Short Pitch

Aerodinamica Attiva

None

Reckless and Uncontrolable Feeding

Two years as the “new player education” Director for Goonswarm, working to provide newer players with the tools and resources to learn the game. My aim to work with CCP to improve the New Player Experience, so that it provides a pathway into all areas of EVE, in order to improve player retention.

Aqustin Agustus

Brave Collective

Spoopy Newbies

Not the wormholer CSM candidate that you wanted, but the one you needed. I will strive to bring wormhole space the love that it’s been neglected for years, as well as shift the focus of development towards cinematic storytelling that is inclusive to all regions of space.

Ariel Rin

The Initiative.

Tactically Challenged

I’m running for CSM to bring ESI development back to a reliable, safe and game design approved state. In order to continue to push the envelope on community and social engagement in EVE.

Colby Bosh'tet

Feasting Frenzy

Great White Hunters

My name is Colby and I have played EVE Online since 2015 where I started pretty early on diving into Wormholes for PVP. From here I tried out Null Sec followed by Wormholes again but this time living in them where I continue to today. Up to this point I have pretty much done it all and would like to be apart of giving back to the community of EVE Online. The privilege of being a voice for the EVE Community is not a light tasking, however I would honoured to bring all community input to the table for consideration to make the game we all love fun for all.

commander Shepard Brotherhood

Goonswarm Federation

Mindstar Technology

I like Eve, Im just here to play some video games and fly some internet spaceships. I like content, whether that content is dropping blops, caps, or on a shitfit roam. Give me CSM, and I will Give you content. And Remember to as yourselves, Not what CSM can do for you, But what you can do for CSM.

Dalros

Absolute Will

Absolute Order VI

I would like to join the official discussion group as a CSM to gather ideas from player organizations and newcomers with a professional perspective and propose ideas for changes like newbie tutorial community/more interaction between ISD organizations and players/more resource output and consumption in High and Low Security, after all, every player comes from a high security area

Drake Iddon

Rote Kapelle

CastleKickers

As one of the longest serving inhabitants of Pochven I have relentlessly stewarded the region and helped implement changes with the aim to make the region the best it can be. The lessons learned so far can be used to help make all of EVE more fun, lucrative, and more bloodthirsty than ever before.

Dujek Oneye

Brave Collective

Brave Newbies Inc.

Since 2014, I’ve lived in in every part of new eden. I enjoy EVE economics, tournaments, and all PvP, but I thrive best in a war. I am in brave because I like helping new players. My CSM interests include ship balance, addressing perverse incentives from game design, and accessibility of content. Community-oriented.

DutchGunner

Wicked Angels.

Circle of Abyss

I am an independent candidate and my areas of expertise are highsec, lore, group PVE and Pochven. These areas have a lot more potential and add to what makes this game great. Unfortunately they tend to be overlooked or have a lower priority. I want to help mitigate that.

Frippyy

Goonswarm Federation

KarmaFleet

Heya I'm Frippyy, I'm a member of Karma fleet and Goonswarm and I'm a resident of nullsec. I believe I would be a suitable candidate for CSM19 as I am eager to maintain the quality of EVE and its community by listening to and spreading the voices of the players so that YOU can have your voice heard!

Frozen Fallout

Federation Front Line

Federation Front Line Report

I adventured throughout New Eden exploring, destroying, creating… for 17 years without becoming a bittervet. The player driven universe is what makes Eve’s story so fantastic. Getting players into space, risking assets, creating stories and building communities needs to be the focus of the future.

Hexator Gaming

No Therapy

Loot 'n' Scoot Salvage Co.

Did I just hit the jackpot? I was just trying to sign in to win that free Ibis, and now I’m half-expecting to see a confetti cannon go off. I’m Hexator, by the way, and I’m already planning a grand welcome for my new Ibis. Fingers crossed this isn't a glitch in the matrix!

Itaer

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Neurotoxin Control

I’ve been playing Eve since 2007, primarily focused on small scale PVP. I have played in lowsec, wormholes, and nullsec space. My goal as your CSM representative is to improve CCP's communication with the community, and urge for more frequent iteration to be included as a development priority.

No Vacancies

Hello my fellow capsuleers, I’m Mick Fightmaster, a wormhole hopeful for CSM 19. After being witness to CCP’s wormhole changes over the last couple years, I’ve decided to throw my hat in the ring for this year’s CSM. Player since 2009, wormholer since 2011, I’ve seen EVE go through all types of iterations, both good and bad. Let’s work together to make the next year even better.

The CSM campaign season officially kicks off today, 4 October, and will run until voting ends on 24 October. This is your opportunity to get to know your potential representatives and understand their visions. Each candidate has a dedicated forum thread on the EVE Online forums, outlining their campaign objectives. Many of our EVE Online partners and other content creators will also spotlight these campaigns, providing diverse perspectives on the candidates' messages.

As in previous years, CCP will host brief interviews with the candidates during this campaign period, live on CCPTV on 4-5 October, starting at 14:00 UTC and continuing throughout the day. We’ll also share these interviews on YouTube next week, so you can hear from your favorite candidates even if you can’t catch the live broadcast.

This year, the CSM will receive at least 5 new members, possibly more, as 7 incumbents seek re-election. The CSM is more than just a representation of player voices; it’s a powerful collaboration that shapes the future of New Eden. The strength of EVE has always resided at the intersection of our passionate players and talented developers. Together, we’ll continue to build a universe shaped by those who inhabit it—your voice, your ideas, your EVE.
