So, how long have you been playing?

Since Dec 2005

What have you done in Eve during that time?

Learned how POS’s work

Helped setup an alliance in 0.0 (Pure Blind)

Learned more aspects of industry such as Market trading, invention, contruction (T1 and T2)

Taken part in fleet ops in 0.0/Low sec for different alliances

Explored a few Wormholes

What real life experiences do you have that will aid you in your elected position?

Being a broadcaster on an Eve community station I have a good ear with a bunch of the eve player base, and a good medium in which to discuss topics with players and gain insight into their opinions on different subjects.

What do you think of the recent Bob/Goonswarm fiasco, including the renaming of Kenzoku?

I think the bob/Goon fiasco was a great move by goonswarm on the part of tactics/espionage. I do feel that it has brought a strange balance to the 0.0 alliance politics with regards to how all the other alliance are now operating. As for the renaming of Kenzoku – I do not have all the info to make a comment on that topic

What do you think of the re balancing of ECM?

ECM is really powerfull in PVP, Rebalancing “slightly” should be taken into consideration. It is currently almost impossible to not get ECM’d in PVP to the point where fleets are fielding tons of ECM ships in order to gain the advantage

What do you think of the re balancing of Stealth Bombers?

I think Stealth Bombers change to Siege missiles is alright. I didn’t fly Stealth bombers a lot before the change. Siege missiles/torps are a bit slower, but the change to bombs is nice.

How much of an effect should players have on the broader Eve storyline?

I think players should have some impact on the future story of Eve. The extent of which should be determined by the amount of activity provided by the player base (IE amount of people participating in an story-driven event)

Does it bother you that Veldspar is more profitable than any low sec minerals?

I think that lowsec mineral should be more profitable, since it is more risky to get them, unfortunately the market is set by players, and tritanium is used by everything.

What's your opinion on current war declaration mechanics?

The war mechanics could use a bit of overhaul.

What is the single largest imbalance in game, and how would you fix it?

I cannot think of any imbalance that is really big at this time.

Anything to add?

Nothing at this time
