wir weitergehen? Wie können wir ein Spiel- und Spiel- und Spiel- und haben Spaß? Wie können wir weitergehen? Wie können wir das? Und das ist wirklich was ich.

02:45:48 Oh, sorry, I'll let you go. We're getting too late at the end of the day and we're talking over each other more and more, but I was just going to follow up on that one. You've got experience with a couple of things, but what is the area, not necessarily area in-game, but like playstyle or game style that you have the least experience with?

02:46:09 I am not a wormhole candidate. I love y'all, but I am very bad in wormholes. I'm not devout or skilled enough to do it, and my ADHD is not conducive to wormhole life. But Mick Fightmaster is the person I would pick to represent you, and I will listen to anything he says in the entire world because he's a smart dude.

02:46:36 But it kind of jumps into the next question, but we'll remove Mick from the equation real quick. There are 55 other candidates running for CSM20. Of those who, besides Mick, because you already answered that one, do you think you would synergize really well with, that you would get along well with, or who would complement your knowledge base really well?

02:47:02 There's a few. I actually just did an interview with them on Imperium News Network. It's YoungPuke2. It's Gideon. I would really, really love to see Zintaj come back. Dujek's a wonderful person. Kayshall would be a great candidate as well, if she were. And then Mike Azariah, I think, represents a community I don't. Those are to name a few, for sure.

02:47:31 Sehr gut. Und dann haben wir eine gute Wahl. Ich war nur noch ein paar. Das ist ja schon. Ich habe es, wenn Sie wissen wollen, ich bin FaceValue.

02:47:48 So the CSM can be a bit of a time commitment. You were mentioning that you run a corporation, or run a group rather, lead a group in EVE Online, which is also a huge time commitment. Credit to everyone who is in alliance leadership or corporation leadership with their group, no matter the size. It's always a huge investment.

02:48:12 But how do you plan on kind of balancing those commitments and the ones you have in-game with the CSM, which, you know, from a strictly practical standpoint, it's only really an hour a week that we consume from you. But in reality, it's a little bit more, right, because you're talking to players, reaching out to people, conferring within the CSM as well. So, yeah, what's your plan with that?

02:48:39 My plan. I have the makings of a plan. The reality is I have fun playing. I think anything involved with the game for me has an intrinsic value. So there's that. So I'm motivated, but also I'm a production manager in real life. It's about calendaring. Just plan your time. Think about who you want to work with and be consistent. That's the big part. I think you should...

02:49:06 Log in, connect with communities, and do that all the time. And to be fair, I do that while not being on the CSM. So if you want a candidate who can juggle that, I already do it. I run an alliance, I run a community. It's part of the job. I presume that that community is part of the constituency you're representing. Anyone besides them?

02:49:33 Anyone besides them. I actually, I think where I am now in the community that I represent are two different things. Where I am now, there's a lot of things that would inherently affect them in maybe an adverse way. I'm not running on a platform that most Imperium or Horde candidates would run for, anyone in larger blocks. However...

02:49:58 Ich weiß, dass meine Gameplay ist intrinsisch von Losec, Hisec, Wormholes. Ich denke, die collective Atmosphäre von EVE Online muss sein, die Leute von allen Direktions aussehen müssen, wie sie EVE spielen können. Ich würde sagen, dass ich alle, in dem ich helfen werde, dass sie sich representieren.

02:50:20 Und wenn sie jemanden auf der CSM haben, das ist eine Voice, kann sie sagen, hey, ich live in einem Wormhole und ich kenne das. Ich will Sie, und Sie müssen mich ein bisschen lernen. Und ich will das. Ich denke, Sie werden einen Kind, Candid-Candidaten, der sich über das Thema interessiert.

02:50:37 Great answer, very eloquently put, and super important for being on CSM, right? Being able to hear from different people. You represent all of you, not just the people who kind of vote for you. It's something that people need to keep in mind and remember. You already mentioned just now kind and candid as some words to describe yourself. So I'll cross those two off.

02:51:06 Can you please describe yourself in three words that does not include kind and candid?

02:51:11 Last year I had a different set. I think now one of them is annoying. I'm very annoying to deal with. I'm pretty consistently in people's DMs about things. I love to ask the hard questions. I'm the squeaky wheel. So I think people will find that a little bit fun about me. I would also describe myself as just overall a lover of community.

02:51:40 And whatever that word is. I really care about groups of people. I don't know how to say this. Sorry again. You guys work there. The game doesn't keep me always hooked. The people I play with do. And we all really like this game. So if you care about it as much as I do, that's who I am. I think those are what would describe me best, other than the other ones. Right on.

02:52:04 Definitely something. We're on the community team, so we definitely believe in the power of community. So we're not game developers. I would make an awful game developer. The game would be super bonkers. But yeah. Real quick before we have to head off, always love to pick the brains of people who are willing to run for the CSM and especially those who want to see more diversity in the representation. So, you know,

02:52:33 To that end, how would you change, if you had like a magic wand, the CSM as an institution, if you could change one thing to be more collaborative, more effective, and more representative?

02:52:51 That's a tough one. I think you should have more, you know what, I'm going to be direct with you. I think you should have more selected chosen by CCP, CSM candidates. I think two is a little small. I think in recent years we've had

02:53:07 Ich denke, es würde ...

02:53:34 Es wäre ein schönes Easter Egg für die Leute zu wissen, dass sie vielleicht arbeiten können, aber auch mit der Repräsentation. Ihr könnt das auch wirklich balance es aus und haben die Repräsentation für die Leute. Ich denke, das wäre mein big change. Ich werde noch ein paar mehr machen. Und nicht mehr zu wählen, ich promise. Aber ich denke, YP2 war ein totaler Hit. YoungPuke war ein sehr guter Pick. So, anyway, ich habe es.

02:54:01 Right on. Well, always appreciated. Yeah, we're always curious to see how we can kind of iterate on the CSM. We don't just iterate on mechanics in the game, but also on institutions like the CSM. As we've now run out of time, just want to say thank you again, Rotz, so much. If people want to hear more from you, I know you chat about it a little bit, but where can they find more information about you?

02:54:25 Yeah, I've got the forum post. There's a Reddit post as well. I'm active in-game mail, Reddit, in forums as well. I've done a few videos. They're linked in my eForum thread. And I just did Imperium News Network. I've done Federation Frontline Report. I've done Untethered.

02:54:48 Und die Chadsquatch, als auch. Es gibt viele, dass ich mich über die nächsten Woche verabschiede habe. Aber wirklich, hit mich auf Discord. Es ist RotzMindWorker, all one word. Not pronounced as gut as Lumi. Und du kannst mich immer auf. Ich bin da für dich. Right on, Rotz. Vielen Dank so much. Lumi und ich werden gleich wiederholfen, als wir unsere nächste Kandidaten für ein Interview haben. Und ja, nicht so weit. Du hast hier so lange. Don't leave jetzt. Da ist noch mehr.

02:59:57 Welcome back, everyone. This is our last interview of CSM Interviews Part 3. Don't be sad, though. Tomorrow we'll have two more blogs of interviews coming up. But for now, we are here with Angry Moustache. He's been on a break from the CSM for a year, but he is back stronger than ever. Angry, how are you doing? Hey, I'm doing pretty decently tonight. And I wouldn't say I'm stronger than Aaron, but I'm definitely strong enough, I would say.

Angry Moustache: Datenbasierte Wirtschaftsanalyse

03:00:26

03:00:26 I will take that. Can you introduce yourself? Who are you and what is your background in EVE? Alright, I am Angry Mustache. I'm a member of Gunstorm Federation. My background in EVE is I mainly play on the industry and economic side of things. So I have been on the CSM before in CSM 17 and 18 and I ran on much of the same. I'm running on CSM 20 on much of the same platform that I am doing on 17 and 18.

03:00:56 which is helping CCP fix various issues with the e-economy that I see, and to implement changes through a data-driven approach that I think has been fairly successful in the past. So rather than going through the questions as I've done before, I have a slideshow on an issue that I plan to bring up to CCP, and I hope to show the audience how I...

03:01:24 get CCP to make changes, so to speak. Alright, we'll just go right in it. CCP Swift, can you press buttons for it? Ooh, it's there. You started all the way at the end. Can you go to the beginning? I don't hear Swift.

03:01:44 He probably had himself muted, as is tradition. I did! That was dope. It started at the end, but now we're here. I didn't screw up the one job that I had. Sure thing. So this is an overview of the build cost of supercapitals, which has been a fairly hot topic recently, in that in the Legion expansion, supercaps are just buffed, so they weren't complete garbage.

03:02:13 In order to get the supercap economy moving again, they have to be actually buildable. And their prices changed quite a bit over the last two years time tracking. The year access got cut off, but I have lines showing roughly when these changes happen and what has really impacted the cost of supercapitals in the last two years and what I think some pain points that should be addressed. So you see...

03:02:38 They were floating around $120 billion. Again, this is just the raw material cost. The builder has to take his share of profit. Otherwise, why would they do this? So your end product is always going to be more expensive than this. But this is a rough line with a baseline and then a builder's cut. So for a number of years, super caps hovered around. Titans, for example, hovered around $120 billion raw materials. And then the price shot up during the Equinox.

03:03:06 Solved change. And they shot up some more before T3 mine, when Legion was announced, but the patch has not went live. So people were excited for the Titan buff. So they built more, but the environment around the raw materials had not been addressed. So there was a spike in prices. We'll go through that in the next slide.

03:03:32 So when people talk about building supercaps, they talk about it as one bucket when it's actually two groups. We have titans and we have supercarriers. And their build materials are very different. A titan is a big hunk of minerals with some stuff added on to the side. And a supercarrier is one neural link protection cell, which is almost all commodity with a handful of stuff added on. So you can see from this graph that on the composition of a titan, it's...

03:04:01 dominated by this big block of orange minerals whereas both titans and super carriers take the same amount of commodities to make that one enhanced neural link protection cell and this is sort of the and this is one issue right now where because the bottleneck is on that one item why would and they and titans and supers take the same and titans are a lot more powerful why would anyone build a super care which i think uh super cp should change uh something about super carriers

03:04:29 in order to make them competitive with Titans as a choice.

03:04:41 You should be on the next slide. Okay, now we are. So this is just showing a more detailed breakdown of what was driving the cost of Titans to change during the previous two-year period. So at first, it was the Equinox conversion, which made minerals more expensive. You see, in this one month between November and December of 2024, the mineral cut of a Titan went up by about $12 billion.

03:05:10 Eventually, this cut went down when T3 mining upgrades increased the supply of minerals. But at the same time, there was additional demand for building super caps, but there was not additional supply coming in for the commodities, which was this little blue bar at the bottom. And you see this blue bar quickly, when no one was wanting to build super capitals, went from $9 billion for all the commodities to up to $27 billion.

03:05:34 However, CB has some foresight with this, and with the Legion upgrade expansion, they released the Nosec Exploration upgrade, which made all these commodities a lot more available and mitigated the cost impact of Legion buffing ships. Next one, please. Yeah, CB does, they gloss over, I know, I've seen them do this. All right, next slide's up. Next slide is talking about how...

03:06:00 wie die Veränderungen in Minerals ist, um ein paar verschiedene Dinge, die ich color-coded habe. So, green ist Mexilin, blue ist Isogen, und obwohl die Kosten für Minerals für die Tätigkeit ist, ist die gleiche, die Komposition, in terms of Breakdown-Cost, hat sich verändert. So, before Equinox, die Bottleneck war blue Isogen.

03:06:27 And when Equinox came in, it introduced the selectable ores for Nullsec. And the Isogen site for the initial Equinox release was quite good. And you see the Isogen part of the cost going down as more supply of Isogen came. However, the Mexilon and Tritane and Pyrite anomalies in the first round of Equinox are not very good. So you see Mexilon and Pyrite increasing in cost.

03:06:56 Und mit der Equinox-Force-Conversion, die all die alten Legacy-Mining-Anomalies, die also alle die Null-Sec-Pyrite, die man von Bistot und Arcanor bekommen hat. Und von dem Zeitpunkt, bis zu T3-Mining, in Februar 2025...

03:07:19 you see this drastic increase in the price of these two minerals. But when CGP released T3 mining upgrades, the Mexilong upgrade was very good, the Pyrite upgrade was very not good. So nothing really changed about Pyrite while Mexilong went down. And right now, Pyrite is still mostly mined in HiSEC and as a byproduct of R4 Moon Goof. Next question. Next slide. Yeah. Yep.

03:07:50 And this one's just an overview of the commodity bottleneck for Supercarriers and Titans. The rise leading up to Legion, the spike where you had the delay between the Legion patch notes being released early, making Supercaps good, and when the Legion exploration upgrades started being installed and adding more to the supply.

03:08:14 That is pretty much the end of it. So a lot of you go, oh, this is freaking boring. I hate this. But from my experience, these sort of presentations do work for getting C2B to nudge the economy in certain directions. All right, so what you saw here is what Angry brings to the CSM and how he gets us at C2B to potentially bring in changes. Angry.

03:08:45 We know this approach. If you could pick one thing that you could change about the CSM that you think would result in more effective collaboration between the CSM, CCP and our players, what do you think that would be? Oh, that's actually not enough. I would say it would be...

Abschluss: CSM-Zukunft und Event-Ankündigungen

03:09:09

03:09:09 I would say even expanding the number of CP picks even more beyond four, because the truth is some of the most expected people on the CSM don't have large constituencies to support them. And at least from what's visible from Yumpuke until the first time they get to show their stuff is when they get to build their constituency. I think possibly the number of picks could go up even more to represent more

03:09:38 Spieler-based demographics, yes. That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that. I know we were a little bit worried when we kind of expanded the CSM a few years ago and kind of added those picks in just because, you know, it's a pretty drastic change. But it sounds like it's going pretty well. And, you know, as you mentioned, the very talented people that we have selected, which is...

03:10:00 Es kommt aus dem Pool der Leute, die ihr euch für votete, die zwischen 11 und 20 in der Schlot sind. Sie haben wunderbarer Arbeit gemacht und haben einen tollen Namen für sich und wirklich verletzten die Entscheidung, um die CSM zu expandieren. All right, und mit dem, wir sind kind of am Ende dieser Interview schon, aber... Angry, ich möchte noch mal fragen, meine Lieblingsfrage. Kannst du bitte beschreiben dich in drei Worten? Ich mag Excel.

03:10:34 Dude, just crushed it. Absolutely nailed it. Nailed it. Alright, on that note, we will end our interview here. Don't go anywhere just yet. CCP Swift and I will be back for some closing remarks of our own. Thank you for your time.

03:11:39 All right, everyone, we're back. CCB Swift, CCB Lumi here. This is the end of day two of our candidate interviews. Just a reminder, we were live yesterday from five until some hour of the night chatting with our first candidates. We were live a little bit earlier this morning. In case you missed it, we started at about two o'clock UTC. And this bracket or this block started at about eight. So again, if you want to go back and hear from any candidates that you are interested.

03:12:09 in or want to hear more about, by all means go back in the VOD, find it and just like follow up with people on their CSN campaign threads. But even though we're done for the night, that doesn't mean we're done for CSN 20 candidate interviews. We will both be right back here tomorrow starting at 1400 UTC, probably a little bit earlier than that.

03:12:31 If you're not sure what time that is, it's Eve time. Just look in the bottom left corner of the client and you'll know when that is. We've got some Twitch drops available for you too so you can earn stuff while you get informed about the CSM. It's not just knowledge that we're throwing your way. It's stuff. Stuff and knowledge. The perfect combination.

03:12:52 So check back in tomorrow at 1400 EF time, but also later in the day at 1800 EF time. We will be back for another long block. See you tomorrow.

03:13:04 Thanks for tuning in, everyone. We'll just stand by for a raid. We'll find someone in the community to raid real quick. Hopefully there's still some Totality Day shenanigans going on. But again, for myself, NCSB Lumi, thank you so much for tuning in. It really means a lot to us that you guys want to hear about the CSM and are interested in the whole process. So until tomorrow, we will see you later and have a great evening. Bye.
