An interesting question to be sure. If I understand the entire CPM election it will be a panel or players representing the community. Currently in the CPM we have now we lack that player who has exception skills in FPS. Representing the other 90% o the community is usually based off what the Top 10% do.

Everyone complains about certain OP weapons because the Elite players use them and slaughter. Community complains about the isk disparity because the top 10% control PC. I'm not saying my views would be solely based upon the top 10%. However careful attention must be paid to how these players react as the community typically follow their actions.

My goals would be to reduce that disparity by giving the 10% something to do outside pub matches. Thus giving the 90% room to grow and eventually we will see the gap reduce. A pub match made for Elite level talent would go a long way to not only increase competition For upper talent but give the rest of the community a chance to enjoy the game.

Bringing me back to the 90% is as easy as reading general discussions, squading with new people, creating a channel like irc for players to voice their concerns to the CPM while in game. Creating a thread like my 0uter.Heaven thread. A thread to come vent after your hours of dusting.

Engaging the community in my opinion is simple. I would not solely represent the top tier talent in the game nor try to build the game for those players. I would be able to easily represent their concerns however and use the concerns in coordination with the views of the majority.
