CSM XII Candidate Roundtable 1

The first of two panel discussions with candidates for the CSM. Due to only 10 seats open and so many incumbents running for reelection, this year’s roundtables are focusing on the new blood this election. With Alek, Jin, and Artimus pushing for specifics and asking the hard questions this is a can’t miss if you have any open spots on your ballot.

Today we’re joined by:

The discussion covered a wide range of topics including the impact of Citadels on sov/FW, CSM communication, the impact of a 10 person council, and several candidate specific questions.

NEGP II Postponed!

Hello faithful listeners!

Unfortunately I have to postpone this weekend’s New Eden Grand Prix. Apologies!

Things are really chaotic both in terms of EVE and RL for the DoW staff. At the unfortunate temporal center of that chaos seems to be this Saturday and Sunday.

tl;dr in pony form

Not sure if our post-FanFest episode will need to be pushed back a week for the same reasons but hopefully not.

I still hope to bring you guys all the racing excitement of the NEGP soon! Stay tuned to the show and our feed for more updates on it’s status and rescheduled date.

 

New Eden Grand Prix II April 30th 20:00

Declarations of War presents the New Eden Grand Prix Sat. April 30th at 20:00

The NEGP returns once again! Like last year, this will be a T1 frigate race that puts the piloting skill of the racers to the test! Participants will be pitted against each other in a harrowing several thousand km sub-warp course filled with obstacles and skill challenges to push their manual piloting and timing to the limit.

This is EVE so naturally the environment isn’t the only danger; racers will also have to watch their back because this race is live fire!

If you want a preview, check out last year’s race!

 

HOW DO YOU ENTER? EXCELLENT QUESTION!

The event will be held in a WH so the highsec entry system will be announced the day of the event. Fully fit race ships will be provided at the event so all you have to do is turn up in a pod or shuttle and follow instructions from race organizers to join in.

The entire event will be streamed at www.twitch.tv/alekseyevkarrde with commentary from the Declarations of War cast!

Join in-game channel New Eden Grand Prix, watch this post, and keep tuned in to Declarations of War for more updates.

DoW Ballot for CSM XI

GO VOTE! VOTE! VOTE OR DIE MOTHERF*****!

  1. Steve Ronuken: One of the best reps of recent CSMs, he’s definitely earned his reelection and will be a major asset to the fresh faces coming in
  2. Kyle Aparthos: A consensus builder who’s willing to pick fights when need be. Love it. I also think he puts the more aspirational parts of EVE and sov at the forefront when thinking about those topics which is super important.
  3. Toxic Yaken: The PVP side of highsec needs representation, and I think Toxic is the best fit to do that this year.
  4. Commander Aze: I don’t agree with all of his views, particularly on war decs, but I don’t there’s any doubt he is passionate about the CSM, understands their responsibilities, and will but everything he has behind making the council work.
  5. Nash Kadavr: Super passionate about EVE and knows the player gathering scene. With EVE’s RL meetups becoming ever more important, it’s good to have them represented on the CSM.
