00:03:23 Welcome back to Day 2 of the CSM 20 Candidate Interviews. I am CCP Swift, joined by CCP Lumi, and we've got a full day of CSM Candidate Interviews for you today. We'll start off in just a couple minutes. We'll go until about 4 o'clock UTC, and then we'll come back here at 8 p.m. to go until 11 or 12. We'll go late into the night. It'll be great. Lumi, how are you doing today?
00:03:49 I am doing great. Looking forward to talking to this new group of people and see what they have to tell us.
00:03:56 Ja, likewise. Yesterday we had a couple of really amazing candidate interviews, some completely new candidates, some incumbents, some people who had run before, and today we're kind of looking to do the exact same thing. But first up, let's see, who's up on deck next? We'll have Milind Arctrooper first. We've talked to him before, but we'll have a nice chat again.
00:04:22 Das ist gut. Und für diejenigen, die Twitch-Drops sind live. Die Twitch-Drop von heute ist still live, um, in case ihr nicht verholtet für zwei Stunden. Wir wollten es nur eine Stunde, aber jetzt ist es gut. Und dann ist heute, die Hours ist auf jeden Tag, also, bis morgen. Also, ihr bekommt einen coolen Preis, also nicht wirklich, coolen Preis, für Participation in Space Democracy.
00:04:52 As you should, because democracy is important. It is, it is. And yeah, we had some really cool, like I was saying, candidate interviews yesterday. We heard a lot of where people are going to be. Yves University is going to be doing a kind of like a CSM for Dummies course, which is going to be great.
00:05:11 There's been tons of podcasts and content creators interviewing candidates and chatting to them. So yeah, if you want to know more about a certain candidate and you want to do a deep dive, by all means, we encourage you to do so. Our interviews are really brief. They're just like 10 minutes. So just to kind of get a brief understanding of everyone, then you can kind of figure out who you want to kind of dive deeper into.
00:05:36 While you're reading or hearing interesting things about the candidates, they also have their campaign threads up on the forums. If you use exclamation mark campaigns, you will be taken straight to the page and then you have 56 posts that you can scroll through.
00:05:52 Das ist ziemlich viel. Ja, wie Lumi sagte, 56 candidats sind für CSM 20. Das ist ab von dem letzten Jahr, das war ab von dem Jahr vorher. Es ist großartig zu sehen, mehr Menschen zu haben, die Hände in den Ring zu sehen, und, ihr wisst, ihre Passions für EVE. Das ist das, was das alles ist all über. Ich denke, wir sollten wirklich einfach mal starten. Wir holen Miland in, und wir kommen heute auf. All right, sounds gut. Let's do das jetzt. Hold on, ich muss jetzt ein bisschen pushen.
Milind Arctrooper's Candidate Interview
00:06:26
00:06:26 All right, Millen, welcome to the CSM20 Candidate Interviews. How are you doing today? Good morning, Yves Online. We're doing okay this morning. That is great to hear. No, no, you are all good. I was taken aback by your amazing radio voice. That is super, super cool. All right, Millen, let's get the show on the road. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what your background is in Yves.
00:07:02 I am running for the CSM 20. I have been playing this game since 2020, August of 2020. And I'm a solo player and I'm also one of the people who actually likes to play around and experiment with the mechanics of EVE and also try different fitting options and concept and content that's in here and trying to see how they work and how they counteract with each other. Alright. So why are you running this year?
00:07:33 Well, I believe that this time is the right time for me to be in here because we have a lot of changes that have come in. And I think there's an opportunity now to actually add a couple more unique options and even some new mechanics into the game that were even filling the holes in some areas where a lot of things have been left out in EVE Online right at this moment. Like modules, concepts for factions, new ships that need to be built in.
00:07:59 Und dann auch, um die BALANCING ein bisschen, ein bisschen mehr FINE-TUNED. Und das ist was ich. Und so, ich hoffe, ich werde mit dem assistance in dem, was ich sehen, wo little Holes sind, immer wieder.
00:08:15 Right on. So CSM20 has quite a lot of, as we were talking about, really talented people running to be on the council. Is there anyone that really sticks out of the 55 other candidates, someone that you'd really like to serve with on the CSM?
00:08:35 There was one in particular that I was more intrigued by their inquiries to keep with the complexity of EVE. I do believe that we should have a little bit more complexity. We should make it easier for new players to come in. Some of the standards like Mike Azariah usually is a fairly good person to work with, but there are a lot of people that have bringing some interesting ideas to the table. It's more about once we get in,
00:09:04 who would actually work the best in a team or even what we could compromise on as a group to figure out what needs to be done.
00:09:14 Oh, right. If anyone has interacted with you on Discord or Reddit, they know very well that you love, as you were talking about earlier, coming up with inventive ship fits, even ship designs. You even do some drawings and animation sometimes. It is really fun to see those ones. So we know where your strengths are, but where would you say are areas that you're, not necessarily weakest, but areas that are a little bit blind to you?
00:09:42 Well, maybe the one thing is station deployment. That is one thing. It's really hard if you're a solo player to actually fit and run a station by yourself. I mean, and even defend it in some ways. But, you know, that would be probably one of the more interesting things. I have checked into it, but the finer machinations of how you set and place stations has been a little bit of an interesting experiment to kind of play with at the moment.
00:10:07 Und gleichzeitig, wenn du eigentlich eine Titan-Titan hast, ist es viel mehr kompliziert, wenn du nicht hast Alts. Aber bei der anderen Seite, du kannst du all die Baseline-Skills, etc. Aber es kann sein, dass es etwas, was du an, was du an, was du an, was du an.
00:10:23 Yeah, definitely some things that are meant for some group activities. And in true form to EVE, there is no real guide on how to deploy an upwell structure or anything like that. You just kind of throw it out in the universe and see what happens. And then just hope Black Flag doesn't war deck you if you're in high sec. It tends to explode a lot when you put that experimental docking system in. And the last time it chunked somebody out of the deep space. That was not a good thing.
00:10:50 So, one other thing, you know, CSM19 have been amazing at communicating with players and their constituencies and just kind of everyone that wants to know a little bit more about the process. Should you get elected, how do you plan on communicating with the people who voted for you or just like the players in general?
00:11:10 Through the normal panels is like Reddit forums and also Discord, if necessary, within the rules of the NDA, you know, systems of communicating or like having polls, et cetera, so people can actually communicate an interest in what they want to do within the rules of the NDA. And that should be the basic systems. And if there may be, there would be probably, if other groups had other communication systems, I would use those as well.
00:11:42 Is that also how you plan on building a support base for your ideas that you want to push for as a CSM member?
00:11:51 Maybe putting out more of the information as carefully as possible, putting and placing out the ideas, think about the thought process, having diplomacy, having discussions over the ideas, giving alternatives, and then working from there, seeing where if we do this, we can operate with this group, and if someone brings another idea,
00:12:15 I'm sorry, I don't usually use the term collaboration because there's a historical connectivity to treason. I would mind cooperating and it would be no problem being able to live what their experience has been, getting an interesting viewpoint from that direction and working with them as well.
00:12:33 All right, if we stay on the topic of, let's stick with cooperation. What is it that you would like, if you had to pick one thing or could pick one thing, what would you change about the CSM that you think would result in more effective cooperation between the CSM and CCP?
00:12:55 Well, maybe one of the things that probably the CSM could use, especially to help with CCP, is a much more open communication method. We've had some problems with the Zendesk system, and it has been a little frustrating. I know that I've had a discussion with Swift because he said we had links, and then I actually had to post a picture. It's like, I don't have links at all.
00:13:19 And I think maybe a little bit more within the security situation that you have, maybe some new form of communication between CCP and CSIM so that certain things don't disappear into the spam folders and or lose links and have problems. Maybe also the more open polling system and maybe...
00:13:43 Wenn wir dann mit einem Update haben, wir können eine Pro-Con-Descent-Sechung haben, so CSMs können sagen, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das, wir haben das. So, at least da ist ein Feedback, um, after, ich glaube, das Opinions sind, die, after, wenn man sich in den NDA implementiert hat. Das kann eigentlich helfen ein bisschen, so dass es ein bisschen mehr Kommunikation, a thought process, besides.
00:14:12 Wir haben eine gute Nachricht, die wir mit uns haben. Wir haben eine gute Nachricht. Für alle, die zu den CSM geteilt sind, und sie sind in den NDA. Wir haben sie auf den CCP Slack, die internal Slack-Service. Sie haben nicht zu viel über e-mails geteilt. Aber das ist immer eine Frustration für uns. Und es ist eine gute Idee, zu können, nach dem Fakt zu sagen, ja, ich mag diese Partie, oder ich mag diese Partie.
00:14:41 Und einfach so, dass man so ein bisschen ein Voter-Rekord kann, wenn man das so. Und ein bisschen mehr Oblique. Nicht direkt, dass ich das bestimmte Item gewisse, aber du kannst sagen, ich nicht ganz gut, aber okay, fine.
00:14:59 Right on. And so I think we touched on it a little bit, but just to go into it in a little bit more depth, what are the type of player that you think that should vote for you and that you represent the best?
00:15:14 I personally believe it's just anyone who has their viewpoint in this and in a more broad spectrum of the player base. If you want to have different ideas, different concepts to be able to play, you want flexibility, you want a little bit of complexity. It's just more of a shotgun mosaic. And so that is dependent on player-to-player perspectives. Some of the larger groups, you may have some issues because, you know, you'll have agendas that the thought process, whereas I'm not a very agenda-based player.
00:15:42 I'm more interested in the core mechanics and concepts of the game and what we can do and the potentials that we can unlock that could actually enhance EVE Online's experience overall.
00:15:56 Right on. And then we always talk about in the beginning of these things, how fast they seem to go. And we're coming up on the end of our time with you, Milland. But before we let you go, you know, we were talking about this is just like a bit of a brief primer into the tendency of Milland. If anyone wants to hear a little bit more about you, have you ever or have you gone on any podcasts or done any interviews or do you plan to do any?
00:16:21 There are a couple of interviews that are coming up. We're having a little bit of a scheduling issue, but I am working it out. And we actually did. I did do one with the deck, Chad, before before actually this one, which is ironic. Usually ACP interviews happen first and then everybody else. But this time, because it's such a long time frame, there's a lot more people doing it.
00:16:46 So, you can look on the forums. I'm about to finish up some new updates to that CSM post that's in probably today. I'm adding some new concepts that will be added for further interest. And this will be something that will be done. So, as more interviews come along, just keep your heads out. There should be some interviews probably this week that will happen and probably up to the time of voting.
00:17:13 Right on. Well, thank you so much, Milit, for taking the time to chat with us. Now people know where they can go to hear more from you and kind of pick your brain a little bit more. But for now, we are going to go to prepare our next candidate. And yeah, we will chat with you guys later. Have a wonderful evening.
NitroCell's Candidate Interview
00:21:46
00:21:46 Welcome back, everyone. We have brought a second candidate of the day, NitroCell, with us. For now, it's still CCP Lumi and CCP Swift taking all these interviews, and it will remain the same this weekend, so if you grow tired of us, too bad. NitroCell, tell us about yourself. Who are you and what is your background in EVE? Thank you for this space. I was from Evil 9 a lot of years ago, but I always delay my account and create another one.
00:22:14 Und jetzt habe ich angefangen seit fünf Jahren, habe ich angefangen in Spanisch zu sprechen. Ich habe mit den Leuten, die ich mit allen neuen Spielern habe. Ich habe mit allen neuen Spielern, die mit den Level 4 zu gehen. Ich habe die Level 4 in High Sekt, in Low Sekt, in Low Sekt. In Low Sekt, habe ich mit sehr tollen Leuten in Wrecking Crew, mit Tadeus, Durek und Rocket. Sie haben mich in Drops gewonnen, das war ein sehr schönes Zeit.
00:22:43 und später in Nullseck, in Providence, das war eine crazy moment, es ist immer worse, in Providence, aber ich lerne viel für diese Area. Und später in Brave, Goons, ich starte, move a lot für diese Nullseck, weil wir müssen in der Zeit, in der Zeit, und später in Nullseck, mit Deepwater and Rote, sie sind sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
00:23:09 Er hat mich sehr in den Spiel für die große Flüge und diese Mechanik, die ich nicht mehr überlebt. Und später habe ich, wenn ich mich auf die Seite verabschiede, um mich zu Werthold. Und ich begann mit Geramel, die Input Broadcast. Aber ich bin in Capybara. Ich habe meine eigene Allianz, die Legion of Capybara. Wir waren mainly Spanisch, aber wir haben viele Leute, Englisch und andere nationalitäten, und wir waren hier.
00:23:40 That sounds great. You've done a lot of different things. So why is now the time for you to run for CSM?
00:23:47 Okay, I always want to be more deeply involved in every community. And I feel that now is the moment because I have a lot to work with my friends. I have a lot of time with a lot of community. I love work with the communities. And now, for example, the Spanish speaker communities become more organizers and more active. And together, we believe this is the moment for finally have a strong voice in the CSM program. I always want to be more in the game because...
00:24:15 Ich habe 25 Jahre alt. Wenn ich zu spielen, habe ich angefangen, habe ich angefangen, weil ich immer wieder über Eveline gesprochen habe. Ich wollte mehr, mehr, mehr, mehr. Das ist warum ich viel, ich experimentiere viel. Und jetzt, ich fühle mich, ich habe die Potenziale und die Unterstützung für die neue Spielerinnen und neue Spielerinnen.
00:24:45 Right on, yeah. The Spanish localization for EVE is one of the newer ones. I think it happened about four years ago when we finally translated EVE into Spanish. So we celebrate this transition very well. It was finally, I mean, we really, really love when this happened.
00:25:07 That's amazing. And it's great to see that it has borne fruit. There are some, as you were mentioning, some Spanish communities out there. I love the name of your group, Death Legion of Capybaras. That's fantastic. It brings me joy to see your alliance name. But we have a lot of other CSM candidates who are running this year.
00:25:31 There are 55 others besides you. Are there any of them that kind of stand out as someone that you would really like to work with or you think that would complement your skill set very well? Yes, I already see two of them have very similar ideas, like mine. For example, Sven Borner and Andre Kudon have a very nice idea about what they want, and I really will enjoy working with them.
00:26:00 Nice, yeah, and Drake currently on SES, I'm running for re-election. We will be hearing from him a little bit later. But great choices. It is in kind of similar areas of playstyle, but not exactly the same playstyle. It's nice that you guys have thought about this and have included that in there. Yeah, I mainly support them because I really feel like the ideas are more like...
00:26:27 was I want from Chinese in England, so I support them and I really love working with them.
00:26:36 So, what do you think, I'm not going to say weakness, I feel just like it's more like less experience and not a weakness. So what's the area of space or activity in EVE that you feel like you don't have experience in? Okay, I have to be really honest about this part and this is what my own audience say, tell me, you have to stop doing this. I love, I always look for a peaceful solution.
00:27:03 Ich bin Diplomaten, ich wollte einfach sprechen. Ich meine, du kannst nicht den Konten, du kannst es einfach sein. Ich habe immer versucht, zu sprechen. Ich kann ein PvP machen. Ich kann ein PvP machen, aber ich kann es immer versuchen, zu sprechen.
00:27:25 Warhol, they just want to fight with everybody. It's like, okay, we enter here, we will destroy this structure. It's like, no, we can talk. And it was like, no, it was like, shut up. And I feel like my weakness is mainly PvP, but no PvP is mainly a starter fight. I mean, this is my problem, because I always try to speak, I always try to own all perspectives. He owns all perspectives.
00:27:54 This is honestly the best answer to this question so far. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of different ways that you can do things. You can be a diplomat. You can just build alliances with one another. You don't have to always just shoot the person in front of you. You can do other stuff. That's why we love you. There's tons of solutions to it.
00:28:14 Ja, so in the chat says that is a strength. Right on. So part of the CSM involves chatting with people who voted for you and people who you want to represent and kind of sharing back with them. How do you plan on doing that should you get elected?
00:28:34 I already have a very strong community behind me. There is a Spanish group, there is some English group. I already have a lot of communication with my friends, with my community in general. So I already have a big place where everyone can say their ideas. I have the most big Discord from the Spanish community. So I will link you by the way. I want to be more someone with you there.
00:29:02 Es ist eine sehr große Diskussion von Spanisch-Mind. Es ist von Orpeon und Diner. Sie machen sehr gute Arbeit in diesem Bereich. So, ich fühle mich, dass ich diese Kommunikation mit den Leuten, die mich unterstützt und die Leute, die mich und die Leute, die mich unterstützen und die Leute, die sich auf die Tableau anbauen, um zu machen. Und ich möchte die Tools, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen.
00:29:27 Ja, das wäre toll. Das wäre toll. Wir wollen immer wieder auf die verschiedenen Gemeinden und hören, was sie denken. Und wir haben nicht so viele große Spanisch-Speaking-Gruppen. Das ist toll. Das ist eine der coolsten Teil der CSM-Prozess. Das ist die erste Zeit für die CSM. Und du hast es schon gemacht.
00:29:55 Ja, ich habe drei Punkte, was ich möchte, wenn ich CCM bin. Es ist für neue Spieler, für Warhol, weil das ist die Part, ich glaube. Und für die Lore. Okay, ich will starte auf das letzte Mal. Ich liebe die Lore, die Geschichte von den Gängen. Ich liebe das. Und ich weiß, dass Evil Night, für zum Beispiel, ist ein Game, was...
00:30:22 Der Story ist nur für die Plage Story. Aber ich möchte die Leute sehen, was die Ebene Knight Story ist. Ich sehe, das passiert ein paar Monate ago. Viele Leute sagen mir, ich kann nur 10 Jumps, ich kann für Ammar oder Jeta gehen, ich war hier, ich war hier, ich war hier, ich war hier, ich war hier,
00:30:49 Aber nicht nur für die großen Veränderungen, sondern auch für die Störing-Edge-Happen. Viele Leute fühlen sich stolz. Ich würde gerne gerne diesen Scenarios geben, diese Momente auf den Tisch und sagen, okay, die Leute wirklich lieben. Und wir können das nicht mehr, weil ich fühle mich, was wichtig ist für die Leute, diese Momente, aber es ist mehr einfach zu sein.
00:31:17 I see when I start in Otherpoint, I see when I start in Elf, a lot of people just start the game, really love the game, but I feel like they want to be part of this game, but they can't continue because they feel like it's difficult. You have just or just be a part of a group of people who explain you a little bit how it works. So I really want to give them more tools to start a very good game. For example, right now what you do...
00:31:45 Und ich liebe das, wenn du, zum Beispiel, die Map verwendet, ich liebe die Programme in der Map, ich liebe die Programme in Description for the Warehouse. Ich liebe diese Partei, weil diese kleinen Dinge, vielleicht nicht so small, aber diese Dinge, machen die Leute mehr easy zu verstehen, was passiert, easy zu verstehen, was sie tun. So ich wirklich, wirklich, wirklich, ich möchte, dass diese Dinge mehr öfter und mehr auf die Leute, die Leute, ich fühle mich, sie wollen.
00:32:13 Also, I want to do some mechanics in Warhol, because it's my main area, so I really want to change some algebra changes. I really hope I can improve these options also, these mechanics also. Right on. Well, thank you so much, NatureCell. We talked about this in the beginning, how fast these interviews tend to go, and we're out of time, unfortunately.
00:32:36 But it was amazing chatting with you, hearing your perspectives, the Smash community, you know, how you felt about the lore, the invasion, and how it got you, like, into EVE. And just, you know, you've identified some really, really cool updates that we've done that the CSM were instrumental in, like the...
00:32:54 Die Wormhole Show Info window und all that stuff. So it seems like you've got a very strong understanding of what the CSM does. And we wish you the best of luck in your campaign. And we can't wait to see you out there some more. Thank you so much. Thank you for this surprise. Right on. CCB Luby and I will get our next candidate ready to go. And we'll be back in just a couple of minutes. Welcome back, everyone. This time we've brought Airvalio Rin, known for his work in the third party dev community. Ariel, how are you doing?
Airvalio Rin's Candidate Interview
00:37:09
00:37:09 I'm doing pretty well, all things considered. It's half past midnight and I've got wisdom teeth pain, but we're making it work. I'm glad you're here nonetheless. So for those that don't know you, can you describe yourself in three words? Australian? Developer? Weeboo? Yeah, let's go with that. Oh no.
00:37:35 You were doing so well. Let's just cancel the interview. It's over. Let's go to the next. No, I'm just kidding, of course. Alright, so what is your background in Yves?
00:37:48 Ja, ich bin ein Aussie. Ich bin involviert in die EVE Down Under Community, das ist wie ein Event Space in Australien. Wir tryen zu hosten hier, weil es eine lange Zeit zu gehen ist. Ich war Helping run Tactical Supremacy, die größte Australian Time Zone Alliance, das ich denke, ever war. Wir waren ein Mitglied von Legacy. Wir dann, was du bring into the world, du gehst aus. Und ich habe schon...
00:38:15 So I can focus on my development project, which is the AllianceAuth project. I've got a team of about a dozen developers with 150k users and 420 installs. So that's what takes up most of my time now.
00:38:31 That's absolutely bonkers to think about. If anyone out there is in a corporation of any size, you've likely used Alliance Auth or at least some elements of Alliance Auth at some point in your corporation management or just being a member of a corp. Or even if you just applied to corps, people use this tool to kind of screen potential members to see if they're spies or just what kind of spies they are, even if they are.
00:39:01 We have over half a million ESI tokens. So you've probably left a token in an AA install you don't even know that you logged into. So you should check your ESI developer tokens on the CCP website and revoke them. Great tips all around going here. So Ariel, you are on CSM19. You're running again for CSM20. Why is that?
00:39:27 We tend to find with CCP, it takes like two to three years to have ideas come to fruition. What actually happened with me is it took like a month. I walked into the CSM Summit to find out that there was an ESI developer hired, and we've just been in a period of rapid change ever since. That brings with it its own pain, going from five years of nothing to going to pretty rapid change can sometimes be a lot.
00:39:54 So I think it's really important to keep the ball rolling with ESI. There's now a great cultural shift in CCP where teams are aware of ESI and they want to consider it moving forwards. So I want to make sure that we can target the current change that's happening at what needs to be changed and sort of slow things down where it might cause pain in the community or like speed things up where we know we can get away with it safely.
00:40:21 Ja, es war eigentlich ganz lustig, da waren einige Leute, die sich in CSM 19 gewandert haben, und sie haben viele, wie wir das wollen, dass sie das campagnen für waren, oder zumindest eine positive Bewegung in den Bereich, die sie für. Es war so, dass sie viel zu tun haben, aber es ist ein weiteres, aber es ist ein weiteres Prozess, zu sagen, wie wir allugehen.
00:40:47 But as a member of CSM19, running for CSM20, is there someone in the candidate pool now who's not already on CSM19 that you think would be a really great addition to CSM20 and someone that you would really like to be on the council with?
00:41:06 Ah, when I read this question, it was from last year. It was not in the current candidate pool. I'm upset that Seto's not running again. Probably Mike Azariah. I haven't had anything to do with him. I've just heard great things about him as a human being. So if I get elected, I'd like to serve alongside Mike and get to know him.
00:41:28 Mike ist ein langer CSM-Candidat. Er ist auf CSM 8. Und dann hat er sich auf sechs Terms zwischen dem und dem jetzt. Er nimmt ein paar Freunden für seine Sanität, dank goodness. Otherwise, wir würden ihn zu madness. Wir hatten ein Gespräch mit ihm gestern, wo er ein bisschen über seine Campaign gesprochen hat.
00:41:56 So really cool to see that he's made an impression upon you just by virtue of kind of being around and chatting all the time. Which leads me to my next question is communication. You've kind of already done this. It's a solved problem for you. But just for those that might not know you, how do you communicate with the people who you represent or who have voted for you or just who you want to share information with?
00:42:24 Ja, wir haben eine sehr gute Kultur in A.A., in AllianzAuth, und ich habe dann einfach auf das. So, all die 420 installs in der Welt, haben eine Team von Leuten, die in der Background arbeiten, und das Team kommunizieren mit mir und die AllianzAuth-Team. Und wir organisiert diese Funnel von Ideen, und jemand sagt etwas auf eine Discord-Serve, wie es wäre,
00:42:53 Das war in einem Satz, oder so. Das filters durch den Sysadmin, das filters durch mich. Und weil wir das über die letzten paar Jahre haben, ist es sehr einfach für mich zu pushen Ideen aus, durch die gleichen Channels. Wir klicken AllianzAuth, senden Discord notifications, und dann geht es zu allen Discord-Servor, und wir haben das schon schon schon wieder...
00:43:19 Es geht darum, dass wir uns in der Lage sind, dass wir uns zusammenarbeiten können.
00:43:32 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. An established community that you've cultivated over the years and lots of Discord servers. I don't want to get into a Discord server off, but I feel like if I were, you would probably beat me in just sheer number of Discord servers on there. But it's fine. We're not competing. It's fine.
00:43:55 Only slightly competing, but that's okay. Hypothetically, hypothetically. Another question is,
00:44:06 Das ist die Zeit, die Zeit, die CSM kann sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
00:44:30 Ja, mein Joke über das letzte Jahr war, dass es bereits eine 40-hour Woche ist, so ein bisschen CSM zu dem ist nichts. Was ist Zeit? Es ist nur ein Mensch. Die Realität ist, ich musste von AA ein bisschen zurückziehen, um das zu machen, aber ich wusste, dass das eine force-multiplier war. Ich war viel mehr auf den CSM für mich, als ein AA-Developer.
00:44:59 Die Realität ist, es ist hart. Es ist 3 a.m. Ich habe wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als viele Meetings als ich möchte, aber es ist ein sehr guter Schatz. Ich habe mich für vier Wochen gefahren, das alles für eine Lübe, aber die Leute machen das irgendwie nicht in der Australian-Times-Zone. Aber es ist sicherlich, dass man nicht auf 3 a.m. in der Mitte der Busch und dann auf deine Fahrt und dann auf deine Fahrt und dann ein Meeting. So das macht life interessant. Aber für die meisten,
00:45:27 Ich habe einfach zurückgebracht. Es war sehr gut. Meine Arbeit ist sehr unterstützt. Sie haben mich auf Iselm gefahren, um zu sprechen, zu reden. Sie waren sehr stolz. Es hat wirklich gut gemacht. Das ist super cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so schön, dass sogar dein eigentlicher Job eine zweite Job hat.
00:45:48 Third job. Third. So many jobs you have. I'm still sad that you didn't stand on top of your car for one of our meetings. It would have made for such a good show. But well for me. I did have to stand on top of the car to submit my CSM form. That was an interesting one. I could just imagine you standing up there and typing on a laptop above your head. But we are almost out of time. So let's just...
00:46:17 Was ist da etwas anderes Sie möchten, bevor wir zu Ende kommen?
00:46:23 If you're a third-party dev that's out there that got disenfranchised over the last five years of nothing, come back. It's really cool. There's stuff happening right now. It's a bit of pain. There's a lot changing. It hurts. But we asked for our cake, and then we got handed ten cakes. So we need to just knuckle down and eat them. It's good to have cake, but it's a lot of cake. So come back. We love you.
00:46:53 Das war eine sehr gute Idee. Die Discord-Chats und die Gespräche sind immer ein bisschen ein Problem, aber wir werden wieder in den Rhythmus zurückkommen. Für jetzt, vielen Dank, Arielle, für deine Zeit. Wir gehen nach dem Holding Screen für ein paar Minuten und werden unsere nächste Candidate bereit.
00:47:15 Welcome back, everyone. We're about halfway through today's, well, I say today's, but it's only part one of today's interviews. We'll have another one at eight, but for now we're about halfway through this first block. We're here with Nio Schöker from Scary Wormhole People, who is bravely taking this interview from his car as he's doing it on his work break. Nio, how are you doing? Very well, thank you for asking. Yeah, I guess, you know, finish everything quickly for my work and then be ready for the interview.
Nio Schöker's Candidate Interview
00:52:27
00:52:27 Well, I'm sure it will be great. So for those of the people watching that don't know you, who are you and what is your background in EVE?
00:52:38 Well, right now I am part of the scary wormhole people flying in low sick. I've been playing the game for almost 19 years now. For better part or worse, I used to be an allsacker. And then after that I joined the low sick group. And then I joined the wormhole group. And now we got kicked off and now leaving in...
00:53:08 Ich bin in Losick und jetzt bin ich hier und da in der Fashion Warfare Space. Und ich bin auch ein paar AT-teams. Und ich bin auch ein bisschen mehr in den Allianz-Tournament als Mitglied. Also habe ich ein paar kleine Erfahrungen, wenn es um meine E-Cube-Karriere.
00:53:35 Das ist für sicher, in 19 Jahren. So, you've touched many areas of space, you've done a little bit of everything, honestly. So, if you're looking at your CSM campaign now, what topics are you running on? So, my focus is mainly on the Battles of Evil Line, the quality of life, and then new player experience. Those are the three main focus that I have right now.
00:54:05 Um, das ist es ja. Und soll du wählen? Wie planst du mit den Spieler zu kommunizieren? Und wie planst du eine Support-Base für deine Ideen? Um, der easiest Weg zu reach me out ist natürlich durch Discord. Ich bin immer auf Discord, so wenn jemand mit Fragen oder Fragen oder Fragen oder Fragen, dann kann man mich auf Discord und ich werde es beantworten.
00:54:40 Is there any specific Discord servers you're in, where they can find you? Oh, easily on the Evo Online Official Discord, which I am in it. And you can also find me at, you know, our Wuboo Discord server if needed as well.
00:55:02 Right on. And I seem to remember that you ran for CSM19 last year. I say I seem to remember. I have this weird memory that I'm very much ashamed of where I have a very great recollection for Eve things, but I forget things like my address, my phone number, what day it is. It's fine, Eve stuff. So why are you running for CSM20 and what did you learn during your CSM19 process?
00:55:31 So 2019 was a rather bad time for me. I was actually on my way to Japan for three months. So it wasn't bad timing. So for 2020, I had more time. I'm able to...
00:55:50 Ich kann mein Zeitpunkt für die Gemeinschaft und meine Zeit für die Gemeinschaft. Ja, das ist gut. Und ich habe viel Zeit für mich, also. Das ist wie viel Zeit ich habe für mich.
00:56:08 Right on. And of the people, of the other candidates running for CSM20, like we were saying before, there are a total of 56, so 55 other than you. Are there, is there one or two that you kind of look at and think, oh man, it would be great to run with them. I think we'd have, or great to be on the CSM with them. I think we have like a lot in common or we complement each other. Yeah, is there anyone that kind of like fits into that mold?
00:56:33 One of them is Mike Astaire. I'm actually helping the new players. Most people would know that, but I won't tell anyone what I'm doing, you know. I am helping new people, and I see Mike Astaire, how he helps the new players. So I would love to work with him, and the other person will be young here, too. A lot of people have thought about him.
00:57:03 Aber ich weiß, dass er gut ist, was er hat. So, props to Young Puk. Und er hat mich zu tun, um mehr für die Community zu tun.
00:57:20 Right on, that's amazing. Great answers. And yeah, YoungPuke2 is on CSM19 right now. He's running for re-election as well. It was his first term last year, and I'm going to assume that he enjoyed it because he's running for CSM20. So same with Mike Azari, who's run several times and been on several CSMs in the past. So you picked some pretty great ones in order to want to work with.
00:57:50 Yes, of course. Hopefully I'll get elected and I'd love to work with them and see what I can learn from them.
00:58:03 Right on. So we were talking about this a little bit with some candidates about the time commitment for being on the CSM. It can be rather daunting, right? So it's really only like one hour a week where we ask you to join meetings and stuff like that, but it can really add up when you talk to other players, relay information to the people that voted for you, or just like...
00:58:30 Und jetzt gibt es ein paar Sachen, wie sieht man sich die Zeit und die CSM mit deinem Playstyle verändern?
00:58:41 Right now, like I mentioned before, I have free time, so it's quite balanced. So I'm able to, you know, put more commitment into time towards other players that need help or that need questions or concerns. So, yeah.
00:59:07 This is one that Susu Illumi likes to ask, but I'm going to steal it from her. For someone who's never heard of you, despite being around for 19 years and running for CSN19 and playing in the Alliance Tournament, let's just assume they've just forgotten stuff, but how would you describe yourself in just three words? Gaming video chef? Gaming video game chef.
00:59:38 As a profession, I'm a cook, so I enjoy playing video games as well. Right on. That's actually so dope. I just got back from Yves, Vegas, where Graydor hosted a meetup there. I was there with CZB Trash Panda, and he is also quite the chef. So it's fun to see that there's all types of diverse backgrounds for Yves players.
01:00:09 Das macht es so fun to talk to everyone as well. But unfortunately, we are running out of time for your interview. So before we close it off, is there anything else you want to mention or address before we close this off? Yeah, sure. I will see you guys at the GFN Fest. So...
01:00:30 Als ich schon gesagt habe, wenn Sie Fragen oder Fragen oder Fragen haben Sie über den Spiel? Sie können auch mit mir auf Discord. Neoshalker von Steve's Discord. Oder Sie können mich auf Google Discord server. One of the two, aber mainly Evo Online's Discord.
01:00:52 Amazing. Well, thanks so much, Neoshocker. Looking forward to hear more from you and your campaign and also at FanFest. It sounds amazing. But for now, Lumi and I will go to a quick break while we get in our next candidate, Gustav Manfred, and we will see you in just a couple of minutes at the top of the hour. Okay. Thank you.
Krytnos's Candidate Interview
01:10:12
01:10:12 Welcome back, everyone. We have done a little switcheroo as we were having some tech issues, so instead of Gustaf, you now have Krytnos joining us for his chat. Krytnos, how are you doing? Hello, hello. I'm doing alright. It's a Saturday morning and it's cold, but we're getting through it. Cold will prepare you for Iceland if you do make it to the summit, so this is great practice. So tell us, who are you and what is your background in EVE?
01:10:40 Ja, so, ich bin Krytnos. Ich bin ein Small-Gang-Medium-Gang-Pilot von NSH, levin' in Genesis. Spend most of my time PvP'ing, um, kinda across New Eden. Lately been spending most of my time doing Alliance Tournament practice, so that's been keeping me busy. Not just you, Alliance Tournament has definitely also been keeping us busy, but it is a good time.
01:11:08 So, why do you think that CSM20 is the right CSM for you? Well, I decided to give it a try last year, just having some more time on my hands and kind of wanting to impact the game a little bit more and the way it's being played. So I figured now's the time to give it a try.
01:11:32 Sounds good. So for those of you that don't know you, before CCP Swift steals my question again, how would you describe yourself in three words? Wow, asking that question early. I'd say calculated, patient, and active. That's three. Checks out. Checks out.
01:11:59 I'm pretty good at math if I say so myself. Hashtag calculated. That's what he means by that. So CSM20 has 55 other non-Crete Notes candidates running. Is there anyone in particular that stands out that you'd really like to be on the CSM with you should you get elected? Anyone that you really think you have really good synergy with or compliments you or just that you would just like to see on there?
01:12:30 I think based on previous year's performance, I think Young Puke definitely deserves a spot this year. I don't think anyone is nearly as active as he is and interested in being on CSM, and I have regularly spoken with him as well, so definitely him.
01:12:50 And if you had to pick your second favorite, maybe someone who is not as much in the same line as you, who would that be? I would definitely say Kashal. I think there's a need for someone representing the newer players to Yves. And I think Kashal is a good candidate for that aspect and definitely deserves a shot. I think you've named two great CSM members.
01:13:18 Das hat die Worten aus meiner Mouth. Und auch ein Shout-out zu YoungPuke, der watching ist. Und er sagt, Share this chicken to fight the block. Ich weiß nicht, was er denkt mit dem, aber ja.
01:13:31 One of the things that, you know, you identified with Young Puke on CSM19 is like communication and reaching out to people. So if you were elected, how do you plan on kind of emulating that? How are you going to chat with players who voted for you and kind of solicit information from them?
01:13:51 I think just having kind of an open forum, whether it be on Discord primarily, on Reddit or on the Evo forums, I think just being able to present ideas and then just getting as much feedback as you can from players all over and having discussions about them is the way he's been doing it and a good way of approaching the subject. I think on Discord, too many hours a day.
01:14:20 und zu vielen Menschen zu sprechen. Ich denke, ich habe schon das Teil von mir gemacht. Don't we all? Discord ist live. Talking about CSM, du hast du ein bisschen über dein Playstyle und den Bereich du leben. Was sind die andere Themen und die Playstyle-Elemente, die du representierst bei der CSM?
01:14:54 So I think this year my focus would definitely be on Losec and NPC null life. In addition to the content PvP generation that I've always kind of strived to entertain. So I think there's a lot to be improved upon for those living in Losec and NPC null regions. So that's definitely the constituents I'm looking to support this time around.
01:15:27 Und was würdest du sagen, wenn du deine strongest points hast und deine strongest Erfahrung hast, was würdest du deine Least Erfahrung in EVE? Ich kann definitiv sagen, zwei. Eine ist Industrie. Don't ask me to build things. Ich würde lieber blow ships up. Und die andere ist, um...
01:15:50 Ich habe noch mehr neue Spieler zu retten, um die Spiel zu spielen. Ich habe mich sehr bitter über die Jahre. Vielleicht habe ich in PL für lange. Aber ich habe wirklich keine guten Ideen für die neuen Spieler interessiert, wegen meiner persönlichen Playstyle. So, ja, Indie und neue Player Retention. Nicht mein Ding.
01:16:15 You just have to look at it this way. The stuff that you do in-game inspires the next generation of EVE players to kind of do the same thing. Yeah, if their playstyle is willing to be sitting and staring at one system for eight hours a day, then I could retain those guys. Send them my way. Has that inspiration to us all.
01:16:44 So maybe a bit more on the practicalities of running for CSM. We've been asking this question a lot today and I'll ask it of you too. CSM can be a huge time commitment. Obviously it is as big as you make it yourself, but how do you see yourself balancing this with everything else that is going on in your life?
01:17:06 So, while I do travel and have busy periods of work day-to-day occasionally, I do still spend a good amount of time playing the game and chatting with people on Discord. I think seeing some of the CSM members from last year and socializing with them and seeing how much time they were able to put into it, I think I can devote a similar amount of time. And it's really...
01:17:35 Die success you get is correspondant to the amount of time you put into it. So I think I'll be able to balance that work life with the CSM life. Yeah, and if that just means that more people in Iridia get to survive, they'll probably, you know, that could be like one of your main things. Like, well, for me, your Jump Freighter or your Super Titan might survive a little bit because I'll be busy with CSM stuff. That's a way of getting some people to vote at least.
01:18:10 Es ist eine Möglichkeit, die Leute zu wählen, aber ich auch nicht wollen, weil sie nicht mehr sicher sein werden können. Honesty ist wichtig. Ja, das ist eigentlich eine coole Sache. Wir lernen so viel über Eucarino. Super Honest, und eine Inspiration für die neuen Spieler.
01:18:31 So, um, I think I've got one more question and then I'll see what CCP Swift still has to ask. But, um, if you got to pick one thing you could change about the CSM as a whole, what would that be to, like, get more effective collaboration between CCP and the CSM and the community as a whole?
01:18:53 I'm really glad you asked that question. I'm going to give a probably somewhat polarizing answer. I think that there should be a restriction by affiliation of CSM. So, for example, nullblock CSM should...
01:19:14 Ich denke, es ist einfach zu viel overlap in Ideologie, und ich denke, dass die CSM würde von einem wideren Widerstand und mehr Candidates von anderen Bereichen.
01:19:31 We're always looking to reinvent the CSM and keep it fresh as an institution. A couple of years ago, we actually expanded the CSM from 10 to 12, where CCB could select additionally, just to round out experiences, people who finish between 11 and 20 in the polling. So lots of things are on the table, but we do really like a diverse CSM. I think this year is one of...
01:20:00 The last two CSMs actually have been quite diverse in playstyle and kind of moving on from the very dominated by one area of space that they have been in like the distant past or the not so distant past too. But I do like the idea of trying to promote more different playstyles and more like areas of expertise into the CSM.
Cretnos über Diversität und Kandidatur
01:20:2401:20:24 Ja, ich denke, dass die Änderung der zwei Schlotten war, aber ich denke, dass es, unfortunately, da gab es nicht oder unterrepräsentiert war. So, ich denke, dass es in die Richtung der Diversität ist, ist immer ein guter Ziel zu haben. Genau, und es ist toll, dass das auch inspiriert wird, dass du deinen Hat in den Ring gewonnen hast. Das ist ein wirklich cooles Wettbewerb.
01:20:51 Das ist ein sehr guter Weg zu approachen Problem. Aber wir sind aus der Zeit für unsere Chat. Wenn jemand etwas mehr zu hören geht, geht auf die Forms. Check out Cretnos' Plattform. Und du kannst, wie ich gesagt habe, Pokémon Discord. Seht was er zu sagen. Pick his brain, hang out, und get a better understanding of what makes Cretnos tick.
01:21:22 Yeah, sounds good. Thanks for having me. Thanks so much, Kreetnos. Alumi and I will be right back with our next candidate, so don't go anywhere. Welcome back, everyone. We are reaching the end of this stream today, but don't worry, we'll be back later around 8 p.m. For now, tech issue solved. We brought Gustav. Gustav, how are you doing? I'm fine, and you?
Gustavs Hintergrund und CSM-Programm
01:24:13
01:24:13 We are doing great. We are having a lot of fun with these interviews. We keep saying it is one of our favorite parts of the year, honestly, and it truly is. So Gustav, for those of you that don't know you, can you introduce yourself and tell them about your background in EVE?
01:24:31 Yes, sure. I have been playing since 2009. At the beginning, I did mostly PvE stuff, mission running, ratting in LowSec and so on. Then later on, I also did some PvP. Then in 2015, I was in the first time I joined on LowSec Alliance. It was, I think, GoonSwarm. They had some sort of a ranting program. Then afterwards, I went into...
01:24:57 Profit dance when it was not red on shoot like in 2016 and then later on I got really into the abyss and that's what I do mostly these days and I also enjoy the proofing rounds in the old arena a lot and nowadays I sometimes do ESS PVP or just roaming around in Lauseg to get some fights.
01:25:25 All right, sounds like you've done a lot of different things. So out of all your experience, what are the topics you are running on?
01:25:33 Ja, die Topics that I'm running are mainly to bring the proofing grounds back and the old arena, but also ship and module balance, as well as new ships like destroyers and battle crews for all the auto pirates and some little things, quality of life change and some bug fixes like in the abyss there sometimes the bug that clouds stop rendering when you use certain weapon time, so for a longer time.
01:26:06 Alright, sounds really good.
01:26:10 That's the topics you'll be running on. What is something you have less experience with and, well, not considered one of your topics really? Anything related to industry. I know how to use a blueprint, like when I load Glorie in the abyss, and I know how to manufacture it and sell it, but that's about it. And with Glorie, I mean those glorified mutoplasmids.
Gustavs Motivation und Zusammenarbeit
01:26:40
01:26:40 Das ist, die Mutoplasmates sind die Dinge, die ich einfach tinker mit habe. Ich bricht 100s von Modules, nur diese Woche alleine. Es ist aber sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr. Das ist nicht deinem ersten Mal für CSM. Ich rappelle, dass du für CSM runn für CSM vor hast. Was hat das, was du für CSM-20 inspiriertest du für CSM-20?
01:27:11 Ja, denn da ist noch viel passiert in den Neue Eden, wie die Events und dann die Crimson Harvest, die mit den Lore-Eventen wurde. Da ist noch viel passiert, viel Feedback von den Spielern wird geholfen.
01:27:33 Ja, das ist definitiv etwas we're always looking to do, especially when we try something new, like with Crimson Harvest this year, as you pointed out, some new sites and kind of new distributions of things. So that is really cool to see. And a lot of what you were talking about before, in terms of just quality of life, balance stuff, that's something that the CSM as an institution has a lot of aid on when it comes to...
01:27:58 like the major updates and sometimes expansions and stuff like that. So really well identified there. But, you know, there are a lot of people running for CSM20 this year. There are 55 non-Gustav Manfreds running for CSM20. Is there one that kind of stands out in your head as someone that you'd really like to work with, someone that you think would complement your skill set really well?
01:28:21 Ja, ich denke, ich würde zwei sagen. Der erste ist Dujek-Onai, weil er auch die Arena zurückkommt und hat auch noch etwas in den aktuellen Terms gemacht. Und auch Mike-Azerayer, weil er ein starkes Fokus auf neue Spieler und ich denke, neue Spieler sind auch wichtig für den Spiel.
01:28:48 So, should you get elected, how would you communicate with the player base? We all know that's super important to get stuff done. How would you communicate with them and how would you build your support base?
01:29:04 Und das wird nur von meinem eigenen Content, wie mein eigen Discord, Twitch und YouTube Channel und so weiter, als auf die Forums und Reddit. Und andere Discords sind die Abyssalog und die Solo-Back-Discord, aber auch die offizielle CSM-Discord.
01:29:27 Right on. That's something you actually kind of glossed over a little bit. You are a very prominent content creator in EVE Online. You stream, you make videos, you do lots of really cool stuff to interact with your community. So if you're interested, I'm just going to do a subtle plug for Gustav. If you're interested, you should check out his Twitch channel and, you know, check out how he masters the abyss. It's spooky space, but Gustav makes it look so easy.
01:29:58 Segue aside, that was just an advertisement brought to you by CCB Swift, not solicited. But when we talk about the CSM campaigns, it can be quite a lot of time. You do quite a lot of stuff in-game. You talk about all the communities that you work with as well. The CSM can be a pretty heavy time commitment. So how do you see yourself balancing that time commitment along with what you already do in the game?
01:30:25 I'm already, nowadays, spending a lot of time in EVE and producing content, and I'm sure we'll find a way to manage that somehow. Somehow is always the answer to this question. Yes. Life will find a way. For now, we are running out of time for your interview. These 10 minutes are over way faster than you think they are. Do you have any closing remarks?
01:30:56 Yes, if you, for all the contact stuff, check my campaign post out and there will also let you know if I do the talk on the EVE University Discord, because they have also a dedicated channel for all the CSM candidates where you can ask questions about various topics in the game and so on.
01:31:24 Ja, das ist ein sehr guter Show, eigentlich. Die EVE-Universität wird ein paar Interviews und ein paar Guides auf wie zu runen für den CSM, oder eher wie zu voteen für die CSM. Noen machte eine Guide auf wie zu runen für den CSM. Wir alle bummeln durch das zusammen. Es ist ein tolles Prozess.
01:31:43 Und wie Lumi sagte, eine unserer favoritee Dinge, weil wir lernen über die Spieler's passions so, so viel. So, vielen Dank, Gustav. Wir haben die Zeit, und best of luck in Ihren Kampagnen. Und wir sehen uns mehr von Ihnen. Lumi und ich sind gleich mit der nächsten Kandidaten für den Block. So, keine Ahnung.
Aerospeed über NullSec und CSM-Ziele
01:36:56
01:36:56 Welcome back, everyone. We've got our final interview of this blog this morning. Well, early afternoon, it is more like. And then we'll be back in about four hours at 8 p.m. for our next blog. But first, let's talk to our candidate. Aerospeed, how are you doing? I am doing great. So tell us a little bit about yourself. Who are you and what is your background in EVE?
01:37:21 I started playing about 10 years ago and explored lots of things in the game like everybody does when they start. I have vivid memories of being a new player and watching the fleet fly away. I had no idea what to do. They told me to be in a fleet. I was in the fleet. I didn't know what to do. That kind of feeling. And so I still have a heart for new players and that experience, improving that experience.
01:37:49 One of the things that really fascinated me from the beginning about EVE is the market and the industry, kind of the free market model, and that it can look very similar to a real-life market just by how it's set up. And I understand that sometimes EVE is used as an example in a...
01:38:17 Was ist interessant ist, dass es eine große, kleine, Missing-Pieße in EVE ist, dass man in real life hat, aber nicht in EVE ist, und das ist eine Art und Weise, eine Art und Weise, eine Art und Weise, eine Art und Weise. So, wenn jemand jemand zu kaufen, dann wird es immer wieder das gleiche. Wenn jemand jemanden will, wenn jemand jemanden will, ist, wenn jemand jemanden will, ist, wenn jemand jemanden will, ist, wenn jemand jemanden will, ist, wenn jemand jemanden will, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will, ist, wenn jemanden will,
01:38:42 of differentiating yourself to be a big time industry player. I just find that really interesting.
01:38:50 And would you then say that industry is also the topic you're running on most while you'll be going on the CSM campaign? No, that's just kind of an introductory what interested me. My platform is, I'm a big block player. I think different maybe from at least people's expectations of a big block player is that I do have that passion for the new player experience. And I'm also
01:39:20 I think of myself more as representing NOLSEC, and so that would include big blocks and little blocks. And so I'm interested in, kind of for it as an example, I have people coming to me wanting to join Winter Coalition as an alliance. And sometimes they're just not big enough or experienced enough for us to accept them.
01:39:48 Sie kommen in, und sie wollen diese Dinge, und sie haben diese große Ideen, und es ist hart für mich zu sagen, nein. Aber was ich möchte, dass die Spieler in das bestimmte Situation haben andere Plätze, sie können in NullSAC gehen, und sie sind erfolgreich. So, das ist warum ich mich als, wie ich mich als, als all NullSAC darstellen, nicht nur die große Bloc portion.
01:40:16 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. You can't always go to like the top dogs from the very introduction. There's got to be a nice healthy ecosystem where groups can go and thrive and be able to be small and grow or medium and grow into like the next thing. Yeah. Exactly. And I would love to see.
01:40:36 I have some ideas, which I don't have time to go into now, but you can ask me a question on the forum if you want to. Some ideas about giving more guidance and help and direction to those corps in that kind of, they're not new, they're not hugely experienced, they're kind of in between the medium level of experience, giving them some good tools that they can use to grow if they want to become a Big Block Alliance.
01:41:05 Right on. So there are other CSM20 candidates running, 55 to be exact. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, it is. It's crazy. We love to see it. We love to see people's passions when they want to run for the CSM. It's a great way to express what is important to them about EVE Online, and we love seeing it.
01:41:26 Ich finde, es ist ein einziger Kandidat oder ein Kandidat oder zwei, dass man, sie sind großartig, ich fühle mich, ich fühle mich, dass ich sie wirklich gut oder es wäre toll, dass ich sie mit ihnen auf den CSM mit ihnen sein kann.
01:41:42 Yes, Kenneth is also running as a fraternity candidate, a Winterco candidate. And I know him from playing with him within the game. And he's just a really smart guy and fun to talk to. And I think it would be great if he and I were both on the CSM. That's my dream picture. I'm sure he loves to hear that.
01:42:12 So, if we're talking about all the other CSM candidates and you a little longer, what distinguishes you from any of the others and how do you set yourself apart? I set myself apart. I think my couple things, and this isn't, I'm not claiming this is unique, but kind of how I think of myself. My experience as Wintercode Diplo has just given me a huge breadth of breadth of
01:42:42 of experience in understanding from the perspective of the players. So they come to me, they have some kind of an issue going on, might be an issue with the rules being kind of weird and they don't understand them, or some other player did something they didn't like, or they had some experience in some part of this huge, giant, wonderful sandbox that they're coming to me for help with. So I have that.
01:43:07 Kind of that breadth of experience of different players in different situations.
01:43:14 I've learned how to be fair, as fair as I can. I've learned how to deal with issues where I don't have all the data, even though I'm a very data-oriented person. I can't just say, give me all the evidence and they hand me 10 screenshots. I'm having to make a decision without all the data that's there. I've learned other things like how to control my emotions. People tend to get pretty emotional in this game.
01:43:41 Particularly if they feel like they're wronged in some way. So I have the AeroSpeed principle, remove your hands from the keyboard when you're angry. So I've learned how to handle these things in a little bit more of a cool way than I did years ago before I had that Diplo type of experience.
01:44:02 Right on. And yeah, being part of a team that manages a coalition of thousands and thousands of people from different areas of space, different areas of the world even. It is quite a lot to try and manage that. And I remind people of that often. Sorry, go ahead. No, no, no, all good.
01:44:26 So, yeah, it sounds like you're looking to support some of the null blocks, big and small, people trying to get some foot in the game. Is there an area of the game that you feel is not necessarily a weakness, but something that isn't something that's a strength of yours?
01:44:44 The managing of an infrastructure is something that I had to get very deeply involved with as rental manager for Fraternity. And this last round of Equinox and then added on the Legion really required me to get into that infrastructure pretty intensely.
01:45:08 Und so, das ist ein Bereich, wo ich habe viel Erfahrung, ich habe viel Erfahrung gemacht. Ich habe, wie ich es end-to-end habe, um alles für die Renters zu haben. Ich habe alles zu re-doen, all meine Pricing und all meine Infrastruktur-Planning und alles. Wenn Equinox kam, war es so, ich habe zu starten von scratch. Und so, in dealing mit something like Mercenary Dance, das ist kind of a new...
01:45:31 und eine neue Problem zu lösen. Das ist etwas, dass ich mich über das Thema, um mein Weg durch, um, für, für, however, lange sie haben. Und so, das ist der Bereich, wo ich, wie ich kann, um, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in,
01:45:51 Right on. And should you get elected, you know, a big part of the CSM is communicating with communities, soliciting ideas about like potentially some potential changes that are coming down the line that sometimes frustratingly so you can't really talk about it in too much detail. So should you get elected, what's your plan on how you'll communicate with those communities?
01:46:15 Unfortunately, my predecessor, Luke, set up a wonderful CSM Office Hours channel within our Discord. So I have that immediately where people can come in and talk to me. I'm also very available by just Discord PM and anybody can contact me and I will get back to them almost always within one or two days. And so I really...
01:46:45 I prefer, as much as I possibly can, to talk with people one-on-one about a particular question or issue they have, because that gives me a chance to go another couple of levels down in the conversation and really understand their particular situation and what it is that's driving them to want to talk to me. It sounds like you're very easy to talk to a person from the short time we've had with you so far. To close it out, can you describe yourself in three words?
01:47:17 Ich würde sagen, Passionate. Ich hoffe, ich continue mit dem Thema. Ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das, und ich liebe das.
Aerospeeds Kreativität und Abschluss
01:47:37
01:47:37 Data-oriented. I don't like to fly without really understanding my ship or to make a decision without really understanding the data behind it. And then third, I would say creative. I look for solutions that may be a step beyond the options that people are currently thinking about.
01:48:01 And if I have time, I have one example of that kind of creative solution approach. Yeah, sure. Okay. One of the things that we really wrestled with when the exploration upgrade came out was the fact that those higher level sites spawn outside of the system that the upgrade's in. So what happened was we had alliances with
01:48:30 Each owning their own saw next to each other and somebody would put in 1 of those upgrades and. Some of those funds are occurring next door.
01:48:43 So who gets to run those sites? And we went around and around about it, and the argument was, I paid for that upgrade, so I should be able to go over into that SOF and take the sites, versus this is my SOF, don't come into it, I didn't tell you to install that upgrade, and I don't want you in my SOF. So there we were with those two opposing opinions, and
01:49:12 I ended up coming to a solution that both sides were perfectly happy with, and I've had no Diplo issues since that. And the solution to that that we came up with was the person who puts in the upgrade can go next door and run those upgrade sites, not everything. They can't do other PVE and that's soft, but they can run the upgrades that they paid for. And.
01:49:42 Die Sov-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-A-V-
01:50:06 Yeah, that's a really important quality for everyone running for the CSM, being able to be pragmatic and solutions-oriented, because EVE is 10 games in one, masquerading as one. There's definitely different types of playstyles that everyone needs to just be happy with at some level. So really important to be able to do that. But unfortunately, RSV, we are running out of time.
01:50:34 These things, as Lumi was saying, always seem to go by so, so quick. We appreciate chatting with us today. And yeah, good luck in your CSM elections. Thank you very much. Thank you for joining us. Yeah, right on. CCB Lumi and I will be back in just a couple of minutes to wrap things up. And we'll see you momentarily.
01:52:01 All right, everyone. Welcome back. CSB Swift and CSB Lumi here. That is our first block for today. Later tonight, we'll have a few more interviews, actually quite a few more interviews with more CSM20 candidates. We'll be doing the same tomorrow as well. So you're going to be barraged with some information about who to vote for and everything. Anything that you wanted to say before we go on a bit of a break, CSB Lumi?
01:52:27 I just want to say thank you for joining us. We've been having so much fun and we'll have more fun later today, so don't forget to tune back in.
01:52:37 Yeah, I took the words right out of my mouth. We'll be back just before 8 p.m. UTC. That's Eve time for people that just want to look in the bottom left. So at 20.00, we'll be back probably about 17.55. We'll be back with Benzman, who's going to be leading off our evening round of interviews. And looking at the list, we've got quite a few. So it'll be a nice evening. Hang out with us.
01:53:04 Keep us on a side screen while you're doing cool stuff in game. And yeah, we'll see you right here in just about four hours. Take care. Bye.
