CSM 19 Interview with Komo Sunder

Who is Komo Sunder? In 2012 my journey in EVE began like so many others. I joined New Eden with no understanding of the game. I had no one to guide me and had nothing other than a coercer gifted by a stranger. At first, my lessons were learned the hard way. I learned that Gankers will kill you in highsec, gate guns won’t save you in low sec, and wormholes are full of stuff that wants to hunt you. Through trial and error, I quickly learned these lessons and turned my eyes to adventure. I found my want to low then null. Ultimately, finding a home in SpaceMonkey’s Alliance. Here is where I grew from a fresh new bro to a null sec alliance director. This is where I realized the creation of Applied Anarchy, and where I made the choice to step out of the block to form the independent alliance of ChaosTheory. During my tenure as executor of ChaosTheory, we endured the life of an independent alliance. First living out of NPC Null and then fighting for and claiming our own little chunk of sov. I built ChaosTheory around the idea of a strong independent alliance. Where we pushed against block oppression regardless of the consequences. We challenged fountain core backed by PL for our home. We antagonized the imperium viceroy program and then made good on our word as we entered as the vanguard of the WWB/Casino Wars. 117 As the dust settled across new Eden, i moved north with ChaosTheory to work alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy. Opening a new chapter with the settling residents of Deklein. During this era, I won EVE and retired, but like many, I returned to the game a few years later. On return, I found my once exciting home dissolved, crushed under the bureaucracy of block politics. Along with old friends, we took on the challenge to start over. I found home with Scumlords, a small but tenacious group, and jump face first into the northern conflict between Frat and B2. For a year I lived on the front lines that separated these two coalitions, until finally being pushed out. Today I Reside in Fountain as CEO of Applied Anarchy, a member corporation of the Initiative, where I dedicate my time to the growth of my corporation and its members. Area of Expertise Nullsec Mechanics As a man of many hats, I have touched on nearly every aspect of EVE, though my love for the game roots in Nullsec mechanics. What makes the space work in and out of the game. I have actively attacked and defended space across every iteration of sov mechanics since dominion. I’ve directly experienced what creates viable content and what only serves as grief to the player. Corporation and Alliance Development I understand what it takes to create a community from nothing. I understand the burden on the small alliance as they step into null. I’ve worn those shoes and I’ve faced those challenges. I understand what is needed to see more success in that venture. Fleet Command and Tactics I have FCed for over 10 years with experience from small gang to block war. I have excelled with BLOPs, Small Gang and Sov Tactics. I understand what strategies work, and why much of the meta now promotes a lack of player engagement. Why CSM, Why Now? Now more than ever there needs to be a voice for the independent alliance. I truly believe that A HEALTHY EVE IS A GROWING EVE and HEALTHY NULL IS A GROWING NULL What can you expect? My goal is to advocate for changes to incentivize a growing Nullsec by addressing three areas of improvement. To improve the benefits of null to those that live there To improve the viability of meaningful content without the fear of destabilizing USED sovereign space. To improve the success rate of new or independent alliances in Null.
