To gather all the sand

An interesting question was asked about an offical source for CSM communication. I smiled a bit when I read it. It is a regular question that returns often. How do we have one spot when people communicate in so many different ways? How do we capture everything people do and no overwhelm those seeking information? While it is a question posed in a tone of interest in the CSM at a the time of year when interest is highest, it highlights a fascinating problem that I've spent a lot of time thinking about.

Before I ask how do we communicate better, broader, and more accessable, I have to ask can we? Can we create a singular source that will be everything for everyone? The question sets its self up for a no.

Could we create multiple sources that focus each thing? I thought about it for a moment. We have blog lists, pod casts, lists, forum searches, twitter hash tags. Yet even that quickly grows holes. Private forums for groups and corporations get left behind. Twitter vs reddit vs tumblr vs slack quickly fragments focus. Oral vs Auidable vs Video all have their following.

This is another post without an answer. Thankfully, I am not a wise monk under a cold montain waterfall having vanillia wafers with bears (I'm pretty sure it goes that way).

My thoughts and methods have always focused on a way to naturally or reasonably allow people to produce and consume in their comfort zone. But, maybe that is not to be.

Do people need hurdles to appreicate information? Can we make things universally accessable? Does cross implimentation across multiple platforms help? Is the feasability of reality and limitations both technical and fincial supposed to be considered during the questioning process?

If I speak into the void and never know if I am heard are my words lost?

Maybe one day!

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space? This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

TCS: Riding the Expansion

Odyssey was bound to bring changes. However, in my relative inexperience and ignorance I didn't expect the market to do all the terrible things that it did. I expected some of it. I flirted with speculation and stockpiled on various things. I understood that some prices would change but I didn't expect to stare at the window of 30+ million is CovOps frigates. The Laws of Supply and Demand are simple: If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. Eve lives under these laws. Players make the items and place them on the market. Items are only worth what people will pay for them. People will
