Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 15485	Posted - 2014.06.17 20:47:00 - [1] - Quote I am a gamer at heart. I love the stories, the people, the places, the sounds, and the mere idea of doing things reality doesn't let you do. In CCP's own word's Life Experience was poorly designed. In 2006 I joined Eve Online as Nova Fox and fell in love with the universe how it was constantly expanding and evolving; and ultimately how much power players really had very few games empower players did. The simple fact I progressed while being on massively long deployments in the military was what led me to continue on playing it. Being an artist and stuck on a real life carrier, during downtime on the boat I also started to draw fan-ships for Eve Online. My very first ship I ever drew was a landing ship designed to function as a mobile base and lander for armies on eve's planets inspired by what it was called at the time phase 3 which was an ambiguous and ambitious idea from CCP to get the game on the planetside; somehow. I didn't stop with the lander ships, I also started a project back then called planetfall that would describe how New Eden would play on the ground. http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/novafox/Colonycenter.jpg http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/novafox/Planetfall.jpg http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs49/f/2009/187/2/d/Beach_Party_Colored_by_novafox.jpg The details of the dream changes but the dream continues on; to make an awesome experience of New Eden on the ground. So when Eve FPS was announced at the Fanfest I was excited to finally see the phase 3 becomming a game and immediately hopped aboard for the ride. I wanted to see this game become the best it could and help every way I can; building community; building ideas, building core spirit of the game. The game went live beta and I was enrolled in as Iron Wolf Saber; my involvement only grew further as I was able to directly give feedback to the game itself. It was not long before CCP Dolan tapped my shoulder for War Council. To help establish the elections and establish governance for the first elected Council and provide similar function as the CSM if needed. It was originally supposed to be something of a 3 month long stint. Then Uprising 1.0 happened. Dust 514 what was supposed to been a resounding success fared excessively poorly reviewers and ultimately player's hands. The Renamed War Council, to the Council of Planetary Management 0, was flipped on to full CSM function. History has come and gone, CPM 0 is officially the longest council term in the history of New Eden; but we're here finally. The toll on the road was heavy, we lost a number of the original hand picks due to changes in the game and the long term struggle to establish the legitimacy of the CPM. I am still proud to declare that CPM 1 Elections are on the way and that CPM will likely to have more establishment than the CPM before them did. As a CPM 0 Member I know that to promise to be the Scout CPM or HAV CPM or Planetary CPM is just plain silly concept as often the skills involved in making those critical are not critical to the CPM as a whole. I also know the key critical difference of CPM expectations from CCP and the community when it comes to what is the difference between player representation and player representative. So what sort of CPM member will I continue to be? A smart; creative; energetic CPM that has fell in love with the idea of having New Eden on the ground and I will continue to support and help evolve the idea to something fun, feasible, and well taken care of by the community and developers alike. As a veteran CPM member I can offer plenty of help with CPM 1 on the more difficult decisions and times they will be facing. I have been known by fellow CPM 0 members to be the solid ground of reason and calm in the group that has prevented many hastey mistakes and I will continue to provide that for CPM 1, voter willing. I know that CPM 1's term will likely be more difficult than CPM 0's and to continue on just speaks volume of passion I have for that dream of that great game for New Eden on the ground. I will continue to support Dust 514 in all of its endeavours even if it goes beyond the launch of Legion. I will continue to support Legion into fruition to ensure it is worthy of succession of the dream as the cost of this pursuit is already too high. I will continue to protect the sanctity of the Council. I will continue to support the community's desire for a better game grounded on sound logic. This is Iron Wolf Saber and I am announcing my candidacy for CPM 1. <^-^> Happy Hunting. Feel free to contact me on skype or ask any campaign questions.

I look for stuff that could be misinterpreted, or stuff that felt good to type, but does not reflect what I truly believe when I actually take the time to think about it. - If it is controversial I may go grab a coffee and then read it again when I get back. - Then I copy and past it into a post on the forum. - Then I scan through again to look for copyediting issues. (Sometimes the Spell check on my word processor is set to Canadian English while my browser Spell Check is set to American English.) - Then I hit the Preview button and read the entire post again, carefully, line by line. - Only then do I hit GÇ£PostGÇ¥. - Then I read my new post, usually to find a glaring error that I somehow missed the first four times I read it. So I edit my post to correct the issue. Stupid mistakes and stupid statements still slip through occasionally, but I think overall I am well respected for the quality and thoughtfulness of my posts on this forum. Now you know why. This is why IWS has had enough time to make 14,672 forum posts, and you've only had time to write 3,031. ;) Yeah...but at least 8 or 9K of IWS posts were retractions, clarifications, or other derivative activity from the actual OPs. Most of the posts I do what fox gaiden describes never sees the light of day by anyone. I typically hit the delete all key at the end.

As far as I know the rules of how many people you may vote for have not been announced. I am still waiting to see how many votes I may cast before I actually say I support any single candidate. IWS right now would be a 3rd or 4th tier vote for me personally. While his ideas are good and often times well demonstrated with visuals, he can be far to abrasive and insulting for my tastes. My top two so far are Judge and Cross Atu, Judge has demonstrated his ideas with full length videos and explaining things step by step is why he is on the top of my listing currently. Cross Atu has very good ideas and is respectful, even though many might not know of him. SVT is a means to ensure your vote does not get wasted; for example if Judge wins by a landslide he will lose all those landslide votes and they're transferred to those voters second choice or so forth choice. Judge will still win and retain most votes regardless. You can select up to seven transfers to help ensure your vote matters.

Have they demonstrated a greater commitment to players or to CCP? Do they champion issues that others want or just their own agenda? I personally feel the current CPM has for the most part been non-representative of what players want happening in the game. I feel they have failed to communicate to CCP how the changes have diminished game play and enjoyment, I do not think voters should reward failure. We need assertive intelligent thoughtful representatives on the CPM who will stand up for all the players. Hand picked CCP boosters have proven to be very inadequate in this and many many other regards. I encourage you all to look closely at the candidates who might best represent all of us to CCP, and their hand picked ineffective yes men/ women are not the people to get the job done for us. Look at the changes to the game that have transpired on their watch, if you like the changes support the appointees running for election. If like me you are frustrated by CCP's ham handed implementation of changes that have made the game less enjoyable then vote for new blood to carry the banner and make our voices heard. If I were you I'd be paying much more attention instead of letting emotions cloud over the events transpiring views and not putting much thought into the things that are obscurification with NDAs and things that are going to happen regardless to CPM presence or not. Let me counter question you this; how much worse state of the game can you think of? Trust me there is very little way you can come close to what could have happened without CPM 0.

Hey dude, kinda glad you are running for CPM1 but i was sincere with my comments that you had been through enough already! the fact you are back for more is a good thing. Just wanted to ask a couple of questions based on the fact you were CPM0 as well - i recognize and 100% appreciate that you would be a good candidate to bridge the gap from CPM0 to CPM1 so my question is thus, what do you feel will be different from CPM0 to CPM1 in terms of its perception from the player base, its level of engagement from CCP and its ability to be more than a simple focus group? To add some further context to your answer - can we look at the community managers and changing dev contacts that seemed to give issues to continued and regular coms between the CPM and CCP? Do you feel CCP will give CPM1 this time the right focus and engagement? You are certainly in the best position to highlight what wasn't fit for purpose in CPM0 - what would you feel is the right way forward for CPM1 in terms of its role as a player body link to CCP? Thanks in advance for your reply Well to answer this question requires context for it as well as I know you like to play hardball at times and its difficult to quickly correct on a forum format to any concerns so if you have any additional questions please continue to ask before coming to a conclusion. Back in 13 May 2013 CCP we all knew back then was self sold on itself that it could make a good game, CPM 0 was going to be a 3 month thing and everything was all hunky dory. 14 May 2013... Uprising 1.0 Happened and everything was not well. Reviewers went to town; community got righteously mad and CPM was shoved into emergency 'Real CPM' mode since that group was already on hand it was just easy to dump the task on them. Since then the studio has seen a number of changes from personnel and direction and compounding by continued fallout from getting smacked in the face from Incarna's backlash and getting too big too quickly mentality which comes at the cost of good people at times. Regardless CCP today is in a state of more maturity and reservation than the one Now back to the present. I will admit that there will be difficulties of ringing in developers to talk to the council without CCP Saberwing. However the 'dust' from all the company changes are still not finally settled; while it may seem no more people will be departing from this wave there is still shuffling of filling in positions. So in all honesty it is really hard to tell how things are going to work out from this point in time. Based on what I know is that developers are inspired by CCP Ratatti's efforts just that despite wanting to hop on the bandwagon to do what he does there is little for them to share at the moment. Another thing we have to remember that dust 514 and legion has teams of development and it's typically the 'product' owners that come talk to us about issue and not the grunts usually involved. So if a product owner is being tasked with a project that when I saw it was not suitable for community coolness, its not going to likely get shown to the community. CCP Rogue is committed to the task; he just needs a couple clones of himself to manage everything as he is stuck between trying to get legion greenlit; dust 514 running and finally improving the shanghai studio to become more of a quality team capable of making great content. CPM 0 feel that CCP Rouge is far more honest over his predecessor and means very well as he is more than self aware of the studio, the game, and the community and the positions they are all in and doesn't paint a fancy picture of any of it. If CPM says that the community is not going to like it and gives the very reasons why; he will listen and has listened. I don't see him changing that anytime soon; not after fanfest 2014 especially.

CCP I am sure will tell us, but I am already getting questions, and see people talking, including on the forum, about trying to choose the one person to vote for. If people only vote for one person, or three then their votes may be exhausted. This is not desirable. The actualt votes are scheduled to start in six days. The people who vote, and I am one of those people need to understand the process so that no accusations of unfairness can be levied at the CPM electe. The CSM web voting allowed a highly interactive slot list last time I used it which allowed you to quickly swap your order of selection; I am hoping web team extended this to the CPM.

If I had to analogous him with a news organization is that he's the Fox News of Dust 514 or just as bad MSNBC (channel) If he want's an idiotic answer from me he is going to have to present a nearly compromising question on his end. Pyrex knows that he is somewhat of a celebrity and his ego gets in the way of morals. He has purposely used misinformation and mass media to get information to which after getting it he keeps to himself instead of sharing it at times. His brand of riling up the people he is tormenting seems to have no purpose; it's not like arguing against Dust 514's biggest critics to which they have points and can be reasoned with. Also Preyx has a bitter EVE vet status which makes it a bit more difficult to work with at times as he is still butt sore from Eve online's CSM and years of his own misinformation is going to take some time to break and rebuild proper informed conclusions instead of his wild imaginations. This post is part and parcel of why I have misgivings about you IWS. Instead of answering the question, you justify why you are treating a member of the community in an unseemly manner. I know Pyrex has a reputation for tin-foil and poor intentions. Whether this reputation is true is not the point. I think it's important you meet people of his nature with the same respect you would have for anyone else, until he devolves the conversation into the realm where his intentions and nefariousness becomes quite clear and damages his credibility. He may well be the dust equivalent of the antichrist for all I care, until his questions are proven to be subversive and illegitimate I think your obligation is to try and respectfully answer his question. Preyx is an absolute dangerous person to give answers to and he's already proven his tinfoiler with the election so far with other candidates. It's his reputation and his level of respect needs to be raised before I match it; he needs to understands there are wider consequences (and have been already) to his shenanigans. Also what part of my answer is not answering; I don't predict things in without the knowledge of education going behind it. I have stated it again and again; I am no wizard I have no idea what next month looks like; if ccp continues to screw up fine; if ccp does better fine; if CPM 1 somehow destroys the relationship cpm 0 set fine. Which ever outcome it is I for one one will it have no wizardly idea what is going to happen. There are no guarantees on the three sides that any side will or will not improve. If you want to see a candidate that refuses to answer questions head on over to judge's thread; that there is a clear cut example of dodging. It is stupid to make an answer to which translates into a promise in this case if I have no guarantee I or anyone else for that manner can make the result happen. The truly absolute best answer this trap of a question is to see for ourselves and hope the cpm 1 elect sticks ccp to it. With voter weight into the candidates the responsibility to improve relationships between cpm ccp and community. If you have a problem with my answer you need to sit down and analyze the question and conclude your own answers; and I hope you have the logic and foresight on how unfair the question is.

I'm disappointed you cannot see your own bias playing here. No one is asking you to be a wizard. Here I'll even give an answer hypothetically: "I would like the CPM1 to have have more frequent accountability to the community" or "I would like to be able to be responsible for a weekly report of our activities and impressions from the players" Of course accounting for any NDA material. I get you don't want to be snared in a trap, but please realize you're falling in a much more worrisome one by choosing to continue to answer in this way. The only thing he might be exploiting here, if the fact that you are painting a poor portrait of yourself by choosing to reply in the manner you are choosing. First answer translates into a promise they may not happen. Also the definition of accountability is rather vague. Accountability to whom? The community? The developers? The establishment? Second answer is a flat out lie. Even Hans couldn't keep up monthly on that and so far the only CSM member in my recent memory that regularly posted while in office his musings was Jester and most of it was out of council member point of view aka a jester that never got elected essentially. CPM is excessively busy and frustrating work and this may not be feasible once in office. In regards to that to what you are looking for; what I plan to do is what I always have done, continue to remain the voice of logic, calm and reason. I am the last person cpm 0 to lose his cool ver anything or get over the quickest and see problems larger than the issue presented. I know the fine line between player representation and player representative and when to use either card as the two ideas are not exactly the same and both have their places; and finally I am not the type to instigate on the floor but from behind the scenes and help other members of the council present far stronger cases and gather information from the community to give context to anything the cpm brings up in meetings.

You could also petition for ways in which the community might suggest you might be more accountable to them, however I think the point has been made sufficiently. I was using hypotheticals, but I think you seem very unwilling even to fathom how CPM1 could be better than CPM0. I don't think its a dangerous exercise, actually I think it would prove a lot that you can suggest CPM0 could have improved. If you simply don't want to answer the questions, that's fine. I think you have quite a lot to offer, I just continually unnerved with the way you sometimes approach others. Well accountability to the community is difficult process because of not only frustrated genuine people with real concerns which I hate to say get drowned out often but the trolls and anti-establishment folks that never articulate their points for the sole reasoning to try to bring the establishment down as unneeded. The most I can do it poke and prod the community on their thoughts and lurk the forums often and answer any questions people bring to me in game to the best of my ability because many in gamers do not forum dive to the lengths I do and I proved more than beneficial on bringing them up to speed. This is why CPM campaigns should not run on promise platforms such as 'I will work tirelessly to buff 'insert item'. No matter what the CPM does internally it can be viewed as the most outstanding accountability record to date by both council and development but if community naysayers can twist it as a betrayal to the community it will be seen as such. For example CPM 0 was very upset over legion's announcement but the CPM knew there was nothing we could do about it. So the next best thing was to hold ccp accountable that legion will be well worth the social cost we warned them about. While CCP may had underestimated the social cost they're still committed to doing the best they absolutely can for legion still. I have confidence in this because I have evidence and knowledge that sometimes I wished was public on how fast legion is developing and how committed ccp is getting people's stuff moved over while at the same time not having plans to shut dust 514 down. Another example more relative to Pyrex case; he seriously thought that the original titan DD nerf was brought up by the CSM member (singular) when in fact it was development's idea in the first place and CSM only weighed in on the changes. Pyrex' views of council establishment has matured over the year we been in office but he still has habits that makes it excessively very difficult to work with even today. You're right I am unwilling to fathom; I am bad at it; i have constantly gotten bit by making a bad call based on gut calls alone without information beforehand so I stopped doing it. I know that there is a good chance that my top picks won't make it and there will be strangers on the council that I never heard from before but got elected because their community pool is an entirely different pool than the one I hang out in. This doesn't change the fact that the council must work together and if they let their emotions get the best of them we could have irreversible damage caused to council community and development.

I'm extremely relieved at this answer. I still have hesitations, but perhaps you are worthy of one of my votes. Well I'll be more than happy to answer your questions if you have anymore.

You and Hans I would say are probably the only active CPM but will you learn from past mistakes that made the previous CPM not meet what was needed from this game, that is not saying that CCP's failures are your fault. Just looking to see how much more engaging with the community will you be if re-elected, and through how many more sources will you present information to the community? I am looking forward to what this newer CCP can do once they get to the point they can share things. My ideal situation is that the example CCP Rattati has set up will be embraced by the rest of the studio and the CPM wouldn't have to speak for them at any instance and that CPM would be spending more time listening to players instead.

"things would have been so much worse without CPM0" excuse. Nothing tangible, nothing quotable. It is all smoke and mirrors. This IWS seems to like the power of being a CPM member, which means he is missing the entire point, he is supposed to be a representative of the player base, instead he's all about himself. The record of the game during the watch of CPM0 speaks for itself, less participation, less satisfaction, bad retention of players, and a path that looks like a pub crawl instead of a road forward. The simple questions that IWS will not honestly answer are because the game has declined during his watch on CPM0, and he still wants credit for it not being completely dead yet. Dude that is so sad! CPM0 has not represented the player base very well, not surprising because the player base did not select CPM0, CCP did. These hand picked people, at least some of them are hiding behind the NDA as why they can not reveal what so called good they have done. Look at the game, it is in shambles, Legion will rise from it's ruin, but who will trust CCP and their handpicked mouthpieces to not screw that up also? Please do not reward failure, review the candidates running for CPM1 and get us new voices, strong intelligent voices that will help CCP save what is left of the player base that wanted DUST514 to succeed. IWS and CPM0 had their chance and they failed. Please do not reward failure and then expect success. You can usually avoid the first one if you avoid making the question in the form of a personal attack. Also ALL of your accusations only reveals your ignorance over what the CPM does and that you are not politically involved enough or educated with the CPM's workings to fully understand how stupid your own accusations sounds in the light of the truth of things. It is people like yourself that make themselves unworthy of representation because no matter what is presented to them is never satisfactory. So quick tip to you potential voters out there; don't be a parrot, and educate yourselves. Finally; I would like proof of the question that is in question so when can them maybe what the hell went wrong.

This statement is an untruth. A truth that while its nice to fancy such possibility it and will always be due to human nature is always impossible. Similar to the untruth that the customers are always right (they're not). There is no way to represent everyone. There is no way to satisfy everyone. The mere existence of an elected council is proof of such that not everyone is going to get reputation because of disagreements, hated, and frustrations and offenses. If you still think this fantasy is possible there is a perfect example of failure in this thinking happening in the middle east. To claim to represent everyone is a flat out lie and any candidate that states this is not worthy of any position. It is far better from my perspective to make sure that every viewpoint is presented; that sentiment, feelings, motions, and reasonings from the community AS A WHOLE must be brought forward. No ONE single individual is worthy of representation in this community rather the community as a whole deserves it and if said players don't want to be part of this community that is their prerogative.

Of course he'll have fanboys saying how great he is, but some people will say smoking cigarettes is not really bad for your health. You can get some people to say anything. I suggest an urge all voters look at the real actual record of DUST514 while CPM0 served. No spin, no excuses, look at what has transpired. If you think the game is markedly better then support the status quo and CCP's hand picked yes men/women. If you recognize that even CCP did not listen to or respect their own hand picked player representatives you'll seek to vote for and support new people chosen by the actual players. The pathetic attempts to attack me by a sitting member of CPM0 in the person of Iron Wolf Saber is perhaps indicative of why not even CCP respects them now. Iron Wolf Saber now states that some people do not even deserve to be represented by the CPM, imagine the arrogance it takes to make that kind of statement. If you cast a vote for Iron Wolf Saber you are voting for failure and the stubborn idiocy of not admitting the plain truth of the disaster that has befallen DUST514 during the term of CPM0. Please look at the real record of CPM0 and vote for new voices to represent the players on CPM1. Failure should not be rewarded or ignored. Hi; still waiting on the proof mr. spin doctor, excuse me while I read the regurgitation of something I re-read months ago. (for the record this is nearly the 4th time I read a post of this near wording) So also to avoid further insults please have original content; I bore easily. Secondly I consider it highly insulting of you to ask of me to break NDA. It is not my place to speak for CCP in matters where CCP should be talking. The closest answer to your question you are going to get is CCP Rouge's Fan Fest Dev Blog post. Along with the assumption that the CPM is something of CCP's (far far far from this case expect disappointment in all councils with this attitude.) Finally any rational voter can probably think of how much more terrible state dust 514 would be in without the CPM; but as you said hypotheticals. Anyone running knows that the CPM operates on silent victories and 'megaphoned' failures. I know my fair share of silent victories will never be made public not even 5 years from now after my NDA expires because they're those type of things that never should make it to public hands.

You really don't understand what your talking about, if your using that as your example. That aside, who chooses who gets to be considered a part of the community, worthy of representation. Thats the line you used, worthy. I think if you play dust 514 thats all the "worth" you need. Never stated that i would satisy everyone, but being a representative means i will at least listen to everyone, regardless. I can emphasize with everyone becaus i use most of suits and all the weapons and vehicles in DUST 514. There is no such thing of a player 'not worthy' of being listened to by the CPM1. Comment to the side; the statement is more in reference that there are scenarios that you cannot put on either face of a coin. You're going to represent someone when you pick a route and when you do; you will be viewed as the traitorous bastard that led the other side to ruin. World is not as simple as black and white; far too much grey these days and confusion on how to get something everyone wants. Back on topic. Who determines who gets to be part of the community? Usually the person themselves gets to choose if they want to be part and worth of the community. The most I can do is tell the player go find another cpm to better represent them because there are issues I will not be the best fit for. Playing dust 514 alone is not enough; you have to communicate and talk. If not, you might as well consider yourself an NPC at that point; arguably this opinion is rather broad... Talking in a manner that generates thoughtful response; mayhaps its criticisms, mayhaps its comparisons to other experiences; mayhaps its praise; mayhaps its suggestions. Whatever the case may be a silent person only becomes one thing to me at that point; a statistic. Others in the community the instigators go out and do things to get people to talk; they run squads; they post on the forums; they make videos. But the people who reply to such things are just as important. BTW the term you're looking for a player who has trained up everything is called an omni-soldier around these parts; of which I am one myself. The only thing I don't do heavily is squad play and PC play because of the involvement time required. I'll let more focused council members stick it out there. However recent balance discussions have made realize that being an omni soldier does and change perspective a bit as opposed from one who specializes.

Thin skin and a poor track record are not good attributes for a candidate. The failure oozes from your every word, no wonder people say CCP has no respect for you. I am thinking of submitting your bio to a wiki under the category of clueless candidate. The only thing you should be running for is the door marked rejects. Voters look at the real record not imaginary invisible victories ..... CPM1 needs intelligent strong voices that CCP will respect and listen to, Iron Wolf Saber has had more than a year to accomplish that already, he has failed. How much more failure does it take before his ego will allow him to admit, wanting to do good is way different from being capable of doing good, the record proves he is not capable.
