from the desk of Cubs:
the problem right now with this CPM 'candidacy' and whatnot is twofold.
FIRST, there have been no words officially on WHEN this may happen, just that it will.. so damn near all of you have jumped the gun in announcing you are running etc etc.
SECOND, the vast majority of the aforementioned premature declarers have far from rounded resumes. Yes some have made great efforts within the community over time, while others have done less than nothing, while others yet are only trying to ride the coattails of popularity.
The CPM is a position that cannot be taken lightly. This is our DIRECT link to the 'brain trust' (lulz) that is CCP and helping them at least LOOK in the right direction, taking feedback from the community and funneling that into some random coherent thoughts.
this in and of itself requires an immense amount of patience, thus logistically disqualifying most current candidates before reading or hearing a single thing about them. Next they have to deal with a very difficult group of people in actually getting anything done...
The good news is, a SINGLE change over the course of a CPM's 'office' could just be massive, cause things are done so quickly around here you could easily be remembered for that.
I have seen 2, yes, 2 players that have announced their candidacy at this point that I think would be well suited for a CPM position.
2....
Respect is earned people, and knowledge and outreach to the community are what gives you that. being 'good' at this game should mean absolutely nothing in regard to CPM. the ability to listen, knowledge of game mechanics (case in point.. Kane listening to those of us that play PC daily and all the broken mechanics it entails, makes him knowledgeable on the topic)
not to mention a different approach to things to actually stress and get important information to CCP in a way they might actually listen and act (good luck there).
I wish you all the best of luck, but rest assured the Bull$hit flag shall be raised come the time it becomes necessary. Lots of posers currently, and even fewer viable candidates. Those that are well suited, Im sure know who they are, and also rest assured I make no such statements in support or against anyone. Just a general observation.
ok continue with the ass kissing
