I haven't seen a thread like this in a while, and I'm just curious. I know elections are still a long ways away, but I'm just wondering who among us actually wants to take up that mantle?
I know that at some point in the future, I would like to run for the council, though right now I would be a bad fit because of RL stuff, so I won't be running in the first election. The last thing I want is to be a drain on the CPM, which is why I'll be waiting.
That said, I know there are a number of you who would make great candidates, and I just wanted to make this thread so we can get a better idea of who's still interested in the position, and why.

What is it about the position that makes you want to run? What aspect of the game would you personally focus on, or what unique views do you think you would bring to the table? Most of all, what do you feel you would do to better hear the voice of the community, were you to become a member of the CPM?

I have no idea if you'd be a good candidate, but if your politics are even half as good as your sniping I'd be forced to check your box on the ballot

Yea, I'm honestly curious if we'll even actually get elections. Like I said, it's definitely still a ways out, but I'm certainly interested to see how it all pans out.

The CPM is controlled by me, hence your choises are invalid.
However, I grew to like the human named "Heinrich Jagerblitzen", and so I gave him free will.
It saddens me that he likely won't be running again

If they can track IP maybe they can give each playstation a single set of votes per election, so that way you'd have to own multiple playstations across multiple accounts just to vote more than once. Not foolproof of course, but something like that could drastically cut down the number of alt votes you'd see ottherwise.

Well just some way to identify a given system. I'm not technically inclined so I have no idea how that works, but if there was a way to identify my system as unique and mine, then I would be forced to go out and buy a whole new system and play an alt into an active state just to get another set of votes.

I think a big aspect of being a potential CPM member is having a healthy stomach for abuse, as many people have misguided notions about what the CPM is and does, for many different reasons. One thing is certain though, plenty of hate gets slung at the CPM, for basically no legitimate reason at all. So, being able to read that, day after day, and either ignore it, or respond to any valid points made within their cesspool of words; that's an admirable trait, and I think very important for a CPM members longevity. Otherwise, the mental and emotional strain might make the position not worth it overall.
On the other hand, that's why we that wish to be seen as a community, need to have level heads and treat our CPM, each other, and CPP; respectfully, and intelligently. We need to step back and look at the whole picture objectively, remembering that we're all people (except Cat Merc, anyways) and we have a responsibility to ourselves to shape the way we perceive others, so that they may perceive us in similar fashion.

But then how would I inherit your fortune by sending you 500 million ISK to handle all the paperwork and legal fees?

The Robot Devil wrote:Wow this thread took off. So have you learned anything?
Actually, I have. IWS dropped some useful knowledge, and I've seen at least a couple solid candidates so far. Granted the thread has derailed a bit, but I have definitely learned some things.

If the CPM could actually help improve the game then it would be worth it but frankly it does **** all anyways
To be fair, it took EVE CSM what, something like 6 years to become a well established useful group.
CPM hasn't even been here a year, and neither has DUST (officially speaking, anyways). I think there's more than enough room for improvement, and having the CSM as a guideline is a huge boon for this.

This is a joke right? who was the mittiani before CSM? lol Did more then make him powerful in EVE.
Not sure what that has to do with CSM being essentially useless for the first few years. That's just what I've heard numerous times at least, I didn't play EVE back then, and I don't play very much now.
