Hi!

Great reply, i really can sense the passion in your campaign and like that you are quite firm about much of your beliefs. ( i also like that you have an edge, something missing from a few of the candidates) its important to have people there voted in by us, who will continue to represent us and not become CCP focussed once in.

I love the ISD idea, it grates me that we have had that 'special missions' tab for ages and no special campaigns or even many events!!

A question if i may, how would you see this ISD being delivered in Dust 514 - given CCP had quite some issues with corruption in the EVE version of the ISD? what could we do to remove this as a risk?

Was there any corruption in the ISD for Eve Online? Apart from some potential sketchy forum monitoring, I'm not aware of any legitimate scandals involving the ISD though I'd imagine that it'd be fairly difficult given that it's strictly a volunteer based organization that is moderated and overseen by CCP themselves.

As far as how I would see the ISD being delivered in Dust 514, there is a misconception that I'd like to address - there is, in no way, a requirement for a test server for either Dust 514 or Legion in order for ISD to work. The Bug Hunting division of ISD is just a facet of the larger project and I did a lot of work in recording video evidence of bugs on the live servers (although it can be frustrating at times).

Bug Hunting, Lore, New Player Support, Player Events - all of those sort of things already happen in-game but with the empowerment of ISD being directly connected to CCP, it'd be better off. I worked fairly closely with CCP Saberwing when it came to bugs and hot-topic issues, forwarding video links to him via twitter to some much received success. IMO, simply having a private channel with which prominent volunteers are capable of forwarding this sort of thing directly to the developers would be a big help on it's own but it'll only ever be TRULY powerful if they can communicate with one another as well.

To put it simply, nothing would really change other than cutting the middleman (twitter/skype) and giving more opportunities for those volunteers to communicate and work together. Having special access to the forums would be, in my opinion, a very simple way to accomplish an early step toward this sort of thing, but I'm interested in alternatives.

Great read and was really impressed with the level of devotion you have showed to Dust 514 throughout the years. Its quite inspiring to see Beta Vets still fully active and engaged in the process for sure! I did have a couple of questions based on your stated campaign policies and critical success factors as you see them: 1 - You stated that you have a 'reputation for putting the game first' and go on to talk at length about a number of personal achievements such as posting on the forums about the SP refunds, filing video reports and being part of some channels frequented by the devs etc. My question, if i may, is how do you foresee the CPM working as a sounding board 'against' CCP? Im sure its fair to say that the CPM is more than just a focus group, its there to also 'warn' and guide CCP as to the communities spirit and mood, how would you perhaps engage with CCP on topics you know them to be wrong about? what would be your mode and medium of approach for this? can you be the 'guy with edge'? CPM0 seemed to find this a hard thing to do and as we saw at fanfest were tied and gagged by the NDA as to the changes that were coming. I would be curious to know how you would maintain a 'physic distance' to CCP so you can represent the community without being in CCPs pocket? 2 - Your games development experience is quite impressive! being involved with so many exciting projects must have been very fun indeed! this did however create another question in my mind that im sure many will share, that is, what is your opinion of CCPs continued (and some say controversial) method of recruiting players into the companies development teams? do you feel this is acceptable and 'to the benefit of the game' or to the individual and CCP? 3 - You stated that one of your campaign goals would be to 'push for community interaction and impact' this is indeed a worthy thing to work towards and i do have a couple of questions about how you feel this could be delivered. Firstly what would be the extents of your remit to engage with the community? would this be limited to the forum only (a medium that very few people are even aware of) or would it be a wider sample of the player base? how would you see this working and what would be the critical outcomes of such a project? what would be the impact you speak of? 4 - My last question is a point of clarity as i saw you state " I intend to represent the game and more importantly, the game's overall health" but go on to say you also would be willing to engage in Legion CPM specifics. Can you confirm that your primary focus will indeed be Dust 514? if so, how do you foresee supporting the 'games overall health'? what actions and tangible deliverables do you foresee in succeeding in this goal? given CCP state that Dusts future is uncertain and its playerbase is slowly retreating with high value player groups leaving over time. Very interesting read all round, looking forward to your replies and getting to understand your position more generally. CEO

Sadly yeah there was a major scandal with ISD many years ago, basically forming faction fit fleets and flying them into their friends space to be killed for lootz. it was a very long time ago however so probably not an issue anymore. perhaps as a follow up question, what sort of events did you have in mind, given Dusts limited flexibility? i quite liked the Templar one and am surprised they never followed up with it.. the thought of hunting down dudes is also pretty cool, maybe some sort of infected thing? Thanks CEO
