Edited by: Alekseyev Karrde on 11/11/2009 07:01:04That's right my friends, it is now in the on position  I'm throwing my hat in the ring as force for truth, justice, and small gang PVP. CC'd from Declarations of War: "With over a year and a half behind the wheel of Noir. I’ve established a lasting and very public reputation for integrity and exacting standards. You can call me a PVP candidate, yet I have no ties to partisan 0.0 power blocs, grief tactics, or pirates. What I do have is a strong desire to see small gang PVP become increasingly relevant and FUN, promote diversity and balance among shiptypes, and make sure issues raised by the exciting new changes in the Dominion patch are highlighted so this expansion can to live up to all our expectations. But PVP isn’t just about the pew pew. As CEO of one of EVE’s most in demand mercenary outfits, I have proven myself to be a sound businessman. Additionally, my clientel is a wide spread of the EVE community from 0.0 alliances, to wormholers, to the industrialists which keep the ships flowing. I think that competition is healthy, and I would advocate the removal of barriers to competition like NPC sell orders, suicide gank insurance, and other price ceilings. As an obligatory wave to my fellow mercenary CEO’s as well as all those who seek our services, I also support game mechanics which support the business side of the mercenary industry including protecting both merc and employer from scams. And finally, I am running to hold CCP to a higher standard. The GM department NEEDS to be improved for CCP to continue to have a positive relationship with its player base. CCP needs to admit the problem and work with the CSM on a solution to increase familiarity with basic EVE mechanics and thoughtful reading of petitions. This will drastically improve the first line of customer service and promote the healthy growth and stability of the subscriber base. If you have any questions for me, about me, or about my position on a certain issue I can be reached via EVE Mail or by comments on the blog. Watch this space for more announcements and highlights of Q+A’s or my posts on the CSM forums. -Alekseyev Karrde CEO, Noir."

I'll be voting for you with at least one of my accounts so you have at least two votes including yours :P
However, would like to hear your thoughts on the following:
1) Do you think anything needs to be done to make small gang/solo pvp "better", is stuff fine as is, or do you think they need to swing it towards larger fleets some more?
2) How do you feel about the ECM mechanic? Does it need a nerf, a buff, a change, or to remain unchanged?
3) What do you think about cloaks on interceptors? Should these be a more viable strategy?
4) What areas of the game do you hope to influence? |

Oh, that too. I was too busy trolling about the ****-fits that have appeared on the Noir. killboard over the past week :P 5) Do you feel that RR mechanics (neutral AND outlaw) need to be changed? Or are they fine as is? |

What specific complaints/suggestions do you have regarding the overview? Also, all you need is a Squirtle. |

Mainly how difficult it is to create overview tabs, how silly the states category is with the algorithm it uses to determine if a ship should appear or not appear on your overview. Quote: Also, all you need is a Squirtle.
Grass at the start is apparently the best, but I had no connection with the grass OR water on offer, and chose fire because to be the best POKéMON trainer in the Sinnoh region you really need to have a connection with your POKéMON. |

Sorry to upset the rock and mickey show, but this... RRing a crim without a GCC should not give you a GCC.. Sure, RRing them when they have a GCC is fine, i mean your actually helping an active criminal then.. But RRing a gang mate that happens to be -5 or less should not get me shot at by gate guns when he can sit there quite happily all day long. |

I was referring more to ***gots parking 8 NPC corp Guardians on a station in highsec and there isn't **** you can do about it, but yeah, the GCC thing needs looking at, too. |

Edited by: Kage Toshimado on 14/10/2009 12:57:59I am (or was) one of the biggest proponents of Logistical ships. I still like them and think they are awesome. But even I will admit to it. It has gotten out of hand with all the remote repping neutrals. This is coming from the person who has an alt (or alts?) created for the sole purpose of remote repping my main and other players in combat for ISK. PVP is fading very quickly in Empire and has all but dissapeared compared to years ago. Players are so leery of other players using neutral remote logistics. It was Falcon alts coming in and jamming that was the big pain, now it's neutral repping. Not whining, and frankly I don't even care if it is fixed, but it is an issue that certainly deserves looking into. Edit: If I vote for anyone, it would be Aleks.  |

Easy fix.. Cant dock while you have a yellow timer of any sort.. would also create tears from mission runners... (ok a more reasonable one would be to limit it to player based yellow timers...) Would also fix the Moros 'issue' and the 'I have a carrier so im immune if I stay in docking range' issue... |

I like aleks, but just posting that you're running for CSM, and then leaving the thread?
I'm not going to vote for someone unless I know what types of changes are going to be brought to the table. Knowing aleks I'm sure that wardec mechanics will be brought up (dropping alliance to avoid POS takedowns and things like that) Remote repping not causing an aggro timer.
All in all, I'm disappointed in the lack of effort put forth in announcing your candidacy. |

perhaps this is just an attention getter thread and the meat will come later? |

OP posted on 14th. You should give people at least 24 hours to reply to something given people have real lives outside internet spaceships.
So wait.
