This will be a brief post as my time is currently short, but I feel compelled to post it.
At present most of the CSM delegate is made up of hi sec empire dwellers, traders, mission runners and so on – with a few exceptions. There is virtually NO REPRESENTATION for low sec, or pirates – at all!
There have been various threads flying around with some potentional candidates, although none of them particularlly strong. That is until yesterday, when Larkonis Tassler entered the fray! He’s the CEO of Neo Spartans (if you didn’t know), he’s a pirate (if you didn’t know) and I believe he would be a great representative for the pirate community, and C&P in general.
I’m sure he’ll have the support of many pirate corps (and also some anti-pies who recognise there is a need for us) and the C&P community in general.
You can see his official thread and manifesto blogs using the links below.
Happy voting (when the time comes)

100% in agreement with you, Alia. I don’t know Lark well, but the conversations I have had with him demonstrated his intelligence, ability to analyze issues, and mature attitude–and yeah, he’s even got a sense of humor
. He will get both my votes and I’m going to chat with him to see how I can assist his campaign efforts.
I’m not convinced by the CSM and as such feel Lark is wasting his time. I suppose a free vacation to Iceland is nice but it just seems to me that it turns a game into a second job.
Also, one voice amongst the Bears, Nullseccers and Industrialists will get lost and voting on issues that are important to Pirates will get drowned out.
I may of course be wrong.
I must admit that I’m not 100% convinced by the CSM either, especially in their current capacity. I’m hoping that Lark might be able to tip the balance a little in our favour – worth a shot.
It’s true that he’ll have to do some yelling to get his voice heard, so I wish him the best of luck with that. Not a job I’d fancy for sure, but it’s nice to have a serious candidate from our side of the fence.
Hoping you’re wrong (but in a good way :p) and thank you for visiting, always a pleasure. Hope you get some nice kills (but you always do lol). Good hunting old friend o/
It’s like anything else, if you don’t make an effort, you are guaranteed to achieve nothing. If you do make an effort, you just might make a difference. The same is true for CSM delegates and the CSM itself. The CSM is a young entity–it needs time for its processes and focus to mature…especially considering it undergoes the equivalent of a corporate reorganization every year. Meanwhile, if there so happens to be a group of delegates who really gel, their synergies could work very much in our favor. I’m a fan of these kinds of processes and can see the appeal of being a delegate, even though it has got to be a ton of work. And as a pirate in EVE, I will be very pleased to see an intelligent, experienced player who understands the dynamics of low sec representing us outlaws who live and work there.
