Well I am currently on the fence about the subject overall.
Running would make me the only CPM 0 member to be running for CPM 1. As much as stressful CPM 0 is and knowing that CPM 1 is going to be just as stressful, I really dont want to see the steam lost going into CPM 1; I really don't want to see the work undone in CPM 1 and ultimately I would like to see CPM 2 become a reality as well and maybe that would be our first peacetime CPM.
So what do you guys think? To run or not to run? that is question I ask.
And if you're going to try to convince me to not to run please do not rattle yourself off as an anti-cpm establishment type of person. You know who you are.
I know I haven't been embedded with the community as much as I could but between college, job hunting, and keeping up on the game and forums its quite a bit of things to do. People that know me really well do know that even without a white tag I would be just as much as a prolific poster (probably more so) and with speculations and crazy ideas posting and beyond.
CPM work has consistently distracted me from doing these things as I remained focused on the job at hand. I would likely retain the secretary seat but I want to be a bit more vocal in the meetings this go around at least. Just need someone to smack me when I come up with a bad idea.
Even if I don't get elected or don't run there is an alumni channel the CPM 1 members will have access too (and eventually be admitted into) if they are ever looking for advice from previous cpm members.

I'd love to see an educated reason as to why you shouldn't be apart of CPM1.
I know a few individuals can provided a well grounded and mature reason as to why not to run. Getting them to post is another ordeal overall.

On the one hand, IWS, I respect you, what you've done, and how much you have put into the game as a member of the CPM0. You've gone above and beyond, and that is something great. And in this sense, I believe you would be a huge asset to the next CPM1.
On the flip side, however, this is the first elected CPM. Bringing some of the reputation from CPM0 to CPM1 is a two-edged sword. Many in the community feel that the CPM0 betrayed the community with the Legion thing, and still uphold their... opinions. They are wrong, and calling for you all to have quit, or otherwise made a stand by breaking NDA is even worse, but many in the community feel this way, and I wouldn't like 'that' part of the CPM0's reputation tainting the CPM1.
Sometimes, a clean break is what is needed to restore faith in an elected body.
Now this here is a compelling argument against my run that fits the argument proper.
In direct reply to the issue. I feel that what actions the CPM has done in light of Legion was most appropriate and if CPM 1 cannot be held to a similar standard of holding on tightly to the NDA then the establishment cannot be trusted with future work on any scale. The whole CPM threatening to break NDA as a group and Mass Resigns are final doomsday options; an option best used on something far far far more serious than Legion's announcement. While I don't know what sort of situation could possibly happen to resort to such; it would be something that if CCP goes through with it, might as well not elect another council as such will no longer be necessary type of deals. Legion as we all now know is not one of those situations.

I just want every CPM0 kicked out for good. Start new. Edit: And I have yet to ever see a CPM0 in game, do you guys even play dust. Or do you let your characters afk? Iron wolf plays, look towards the bottom of the scoreboard.
Grumbles about not having enough isk to do things and still has about 12 more skill books to buy to keep up with omnisoldier parity.
