I’m Kshal Aideron. I’m currently on CSM18 and am running to return. I started playing in January 2020 and in that short time went from confused newbro to NPSI pilot, FC and the CEO of a 3,000+ player community called Eve Rookies.

While I’m an expert on the new player experience, building community, and making Eve more accessible to all, I am also dedicated to the overall game and listen to the concerns of everyone from nullsec to wormholes to Faction Warfare and everyone between. The health of the whole game is my paramount concern.

You can get to know more about me here: About Kshal Aideron 9.

The tl;dr is:

• attempted Eve twice and rage uninstalled the 2nd time, but 3rd time it stuck

• immediately found the NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It) community and am still very active

• started FCing at 8 months into the game

• at 1 year created the Eve Rookies website 3 and started making tutorial videos 3

• accidentally created the Eve Rookies community 2 at 1.3 years into the game, which has grown to over 3000 members

• ran for CSM 17

• ran for CSM 18 1 and was a CCP pick

• presented at FanFest 2023 5 and sat on a few panels 4

• presented at Eve Amsterdam 2024

So, what’s important to me? What am I about? What do you get if you get me onto the CSM again?

My experience as a player, and now CSM is:

1. New player experience
2. Community
3. Player inclusion and accessibility
