As I mention in my blog post, I fully intend to stand for CPM 1 but I'm unwilling to post full details of my manifesto until the finalised details of the election procedure and voting method are announced by CCP.
I also believe that a long election campaign is detrimental to the quality of debate as its risks the electorate becoming disenfranchised with the process. I don't want that I'm sure the other candidates don't either.
We've been advised by CCP Saberwing that those details may take a few more weeks yet, so in order for those of you who've had no dealings we me directly, I thought a thread with contact details and maybe pose me a few questions should you wish.
Once the election process is known I'll off course post my platform and manifesto in this thread.

This is NOT a "Placeholder for my CPM Candidacy Announcement" This is in full fact an actual candidacy announcement. You post :

That right there is a candidacy announcement. It is not a detailed one, but it sure is one.

Not at all.
What I have in my blog is the very briefest of generalities explained in an informal manner, consistent with the rest of my blog posts. An informal statement of intent if you will.
What I want to do is keep my presence more of a formal nature here on the forums and particularly in The Council Chambers while we wait on the full details of the CPM1 elections and the white paper. I would take the responsibilities of the CPM very seriously and I'd want any campaign to get me into such a position to be a serious undertaking.
It may be that there is a proviso or some restriction that precludes my standing. Or some unforeseen circumstance prevents me from standing.
Besides, there is going to be a delay of several weeks before the details are released by Saberwing. There is little point of boring the community with a long and protracted election, when every candidate wants an engaged and focused community, eager to vote and not tired of the whole process.
There is already too much cynicism and negativity on the forums. I really think that the election process should be more optimistic than that and engaging for the candidates as well as the community.

All CPM candidacies announcements MUST be informal as of this moment. There have been no official openings on CCP's end and until done so I rather not shoot oneself in foot. So a proper nod to those getting ready to ramp up but waiting for the 'real' elections to start.

Written a couple others since my my last posting in the thread but in my latest blog I express some hopes and perhaps a pragmatic opinion of what I think Fanfest and the next named expansion will bring us.

I took a bit of time over the past few days to read through your blog Kevall which I was not aware of until this post. It was an enjoyable read and while obviously I don't agree with every opinion I appreciate the thought and effort that was put forth to express it.
For anyone whom takes the election of the new CPM seriously or I highly recommend taking the time to read to get some insight on the candidate. |

Thank you kindly.
It would be rather frightening if you agreed with every single thing a candidate has to say but I'm glad you enjoyed it sir.

The simple fact is a platform deployment, or any other attempt to get more people to try the game is pointless until the game is good enough for them to stick with it. In fact, since few people who decide they don't like a game try it again later, getting those players to try it prematurely could in fact be a very bad thing.

when will voting start and where? My account is just 6 days shy of being old enough to be eligible. I think I have more than enough hours in the game but I don't how I would check that. |

With the two week voting period mentioned in the White Paper and Fanfest being only 8 weeks away, which is likely where they'll announce the results, I would hazard a guess as very late March/early April for the election period to take place.
This will give them a couple of weeks to collect the votes, determine the winners using STV and have them verified for the announcement at Fanfest.

Been asked a couple of times so I thought I'd clarify.
I don't intend to step down as CEO of DUST University while serving any term on the CPM. I certainly don't envision any conflict of time management with both roles.
Also, with a role such as CEO of a training corporation as part of my CV, I believe I'm in the best possible position to help CCP to improve the effectiveness of the NPE from the perspective of a new starter.

I don't think anyone needs to step down from their in-game roles to be a good CPM, as long as they have the right people in place to delegate things to in place.

My thoughts on 1.8 so far are an exciting and refreshing group of changes let down by poor execution. Although CCP are to be commended for the quick hotfix today and the one to follow tomorrow, there is a worry that so many of the bugs made it past the internal QA.
I realise that 1.8 hasn't been they're biggest priority with Fanfest and the sixth build coming up but still a certain level of standard is to be expected.
That said, I'm pleased that the tank spam in ambush is finally being addressed. The commando suits are a blast (but might need their base speed increased just a little. And it's nice to see scouts getting to finally do what they were meant to do. Cloaks need a couple of minor tweaks (decloaked with flux grenades) but are a lot of fun.
So B+ for effort, C- for execution.

First of all its important to realise that the CPM are an advisory and advocacy group only. We couldn't force CCP to anything. People voting should remember that to avoid raised expectation.
I agree that it is a worrying trend about the shrinking of official language support but there might be a reason for it that we are unaware off yet. For instance, it might be a temporary piece of resource management put in place for the build up to launch of the next iteration of Dust at Fanfest. Once that is in place and is working as intended, a re-expansion of language support can then begin again.
But we are fortunate to be in a community where player driven support is often as good and even better than official support. An example is that we in the UNI already have chat channels in place for members whose first language is not English. This is one of the 30 mails I send to each new member:
Hello to one and all,
In our continuing efforts to help our members, I've created some Language Channels for those whose mother tongue is not English.
We are limited in our channel allocation so I've picked the five most popular in terms of countries that Eve and Dust are played in. Apologies if yours is not amongst them.
Deutsch.D-UNI German
Francais.D-UNI French
Espanol.D-UNI Spanish
Italiano.D-UNI Italian
P-â¦ü-ü-ü-¦-+-¦.D-UNI Russian
Be aware that these are for those of you that want to chat in your own language or squad up together. English is still the official language of DUST University when playing with other nationalities.
These channels are also on delayed mode, meaning that someone needs to speak before you can see them. The rules on swearing are still in place but as I've no way of knowing, it'll have to be on the honour system.
If having these channels prove popular I will look to expanding them beyond these five
Kind Regards,

Now, I have these channels open when I'm online as Dennie in the Eve client to monitor usage. By the way these are open channels so if any players wish to join them if they speak any of these languages to help others, please feel free to do so.
But this is what I'm getting around to saying. CCP don't have infinite resources but they have a community that are capable of stepping up if needed. That said it would be the role of any CPM to remind them from time to time to not take community support for granted or to use them as a way of plugging holes in their support structure.

I think it's no surprise that of all the candidates, Kevall as DUST Uni has a fantastic opportunity to engage with foreign players on the ground floor, and give them a place to interact. I'm quite thrilled those channels exist. :) I know personally, if elected, I plan to do what I can to bridge the gap for our foreign speakers which CCP isn't supporting well enough, I'm sure Kevall will as well. It's been a long concern for many in EVE as well that the CSM are generally primarily English speakers, so it's really critical that we don't ignore the worldwide playerbase.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate
