I'm running for Councilor term 3... let the fun begin:
Allot of candidates are posting “Ask Me” threads in their bid to get elected as StarMade Councillors. This is the logical course of action and should be applauded. This is at it’s essence the very reason to be a Councillor. To seek out and bring to light the opinions and thoughts of you, the player base.
This however isn’t my style. I’m not a very talkative guy. Uncomfortable silences are not uncomfortable for me. I usually don’t speak unless I’m spoken to, or I believe I have something important to say. I’m probably NOT like you guys. I don’t act the same, and I don’t think the same. However, to quote a senator from the movie Gladiator: “I don’t pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to be a man for the people”. I do love this game, and I want it to be successful. The best way to do that is to get as many people playing it as possible.
So here are my goals as Councilor if elected:
I’m not a big talking personality that you’re going to see on the forums all the time. But I’ll be around, listening, helping, and collecting information. I want to be here, for you, furthering your causes. I promise to answer every LEGITIMATE questions i’m asked, and I don’t make stuff up. If I don’t know, I’ll tell you, and then I’ll do my best to get back to you. I will not answer questions like what’s my opinion on PVE vs PVP, because my opinion isn’t important here, yours is. If PVP is important to you, I’ll make sure you’re represented. If you don’t like PVP and would rather stick to PVE, then I’ll make sure you’re represented as well.
A vote for me is a vote for yourself.
If you've already voted... don't worry you can change you vote here
Thanks guys/gals

So here are my goals as Councilor if elected:
- Recognize more player achievements: We’ve got a lot of good players that have been around for a long time that have contributed allot. They’ve probably got like 10 to 15 badges under their names. They are all well earned and for this we thank you. But you guys cast big shadows. We’ve got allot of new/newer/newish players that also try really hard to help people, and those actions go largely unnoticed.
I’d like to look into the badge system. I’d like to the see criteria for badges clearly defined and given to as many deserving people as possible. Maybe even make a couple more badges, so that people can be recognized for their efforts in making this a better game.
- Allot more competitions and contests: Not only is this the best way to grow the player base, but it's also a really good way of recognizing the people who don't like to get involved in conversations. right now we get maybe 2 or three official competitions a year. I understand that these events take up allot of shine’s time. Time that we all would agree would be better spent on making the game even better.
I’d like to see the Council organize more competitions. Competitions of all types. PVP, PVE, Builds (big, small, RP, replicas, originals, esthetics, effectiveness, rails, etc…). But Starmade also needs to reach more players. So we could also have other less-direct game related competitions. Such as: Best Screen shots, best animated pictures, best videos, and best how-to instructions. And each competition winner should get a badge as well
- The Wiki needs work: With all the awesome updates that happen every couple of weeks, it's often out of date, wrong, and incomplete. To encourage people to keep it up to date, I suggest the badges for wiki contributors be tweaked a bit to better match the community content badges.
