How much the player still plays, how long they have been playing for, and whether they are actually skilled at DUST or not.
I see a lot of current CPMs that have fewer than 1 mil lifetime warpoints and under 2.0 KDRs, then wonder how they could have any grasp of what needs changing in DUST when they clearly spend 90% of their free time trolling the forums and 10% in game. |

To me its nothing more than a clear cut purpose in deciding to run for CPM.
What they want to achieve not just for us as players but also for themselves.
I wouldn't even consider a CPM who thinks they are better than the player base because of something so arbitrary as KDR, WP, or Time Played.
To me its resolve, a person who can go the distance and is willing to communicate with the rest of the community as well as the Devs to create what Dust 514 should be.
Its something that cannot be exclusively be achieved by PC corp players (half of them arrogant pricks or self serving narcissists), or by FW players, or by EVE players, or by lower ranked corp players. I also don't think you have to have fancy numbers etc to be qualified to run as a CPM. Vision is enough.
I suppose there is a very specific type of person who could last the year long term of CPM 1 (I am entirely excluding CPM0 from this comment as I have had so little contact with them besides Hans who was willing to come to the community for feed back) and not only that but a specific kind of person who can be willing to come down from their CPM position to work with the player base.

Whatever you think of CPM0, I think they already made efforts to do that. A CPM candidate telling us they'll "convince CCP" of anything is probably a non-starter qualification-wise.

Frankly being a CPM/CSM eats up your game time a lot, as it is usually like taking a half time job in addition to your current job (and sometimes it's a full time job even). That, and the fact that appearing in any game with your main toon usually ends up with everyone shooting at the CPM. Also KDR is a crap metric in team based games (I, for one, had the most fun playing in squads with my repair tools on constantly ;) Oh, and if their time was set up the other way around, mainly 90% in game, 10% in the forums, all would whine, that the CPM isn't on the forums - you can't please anyone. |

Of course, but I want the community to have more input still. Like when the new dropsuit stats were first being mentioned and CCP's idea was to remove the sidearm for scouts in exchange for an additional equipment slot. The community said "bad idea", and CCP listened. I want more of that, especially when it comes to balancing weapons and gear.
Fundamentally, I just want CCP to stop being so secretive. Take the release of 1.8 as an example, the amount of times Logibro or Saberwing has denied to give us a specific date is just ridiculous. It's either the 18th or the 25th if they're still on schedule, yet they're treating it like all the fresh water in the world will disappear if they gave us a date. |

Well Im sure there will be some that say that they are willing to break the NDA. Although once CCP's lawyers get in touch they will back down because NDA's are binding contracts and caan lead to very expensive lawsuits. But if someone is that brave then we will see what we see.

I doubt they serve any real purpose. If the SP refund does not go through it will confirm that for me. Representing us has to be a hard job because everyone cries about everything. The changes CCP makes seem rooted in some far off ideal that we just don't see in-game. I do not feel represented beyond what I do myself on the forums and with support tickets.
I would be looking for a representative that has some transparency. Not that they can show us the results of their efforts. They could however show us the means they are using to represent us and participate more in the community. If this is a sham at least we could see the wasted effort and that would earn my respect. |

It is an odd question because we, as the community, don't really get to see the CPM's input.
For all we know, the CSM/CPM could entirely be a marketing thing for CCP to say to the community/journalists "we care about our community and player base extensively. We even have a player elected committee to give input on the game from the eyes of a player rather than a developer and to act as more natural liaisons between CCP and the players than an employee would be." Yes, that sounds freaking amazing but we can't look into the gears of CCP and see where the CPM/CSM's influence has spread for the betterment of the players. I am not saying that it is true, only that it is hard to see the influence of out elected committees. CPM can say "we had a lot of influence in X" but for all anyone knows they have never been able to push CCP in a way for the betterment of the players, which is the exact reason behind there being an elected body.
And I know it would be impossible to really show "here is what the CPM pushed through because the community wanted it" rather than "here is what CCP did for their own reasons." It is a no-win scenario.
For me, I am less interested in someone who is "good at the game" and more so someone who understands the game and plays it. I would want someone who isn't a jerk and conducts themselves like a human being. Some of the CSM's in EVE have been the biggest butt goblins to every type on a keyboard and loomed over the community in a "do YOU have a seat on the council? You don't know what you are talking about." That cannot be allowed to happen in DUST.
What I want is someone that isn't a jerk, is well reasoned in their beliefs, is willing to change their opinion given evidence, will not resist something that they see as a 'good thing for the game' because it won't be good for their play style, plays the game actively, and is willing to inform the community as much as they can without breaking NDA. I wouldn't want someone who would break the NDA on the CPM because it could push CCP away from having a CPM and does damage. I am sure any CPM member has heard things that would set the forums afire that are now never happening.
Imagine if someone leaked an idea that was in it's early thought phase; in CCP's case, probably written on a cocktail napkin and not really given too much thought on just yet. "We were thinking about removing AV and Vehicles from the game." If that got released before it was anything other than a drunken thought rather than an actual plan, players would get upset probably over nothing.
Perhaps a CPM member could answer this: how many things have you heard suggested for the game that almost immediately got thrown on the fire of bad ideas? How many of those ideas would get players angry/happy when they were announced/discarded? |

There are many desirable qualities we'd want to see in a CPM council member, but i'd like to use your post to concentrate on strictly the value of players' in-game experience in vetting candidates.
I agree with you DeeJay, and Jenza is ofc right wrt the absolute necessity for theorycrafting when involved in the development process. Also, any reasonable person realizes the demands on the CPM are very high and would expect in-game time to be severely curtailed for a sitting member of the council. But what about the experience they bring to the position?
There is a fundamental sense in which Sana Rayya is correct. Hands-on experience counts and it counts for a lot. I ideally want to see candidates that have thousands of hours in-game, in all game modes, across multiple builds. I want them to have a vast experience base in DUST and preferably in EVE because integration will definitely be a big item on CPM1's agenda.
Why is a big experience base desirable? Because it is the best defense in spotting game-harming content, in critiquing poorly-designed systems and in having a feel for what might work or be worth exploring. To speak to Jenza's point, the experience base powerfully and beneficially informs the theorycrafting process. Experience across several DUST builds and in EVE gives a Councillor a common vocabulary with CCP and the playerbase and facilitates communication and understanding.
Personally i also want a player who has been able to demonstrate solid performance in-game. I'm not talking about KDR rockstars here(tho there's nothing wrong with that), but rather about peeps who have obviously thought about the challenges that DUST presents to a player and have demonstrated the ability to meet that challenge and perform well. There are many ways to contribute to one's team in DUST. I want candidates who are capable of doing so in a wide variety of conditions. That tells us they understand the dynamics of the game and are creative and flexible enough to adapt and perform in multiple roles.
So that's basically why I value time in game and reasonable career stats.
The other kind of experience i want a candidate to have is forum experience. I want to see that they've been involved and active in the conversation, and for some time. I want their past posts to demonstrate that they've always been working to move DUST ahead and provide worthwhile feedback. I want to see than making observations and involved in back-and-forth conversations about DUST content. I want to see how they pose questions, respond to questions and work to synthesize answers with other posters. I'm not talking about attitude or ego or dickheadedness here, that's an important separate topic, but is not part of this conversation - i'm talking about game-focused dialog and productive, creative, rational contribution and conversation. I want to see a person who makes the effort and has the ability to wrap their head around another person's point of view and engage in productive communication. My primary tool in voting for a candidate will be mining their past posts for Dust content and productive conversation.
As an aside to this, Jenza's criteria of 'What have you done for the DUST community?' feels a little off to me. The are many reasons players engage in extra-DUSTular activities, and while there's much to be admired and respected about the efforts of many peeps to contribute something extra to our greater community, not all of them speak to a focus on the development of the game and it role in New Eden. It's peeps who've focused on these things that i'd really prefer to see on the council. So i'd modify Jenza's criteria to be: 'What have you done for the community that focuses specifically on issues of game development?'
For me, he best answer to that question is if a candidate can demonstrate that they've been actively involved for many months/years in productive dialog focused on DUST/New Eden's development and eventual world domination ;)
That's it for experience. There are other even more important criteria, but experience as indicated above is high up on my list.
Good luck to all the candidates.
I support SP rollover.

I've yet to find anyone I want to vote for (which is bad because I've told other players that if I couldn't find someone I wanted to vote for, let alone seven representatives, I would wind up running myself...). I certainly know more about what I don't want in a candidate than what I do want.
What I would like to see in a candidate is someone that doesn't fall into the usual non-sense of "I will represent everyone in the community". This is, to put it bluntly, bullshit. It is impossible to do this and if you don't believe me try delegating any AV vs Tank argument at any stage of Dust 514's lifespan.
I don't want a candidate that will be vocal as hell during election season and then absolutely silent after elected. If I wanted this, I'd look toward the CSM for my candidates.
I don't want a candidate that is a push-over but at the same time I don't want a candidate that will stubbornly stick to their beliefs no matter what is provided as evidence to them. This isn't to say that all evidence provided is 100% irrefutable and factual but it should at least cross the candidate for consideration before they retort with their counter argument.
I don't want a candidate that is "an advocate for 'x'". Seriously, if you're playing the role of advocate for scouts... or heavies... or tankers... You're not free-form enough to represent the community as a whole and will probably be bias against that playstyle's counters, despite what you may say.
I don't want a candidate that is vindictive toward "flavor of the month" players or players from "district locking" corporations. If you're bias against a certain group due to short-comings in the game's mechanics you're on a sure path to bias when presented information later on. Players should not feel punishment for taking advantage of what the game has to offer at the time, this is like getting angry at people who take advantage of coupons at a grocery store.
Just a few things I feel rather strongly about. /shrug

Nice list.
I think the sense of humor is dead on. Call me fanboy or whatever but I think patients is needed also, sometimes the rush to do something is very intense.
An understanding that the NDA is there for a reason.
I am more looking for a group than an individual. The group needs to work together smoothly and be able, as a whole, to touch every part of the game.

Someone looking for balance, and ensuring that there is a suit for every playstyle and a role for every suit.
I would like to see an end to the days when a logi can do everything better than the suits intended for specific roles can.
Looking for the scout hangout?

I see a lot of current CPMs that have fewer than 1 mil lifetime warpoints and under 2.0 KDRs, then wonder how they could have any grasp of what needs changing in DUST when they clearly spend 90% of their free time trolling the forums and 10% in game.
You do realize most of us have alts right?

Representing us has to be a hard job because everyone cries about everything. The changes CCP makes seem rooted in some far off ideal that we just don't see in-game. I do not feel represented beyond what I do myself on the forums and with support tickets.
I would be looking for a representative that has some transparency. Not that they can show us the results of their efforts. They could however show us the means they are using to represent us and participate more in the community. If this is a sham at least we could see the wasted effort and that would earn my respect.
Now look here, had you been paying any attention what-so-ever, you'd know we'd been batting for a respec in 1.8. If CCP Says no its no and there is nothing you me and we the CPM can really do about it because there may be reasons well above and beyond everyone's control including CCP on making things happen.

The whole CPM thing needs to be purged with fire considering they support respecs.

I'd like to take the time right now, while I'm at work mind you, to take some time out of your playing and join the chat chsnnel in my signature. Then when I'm online, which I am quiet a lot and in many timezones prime times' squad up with myself or the other candidates and actually talk to us. I myself will make the time to play with you, the community so you can at least get to know me a bit.
If after you get to know me a bit and ask questions and you don't like who I am or what type of person I am, then by all means, don't vote for me, but I bet you will want me representing you after we hang out.
Feel free adding me on Skype as well, I'd love to talk to any of you, even face to face in a video chat if you'd like. My Skype is Moss-Delt
I understand I can't get to the whole community this way, but I'd like to do my best in that manner.
Join the Channel - CPM1 Candidates - Get to know who's running.

Someone who plays, someone invested in Dust, someone who thinks the players actually deserve a voice.
I want someone who actually fights for feedback and listens to the playerbase when we give feedback. I want them to stop CCP from not listening, stop leaving things unchanged despite feedback.
I want them to be willing to fight CCP on behalf of the players, not lay down and and only be in it for the trip to Iceland. |

Anyone that can perhaps make some guys at CCP, like, google a tutorial on game design, maybe?
Failing that somebody who can send them a link to the videos by the Extra Credits folks. That'd be a start.
On a more serious note, as far as I'm aware, there are few opportunities for community feedback via CPM as long as CCP's internal processes lack the required quality. Maybe I'd vote for someone who doesn't have idealistic views of the CPM's capabilities, then. |

Someone whose not garbage(decent player) Someone whose got a lot of SP to get proto stuff and run it ALOT. Someone whose preferably in a PC corp, but thats not mandatory really. But MOST IMPORTANTLY- Someone who ISN'T biased, as in he won't complain that railguns are OP because he flies dropships. He won't say tanks aren't OP because he runs madrugars. He won't say PC is broken because he can't get in. He won't say the RR is OP because he uses the CR. Someone who will say "I run this as my main, not my alt suit/wep/whatever but I run it ALL the time, and I can say its OP for X,Y, and Z, and I would like to know if the community shares these thoughts and believe its worth pushing CCP for over these other issues of X,Y, and Z"
Your post is making me facepalm very hard right now.

I support SP rollover.
