Eve Council

Vote for a candidate with Faction War experience!

I am a Minmatar militia member, a Major in fact. This gives me a unique view for the CSM race.

This aspect of the game is important and will be ignored otherwise.

Is Faction War Dead?

The falling totals are telling a story in Faction War. Faction War was supposed to be about defeating the enemy, but instead it is simply used to game newbs.

At first, as you can see by the higher totals, players really did try to win wars. Daily, Minmatar have fleets of 40-70, but what are they doing? Fleets of 30 Amarr have been seen, but they are not nearly as common nor nearly as large. The last system taken was in June. Why?

The goal has been displaced by pure pvp. pvp is not a terrible thing, by no means. It is part of the game and a lot of fun. Faction War should return to people seeking Victory Points. NPCs should give bounties to make them more desirable kills too.

The worst part about it? Kills haven't increased. If anything, they have decreased.

Thank You Very Much for Your Support!

The campaign was a lot of fun for me and gave me a chance to meet new people. For my supporters I wish I had done more. I wish the current CSM a lot of luck!

John Blick Announces New Technology for Suggestions

I admit I am a young character whose knowledge is limited. With that in mind, I will obviously have to take other's opinions to the council. To do this, I will use a new technology provided by a major player on the 'net. I am not currently willing to provide how I will do this, but it will be available in-game.

The colors, the backgrounds, flying a spaceship. It's absolutely beautiful. I think the way it taught you the game in the beginning was very good. The in-game music is pretty good and has it's own sound. I have turned it off but after a few hundred hours... it's been a while so I'll turn it back on soon.

Also, earlier in a conversation someone said that they had a problem with me because I was on CCP's case over lag. That isn't true at all. CCP considers lag to be a very high priority. As a CSM member with programming experience, I would be honored to do a briefing on their efforts. I agree with their priority of it.

If the situation arose where a CSM proposal significantly increased lag I would be highly critical of it.

John Blick Announces Position on BACON - NO

2008-04-22T09:08:00.001-07:00

After discussion with other players it has come to his attention that BACON is a dastardly method of cheating. Discussions will take place on how to prevent BACON from working. He will be watching for comments to this post for suggestions also.

Announcement of Candidacy

2008-03-22T14:20:00.001-07:00

After consulting with my friends on Eve, and much deliberation and debate, I, John Blick, have decided to run for office on the Eve Council.

*wait for applause*

I will represent younger players in the game - and fight against 'Capital Ships Online'.

*wait for applause*

In the process of representing, I will listen carefully to all points of view inside my main's alliance and my alt's NPC corps. Democracy, Transparency, and Cooperation will be my priorities.

*wait for applause*

I could not do this without the support of my friends, alliance members, and others who share the ideals to make Eve a better game. Thank YOU!

*leave shaking hands and kissing babies to thunderous applause*
