You are being judged on your current and past actions. DNS'a actions do not make the game better for the community. Placing excessive ISK in the hands of a few allows them influence over others (see proto in pubs). Letting a few have access to a game mode and denying it others through a mechanic you know full well was not intended is fine for a player, but NOT for a CPM.
You are in DNS. I does not matter one bit if you never play a single match in PC. Your corps assets, such as ISK and people and being used by DNS. Even if they do nothing their action to not engage DNS, is still an action in DNS's favor.
Being part of a group always implies explicit support of their actions. You cannot be in the Ku Klux Klan and expect people to trust it is only because they happen to own the best library in town and you would like to use it. If you are no benefit to DNS and it is no benefit to you then leave.
No CPM member should take part in an activity that hurts the people they are supposed to represent, so I do not trust you to represent me.
You just said you support changes to PC. Well how about you actually show us that? Right now. Pull out of DNS and stop supporting PC as it is now. Actions not words.
Well said.
People are judging Zatara by his actions, and his actions have left his credibility in ruins. Same with Sparo.
Look how their actions have helped devastate the NPE and wall off an entire game mode by virtue of exploiting a design oversight. Using free ISK to proto stomp 24/7 has driven hordes of new players away from the game.
He has willfully and deliberately chosen to ally with DNSBlack, a man whose vision for Dust is predicated on monopolizing Molden Heath. In doing so, he has provided resources, leadership, and support to further this agenda.
How is that a positive development for the community? Why wouldn't voters judge him negatively for doing that?
I don't think anyone here disputes Zatara's passion for the game, but his credibility is shot.
Vote for someone else.

I haven't decided who I'm voting for yet (other then myself, of course), but I urge people not to rush to conclusions. I don't feel being in the dominant landholding alliance is necessarily a capital crime for a CPM candidate. While exploits have been a problem for a pretty large percentage of the PC playerbase, largely speaking, the fault is CCP's failure to create a good game mode, and failure to police those individuals exploiting the system.
If the game is in such a way that allows one to take 100% of it, that's not the player's fault for doing it. Does everyone here expect CPM members to pull their punches in-game? Planetary Conquest is part of the game, and by it's very definition, you're kinda supposed to try and kick people out of it.
I mean, I'm big on PFC, so you know, sometimes I can be a big carebear about getting people into PC and having fun. But it's hard to blame someone for playing the game well.
No one is blaming Zatara for playing the game "well."
But his assertion that his in-game conduct should have no bearing on his candidacy is fundamentally absurd.
His in game conduct is directly responsible for alienating new players, indulging in game breaking exploits, and enabling an alliance which detrimental to the game's development.

+1 for an articulate and rational response Soraya. Thank you.
However, Zatara's actions, his leadership, and his associations have directly and negatively impacted Dust's current state of play and its future in the New Eden universe.
These are not the actions of someone who is merely roleplaying within the parameters of the Molden Heath sandbox. These are the actions of someone who has made the Dust experience worse for the community as whole, and then insists that we should turn a blind eye when it comes time to vote.
Zatara may be a fantastic CEO who can assure his corporation's survival and prosperity. That's fine.
He may be a passionate and dedicated player. That's great, no problem there.
But I see nothing in his conduct to convince me that he will put the needs of the community above his personal ambitions, his corporation's holdings, or the political expediency of his alliance.
I vote no.
