I'm not a fan of flaunting on the forums too much which is why I haven't brought it up in a very open manner.
However I'll get in touch with you sometime tonight, at the very least it'll be nice to catch up with an old closed beta acquaintance

I havn't spoken to you in ages lol And yeah, although i have been encouraged to run by a few, Ill have to really think about it. But for the moment i am not running, mainly as I know whats in store for CPM1 lol
So it's going to be a living hell for CPM1? Sweet, I love when it sucks.

I hope there is at least some CPM0 experience on CPM1, or the whole mob will have to learn how to work effectively from CCP, from scratch [shudder].
They can always call them in as consultants.
Besides there are actually a number of people who are not on the CPM0 that have experience working with CCP directly.

After all, those seeking representation should be able to select their representatives. We all want to pick the right people for the job and we all want to be responsible for it. This is a key turning point when we figure out how the masses will be represented for the duration of the DUST514's existence.
On the other hand, we are not qualified to select the "right" representatives. Meaning, it has not been proven how many of us if any are capable of making an informed decision of who can properly represent people that cannot represent themselves. I can't make a list of qualifications a person must have, because I don't know them all. I know a few, and they are debatable. I don't want to vote in an asshat that may possibly steer DUST514 into the ocean, nor do I want to be responsible for it.
My belief is that the current CPM0 should hold a constitutional convention, and write one.
I think the fear is a valid one, that often the most unqualified and uniformed have the loudest voice, and thus draw the most attention. It is a problem we see in modern politics, and it is not necessarily a failure of the voter base, but rather a failure of the social dynamic.
If anything I think what jenza is trying to get at is that people should be less focused on how visible candidates are, and more on what they do and what they are capable of doing if given such a position. More often than not, the quiet one in the room is often the one thinking about what they're going to say, rather than just saying whatever comes to mind.
It is difficult to do, but I think their intent is to encourage the voter base to look more at the people who are not jumping around with their hand in the air yelling "PICK ME PICK ME!"
