<br />
This morning I awoke to a number of messages via text, Twitter, Skype, in-game mail, Facebook, and even a polite phone call informing me that an article had been published and was circulating the internet that was the product of an interview that Corbexx and I had participated in with Cassandra Khaw during Fanfest.<br />
<br />
Firstly, I will say Fanfest was an amazing adventure and the opportunity to explore Iceland, see a Solar Eclipse, enjoy meeting with CCP developers, players, and friends was wonderful! While attending, as I was walking through the Harpa with a couple friends, I ran into my CSM representative and friend, Corbexx, who was excited to share with me that he had been interviewing with Cassandra and they had stumbled onto the topic of 'Bob, the Wormhole God'. He had told her that he knew a guy who could speak to the "religion" with a bit more clarity, and invited me to accompany him to the media area to meet with her. We tried to acquire Asay from Adhocracy to speak to the player origin of the reference, then I'd speak to the lore development of 'Bob', but alas, Asay was unable to attend, so we talked briefly and I shared with Cassandra Asay's perspective on the player development in the earliest iteration of 'Bob'.<br />
<br />
Afterward, I shared with her the scripture and lore development that had taken place to explain the religion and some context to religion's role in communities, real and ingame, for explaining the unknown. The following was the product of our interview, published on The Verge:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/31/8313011/eve-online-religion-bob" target="_blank">EVE Online has a god named Bob | How the sci-fi virtual world spawned a strange new religion</a><br />
<br />
As I read the article, I was very excited by the continuity between the published article and the interview that we had with Cassandra. She understood very well the story or Bob and his demand of blood from players who transgress against him and disobey the laws of his realm.<br />
<br />
There has been some confusion about Bob by some outside the wormhole community and even a few outside the Eve Online community. For clarification, the player alliance 'Band of Brothers' is 'BoB', and 'Bob, the Wormhole God' is a different entity entirely. They have no relation to one another, and BoB is dead, but Bob reigns eternal and lives always in the hearts and minds of the acolytes of his faith. Secondly, 'Bob' of Eve Online is not related in any way to the 'Church of SubGenius' of Bob Dobbs. The only thing these three have in common is the name "BOB", which is ironically a nickname for one of the most common names of the last few centuries.<br />
<br />
That being said, the end of Cassandra's article led to a recording made by BBC journalist Adam Rosser, who took the opportunity to orate the Gospel of Onimuru, which I had written earlier, referencing the origin of Bob in the lore of Eve Online's wormhole community.<br />
<br />

<br />
As I checked the social media, I saw some really nice sharing by developers and players!<br />

In closing for this article, I'll share some unrelated videos that I've recently enjoyed, first being the 'Eve is Real' video which incorporates CCP's adoption of player-driven interaction for their most successful trailer ever, and the other was released at Fanfest 2015 during the Valkyrie presentation which I was able to see firsthand in Reykjavik on the big-screen! It was amazing!<br />

<br />
<b>Corbexx</b> - As I've stated before, Corbexx is the powerhouse CSM representative that wormhole space needs to ensure the health of the community as game development continues. Over CSM9, Corbexx led an absolute ton of projects and work to gather data, hear from players, and check/validate game changes that were rolled out by CCP (such as Hyperion). There hasn't been and isn't currently a better candidate to represent the wormhole community. <b>If you are a wormhole resident, daytripper, or simply a player who loves wormhole gameplay, Corbexx should no doubt be your #1 vote!</b><br />

<br />
<b>Sugar Kyle</b> - Sugar Kyle has near single-handedly proved that CSM representatives can constantly and openly communicate with the playerbase, keeping them informed in a manner that would allow for understanding and feedback, while then taking the time to receive that feedback. She has, along with Corbexx and couple others, maintained some of the best transparency possible by any CSM delegation. Sugar is smart, articulate, and driven as a person, which allows her to capitalize on the opportunities she finds while serving on the CSM. <b>If you aren't a wormholer, she should most assuredly be your #1 vote! If you are a wormholer, I would encourage you to place her as your #2, as she has worked hand-in-hand with Corbexx over the last year and shown that although they have different experience and individually represent different playstyles, they manage to accomplish a tremendously great deal serving on the same delegation.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Steve Ronuken</b> - Fuzzy Steve has been a tremendous voice on CSM9 for the third party development, while supporting the expansion of communication to the playerbase through third party services. Steve is friendly, approachable, and dedicated to doing a great job when he says he intends to serve this community. <b>I strongly encourage anyone who is voting this year to place him in your top five, as supporting Steve will ensure that a seat isn't wasted on CSMX!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Endie</b> - Having followed Endie's campaign closely, I can say that he has an amazing understanding of the null community, SOV mechanics, and the many facets within that area of gameplay and how it affects the overall game. I think that Endie is the representative needed to lead what I will recommend as the SOV Trifecta running this year! <b>If you want to ensure that SOV has good players providing the needed recommendations and feedback as CCP leads in developing their revamp of those mechanics, Endie needs to be at the top of your list!</b><br />

<br />
<b>Psianh Auyvander </b>and <b>Manfred Sideous</b> - Psianh and Manny are the two mercenary representatives needed for CSMX. When CCP takes a look at SOV mechanics, Wardec mechanics, piracy, and the various "secs" throughout the game, it is important that the CSM has experienced players speaking to those areas. Psianh has been training mercs for a long time and understands the needs of the players and the areas that need work/help. Manny has been FC'ing and leading within Pandemic Legion, the largest mercenary group in Eve Online, for ages and has been involved in the largest fights in computer gaming history. Manny is also the second of the SOV Trifecta and both of these players should serve on CSMX!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPU_djwp7JOyfdGF3bhWE7wA-GmxhGpNdrlZKcmsui6G9d-H_kw7UxH0Fq1nbMGy9rPnoV8oa0chyphenhyphenQg1Len5aMr7Iv94qKNHt5Dgz7_t-JJSMTe6Hvnm_PERgHUhiL8ICs7MnE56dt6vw/s1600/Sion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPU_djwp7JOyfdGF3bhWE7wA-GmxhGpNdrlZKcmsui6G9d-H_kw7UxH0Fq1nbMGy9rPnoV8oa0chyphenhyphenQg1Len5aMr7Iv94qKNHt5Dgz7_t-JJSMTe6Hvnm_PERgHUhiL8ICs7MnE56dt6vw/s1600/Sion.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Sion Kumitomo</b> - Sion is my final endorsement and is also the third member of the SOV Trifecta. Sion had the experience and the knowledge that made him a wise choice for CSM9, and that holds true for CSMX. Along with Endie and Manny, this trifecta is what I feel is needed on CSMX to ensure that as the SOV changes being developed, along with Capital/Super work, POS's and Corp/Alliance Management, CCP has the right CSM delegates to work and communicate with throughout the process. <b>Endie, Manny, and Sion should be on everyone's ballots!</b><br />
<br />
With that last being said, if you want a CSMX that is successful, the above players all need a seat! These players are the players that I feel will work the hardest and have the best experience and expertise for these positions. They cross a wide variety of gameplay styles, but they all have specific strengths that will make them a perfect delegation for this year! If you want a successful CSM, place all of these candidates on your ballot this year!<br />
<br />
<b>Now, the following are a list of candidates I encourage players don't vote or add to their voting slates for CSMX; my"No Vote" list: </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Angrod Losshelin</b> - Angrod is a self-proclaimed "wormhole" candidate, however has spent the near entirety of his campaign ranting on the multi-boxing platform with a terrible understanding of the mechanics and impact of the systems. He claims to have botted in previous games, however claiming that he hasn't in Eve, but wishes to primarily represent the multi-boxing/ISBoxing community. He is polarizing, argumentative, and personally I don't think he will serve as a good representative for this community, and I feel that a seat would be wasted if players voted for this candidate. <b>He seems more inline with the crazy ranting on the steps of congress than an actual congressman.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Bane Cortex</b> - Bane is a relative unknown who stepped up as another self-proclaimed "wormhole" candidate. With an unknown and questionable background, Bane has been near AFK for the majority of his campaign, and although I don't imagine he has any chance of a seat on CSMX, I wanted to note that wormholers shouldn't vote for this candidate as he doesn't seem to have the time, experience, or knowledge to be an individual contributor, much less a CSM representative.<br />

<b>Xenuria</b> - <b>Troll candidate, please ignore.</b> This sums up Xenuria's continued annual mockery of the CSM process. This megalomaniac has zero reason to serve on the CSM, and doesn't reflect or represent the playerbase of Eve Online. Nothing good can come of Xenuria serving on CSMX. I highly encourage everyone to simply ignore this candidate all together.<br />

<b>Jenshae Chiroptera</b> - Another polarizing candidate, this Provi-bloc player has ran a campaign that is arguably the most dirty of this campaign, using his campaign to sling mud at former CSM representatives, and using the threads to attack and argue against fellow candidates. This player is unlikely to be a productive member of CSMX, and I'd encourage a complete "no vote" in this case as with the other three on this list.<br />

I encourage players to review the candidates, but if you are interested in a solid CSMX, this list embodies the 14 players I personally wish to see represent our playerbase this year!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04871469127825598700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802198884776613100.post-80155390721301894122015-02-22T04:13:00.000-08:002015-02-22T11:05:01.253-08:00CSMX | First Look and Thoughts | Wormhole Candidates<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's that time of the year, and although I've decided against running due to real world obligations and responsibilities, I've taken a keen interest in reviewing, monitoring, and tracking the progression of the CSMX Elections.<br />
<br />
Remembering how excited I was last year to find a blog that mentioned my campaign and speculation during the election process, I will provide that to this year's candidates (although a couple won't be excited to read my articles).<br />
<br />
The following is the introduction list for the CSMX candidates approved and running, along with a one source for all candidates and their associated threads, ingame information, interviews, and contact information:<br />
<br />
<b>Candidates: <a href="https://community.eveonline.com/community/csm/candidates/">https://community.eveonline.com/community/csm/candidates/</a></b><br />
<b>One Source: <a href="http://goo.gl/XCbMNn">http://goo.gl/XCbMNn</a></b><br />
<br />
I'll start by talking about the wormhole candidates that are running, and my thoughts on their campaigns. The list is sorted by quality.<br />
<br />
<b>Corbexx:</b> This fine candidate has served as the primary voice and representative of the wormhole community on CSM9, has led in countless discussions and meetings, hosted QnA's, townhalls, and developed many avenues for collecting and understanding community ideas and concerns over the last year. I've had the priviledge of campaigning with Corbexx last year and communicating with him over the last year in support of his CSM9 projects and efforts. His experience in wormholes is extensive and he is absolutely the most qualified candidate running to represent wormholes this year.<br />
<br />
<i>**Editor's Note: CivilWars is currently not listed as an approved candidate. I'm hoping that this may be similar to my delayed announcement last year. If he resigns, I'll update this article to reflect.**</i><br />
<br />
<b>CivilWars: </b>Civil isn't running as a wormhole representative, however having flown against and with him and his allies over the last few years, I know very well his experience and knowledge of wormholes, PVP, SOV, playerbase, community, politics, and game mechanics. As with a couple others, please note that he hasn't committed to list himself as a wormhole candidate, but anyone looking to vote in CSMX candidates that know their stuff about wormholes, Civil is one of the guys you should know about.<br />
<br />
<b>Ariete: </b>This candidate is a line member of Sleeper Social Club, a long standing contributor to the wormhole community. Having the opportunity to follow his campaign and field questions to him at the <a href="http://www.cloakyscout.com/?podcast=cloaky-scout-presents-csm-x-w-space-town-hall" target="_blank">recent townhall debate</a>, I can say that he seems to be quite a nice guy. That said, nice guy doesn't mean he's going to be a good wormhole representative and his campaign is trying very hard to align and support Corbexx as the #2 candidate for the prospective "wormhole seats" on CSMX. That said, I've shared my concern that he isn't bringing anything to the table that shows he will be a strong second for Corbexx and honestly <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5506153#post5506153" target="_blank">I feel</a> his involvement with the community and interactivity with the playerbase is too insignificant to really help him to be a viable candidate this year.<br />
<br />
<b>Asherothi:</b> Ash is another one that <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5479946#post5479946" target="_blank">has stated</a> that he isn't running as a wormhole candidate. That said, he currently heads a corporation living in wormhole space and already has at least mild experience with the wormhole mechanics and gameplay. He is proposing a pretty long-winded scouting reform that he says will directly impact wormhole residents. I'll read it eventually, and provide a tl;dr for you all, but <a href="http://thelemicascension.blogspot.com/2015/02/scouting.html" target="_blank">here it is</a> if you are interested. Another one worth watching and seeing how his campaign flows.<br />
<br />
<b>Chance Ravinne:</b> Wingspantt has become well known as a novelty and likes to see himself as partially a wormhole candidate. I've yet to really dig into his campaign, but my first impression is that he's humorous and has a pretty good attitude. That said, I think his campaign may be riding the relative fame he's achieved and I'd be concerned with burnout and idling a seat similar to other past CSM delegates. I'll write more on his campaign after I get involved in dialogue with this candidate.<br />
<br />
<b>Angrod Losshelin:</b> Angrod is the host of <a href="http://praisebobpodcast.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Praise Bob podcast</a>, something I've enjoyed listening to in the past, however I will state very clearly that his polarizing approach to his campaign regarding multiboxing has led to me omitting him from consideration for CSMX. Honestly, his campaign is more like a rant about multiboxing and he has narrowed his scope and advocacy to exclude many wormholers and players who want a more level-headed and approachable CSM that is willing to discuss with the playerbase.<br />
<br />
<b>Thoric Frosthammer:</b> This candidate is leadership for LAWN, member of the CFC, however this candidate has <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5463412#post5463412" target="_blank">spent time in wormholes</a> and likely could speak to the mechanics and have a basic understanding, so I'd encourage players to field wormhole questions and see his answers. I'll be providing a list of questions to each "wormhole candidate" (term is wildly loose this year) directly and link the responses to help provide a baseline of experience for our player community.<br />
<br />
<b>Bane Cortex:</b> This participant is an absolutely woodwork candidate. I had never met or heard from him prior to announcing his candidacy, despite my close interaction and friendship with the alliance leader of his "notable" wormhole group, Ragnarok. After speaking with some friends, I've learned that this player is a pretty nice guy and really trying his best in this campaign. That said, I don't think he has the experience to run for CSM, much less the activity and experience to represent the wormhole community.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this "first look" provides an initial direction for wormhole players interested in knowing what candidates to take a look at off the bat. Like I've stated, some of these candidates are not running as wormhole candidates, but have wormhole experience. Note that I may change my opinion of these candidates as the campaigns continue, but this is my first look and thoughts of the wormhole-experienced players running for CSMX. Cheers!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, while perusing Reddit today, I noticed that a small group of wormhole players used some out of game antics to yield killmails. The following was the OP's story:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We found a Navy Issue Raven ratting in a C3, so we formed up a little gang to relieve him of his ship. As luck would have it, he logged out just as we formed the gang on his High Sec entrance. While debating what we should we do, a Retriever (of the same corp) warped to the High Sec, seeing our gang sitting on the hole. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Feeling a bit creative, I managed to track down their teamspeak server, and joined the channel that the Retriever pilot was in. He knew we had a HIC and my Proteus inside their hole. I started chatting them up, asking about what was going on. Once they filled me in, I explained to them how I "thought" HICS worked. "If you jump the retriever in, and align to the POS then hit warp, the bubble won't affect you". </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This bit of information emboldened our poor Retriever pilot to jump into the wormhole, align to his POS, and try as hard as he could to warp to it. An Onyx bubble, and my Proteus would be his downfall. And this is why you don't let strangers into your TeamSpeak, nor heed the words they tell you. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">TLDR: Joined a Teamspeak server, talked a pilot into jumping into a hole I was camping, blew up his ship. </span> </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2l8n1d/this_is_what_happens_when_you_let_anyone_connect/" target="_blank">His Reddit thread</a> linked to the Retriever kill: <a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/42203785/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/42203785/</a> and while looking at the kill, I noticed the corporation: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://evewho.com/corp/NEMESIS+INCORPORATED" target="_blank">NEMESIS INCORPORATED</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, isn't that a nice nostalgic surprise, as NEMESIS INC were the same guys we had messed with just over a year ago. When we had our day/s with them, they were dabbling with LIVE streaming on Twitch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, what had happened was that a day earlier we had seen some old friends streaming sites as they were running them in a wormhole connected to their home. We were watching the stream and chatting with them on Twitch and in game, as we heard from one of the Obstergo directors that he stumbled across the hole they were running sites, roughly four or five jumps through a chain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We played it cool, and formed up, while watching them enjoying their sites, and I continued to chat with them. Once ready we ran down the chain, with intent on killing their Moros. Well, suffice it to say "Op Success" as we killed the Moros and watched ourselves on Twitch as we did it. If you'd like to enjoy that video, I'd encourage you to start around 34 minutes in to see them having fun right before we had fun:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.twitch.tv/nedjasons/c/2598684">http://www.twitch.tv/nedjasons/c/2598684</a> (Gank is around 35 minutes.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leading to this Moros casualty: <a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32011870/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32011870/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...and his pod (never forget): <a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32011881/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32011881/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this point, we were talking to Bitten. leadership about bringing Obstergo into their alliance, and had been chatting with some of their members about our recent Twitch gank. They were excited about doing it aswell, so the hunt for the next target began, leading to us finding a corp, NEMESIS INC, streaming themselves running sites with Tengus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.twitch.tv/nemesis_inc/b/433055793"><u><strike>http://www.twitch.tv/nemesis_inc/b/433055793</strike></u></a></span><br />
<br />
The stream of our gank used to reside at the above link, however the streamer has since removed the wonderful content that was generated by his stream. However, we do have a screanshot and the killmails to remember the fun event:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32031397/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32031397/</a><br />
<a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32031405/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32031405/</a><br />

...and this was his face at the moment we arrived: <a href="http://i.gyazo.com/88aeff4836e55b277254ff80751a02ef.png">http://i.gyazo.com/88aeff4836e55b277254ff80751a02ef.png</a><br />
The "meme" was something he had smugly said about "if" he were to get ganked. However, this event didn't deter them, as shortly thereafter, we managed to farm these same streamers again for content and good times:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32087625/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32087625/</a><br />
<a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/32129088/">https://zkillboard.com/kill/32129088/</a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, we moved on to greener pastures, leaving the streamers to their thing, but we never forgot the great memories generated by the streaming community, who allowed us to make guest appearances on their respective shows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheers and thanks to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">T'Alana for sparking the memories</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">! </throwback_tuesday></span><br />

The last couple of years have been a roller coaster of excitment, boredom, adventure, and challenges. Corporations and Alliances rise and fall, and although many may not have been a fan of the Obstergo pilots or myself, I enjoyed the content, both good times and the bad times with all those we met, fought, and played Eve Online with over the last couple years.<br />

</tbody></table>
The first year provided a ton of excitement, with our band of bros moving to w-space with Varion Galactic as the North burned and the Northern Coalition fell. We endured many of the issues that made wormholes a frontier, and enjoyed playing during a time of continuing discovery. It was a pioneering life and it was fun, but as many groups discover in wormholes, the lust for money overcomes some. This later led to the formation of Obstergo, a group of PVPers that were uninterested in the site running agenda of our alliance. This all inevitably led to my favorite event in the game, and my best titled post... ever :)<br />

Year Two was the year we enjoyed the wormhole political arena. Say what you will, but wormholes have a ton of politics, rules, and diplomacy. In the second year, Obstergo grew to near 150 members, which was the height of our membership. Before and since then, we idled around 100 members (less players). Anyhow, we had great fun playing in the meta with Hathrul, Chitsa, Max, Ayeson, Hidden, Star, James, and the others. As the second year was closing, we formed Red Coat Conspiracy, opened the Diogenes Club, and became the classiest group in New Eden (with CCP even gifting our Red Coats to the whole of Eve that Christmas, not a conspiracy).<br />

With that, we are well into Year Three, much has happened and RCC has sorta survived. The Red Coats recently separated with Daktaklakpak and Big Johnson's and Obstergo have negotiated a merger. I had recently stepped away from the game due to some obligations out of game, but was told by my friend, Thor667, that the Obstergo members would be merging into Big Johnson's corporation directly. This was not the best news I've ever received, but I'm glad that my friends are continuing with their community.<br />

<a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=338174" target="_blank">As the twists continue</a>, the White Walkers and Dothraki razed King's Landing and the surrounding towns and cities. House Baratheon was unable to secure a route to defend the great capital and a last stand wasn't achieved. Stannis and his brethren decided it was time to leave Westeros for the time, heading east across the Narrow Sea.<br />
<br />
As House Baratheon headed toward Essos, sights set on Meereen, many questions were asked about the future of this once great family. The Game of Holes has seen a fair share of Houses break apart from internal strife of late, with House Lannister breaking into factions as Tyrion and Jaime Lannister rolled out; House Greyjoy broke apart after Balon Greyjoy abandoned Pyke; House Martell has been splitting after Oberyn Martell's recent marriage to Roose Bolton; Even the United Dothraki Federation separated forces after Khal Drogo poo'd on another Khal's chair at their latest summit.<br />
<br />
House Baratheon hasn't collapsed. Stannis and his brethren are continuing to survive, and hopefully in Meereen, they will save their House from the sweeping internal travesties that are splitting the great Houses of the once glorious Westeros. It may be that the Game of Holes will twist and turn until all of the Houses are reduced to ash.<br />
<br />
Only time will tell.<br />

<br />
In an <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=338174" target="_blank">unexpected twist</a>, the White Walkers have recently teamed up with the Dothraki in an attempt to attack House Baratheon whilst they were transiting from their stay at King's Landing. In this hostile act, the attackers have invaded King's Landing, codenamed "Valhalla", and have laid siege to the surrounding towns in the region.<br />
<br />
Stannis Baratheon has spoken with a not-so-dead Khal Drogo, to which Stannis determined that the Dothraki would be more inclined to eat their own feces than attempt coherent thought. When conversing with the White Walkers, Stannis learned that Google translate hasn't been updated for "North of the Wall" languages.<br />
<br />
As the summer is kicking off, the Game of Holes is already twisting and turning as House Baratheon and their bannermen continue their preparation at Dragonstone. <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=346925" target="_blank">Hopefully an interesting story unfolds...</a><br />

In null, it was the large fleet brawls with about every type of class that our alliances/coalitions could imagine. In wormholes, most of the time it was the Armor T3 w/ Archons and Dreads. Manual piloting and solo play is something that has been relatively rare in my PVP experience, but this morning was different. Barry Dacella invited me to fly with him on a roam through null, as he has done a few times, but this time, I took him up on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had three null exits, two leading to Tenal and one to Great Wildlands. We traveled out through the first null exit to Tenal, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOuI4OqJfQc&feature=kp" target="_blank">just Barry in a Stiletto and me, in a Vagabond</a>. Barry scouted us through a few jumps, and nothing. So we went back into Styx, our static wormhole, and moved down the chain to the next null, in Great Wildlands. I stayed on the entrance to null, and Barry scouted around a bit. Nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, our only hope was that we could find some fun in the second Tenal exit. Barry scouted ahead and told me that there was a system about twelve jumps out that would make for a fun roam, leading over to Deklein. As we traveled toward our destination, we didn't see much, save a ratting Widow that ran when we entered system and a couple Ishtars and such that followed suit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of our alliancemates, Zkillz showed up and decided to join us, bringing a Thorax down the route toward our location. As we reached our Deklein destination, we found a couple Skiffs messing about and Barry tackled one of them. They linked their defense fleet in local and as I landed and began attacking the Skiff, an Ishtar, Legion, and Cerberus landed to engage Barry and me. Knowing this wasn't likely going to work for us with more enroute toward the belt, Barry and I bounced out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Zkillz tells us on comms that activity down the route was increasing and a couple minutes later that a Hurricane and Stiletto were on top of him at a gate two jumps away from us. We begin burning to him. Barry lands as Zkillz loses his Thorax and points the Stiletto and Hurricane. The Hurricane manages to get away and Barry focuses on the other Stiletto.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I land and begin orbiting the Stiletto. Wrong. Barry corrects me and I begin manually flying perpendicular to the Stiletto and it dies. Revenge for Zkillz! They killed our Thorax, we pod their Stiletto.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After that, we begin heading back home. A couple jumps later, Barry tells me that a Deimos and another Stiletto were on the gate and he scrambles the Deimos. I jump in and approach the Deimos to brawl. Wrong. Barry corrects me again, but it's a little late and I'm completely tackled by the Deimos and the Stiletto.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the fight kicks off I begin beating as hard as I can on the Deimos. I had lost my drones during the engagement with the Skiff, so it is just my Vulcan AC's doing the work. As the Deimos enters Armor, I tell Barry that I think I'm breaking him, but then he begins to active tank. I'm overheating everything hoping to go down swinging. Barry tells me to switch to the Stiletto to ensure a kill before I die, but I keep punching the Deimos. Then the weirdest thing happened. The Deimos begins to bleed structure and the tides turn. Barry points the Stiletto and throws a shot at the Deimos, stealing my final blow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few seconds later, we kill the other Stiletto. As the Stiletto died, a couple cruisers jumped into us. My Vaga was down to about 47% Armor, with most of my modules about burnt out. I told Barry that fighting the new ships would be unlikely. So we left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">End of the day, I need a ton of work to get better at Solo PVP and manual piloting. I got lucky this time, but remember never orbit or approach Stiletto's and Deimos' in a Nano-Vaga. Also, a quick prayer to Bob yields pretty solid results. Until next time, Cheers!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04871469127825598700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802198884776613100.post-75211108378792339402014-05-14T08:45:00.004-07:002014-05-14T08:50:42.223-07:00Loot Piñatas and Pretty Pictures<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Woke up this morning to a ping, "<b>LOOT PINATA LOG IN LOG IN CAPS TO STEAL!</b>" and "<b>Need rev pilot NOW!</b>"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, I thought to myself, "<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUWhjjfOFec" target="_blank">I'm pilot.</a></b>"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I log into comms and find out that a corporation </span><a href="http://evewho.com/corp/SEGM+Seal+Cub+Clubbing+Club" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">SEGM Seal Cub Clubbing Club</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> had allowed a tower to offline, and one of our glorious scouts, </span><a href="http://evewho.com/pilot/Ghenghis+Kralj" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">Ghenghis Kralj</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, discovered it. As our merry band of early birds began to muster a clean up crew, I came in and boarded the beautifully near-useless Revelation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aaannnnd began shooting things. After we popped the remaining internals, I aligned toward our home, Valhalla, and waited for our brethren to complete looting the drops from the Corporate Hangar and the remaining ships. I killed a Shuttle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After we were about done, and I began to wake up a bit, I realized that we hadn't destroyed the Hardeners, Polymer Silos, and a couple Arrays at the top of the POS. I warped to the Planet, then realized the majesty that was their Shattered Planet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">559.</span></b> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the final number of the “Proc 4 CSM9”
campaign. I went a tad quiet, outside my immediate friends, after the results
were announced at Fanfest while waiting for this information. As I read that CCP Leeloo had released
the raw data, I anxiously waited for an opportunity to learn how well or poorly
I performed in this election, since I was in a location where I couldn't
immediately pull the data.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I finally saw the numbers, I’ll admit, I was
disappointed. I went into this campaign knowing
that I had done a pretty solid job of upsetting a number of people in the game
for various reasons, and it was part of the gameplay, also I tend to troll
sometimes… When I put away that hat and invested time into running for CSM9, I
hoped that I could prove that I was actually serious and that my goal was to
serve the community. At the end of the day, I did accomplish this to some degree. For
those that either couldn’t let go of previous interactions, personal dislike,
corporate/alliance dislike, or simply didn’t want to vote for me for one reason
or another, I regret that I was unable to convince you that I was sincere about
earning your vote.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

position in the election by 79 votes. This means we were less than 100 votes
from electing two wormhole representatives this year. I have full confidence
that Corbexx will do a good job this year on CSM9, and hopefully the wormhole
community will enjoy some positive changes or positive non-changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As for CSMX,
I’ll say that although I felt that I could have done better, I now have a
better understanding of this process and this was an interesting learning
experience. I’m not going to say that I plan to run for CSMX, but I’m not
ruling it out. I’ll continue to support the wormhole community, my friends, and
be involved in different aspects of the game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, during an excavation on a small moon near Planet IX in the J205141 solar system, archaeologists discovered an assortment of documents preserved within what is appearing to be the remnants of some ancient space craft. The archaeologists have been unable to classify the origin of the wreckage, but are in agreement that the ship predates the rise of the Empires and seems to have "sleepless technology." Prominent language experts have been working to decipher the discovered manuscripts and have been able to translate what appears to be some religious texts related to the origin and collapse of the Eve Gate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1 </span>And it came to pass, as the Lord peered across New Eden, that he was displeased with the people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 And their eyes saw him not, and also their minds knew him not, for they had forgotten their Lord.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 As he considered their nature, their Lord decided a punishment for his forsaken children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 He had led them to New Eden, a gate, a clear path to promised lands, but they forsake his name and forget his presence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5 And Bob closed the path.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 Darkness would be their punishment, and his children would suffer their own ignorance until they remembered the blessings of their Lord.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7 As the multitude of people across New Eden realized their fate, they began to fade into the darkness for many years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">8 Their strife and conflict arose from unrighteousness, and their punishment hardened their hearts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">9 They remembered their Lord, but blasphemed his name, for they could only see the loss and remembered not their blessings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10 As the people began to unify against their Lord, Bob cast them out, transfigured their tongues, and divided their families.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">11 Their union, once one, was now divided, becoming five nations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">12 Unable to commune, they left for other worlds, and all lost contact, and one nation traveled further than the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">13 And the fifth nation found the void, the home of their Lord.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">14 Their Lord before them, they begged mercy upon them, and pledged devotion to him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">15 Bob was pleased with them, but demanded an offering of his followers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">16 The fifth nation gave up their souls to their Lord, in return he gave them immortality, to rest beside him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">17 With this new life, their nation was sent forth to explore New Eden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">18 And for an many years, the fifth nation explored the worlds, and watched the other four nations, their trials and tribulations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">19 A day arrived when their Lord called for them to share their glory and their knowledge with the four lost nations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">20 They gave them immortality in his name, but the nations forsake their Lord, yet again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">21 Bob was displeased, and placed rage in the hearts of the four nations, and the fifth he swept away, his children returned to the void.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">22 And the nations waged an unending war, forgetting their Lord for a time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">23 As their Lord gazed upon his lost flock, he waited for their return home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"The monument is an a outdoor sculpture by the artist Sigurður Guðmundsson with help and input from EVE Online‘s own art directors Börkur Eiríksson and Ásgeir Jón Ásgeirsson. It will stand at over five meters tall and will consist of two main elements facing each other through a highly polished stainless steel surface in the middle that reflects and mirrors the elements and the landscape. On the left side of the model stands a dark aluminum structure with a quote from the EVE Universe and on the right a dark granite facial figure representing the players behind the game."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, Xenuria is a quite infamous player, known throughout a number of communities for various <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGmegh8PUAs" target="_blank">shenanigans</a> and various actions leading to him being very well known in some circles, albeit almost never more than to be ridiculed and/or the butt of any number of jokes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That being said, I think this guy is a goofball, but harmless. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple days ago, when I saw that a Bee Sticker had been placed on the monument, that some players were claiming was vandalism, I felt it was distasteful, and something that shouldn't have happened, but it was easy enough to remove.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz4sfpT1W0DaRF57ekP8V2TXz4sjlmqJLDCEsrJ-mk4iAFWDJGikog_kfD3wOvh6VNsUKFcD7OZunBi-QhpHqReVtYPpMHSGl2xv5risNTQH_M2dRnsvg-OruYvk72CEuIipxz13P1ezg/s1600/monument_goon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz4sfpT1W0DaRF57ekP8V2TXz4sjlmqJLDCEsrJ-mk4iAFWDJGikog_kfD3wOvh6VNsUKFcD7OZunBi-QhpHqReVtYPpMHSGl2xv5risNTQH_M2dRnsvg-OruYvk72CEuIipxz13P1ezg/s1600/monument_goon.jpg" height="358" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, while the sticker was distasteful/disagreeable and to some vandalism, I can say that scratching out someone's name, regardless of who the player is in the game, is clearly vandalism and completely disrespectful to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sigurður Guðmundsson, Börkur Eiríksson, Ásgeir Jón Ásgeirsson, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">CCP Games, the residents of Reykjavik, and the entire Eve playerbase. Now, some may say that I may be blowing up the importance/relevance of this monument and this incident, but to be fair, I was happy to see them establish something dedicated to the game and it's community, and quite proud that I have a few names on there. I'll also look forward to seeing this monument and my names when I get the opportunity to visit.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyhow, I hope that CCP Games finds the appropriate resolution and that actions like this don't continue. This is why we can't have nice things, guys...</span><br />

Word from the bird is that these ships (as Caldari/Galente) will have bonuses to Scrams/Disruptors (Gallente) as well as Missile bonuses to velocity/range and possibly Shield-related bonuses (Caldari). I'd posit that the role bonuses will be Missile-related.</div>

<br />
My name is Proc, and I used to be the <a href="http://casualcapsuleer.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Casual Capsuleer</a>, but after this adventure down the <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=325889" target="_blank">CSM9 campaign</a> path and the continued growth and involvement with my community, I can't really call myself "casual". Honestly, not sure I ever could. That aside, I'm active and with this activity, I want to announce and roll out a new "thing".<br />
<br />
With the help of some friends, and with the help and support of the wormhole community, a few of us are developing a new podcast. This new podcast will encompass many facets of various styles of gameplay and provide new content and listening opportunities to the Eve Online community. Some of the future ideas in the works:<br />
<br />
<b>Crossfire: New Eden</b> - A show within The Diogenes Club Network that focuses on one-one debates between individuals willing to speak on various subjects. From opposing FC's discussing particular battles, ganks, and fights, to outspoken community members debating various topics throughout the community.<br />
<br />
<b>The Diogenes Club</b> - The main show where the hosts discuss the wormhole community, upcoming changes, existing issues, known problems and work arounds, and the various ideas and content within the overall wormhole community. (Guests and Guest Hosts Welcome)<br />
<br />
<b>The Minister's Minutes</b> - A "hard" News update of CCP - Community-related changes and issues, Alliance and Corporate changes/growth/mergers/collapses, notable fights/battles/evictions/attempts, and overall current events within the Wormhole community.<br />
<br />
<b>Pilots of the Void</b> - This segment will allow a host to interview one-one various pilots, leaders, FC's, and content creators within the wormhole community. (Guests and Guest Hosts Welcome)<br />
<br />
<b>CSM9 Wormhole Update</b> - This segment will allow for the wormhole CSM9 delegate to update the community with anything of note, with occasional staff discussion or QnA's.<br />
<br />
With so much more potential. The above are a few of the segments that can/will comprise The Diogenes Club show. If you have an idea for a segment, which is wormhole related, or provides good SFW content for our Eve Community, and/or you'd like to join our staff, please eve-mail <u>Proclus Diadochu</u> to get involved.
