Hey Mike, thanks for being awesome. You made my new player experience an exceptional one. You gave me a fitted ship from your orca and helped me to learn the ropes. It is one of the most cherished eve memories and helped me to start my journey as a capsuleer in Eve. You are a true diamond in the rough place we call New Eden.
Hi Mike, I've seen your reddit post, I must admin I didn't know you before, but for the 2 misconceptions I would say it's not because you what you can do, but for what information you can have "before" they will be public available, like for example what happened with the combat anomalies and the thunderchild proliferation "before" equinox went live... Anyway what I would ask to a CSM candidate is "what benefit give being part of the CSM gave to your Eve Online 'career' as a player". Good luck for your CSM Election
Cool questions. CCP security team tends to watch CSM members specifically so if someone does try to take advantage of information they are usually caught. (yes it has happened). If I understand you second question? Being on the CSM has given me a lot of insight into other areas of gameplay that I am not currently in. I listen to all the other people on the CSM and their reasoning behind why this or that might be good or bad. In other words I grow in knowledge, more than anything. It does take time from gaming and as I have said, before, burnout of CSMs is a known thing in this game. Serve and then slowly fade away "I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread." to quote Bilbo. A lot of CSMs are one term and done. I do not gain power nor notoriety and to tell the truth I don't want to. I want to help a game that I love and this is the avenue that I have chosen. m
