Hey Olmeca Gold! I hope you know you're something else. You really are on a different level than the rest of us. This video was incredible, thank you so much for posting it. I am absolutely voting for you for CSM 14 and I'll do my best to convince my viewers to vote for you too!

[@ProjectFreeFolk]

Hey Bjorn. I always appreciated how amazing of a human being you are. Quite honestly your type of person is very rare in Eve. Constantly positive even when shit tier things are happening. Probably the #1 reason people love your streams, and why I supported them. On plenty of occasions I failed to maintain 1/4 of the positivity you have. I'd rather be on that level more than any levels on anything you think I'm at. I hope you keep up your content even when the game is declining. o7

[@presidentegallente]

@@ProjectFreeFolk Well said. I am always amazed when I see FCs like BjornBee talking and laughing while juggling with EVE. ;-)

[@Redishere]

I hope you guys still play... Id love to get whaled like this. This is so aweinspiring.

I don't even play anymore and that sold me.

Creating EVE Online documentaries is art. You are a great artist! Thanks for this piece of high level content!

[@davidcraddock7414]

Hey Olmeca, I dont even play eve, but I randomly came across your video. I was hooked in the first 30 seconds. Great piece of story telling!

[@benom286]

you should probably get into it i got into it a few days ago and yeah its rough but totally worth it

[@catalinghita9560]

I have to say it's been a while since i have watched a 30 min eve-video. It's well written, organized and has value. Congratulations! I hope you get a seat in the CSM !

[@Eidolonian]

Wow that was 30mins shit me it went so fast!

[@VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan]

Oh man and I was happy to loot about 38 million ISK the other day with my alpha clone. You are on a whole different game. Whole different universe.

[@PiersLawsonBrown1972]

One of the best Eve films I have seen, without a doubt, thank you for your content.

[@davidpflepsen7505]

Absolutely fucking brilliant!!! I'm a 12 year veteran. Very few pilots in EVE get my respect, but your solo activity is most impressive! You have a true spirit of EVE and my maximum respect!

[@spaceshipdev]

I originally commented about balancing audio too; but after watching the whole thing through to the end, I can only salute you and your amazing efforts! o7

[@Shizzlewish]

This was riveting to watch. Your ingenuity is amazing!

[@amberarmstrong5131]

The voice is so good, really sells the bounty hunter vibe.

[@Jason-ok2qm]

Your way of enjoying EVE should be well-known. Glad to have elite enemies like you. You have my respect and vote. Thank you for the inspiring video.

[@willjones655]

You easily get my vote dude! This video is amazing, your talent is obvious and I think your ideas are spot on! Tell me how to vote for you!

[@ronniehenriksen8658]

As an occasional target of whalers, i still approve of this. You most likely have my vote as well. Being a whale should have its risks

[@thomasr7129]

It is good for mineral prices. ;)

[@microaggressions]

I've probably watched this 50 times and still I keep coming back. You are a true artist. I hope to be able to be even 1/10th the pilot you are one day.

[@SQTierHog]

I just subbed, and I'm only halfway through your incredible documentary!

[@Thomas-qd6rw]

I all I have to say to this is bravo! Keep up the great work and I’m definitely going to vote for you!

[@drokonkel]

holy hell what a video! I hope that you continue making videos after this one

[@eveiseasy]

Nice video dude, good luck with the CSM campaign.

[@ProjectFreeFolk]

Thanks! And thanks for the reddit gold!

[@theSAMMAN47]

Man this was like a dang Vice documentary, excellent work.

[@CaldariJoans]

Excellent video brother. Good luck out there.

[@juanpeirano8245]

fucking amazing. Keep up the good work man,made me feel like going back to eve.

[@nickoxide]

Probably the most advanced, videos I have seen. So interesting I love. See you in 2 years for another

[@thiemoza4436]

Well done, much appreciated. Reminds me of Rooks and Kings videos. What attracted me to to Eve in first place...

[@miatribe]

Makes me want to play again. That spearfishing thing was hilarious!

[@ou8my22]

I haven't played EVE in years, but I may sub just to vote for you. Good Luck.

[@killer21946]

I genuinely had no idea who you were until about 2 weeks ago (sorry), i feel genuinely happy that a player such as yourself has chosen to represent and communicate all of the issues 'the little guys' face in finding content and ways to disrupt mega-farming. This is by far the most relocatable, impressive and (frankly) frightening CSM call videos I've seen so far in EVE. Ducking good job, keep it up!

[@willismiller7035]

This is badass. You've inspired me to get back into EVE. I love how innovative your gameplay is and this underground culture you've discovered. Freefolk live! Break the wheel!

[@UberPwnageGuy]

Amazing work you have all my votes!

[@mrjenkins1993]

Coming from a goon .You have my 7 votes. Really good video. I hope you get in! Everything you said was spot on.

[@sci7zo]

Goons are important to the ecosystem of the game. I don't think EVE Online would still exist without y'all. You give the game a real, authentic antagonist and that's important. CCP needs to understand that the people who fight goons are also important to the ecosystem or else shit gets boring for everyone. Community is great but these games are only fun for as long as people want to kill each other. Respect

[@klejs88]

The dedication and skill you have is mindblowing! Fascinating!!

[@dorsiaonfriday5803]

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to multi box, props to you, you're the man. Really impressive stuff. You got my vote

[@markhatch1267]

Just discovered you. How fun! I will never have the time to play this game like you do, but it is fun watching someone do it well. I shall continue to play casually and one day count it an honor to be blown up by you!

[@immersivegamer7640]

I must say - I have been watching eve content on KZbin for quite some time and it never ceases to amaze me how deep and complex this game is. Having said that - this documentary has been eye-opening. I am still speechless - the production value, the narration, the mechanics explained and even the politics and how CSM influences the shape of the game we all play - brilliantly done. Will be looking out for more content from you - just hope that the recent changes did not push you out of the game. Great stuff!

[@mestakari6937]

its also kinda funny cause his csm ideas nerffed rorquals etc and he killed this gameplay style and he doesnt play anymore :D

[@2c4everybody]

Thank you for posting this video. I am just a solo player (solo as in "one box", not "multi...") playing intermittently and was not aware of the side of Eve presented in your video. You are a valuable asset to Eve.

[@D0Bone]

Very nice video! Thanks for doing what youre doing, you have my vote for csm :)

[@teh_digi]

Olmeca Gold congrats on the win! Looking forward to seeing your input to the CSM. Phenomenal video also, been showing to my non-eve friends as an example of player ingenuity over (arguably questionable) mechanics :)

[@LeeNTien]

Hot damn the dedication. It was beautifly amazing. You, dear sir, certainly have my vote.

[@PastaAivo]

What a great story. If not for the audio inbalance, this might just be the absolute perfect documentary.

[@LokleyTheo]

Can't say I approve this amount of dedication for internet spaceships, but you sure have my votes. EVE is too safe.

watched it because of you sharing it. thanks!!

[@NickBelflower]

This is one of the most put together campaign videos for any game I have ever seen. I appreciate the effort, expertise, and dedication you have put into this video. I can only hope that you somehow monetize your game play so that you can become better and do more!

[@chickenassasintk]

This documentary was excellent. I hope you make a lot more videos like this

Good Vid, but it reminded me why I quit eve. If only it wasn't flooded by alts/multiboxing.

[@naximan01]

git gud

[@Voldorac]

Completely agree with you there! I quit right after they tried to make the game easier for others and forgetting about what lured us into it in the first place, and I started out it 2009 .. so right after they destroyed the PLEX system, i had enough! :/

[@Danci1337]

Same, all the veterans with T3 ships picking on the nooblets with 3 months experience behind them, and they wonder why the numbers are decreasing... I enoyed the PvE aspects, learning the new things, but when some bored of out of their minds ship comes accross that againts you can't do anything, except sit in high sec all day and then MAYBE be safe, yeah. From time to time i get in the mood to try it again, but i remember, how pointless it is, just because you are outnumbered, outgunned, outsmatrted.

[@theeducatedgrunt2087]

Impressive as hell.. congrats on being in the CSM

[@vasilizaitsez7455]

Thank you for an inspirational video. It’s really good to know one can make the biggest group feel at least some of the unease they inflict upon others. I appreciate that was not your purpose but am grateful of the effect. Your game play is not about good vs evil. Rather it’s about achieving objectives, exploring new game play and perfecting your abilities. I am impressed with your discoveries and ability to effect some balance in game without asking CCP Devs to do it. You have my utmost respect and my vote! Success to you and your campaign.

Incredible. We'll presented in the video. Great.

Never heard of whaling before in EVE, this is a great story, I hope you get the chance to get that seat to represent not just one group of players in EVE but all the players that put their heart and soul into the game that enjoy the risk and reward of flying in space that is the ultimate sandbox for gamers.

[@dipilodorkus]

As cool as this is this highlights why I just can't play eve anymore. The sheer number of alts. It's disheartening

[@numenanomalie309]

alts are the reason i quit # me too . Do we need CSM who gets 65 alts and thinks he is gud at the game?

[@rokhnroll]

yep I used to duel box but 65 alts is insane. I quit eve about 3 years ago now I think.
