A quick question to those who read my blog.

What do you feel is right or indeed wrong with the current implementation of Wardecs?

This topic has been brought to my attention as Agony were recently Wardeced. The forum lit up with joy as the possibility of PvP in more locations was opened up (with the usual warnings not to autopilot through highsec).

From our point of view a Wardec doesn’t hamper our day to day operations very much because we primarily live in 0.0 and in line with most entities living out there have a whole heap of alt corps to handle logistics/mission running etc. It does take some focus away from 0.0 to kick the aggressor’s soft targets in highsec (say a hulk belonging to the CEO of an industrial corp in their Alliance) but other than that for us as a PvP Alliance it is business as usual.

The game plan of “get intel on targets” followed by “kill targets or die trying” is maintained. The big difference is we know in advance who we are looking for and can use the full intel gathering available to us (locator agents, alt spys etc).

Unsurprisingly two more industrial focussed corporations from the aggressor Alliance have now left/been booted to get them out of the war, but not before we got some kills in. Due to the Wardec mechanics they are still covered under the initial war for 24hours after leaving which then leaves a gap of 24hours for a new dec to take effect if we decide to Wardec them as a corp.

In my opinion if a corp leaves an Alliance whilst at war the other party should have the option to maintain the Wardec against that corp without a new timer. They are at war already so maintaining that Wardec should be an option even if they started it.

Remember that in this situation they decided to attack us and didn’t make the correct preparations (i.e. removing vulnerable  industrial corps/assets from the Alliance before Wardeccing), however there is another side to this mechanism which is when a PvP corp/Alliance Wardecs a PvE corp/Alliance so it isn’t always so easy to laugh off.

So, does anyone feel strongly one way or the other about this subject? Should I spend some CSM time looking at the issues or get back onto the “Fix X” type threads 😉

Next meeting at 14:00 eve time on Jan 3rd 2010

I would have preferred to have more time to study the items on the agenda and for the agenda to have been published but that job is down to the chairman…

Anyway, we have at least 16 topics to go through and if we are lucky and have time we will attack a couple of additional ones.

I’m aiming to get the minutes out within 5 hours of the meeting’s end, we’ll see 😉

TL:DR

ElvenLord takes up his position as Chairman
Z0D voted in as the Vice-Chairmen
TeaDaze voted in as the Secretary
Zastrow voted in as the Vice-Secretary

The next meeting will be on Sunday 20th December

Firstly, I have to thank everyone who voted for me and those who put their time in to helping with the campaign. This one is for you and I aim to do my best to get your ideas and issues to the people in charge at CCP.

If you have an active eve account you can see the full results here


As Luminus Aardokay says this is a bitter sweet victory. Voter turnout has dropped again and it is pretty clear that the greater eve community are disenfranchised with the CSM as a whole.


I won’t dwell on the negative. The lack of faith in the CSM just makes me more determined to raise its profile and hopefully encourage better communication with the players. I’ll be blogging and tweeting as much as I can (within the restriction of the NDA of course). I’ll be happy to discuss issues here, in game, twitter and elsewhere.


TL:DR

CSM voting has closed, thanks to those who picked me as the candidate to best represent their views 🙂

I’d say we are now waiting for the count to complete, but being an online poll the results should be known to CCP already. Nevertheless, they will make the official announcement on Wednesday 2nd December (assuming Dominion feedback doesn’t clobber the servers ;))

As to this site, it isn’t going anywhere and I intend to keep posting eve related news and views even if I’ve not secured a spot on the CSM.

See you in space
