Thought it might possibly be a scam at first ^_^.

Still sort of a goal but now I know it’s not feasible for one person to keep control of an outpost or system :(

That’s *exactly* what I hoped for when I voted for you.

As for me, I use Dersen as a negative example for our newbies. He had ALL THE THINGS at 3 after my first 6 months here. It was such a disaster that I had to reinvent the personality I’d come up with for him to account for the fact that a laser-focused, go-go Gallente partisan would train anything that looked shiny, but not to the point where he was any good at it. Lesson learned: His training has been more focused in the last 10 months or so, and the effect has been noticeable.

It is not coincidental that I started to effectively focus his training when I accidentally discovered certificates. They’re not perfect–I had to learn about some important skills from older players, and some from EVE University’s skill wiki–but just getting Core Competency to Standard made a world of difference. There are a lot of ways in which the certificate system is incomplete–for one thing, there are no links between them to tell you which certificates you want to be effective with which ships, or in which roles–but for me it was a good jumping-off point.

I do hope that you can make a significant impact on the new customer experience. After all, there is no static state, only growing and dying and without knowing if it’s new alts or new players we can’t tell about Eve. I can tell CCP that the biggest stumbling block to getting players out of High Sec is that for the most part Low and Null groups treat noobs like garbage. There are a few exceptions, there need to be more. Anyways, you were on my ballots and I don’t know if I helped get you there or not so I am glad to see you made it. Give them a different perspective and remind them that not everyone is a crying nullbear parroting the flawed “risk vs reward” mantra, a pirate badass or a market wizard guru. Some of us are ordinary guys sinking a few hours here or there into Eve when we can between work and life and would like to stop being pooped on since we are, in fact, the somewhat silent majority.

Don’t drink the koolaid, take the blue pill or anything else, just stand strong being a guy that plays the game.

Nah, I prefer to keep it in my own form of science fiction. Unless you mean the CSM, I have yet to go ‘fantastic’ on them.
All the way through? You deserve a medal or something.
