Would I fit as a candidate?

I want to see Dust pass throught its hardships. I want it to become a prosperous game.

I might not have super skills or incredible knowledge about balancing or programming, but I DO know that I want to help.

One thing I'm good at however, is conciliation; making bridges between people.

< beginning to wonder if Fox is Xander Phoena's dust char.

I do feel demonstrating accomplishment and competency is important, there is some ways in which I do disagree with the CPM0's beliefs that the most active community members necessarily make the best CPM. First of all, the CPM job requires a specific skill set, and many community members may make excellent contributions to the game, but may not have that skill set. A guy might respond to every newbie question on the forums, but not have the necessary communication skills to effectively work with CCP as a CPM1 member.

But most importantly, the podcasters, the video creators, the newbie trainers, they're fantastic people. They do a fantastic job. And if they become CPM, they will not have time to do that job. Many community members make great contributions to our community, and those contributions may die off if their creators are doing the CPM (an aforementioned horrible, stressful, time-consuming job that makes everyone hate you, see any CPM0 member's post on the topic). Because many of my existing contributions are private, and they've also reached a point where they can continue on well enough without my heavy input, I feel like I can increase my contribution to the game at large on the CPM, without costing the community anything in return.

You might actually notice several people have been told they should run for CPM because of what they do for the community, and responded to this effect I've mentioned.
