CSM #3: About Me

My name is Alex Sloat, and I am a 22 year old living in Brantford, Ontario, Canada who recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Economics. I have been heavily involved with political bodies of many sorts, both partisan and not, since I was 16, and have a great deal of experience with positions on elected bodies, including a large amount of experience with bodies structured much like the CSM is.

In Eve, I play as Herschel Yamamoto, an Achura pilot specializing in Gallentean combat ships, and I've been playing for over two years. I engage in a wide variety of activities - I do missions, I explore wormholes, I invent T2 cruisers, and I engage in PvP both as a mercenary and a pirate. In the past I've also done everything from aggressive wardecs to running Marauder lotteries. I have at some point done virtually every activity outside of 0.0, and even then I try to learn as much about how things work there as I can so that I can comment on it intelligently.

Since the CSM was announced, I have taken a strong interest in the body, and have been active in its processes. I've read all the meeting minutes, had conversations with many of the members, provided a great deal of support work to the current Council - most notably, keeping the list of topics in the Assembly Hall up to date for Serenity for two months until the thread died - and have been probably the most active and dedicated person around the CSM who was not a member or alternate.

Both in real life and in game, I am an active participant in what is going on in the world, and I have no objection to working hard in order to make sure that I don't let those around me down or shirk my responsibilities.
