Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3702	Posted - 2014.06.13 17:57:00 - [1] - Quote The Popular Poll is interesting, but it is easily manipulated. So, how is a reader to know which candidates deserve their attention, and which are just getting their friends or alts to sway the poll results? How can a player casually interested in the Election get an idea of which candidates to take seriously without reading through 500 posts in 20 threads? Well, one way would be to get the options of the hard core Election Junkies who have read all those 500 posts and formed informed opinions on the qualifications of the candidates. In this thread I will be asking for feedback from those GÇ£ExpertsGÇ¥, the Election Junkies who have combed through all of those candidacy threads. To be included on the list of experts you have to post your list of the candidates with your endorsements marked, and have proven that you are following the election closely enough to be considered and "Expert". This can be done by posted in a meaningful way in at least 5 of the candidacy threads, or having two other Experts who are familiar with your election related communication on other mediums to vouch for your level of knowledge. Members of CPM0 will be assumed to be experts. Instructions for the Experts: Copy and paste this list. Add a (Yes) or (Y) next to any candidate you feel would make a good CPM1 member. You don't have to restrict yourself to just your top 7. Include any that have impressed you enough that you would be confident in their ability to do the job well. Go back and edit your post if you change your mind, or new candidates join the race. (Editing your post is easier for me to keep track of when I do the summery, than reposting.) Candidates: Adelia Lafayatte Aeon Amadi Anarchide Cross Atu Kevall Longstride Mossellia Delt SirManBoy Soraya Xel The Black Jackal Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

Appia Vibbia Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 3075	Posted - 2014.07.02 17:24:00 - [21] - Quote Quote: PC the mode itself maybe broken but if you balance for pubs you break the use of that playstyle/weapon/suit/vehicles for PC completely where it becomes a disadvantage to even use it Exactly, people say "PC" because that is the only real time you see two whole teams in the best gear they can use. What it really means is that you're balancing proto vs proto instead of balancing all three tiers against all three tiers simultaneously. Balancing for pubs means you trying to balance a proto Amarr Sentinel with prof 5 HMG against MLT gear. Or a basic Gal-Scout against a Proto Cal-Scout. or a tank with complex modules against STD swarms. Appia Vibbia for CPM1 Empress of Alts
Zatara Rought General Tso's Alliance 3459	Posted - 2014.07.02 17:34:00 - [22] - Quote I have been approved as a Candidate. If you feel you want someone who has played the game quite a bit and PC extensively then I hope you consider me as one of your votes. I could be mistaken, but I do believe i'm one of the most consistent players of PC. I do see the value in top down balancing. And I also see how after down down balancing you must also balance to make sure disparity between the meta and the newbro must be balanced. You cannot have general satisfaction until you balance for for sides of the equation. At least, this is what i currently think. I could be quite wrong.

I was completely unable to break the 7-only mark, and ended up with 9 Candidates getting my definite thumbs up. Before anyone gets their noses out of joint, I would like to point out that I was unable to flatly say 'no' to any candidate either. Each and everyone running shows a passion and fortitude for the job that makes me think that we will have a great CPM1 whether my 'list' are selected or not. When it came down to it, I had to pick a team that would, in the first case, support DUST 514 and try to improve on it where community support cannot be solicited, but also have key knowledge and design input into Project Legion should it come forward. Things like User Interfaces, New Player Experiences, Gameplay Dynamics, Community Features, and a lot more. While anyone in the list above could fill many of these roles, and I would be assured that if I were elected with any combination I could easily work with them all, I had to make 'hard calls' in trying to cut the list down and select the people I thought fit best for the job to be done in CPM1, which is going to be a very hard slog. The people I have not said yes to this year around, I truly believe that you have some great input to go into the game however it falls. End Wall of Text... The Black Jackal for CPM1

PC in the old days when it started were the best days, more corps and players intrested in it When i did PC it was during the EON days, fought in 3 wars and at a minimum did at least 500PC battles if not more for a solid 6+ months while being a tanker in the majority of those matches during 1.0-pre1.7 so i was underpowered as going against OP AV but also against the best vehicle users at the time where i easily held my own. PC i rarely do anymore, ive basically stopped playing this game plus my corp is dead after the 'rouge wedding' and even now PC is meh since its all about who can hold hands and blue up The fact is there is very few on that list who has done what i have done and experianced the full game, only Zatara has done more in PC than me i would say and basically nearly everyone else is a pub player at best so when ive done more that the majority of the CPM candidates have then thats already a bad sign I could say the same to you? who are you? but really i dont give a ** and if being a top tanker in pc is mediocre at best then how bad are you, fact is i know what im worth so do the ppl who picked me to tank for them so stay mad

When it comes to checking that an GÇ£ExpertGÇ¥ is following multiple candidates, KenKaniff69 made it easy on me. When I checked his post history he had comments posted in 5 different candidate threads all on the first page of his post history. So, Ken, thanks for making my job easier.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1195	Posted - 2014.07.06 14:02:00 - [32] - Quote Hello all - been a bit since I commented on the candidates, however, I wanted to wait to ensure that the full approved candidate list was up before discussing my candidate preferences for voting. To be honest, I wasnGÇÖt sure that I would post up a list of this nature. IGÇÖve gone through a fairly deliberate process to try and hunt down most of the candidates and get to know them. Most I was able to chat with and get an understanding of them and where they are coming from. Some I just couldnGÇÖt get a hold of yet and I do feel disappointed by that but itGÇÖs absolutely critical to me as a player that I know the folks that will be representing my interests to CCP. Before I go into my thoughts on the candidates I want to discuss the timing of voting if you are a player. I refer to this as the GÇ£DNS Black Effect*GÇ¥...from the now infamous Dust / 100% control of MH rant on the Podside podcast from a would-be CSM candidate. Of note to Dusters, this rant occurred just after CSM voting had opened and even quite a few Eve pilots that already voted quickly voiced buyers remorse when that episode aired. DNS Black ultimately failed in his attempt to get on the CSM and many point to this incident as one of the reasons. So my recommendation is to do your research now and monitor the candidates during the voting period closely as you can - they should be their most vocal and accessible during the voting window. You donGÇÖt need to rush to vote on the first day 07 July you can vote at anytime before the poll closes on 22 July.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1195	Posted - 2014.07.06 14:03:00 - [33] - Quote When I looked at the candidates the traits that I specifically tried to factor in were the following: Communication, Maturity, Technical Skill, In-game Experience, Team Player, and Intangibles (my most subjective measure). Please note that I base my opinion on what iGÇÖve found in folks public posts, skype comments, twitter, in-game conversations, and media interviews. I have had personal conversations with many of the candidates and these discussions obviously color my opinions as well. With that, hereGÇÖs my current read on the field... (Please note this does NOT take into account my STV vote positioning on my ballot as I will only finalize that just prior to voting and havenGÇÖt decided to share it yet.) Cross Atu (Yes) - Cross in my opinion is the best candidate on the field. Not only does he have a deep understanding of most aspects of game play but he often engages those with differing opinions than his to make sure he sees all sides of a discussion. More importantly heGÇÖs simply a very good guy that can meet the players at whatever experience level they are from the newest player to the hardest core PC vet. Pokey Dravon (Yes) - Pokey is a steady and very hard working guy that has proven his ability to look at things from a systems approach and break things down in a very understandable way and then build it back up with really innovative changes for the better. More importantly IGÇÖve seen him work with every range of personality you can imagine and he can maintain his cool under really tense situations. Soraya Xel (Yes) - Long running candidate that truly wants the best for the game and the community. He can passionately argue for a position but can agree to disagree or come to a hybrid solution. I certainly donGÇÖt agree with some of his positions but heGÇÖs got but heGÇÖs the right type of guy to have on council. Black Jackal (Yes) - Jackal can think big with the best of them. He wants to push Dust and Legion as far as possible and while some of his positions can cause heated debates that clashes with his position IGÇÖve known him to be a calm and logical guy that can discuss things things and frankly adjust or change his position when he sees the merit. Again, with him itGÇÖs not just his technical background but his personality that has me leaning towards him. Zatara Rought (Yes) - Zatara is a passionate, articulate, and highly skilled player. When you step back from the past meta gaming and get to know him you see a very solid addition to the CPM. He is immersed in the high end game play aspect and iGÇÖve found him to truly want to support all players regardless of chosen role or experience. He would be a much needed team member on the council. Judge Rhadamanthus (Strong Maybe) - I very much want to vote for Judge but I have lingering questions IGÇÖm still mulling over in regards to his friction with other candidates and want to hear more engagement on issues out side of dropships, vehicles, and AV. Xp3ll3d Dust (Strong Maybe) - Xp3ll3d is clearly one of the more intriguing guys in the race. He impresses every time he engages and heGÇÖs much deeper than his signature 3rd Party app development platform...really worth consideration. I just want to hear a bit more from him since heGÇÖs a relative new comer to the field. Aeon Amadi (Maybe) - Lot of great things with Aeon - well rounded and very knowledgeable and my biggest doubts are his ability to deal with friction amongst candidates or CCP. Appia Vibbia (Strong Maybe) - Lot of folks have concern with Appia based on the potentially prickly personality but IGÇÖve personally found her to be fun and easy to deal with. SheGÇÖs got tons of PC experience and can crunch numbers with the best of them. Mossellia Delt (Maybe) -Delt is a really solid guy and in a less crowded field would be a solid pick. I really do recommend folks take a look and remember this guy. Zion Shad (No) - A long time personality in Dust and someone I truly feel wants the best for the community and the game. He gets pulled in a lot of different directions with his other non-Dust projects (many of which are successful) and IGÇÖm not quite sure heGÇÖs got the attention to detail for the actual scope of the CPM work. Iron Wolf Saber (No) - I have serious respect for anyone thatGÇÖs rode out the whole tour of CPM0 and has asked for more. Unfortunately being a forum warrior simply isnGÇÖt enough and IWS causes far more controversy than he helps clear up. HeGÇÖs a good guy, seriously, just not whatGÇÖs needed on the council. Kevall Longstride (No) - Kevall has done great work with new players and few dispute that however, he has very little actual in-game experience compared to any of the other candidates. My biggest concern with him is the clear impression I get that heGÇÖs more interested in the CPM title and supposed status it gives as opposed to truly serving the player base. This is the candidate group that I know little about outside of an initial forum push. Honestly - just not enough information on them to consider them for the CPM yet and I would really like to know more. Argetlam Thorson - Have sqauded with him once and he seemed pretty sharp; would need to chat with him or hear from him more. Adelia Lafayatte - Had a brief flurry on the forums but have heard little from him. Anarchide - Minimal contact. Lt Royal - No contact with him and IGÇÖve not seen him very active. SirManBoy - Working to bring him onto the Biomassed podcast. Syeven Reed - Minimal contact. Tesfa Alem - Minimal contact. (NOTE: IGÇÖll be updating this post as I have more contact with ALL candidates. My rankings and ballots arenGÇÖt quite final, this is just where things stand going into the voting period.)

Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2538	Posted - 2014.07.06 18:25:00 - [34] - Quote Fox I have updated my prior post in this thread, it now contains my submissions for this poll. ~ Cross Vote Cross Atu for CPM1- An emergent candidate
KenKaniff69 Subdreddit 2437	Posted - 2014.07.06 20:03:00 - [35] - Quote I have updated my own list to include IWS and cut it down to seven votes that will be on my ballot. Markdown:
Zatara Rought General Tso's Alliance 3525	Posted - 2014.07.06 21:20:00 - [36] - Quote I have added my list of ballot choices and while I haven't posted extensively in many threads, I have had the pleasure of conversing with many of the candidates privately and publicly and have enjoyed my time getting to know as many of them as i could immensely and hope I can be considered and 'expert' despite my shortcomings. I wish all my fellow candidates the best of luck. Candidate for CPM1 Voting begins in 1 week! They call me Princess Zatata <3
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3855	Posted - 2014.07.06 22:27:00 - [37] - Quote I updated the results again, as we now have 9 Experts. I like how many of the experts are restricting themselves to their top 7. It makes for a more dynamic looking graph. If we all listed all the people who we think are qualified there would be a lot of candidates that every Expert would list and therefore the non controversial candidates would all have the same number of votes, making the graph less informative. I am going to stick to listing all the candidates that I think are qualified though, instead of just my top 7, as I think it is good to give some acknowledgement to the other qualified candidates.

Kevall Longstride DUST University Ivy League 1443	Posted - 2014.07.06 22:45:00 - [38] - Quote I posted my list here The short version Myself Zatara Rought Aeon Amadi Iron Wolf Saber Pokey Dravon Cross Atu The Black Jackel My criteria for picking the final list was how effective would they be working together, not if they agreed with me or each other 100%. In terms of balance, this is my preferred list. But the rest of the candidates were of course excellent and we could easily have a second effective CPM from the remaining pool. Good Luck to you all. o7 CPM1 Candidate CEO of DUST University
Leither Yiltron Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 911	Posted - 2014.07.07 23:20:00 - [39] - Quote I'm going to have to rely on two of the candidates or otherwise to vouch for me, but it's cleaner for me to post here than make a thread. I rather like that candidates' endorsements constitute the majority of the standalone threads. Aeon Amadi - I've known Aeon for quite awhile now. He has some of the broadest-base experience in different game "lifestyles" of all the candidates, and he's also in the minority of my top 7 in the category of not having been a big corp CEO or alliance officer. Having the big-picture perspective that those leaders do adds tons of value to the CPM, but so do perspectives like Aeon's. In my experience the two playstyles vary radically different day-to-day. He's also very likely to politely tell it how it is and not act optimistic for the sake of it. SirManBoy - I've know SMB for ages, and you couldn't pick a better guy for poise. You could disagree with SMB all day while without the least bit of venom, but still come out of it without a doubt that you disagreed. SMB also has the most experience in the candidate pool with large (non-training, ah got my eyes on you Dennie) corps- which makes him my pick for my personal experiences. Kevall Longstride - Let CCP foot the poor man's travel bill already. Dennie is the tiniest bit a CCP apologist, but I'm willing to forgive him for it. I'm pretty sure that his continued spending and dedication legitimately aren't healthy. There's no doubt that from the ground up D514 is a new player grinder, and destroyer of sanity for those wanting to do anything logistical for large corps. For all these reasons Dennie's a bang-up pick. I just hope he defers to other members when something isn't in his area of expertise. :3 Zatara Rought - Zatara's the only candidate whom I expect to have very high competence in current and future PC mechanics. It's critically important that this CPM has someone on board who can translate "Let's do X in PC" into "That sounds good on paper, but it's no fun for players". Zat also has access to the most cutting-edge balance information straight from the frontlines. Trust me, that's going to be important. Iron Wolf Saber - Iron's a good guy, dedicated, and can bring some continuity from CPM0 to CPM1. 'nuff said. Soraya Xel - I thought Soraya totally jumped the gun with his original candidacy announcement, but he has kept up a fever-pitch of campaign activity since then. That's some drive. His strongest points are that he has the tech experience to identify for council members some of what is and isn't feasible from a programming standpoint, a good perspective for a health cross-game link, and experience with the painfully awful alliance tools. Cross Atu - Cross and Aeon are a bit alike in my book, except Cross is less gruff and more Feedback. He's not a big corp CEO, he has a long-ass history of good communication through the forums (at least a few CPM's need to), and a very clear picture of what Dust's core issues are/were. And that's my 7. All of the candidates this year are extremely high quality- after being put through a year of tragedy to the point that CCP hardly deserve a CPM at all, you guys have instead made this an auspicious start for the elected CPM.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 15799	Posted - 2014.07.08 00:38:00 - [40] - Quote I'm no expert though; well unless you count CPM experience as veterancy. Candidates: Aeon Amadi Appia Vibbia Cross Atu Iron Wolf Saber Kevall Longstride Pokey Dravon The Black Jackal CPM 0 Secretary Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior, Annoying Artist \\= Advanced Minmatar Sentinel =// Unlocked

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 2876	Posted - 2014.07.08 00:52:00 - [41] - Quote I'll vouch for Leither. He's a withdrawn candidate, so he's been involved in the conversations between all of the CPM1 candidates for quite a long time. I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3862	Posted - 2014.07.09 14:54:00 - [42] - Quote Updated the Experts Poll results. Kevall Longstride, Leither Yiltron, and Iron Wolf Saber have joined the Experts list. I felt that Leither YiltronGÇÖs in-depth analysis sufficiently demonstrated his knowledge of the candidates. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.
