Djlowballer for CSM II

Well today's downtime is sort of lame.  I totally forgot about it until I tried assisting a friend with about 10 minutes before the blackness. Even worse, the EvE forums provide me much needed sanity during my day. See, I have a very active mind and need a constant influx of new information to keep myself focused on my main task. IE: I will be writing a program and studying the math needing implemented but constantly popping to the forums to read a new post. If I try to focus on one or the other I just get a little crazy!

Hello again all.

First, I thank all those who have evemailed me with wishes of support. Considering my thread only has 70 reads but I have counted 90+ mails it means the word is getting out and I have a snowballs chance in hell of winning . To the people who prank called me, way to be assholes. I guess you thought because it was a mobile I would lose money? However in Germany one never pays for incoming calls so the joke is on you.

Where am I going from here? Well I am going to continue campaigning until the end then see where I go from there. I will keep this blog up and just start my campaign for CSM III a little bit early. In EvE I have become addicted to interceptors. For some reason small fast ships appeal to me. I am also excited to see if the price of bombs drop. My dream of 50 bomber secret death wing might actually be feasible now.

Who am I? I am everyone and no one. I am the backbone of eve. I am the cargo hauler who makes your items move about the galaxy. I am the little name next to the item in the market window. I am the slow ship clearing the salvage off of your mess. I am the friendly person in that random system who puts a smile on your face for a brief moment. I am the idiot who walked into you gatecamp.

Most people in EvE fight for the individual glory, to rise and be the next story featured on IGN or EON, I fight for collective greatness. In all of my eve lives I have been just another cog in the great machine of the universe. Never have I ever killed another player, nor have I ever done more in a firefight than scare off ore thieves. I have no big scams to date, nor have I ever been featured as a great industrialist. Like most of eve I am just a simple man struggling to make ends meet. My glory lies in those moments where I see the cap ship that I contributed to roll out, or when my corp can expand to another system and live more comfortably.

I am DjLowballer(second account DjHighballer), pilot for Stormtrooper Corps, member of the mostly harmless alliance and I would like to be elected to the CSM to represent you the everymen of EvE.

 To me EvE is something special, it is freedom in a world where MMO now means Everquest clones. Our universe is an amazing entity that deserves so much more credit than the mainstream gives it.  I would like the chance to help give it the care and guidance it deserves. EvE is not like other games where the Developers crap out some content, we eat it, then beg for more. No EvE is a sandbox where CCP hands us toys and we figure out how WE want to use them. We as capsule pilots are as much an intregal part of the world as the ships we fly in. As such our input and thoughts are VITAL to the continued life of our game. Without us, there is just a bunch of junk on a server in Iceland sitting around being lame.

I have been playing since near launch, but my time is divided into two lives. My first life was with my old account. I was inspired by so many stories in eve that I had to get in on the action. I sucked. I fell into the young dumb, big is better ship mold. It ended up in the end with me trained on BS, and Freighters, but flat broke.
My second age this current account and its sister(DjHighballer). I started out right this time, building off learning skills and focusing on being good at a ship before moving to a new class. As such I have been infinitely more profitable and satisified. My playtime is "On Call". You must understand my corp is Communist. We are one entity, fighting to collectively improve in the universe. As such there is no need for me to grind isk, or run missions, or really do anything for myself. Instead I come when its time and participate in corp events. This might sound strange to outsiders, but it actually makes my time in EvE more meaningful. I am always having fun and have a strong sense of unity with the corp.

My candidacy is based on the idea that a council of the people should actually have at least one of the working class as a member. Sure I dont have the credentials of the lord of the goonswarm, nor am I a Chibbra. My viewpoint is just from the trenches. I do have views as you can see, but these pale in comparison to the voice of the people. As one of your CSM Electorate I would be your voice.

When I say for the people I mean LITERALLY for you. Drop me an email, let me know how things are. Stop me during my travels and just let me know how your experience in eve is going. Have something to say? Lets talk! Seriously give me your number and I will call you within 24h. I will do whatever it takes to help get your ideas into the hand of CCP Devs. I cannot promise that I will be able to change their minds, but I can promise they will at least get sick of hearing me talk :)
If elected I am able to devote about 25-30 hours a week to representing your interests. If there is more to be done, I could squeeze a little more out on the weekends. I know this is a humble amount, but I promise my time will be well spent. I will also be available to schedule interviews with individuals who have a particular concern or question.

So when you cast that vote soon, what will it be. For an individual working as a representative for his people or for a voice with the thoughts of 200,000 players? I hope you give me a chance!

Keep Posted Here for update on the campaign trail. I will try and update the issues as they come up. See you later space cowboy!
