https://forums.eveonline.com/t/creatnos-for-csm19/462978 Hello Gamers, I am Creatnos, a once youthful kid saddened by the loss of his cormorant, now a slightly more mature kid saddened by the loss of skyhook raiding. I am running for CSM for the first time. For my Eve career I have mostly stayed out of the spotlight, so many of you probably do not know me by name, but chances are, someone you know, knows me. I started playing this game back in 2010 right around the time I was starting high school so i pretty much grew up with this game. I started off in Hisec, enjoying the day to day missioning, fighting off the mean wardeccers, and occasionally peeking into lowsec to see what real pvp was all about. Over a decade has passed and I have experienced pretty much everything this game has to offer. I participated in the Great Wars, like being a line member in a drake in DBRB fleets. Bombed armor bs fleets of old with Wrik Hoover and Cloak Squad in the south. Fought the world with Elo in Black Legion and the fcs of old in Pandemic Legion. Roamed wormhole space with Noobman and HK. Founded NSH (the original GW version). Ran faction warfare complexes and spearfished individual ships out of entire fleets. I’ve spent more hours than I can count practicing for Alliance Tournaments and hunting supers moving through lowsec and nullsec. The last couple of months I have enjoyed all that skyhook raiding had to offer, killing the occasional traveling super and more recently am involved in a small war that has broken out in lowsec. The reason I am running for CSM is in hopes of keeping the flame going that keeps us wanting to play this game. I have made many friends in the years I have played this game that I have known for almost 15 years and still make new friends to this day. My focus on CSM would be improvements related to PvP for those primarily in lowsec and their interactions with nullsec, as well as with nullsec as on its own. Some of the things I am interested in below. Skyhook Raiding - This is a huge content driver. Admittedly the stealing was too easy, but the proposed changes are bad. Very bad. I hope to help bring some parity to this mechanic where both the aggressor and defender want to interact with it. Equinox changes as a whole started out looking promising, but have been on a gradual decline ever since the first patch. Metenox Moon Drills - This is another big content driver, and fighting over them day in and out for the last month I have a pretty good feeling on the hp amounts that attackers and defenders have to deal with. I think some healthy changes can be made that would put these in a better state. Also I have had some shower thoughts about limiting drills to only harvesting R8 and higher. Force Projection - Eve has become significantly smaller since I started playing, and back in the day we were able to take 50 supers and go north to south in 10 minutes. Between uni wormholes, ansiblexes, zarzakh (prior to recent events), maneuvering the universe became too easy. At least in the past, the wormhole highway required people to put some effort into scanning to get around places. Fozziesov - I personally dislike ever going away from SBUs to the way sov wanding works now. I would like to see some change because the state it is in now isn’t particularly fun. Capital/Supercapital Ship Changes - I think there is a lot of work that can be done to better the state of all capitals. Carrier changes were definitely a good start. I would like to see a world where people are at least somewhat interested in using their supers outside of beacons, but cost and effectiveness prevents that. Lancers being used almost exclusively for killing jump freighters also seems like a void that can be filled. Carrier fighters could use some refinement. Contact and Bookmark QOL changes - Allow for more contacts slots (currently 1024) for the purpose of NPSI fleets. Also increase shared bookmark folders from 3 to 5 and maybe add some more bookmark slots to those folders. Pochven - I personally dislike pochven in its entirety, but I especially would like to see some of the isk faucet cut down. I don’t have immediate solutions for all these topics, nor do I expect to please everyone, but what I can say is that I am very good at talking to people and I regularly interact with people from all across our community. I want to hear what people’s opinions are about all aspects of the game and I hope to be as transparent as possible both with you all and with CCP in hopes of bettering this game we spend too much time playing. I have a ton of experience in this game and hopefully that history can better our future.

https://forums.eveonline.com/t/rots-mijnwerker-for-csm-19-your-0-0-non-bloc-and-pi-change-candidate/463110 Hello team, I am Rots Mijnwerker Leader of Out of the Blue. My history in Eve Online has always been about creating content, playing in a community, and growing with the game. My time in EVE truly started in 2005 at the age of 13, playing religiously throughout middle and highschool then well into college. Now after hitting my 30s, it’s a lot easier to look back on the ebb and flow of what EVE has been. I’ve had the pleasure of playing with some great people and fighting others equally as great. I have been encouraged by the EVE community and truly embraced the community building aspect of what the game allows us to collaborate around. I am a very staunch PVPer and sprung headfirst into leadership and FC’ing, today providing almost nightly content for anyone who wants to go forth and shoot. Over the years I have been in many alliances. In some I was the line member or diplomat, in others I was the Head FC, or i lead my own. I have been a part of the following alliances doing my thing in some form or capacity. * Raiden * IEGEX * Red Legion. * Why So Seri0us * Nulli Secunda. * Black Legion. * Insidious. * The Blood Covenant * Darkspawn. * DARKNESS. * VINDICTIVE * FREIGHT TRAIN DIPLOMACY * WE FORM VOLTA * Out of the Blue. * WE FORM BLOB For a period, I took a hiatus and stepped away from the game as I was not happy with where CCP was investing its resources and I had lost interest. In the day and age of COVID 19 – the community was sorely missed, and loneliness set in. Something about being furloughed from the company I build theatrical scenery for and having very little people to talk to while in lock down, feeling unable to express myself in my normal artistic way. That kind of set the tone for why EVE online and the people who play it are important to me. I messaged old friends, and we reformed under the old banners, with all the old history and all the experiences we’ve had. Today I have an outstanding rapport with MANY groups, alliances, their leaders, and members. My areas of Expertise Content Generation (Lowsec, Nullsec and KSpace) New Player Support Fleet Commanding Fleet Concept Building Alliance Logistics Alliance Management Community Building Risk vs Reward Structure Mechanics Sov Mechanics Eve Story Telling Marketing Honest Feedback Why am i applying for CSM candidacy? The overarching goal for me in CSM 19 would be the promotion of EVE online player base growth. I am passionate about new alliances and i feel having many groups across all walks of space promotes a healthy EVE. I want to be apart of ensuring the player base feels they are getting their time’s worth by downloading eve online. The reduction of space work for smaller groups making it easier for content creators to appear and become established is still also a key goal for me since last year’s run for CSM 18. I have put a lot of years into the game and feel i would be a good advocate for the community that plays this game, if either by being a conduit or sharer of ideas...

https://forums.eveonline.com/t/luke-anninan-for-csm19/462976 Hi, my name is Luke Anninan. After two previous terms (CSM17 and 18) I am applying for my third and final term on CSM19. If successful upon completion of CSM19 I will be “term-locked” and have no intention of running when that expires. Below I have summarised my EVE experience, thoughts on the current state of the game as well as the skills and knowledge I can bring if I was re-elected to the CSM. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to comment on the post, find me in discord (I am in most of the EVE community discords) or mail me in game. My EVE Story:I committed to EVE in 2018 (I had tried it on and off before but it had never really stuck). Spending the first couple of weeks in HighSec then later on moving to scanning Wormholes for exploration sites. After about a month of this I decided to take the plunge into NullSec and joined an ill-fated alliance called Deus Vult. At about the time Skillu evicted them from Wicked Creek, so it was time to find another home. My corporation moved to Fraternity in December 2018 months before the second war with TEST kicked off. It was the most fun I have had in my entire EVE career, yes TiDi was awful but there is nothing like the fights that you are invested in. I became an FC (albeit not a very good one, but found a knack for the planning side of things.) flying with all the friends that I had made. For six months we fought tooth and nail to hold Detorid. The end was always inevitable though but I like to think we put up a good fight and didn’t just give up. During this time, When I wasn’t in fleets I spent most of my free time running and learning about incursions and other methods of generating income while our home was camped. As is always the case with the loser of any war we started the migration to our new home towards Oasa and Perrigen falls. Those corps that had stayed for the war, burnt out and most went to find new pastures outside of Fraternity. Being too stubborn to quit (and maybe a glutton for punishment) I took on the role of director in Fraternity looking after the non-Chinese speaking corporations (even if there were only a few of us left at the time). Slowly rebuilding after the war, one by one recruiting new corporations and FC’s, it taught me about a lot of the sides of the game that you don’t always get to see. How to manage large organisations of players, ensuring there’s always something for them to log in for, understanding how sovereignty and income generation works as well as the complex industrial chains required to have the big fights people log in for. It was about this time I created my own corporation, Into Oblivion and started recruiting both veteran players and new players alike. It was a great insight into the new player experience and how they found the NPE, how to foster new players and support their journey in Eve. Also, along the way, pointing players at other areas of the game that they may find more enjoyable when/if they decide the NullSec life may not have been for them. Most of all though creating a place where people can just hang out, chill and play the common game that brought us together as a community. Back when the now resolve BRM changes hit there was a clear need to diversify gameplay from just NullSec activities and expand into LowSec mission running, Pochven, Incursions as well other things like NPC burner missions and exporting to markets etc. which led my alliance and me to Vale of the Silent, an area steeped in constant small gang fleets, and LowSec shenanigans. Now most my time is spent on leadership of my alliance and corporation ensuring that pilots have everything they need to prosper in Eve Online...
