What is it that you think the CPM is capable of doing? What is it you are going to ask them to do for you? Think these questions over as their answers are the most important ones for choosing a player to sit on the CPM for you.
Perhaps you would answer that the NPE or gun balance are the most important. Perhaps new features, maps or vehicles. The details are important, but the essence of the questions is what they will do. Will they act? Can they act? The thing you ask for is secondary to their ability and willingness to actually do the thing you ask.
A candidateGÇÖs ability and drive to act on your behalf are essential, but useless if they cannot work with you through the process. Can they accurately convey your message to CCP and will they convey CCPs response to you to your satisfaction?
When you look at my candidacy, or at any others; think not just about the subjects they say are their main focus, but at their history at delivering value to the community. Have they demonstrated that they do care about the community? How long have they worked to make the game better? What have they done this year or last year for the community? Are the things they have done mainly beneficial for their corp or their wallet? What good is a promise to act if the past contains no history of action?
I set up the 1st Airborne in-game channel to gather and train new pilots and made it into the number one pilot channel. I realised how difficult dropships were to operate so made and published the go to video training series on learning to fly to improve the new player experience. I have made detailed proposals to improve Dropships and infantry gameplay, such as my transportation concept and my detailed video showing the rendering issues in build 1.4 . I helped the new CCP team at their request by comparing and compiling all the vehicle camera views from each build, I highlighted the balance issues with rail tanks, the severe imbalance issues effecting swarms, the issue with cloaks allowing weapons to be fired from cloaked, numerous videos highlighting bugs and much more.
I have demonstrated my commitment to providing feedback and helping the community. I have already put countless hours into videos that contain all my reasoning and all the facts so the community can have the information they need to discuss game issues and respond to the developers. This is what I bring to the CPM. No matter the topic, I absolutely guarantee I will bring the same logic, reason and facts to bear on it.
If you want to see how I work, then it is there for you to review, frame by frame. My ability to communicate, to reason is there for you to see, nothing hidden, no facts excluded; fully transparent. I have proven that I will make great efforts on the communitiesGÇÖ behalf.
My goals for the CPM are simple, yet comprehensive:
I will bring into sharp focus for CCP the issues the community asks me to. I will support DUST as a live game played and actively enjoyed by many. I will, if requested, assist with CCPs new projects, but not at the expense of DUST. I will not advocate for, or favour, any particular interest group. I will end the deafening silence between CCP, the CPM and the community.

I'm pretty happy with your videos. You have a decent general analysis of the game
But I'm not an idiot, the CPM is useless. Just the announcement of the Legion project is proof that CCP ignores the CPM. |

Good to see you run Judge. +1 I actually think we have a very good selection of candidates (you included), and I am looking forward to place my vote(s).
Do you plan to use your YouTube channel to highlight the subjects brought up by the community, or to initiate discussions? Or do you fear your regular CPM work will consume all your time at the expense of making videos, if elected?
I am interested to hear your thoughts about CCP Rattati's latest shift in player communication and hotfixes. How do you see yourself as part of that process, and do you have any suggestion on how to further improve / speed up the communication process?
Thanks for your time. |

I used an ALT to PC with, right from the fist day of land grabbing. So that I might gain the experience in a neutral way. You may well have played me, but my alt has "a bad mic that distorts the sound a bit". But I removed myself from PC when the district locking started as I didn't feel it was a fair mechanic for the rest of the population.
And the lag was making me enjoy the experience rather less then I hoped.

I'll reply here with what i have already said in another thread:
I would also throw my hat in for Judge.
I've been a game developer for many years now, and i've spoken to Judge first hand as well as seen his vids. The one point i would want to make is that if Judge was a fan of the games i personally made then i would put good stock in his opinions.
Why?
Because he's analytical in nature. He considers the problem, dissects it and considers 'all' angles as to why the problem may exist, but also into multiple potential solutions to address said problem.
I don't always agree with Judge's opinions, but if he was giving me feedback on my games.. then i could rely on the fact Judge is the kind of person who might spot something my colleagues and i had missed and would be able to present that information to us in a concise and precise manner.
That is something like gold dust to developers who have their head constantly stuck in the internal systems of a game and sometimes don't give ourselves enough time to step back and look at the larger picture.
So yes.. i believe Judge would make a great candidate.. plus he's got the patience to listen to opinions and after listening he's not arrogant about his own opinion to the point of excluding yours.. He'll consider the new facts and then add it to what he already knows and draw up a revised opinion based on the new information.
That's exactly the kind of person i'd want giving me feedback on my games.
+1 vote.
In another post i also said the following:
Personally i believe that Judge is more an advocate of 'fun' than 'winning'.
The point i'm making with that statement is that when nothing effects you and everything just becomes dead easy.. it's also very easy to become incredibly bored.
For instance.. you wouldn't get a surge of adrenaline squishing a load of ants, but face a tiger and you'll get a rush for sure. Some players desire challenge to make a game interesting (I'd like to say most but i don't know how apt that is).. i believe Judge to be one of those people. He'd be the first to admit if his setup was overpowered and wouldn't advocate that something overpowered become even more overpowered.
We have to remember, the game should be fun.. and people that are an advocate of fun before winning are the kind of people we need to help guide the balance of the game and raise uneven issues to CCP's attention. |

This question might seem familiar:
You're very well known for videos demonstrating technical issues and balance problems with the game. A truly valuable contribution. Personally though, I feel that is only one small part of what is involved in being a CPM. What do you feel you have to contribute in terms of ensuring the community is supported from a customer service standpoint? On issues like the EULA/ToS and ensuring CPM feedback is not ignored by CCP, do you feel you'll be able to contribute as strongly? What about regarding the link between EVE and DUST/Legion or metagame issues like alliances and sovereignty?
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

That's several questions, most of which span different areas that are not aligned down a single conversational thread. A single question would be easier for readers to follow the path of our interaction.

So you've refused to answer along these lines twice now, for a completely mystifying reason, and now you won't answer because I asked more questions than you want to answer at a time?

I would like to know more information from Judge Rhadamanthus as well, but I think to make the conversation easy to follow, perhaphs you Soraya could ask your top 3 questions? Also do remember that Judge Rhadamanthus has just entered his name recently for candidacy and might now have time for a full write up as he does have reserved spaces in this forum. |

I don't understand why there's a problem with asking a few questions instead of one. I would also like to see these answered.
If you want it broken up: 1. What do you feel you have to contribute in terms of ensuring the community is supported from a customer service standpoint?
2. On issues like the EULA/ToS and ensuring CPM feedback is not ignored by CCP, do you feel you'll be able to contribute as strongly?
3. What about regarding the link between EVE and DUST/Legion or metagame issues like alliances and sovereignty?

It speaks to the quality of a CPM candidates ability to interact with industry professionals. Some on my response may well end up in the reserved posts. Should that occur, to avoid duplication I will let any questioners aware that I have responded at the top of the thread.

I'm seeing a lot of borderline 'combative' questions and accusations emerging from people. Remember people.. these candidates are offering up their 'free time' (as little as that may be) to assist in helping shape the game you want to play.
You must also remember that these people have real lives and real life problems to address day to day, no one candidate will be the 'messiah' and be tried and practised in 'every corner of dust514'. They will all have their own skill tree's set up and will typically have their gameplay experience defined by such. For those who play a broader field, they may not have the depth of experience in any one field.
So.. why does that matter?
I'll tell you..
- A candidate should understand the limitations of their knowledge and experience, therefore understanding they will be required to communicate with the masses on subject matter to achieve an overall consensus on opinions. - They should also have the integrity to displace bias (as much as is feasible) to ensure the decisions of the populace are fairly represented. - They should also be able to analyse feedback and mechanics of the game in an 'intelligent' manner and be able to 'clearly and consisely' identify problem areas and be able to offer possible solutions for dev's to consider.
There's far more i could list, but to be conclusive.. I believe a candidate should have the intelligence and integrity to surpass their own ego's to analyse and report clearly and consisely to both Dev's and the Community.
In my opinion, Judge is one of the few who actually does this. Too many others are self-agrandising and are pretentious.. which gets in the way of being a fair adjudicator. When you look through the various candidates.. look for that which shows they have the 'ability' to fairly judge areas of the game beyond their experience using insight gained from others en mass.. rather than specific segregated groups.

The accusations come from Judge refusing to be social with the other candidates and then refusing to answer questions in his announcement thread (while waiting for this application), during which time he has become the only CPM candidate to have been entirely DENOUNCED by Fox gaden, someone who has spent the better part of 6 months writing up on the candidates on their background and strengths, while also outlining anything he believes that the candidate can improve on.
Quote:Fox Gaden wrote: Ok, you have lost my vote. I would have pegged you as one of my top picks for CPM, but the last thing I want is a member on the Council who canGÇÖt work with others and who will just be disruptive and cause drama.
If you canGÇÖt form close working relationships with the people who want to be part of the CPM before the elections, do you really expect us to believe that you will be able to work with them after the election?
When his Q+A thread does come around, he almost instantly refuses to answer one of the first batches of questions that were asked, saying that it wasn't asked in a good enough format, Xel replied saying "If you think its a bad format then you can change the format of it, i wont mind if you do"
At which point judge accuses xel of being aggressive, even though it was judge that was refusing to answer the questions
Arkena askes similar questions to Xel, but formatted, Judge replies to these

I am happy for anyone to read Sorayas' post on page 1 and my replies and decide for themselves what they feel about the conversation. Lets not get sidetracked away from the very real issues that face the CPM and the workload the people on it will face. And lets not judge anyone based on a single post. Lets not forget IWS has posted many posts that he has been attacked for, yet many he has been praised for.
If you do not feel I have, in the first three posts in this thread, or any of my videos; given you enough information to gain insight to the manner in which I can pass on my thoughts and interact with others, then use this space to ask something that you feel would help you make that decision.

Hey Judge, i could have asked this in gang but as this is a transparent process, thought best to ask here in the daylight.
What do you see being the biggest issue of CPM in terms of its credibility?
In the opinion of many, CPM0 did a great job but lacked the 'edge' to deal with CCP in a very robust way. CCP even stated they found it hard to 'find time' to deal as well as they should have with the CPM who were keen and eager individuals, wanting to make this game better.
How do you see that level of communication taking place given CCP is a professional business and sometimes targets take priority? can you be the 'bad guy' who will have to be slightly difficult in the interests of representing the player base (those who elect you to ask the difficult questions?)
my fear is that we will again have a group of people who are a bit scared of making a fuss and will let CCP slide once more on targets and objectives given their office is only at the pleasure of CCP and is able to be terminated at any time.
How do you plan to walk that tight rope? |

CPM credibility is directly tied to its accountability. The CPM cannot be held accountable for its actions of those actions are ill defined and there is no advance criteria for success published. A credible institution needs a way for its stake holders, the players in this case, to assess how well they are performing the duties they have been assigned.
CPM 0 did not have any of this. They should have had a contract with the players, stating clearly what their targets where and when they intended to reach them. Then when they succeeded or failed, the players could judge them on how well they performed. This accountable performance, if they met their targets, would have solidified their credibility.
On the CPM I would ensure that our goals were regularly published to the players. I would tell them what we are doing to meet those goals and if we fail telling them that we did. CPM0 treated us to a deafening silence for weeks or months at a time, and when finally we heard something it was a simple GÇ£we canGÇÖt talk about itGÇ¥
That was unacceptable. I will not tolerate that from CPM 1. Not one single member can dismiss with a simple one liner the results of a months work. Yes the NDA limits you, but it absolutely does not silence you. There is nothing NDA breaking to state that you arranged 5 meetings this week with CCP Rouge and he cancelled all five.
I am a project management professional. I am more than aware that a business such as CCP has its own internal procedures. We must comply with those procedures if we want to be taken seriously. CCP are not sitting by their phones hoping we will call. They are busy professionals. They have deadlines to meet and a long list of things that need doing. We need to work within the procedures CCP have to ensure clear and compliant work flow.
No matter how good the communication, or how keen CCPs developers and the CPM are to do something, sometimes there is conflict. Watch my videos and you will hear me challenge CCP directly. You will hear me use words like unacceptable, broken, unfair and fix it. I have challenged them for a year now, and I will not stop on the CPM.
I am used to fighting for others, and taking a stance. Look back at my campaign and you will see that I am not one to just accept what is offered. I do not just comply because it is easy or popular. My job, in real life is often to fire myself. Something I have done several times. There comes a point in a project when you have to sit with the sponsor and tell him to shut down the project. As the project manager, I am asking him to make me lose my job. We do this as the project may no longer be profitable or viable. I will not compromise myself or the DUST project solely to keep myself in a position I value. I run teams of up to 50 staff. I am not used to sitting back and keeping a low profile.
I will not be on the CPM for my gain. If fact what have I to gain? I do not have a corp or alliance whose agenda I can push. I do not have a stake in any one role. I do not need the publicity as I already have a you tube channel. I hope to be on the CPM to make dust better. If that means making a stand, then I will.

Judge,
Do you have a channel for folks to squad with you and simply just talk to you to get to know you? Would you perhaps consider coming on the Biomassed podcast and chatting?
You provide very detailed examinations of specific areas of concern you uncover during your game play and do that as thoroughly and articulately as anyone I've seen. That's a huge plus and not to be discounted.
My concern is that you honestly do seem very reticent to communicate with folks when you don't control the tempo of the conversation or medium. I've been actively seeking out all of the CPM candidates to engage not only on the forums but in-game or on Skype (slightly more dynamic than forum posts) to actually get to know them.
As a player, I am keenly interested in knowing the type of person that may be representing me and my interests to CCP for Dust and Legion. I've actually changed my thoughts, positively and negatively, on candidates after getting the opportunity to interact with them and engage them.
I, and probably others, would probably like to engage you before deciding if you are on my ballot or not.

Now that I have been officially accepted I have joined the CPM 1 Candidates channel in game. I am always in 1st Airborne, the pilot channel I founded as well. People have always been able to reach me via my channel and my youtube channel to talk with me. I also do be best to respond to any in game email i get.
I have always been open to talk with players and have been doing so in special squads for months. I traditionaly use my name in the squad finder squad name so that I can be found easily.
I would be happy to discuss, and i really would prefer voice to do that, a podcast based conversation. An in-game squad up between the two of us for a chat would be suitable to discuss the details.

I have seen your question. It covers an area that I have not done a good job of talking about so far. It also happens to be something of a big issue for me. Would It be okay If it took some time to come up with a more comprehensive answer than I might If i answered this right now?
As as side note the first time my, then Swedish wife, offered me liquorice and I took a big handful I REALLY wish she had warned me first.

No matter how good the communication, or how keen CCPs developers and the CPM are to do something, sometimes there is conflict. Watch my videos and you will hear me challenge CCP directly. You will hear me use words like unacceptable, broken, unfair and fix it. I have challenged them for a year now, and I will not stop on the CPM.
I think this is a key point and worthy of discussion here - the simple fact is that CPM0 had many different handlers with very differing levels of communication skills - this led to the fact that CPM0 was disregarded for quite some lengths of time by CCP
My fear is that the wrong set of candidates will give CCP carte blanche to treat us the community with even more disregard and when the all important legion discussions come around, i want someone with a spine to back us. so grats for that.
A follow up question - as a project professional, as you state, you must understand that each and every resource in a firm has a 'usable time limit' what would be your actions when / if you felt CPM1 had run its course? would you stand up and call for its disbandment?

To clarify; my being a project professional is a fact, and was stated as such because of its truth. I try very hard to be clear and inclusive with the terms and issues that effect a topic. I mention it because I think it is something that would add value to my CPM membership and for no other reason.
Would I call for it to be disbanded? as I posted here, before your question was asked, I have already stated that if the CPM exists, and I am on it and I feel, or the community feel it does not represent them then they should step down. And they should apologise for their failures. I posted this publically on the forums most visited section.
But, as I have mentioned in my 3 OP posts in this thread, Our failings or success will not be a surprise for the community. I will do my absolute best to keep them informed, and I will paint the walls with white paint and black.

I've said previously what my reasons are for supporting you, and i sincerely do hope you achieve enough votes to become part of the CPM.
Assuming / hoping that you do eventually end up on the council... my major concern seeing some of the other campaigns is there there's 'dreamers' and 'those who can't take critisism' amongst the applicants.
Taking such into account, and that they may indeed end up on the coucil, i'm hoping your real life experience helps you understand these mindsets and helps you deal with them in an appropriate manner.
- Do you think you would be able to help douse any flames should arguments arrise when opinions differ on the council? - Also do you think you'd be able to help the dreamers/want-to-be-designers analyse what they want to achieve and ensure that their proposals are 'clear and consise'.
The reason i mention the dreamers as being a bad trait (in-part) is that developers are always time constrained, and sometimes good ideas can be passed by because it simply takes far too long to read a gigantic proposal. What a developer really needs is a summarised idea with almost bullet point justifications so it can quickly be accurately judicated and either accepted or discarded appropriately. |

I did not say that is what I would feel. A CPM that is not a good representative force for its community should not exist.
Do you think that a CPM that is failing and does not represent the community well should continue to act as if it has the support of the community that has rejected it?

And if you feel that the CPM should step down in this case, you are suggesting you would resign if this was the case. It seems that is the topic you were addressing, as far as I can tell.

Talk about nit-picking... :-/
Soraya, i think it's quite clear that he's simply saying:
If the CPM doesn't represent the community, and doesn't serve the purpose that is it intended for.. then perhaps there shouldn't be a CPM.
You really seem to be nit-picking for any excuse to have a go, are you that worried about your own campaign that you need to be so finiky?
I'm sure there will be many people on either side of the fence on this point, i'm sure there'll be people who 'are' voting for judge who will disagree with this, and there'll also be those who 'arent' voting for him that do agree with it. It's a touchy subject matter for a lot of people and i think Judge is quite brave in putting a point like this forward and able to take a stand and say such a thing.
I agree with the point, because afterall.. if it's not serving it's purpose after 2 CPM's, then is it really worth having? All it would in essence be is a means of giving more people power trips. (Granted not every past candidate, nor currant candidate fit that bill, but the majority certainly do). |

The purpose and meaning of CPM1 was never made very clear in an accountable way to the community. They did do quite a bit during their time. And while CPM0 did struggle, I certainly don't feel 2 CPM's that do not perform to whatever standard you have is enough to discard the potential good that may occur by having a CPM in place.
Also find the idea that a majority of the past/current candidates are here for a power trip to be quite silly and dubious.

Licorice is important.
I also feel that this thread is unnecessarily vitriolic, and I might suggest that there is some kind of ulterior motive going on with respect to some of the more 'pointed' questioning going on here?

Thank you joining the election race Judge, I've found several of your videos to be massively helpful for new players and have pointed them out as something to watch.
Your credentials are indeed impeccable and from all accounts completly justified but speaking now as a voter and not a candidate I have had a concern about your previous postings which you've kindly linked so far and indeed about this very campaign thread.
Where is the optimism?
It's perfectly acceptable to be a little jaded as to the CPM after what happened with Legion and how the CPM were ignored as to the manner in which it should be made public. But the vibe I'm getting of you right now is that the CPM1 is doomed to failure and the succesful candidates first job should be write a resignation letter for when they inevitably fail.
I've no problem with someone being a little dour nor do I wish for them to think or say that everything will be sunshine and rainbows but I do look for a sense of enthusiasm for the task at hand because of my real life experiance in work.
I'm just a little concerned that you'll consider a successful CPM1 tenure as being inspite of any perceived inherent failings of the institution rather than the result of 7 individuals coming together and working hard to ensure they do they best they could.
It's a minor point and by no means a deal breaker but I'm just looking for a little zest in all the recipients of my vote is all.

Yes. I see what I can do on the CPM as an extension of what I do now. If I can spend this much of my time on videos to help the player; then after I have made a promise to them to work hard, it can only get better. ALready I have release videos to help the voters, i explained the value of the CPM and how the vote system works. At every stage I do what I can. And you can see it.

Relying on past laurels as determiner of the present seems a mistake.
Is it so much to ask to have a pulse check now and have an affirmation that assuage's the questions of a few?
Furthermore, why does it feel like so much of your replies comes with an innate sense of "one-up manship" in your posts here?
Perhaps I am mistaken, and I hope I am Judge.

This is what we've been trying to tell you, almost every time you are asked a question you either dodge it or you go "here is a link to a video/post", It feels like you are putting in minimal effort for the candidacy when you don't even take the time to simply write the answer to the question, even if it is repeating what you have said in the past, at least take the time to put it in text form for the people asking the questions and those who will read this thread in the future.

I do not dropship ram. I don't do it because I do not enjoy when someone does it to me. That does not mean that I condem them for it though. That said I recently got rammed by a player. He was a good player and a fine pilot. What I felt when he rammed me was disappointment. An opportunity for a good fight was lost due to an imbalance in the dropship tiers and the ease of which victory can be obtained.
What is emergent and what is reactive? The explosive LAV is indicative of emergent gameplay, but where did it emerge from? It was borne from the imbalance between AV and tanks. The essence of the tactic is emergent but it's lineage is soiled.
Emergent gameplay is the thing that can separate DUST from other games, but perhaps we should identify what is emergent and what is a response to failings in the games design. The RE-LAV and bumber dropships do add to the game. That surprise, the shock of the new makes the game dynamic. But there needs to be checks and balances here. is it fair and is it fun?
I support a flexible game engine that allows creativity. But like any weapon an RE-lav should be balanced. A ramming dropship should be balanced. Attacker and the attacked should gain some enjoyment from the experience and we must bear that in mind when these things appear.

Also, it seems IWS's post from this thread is missing. Do CPM members have the ability to delete their own messages, or perhaps did someone report their posts? This would be another example to me of an inability to deal with criticism.
CPM members have no ability to moderate the forums, only GM/Devs can moderate the forums and only when those posts have been reported

Also please do not make assumptions on who reported on what posts that is between the GM and reporter and you will likely never ever find out.

Judge, Should you be successful in your campaign, Is there any chance you could also try and push for more complete stats/attributes in game too? This would mean some client changes though, so i realise it may not be something CCP would be interested in doing..
I just really want to be able to see a range attribute in the stats for the weapon ingame, also.. on your summarized stats on a fitted suit.. i don't see any reason why they couldn't have calculated the estimated dps of each weapon slot taking into account the weapon and any damage modifiers you have on the fit, and then displayed this figure assuming 100% efficiency as a dps stat too.
Naturally we can be all keyboard warriors and work it out.. but for a game which is meant to be 'console friendly' .. there's a lot of hidden figures you have to search the net to find which could very easily have been given in the game with the other stats...
Would certainly appreciate someone putting a little pressure on them for this. Plus it would help newer players understand how effective their fits have the potential of being.. Not everyone who picks up and plays the game is like us in terms of doing research.. many players just want to pick up and play. |

To any and everyone reading this. A great deal of these questions that have been fired towards Judge Rhadamanthus should prove more than enough why he should be a CPM. Many of the post I see that seem to look for ways to discredit him are showing every bit of an agenda for why they think someone should not vote for Judge. In my personal opinion, I see no one else really worthy of my time to vote for CPM. Now I do acknowledge there are some who I have never seen or know of, and they could very well be decent candidates. But for the majority I see unfit candidates trying to cover their own short comings by taking the attention away from themselves. Shame on them. I wish you the best in your campaign in helping to better the Dust 514 experience across all aspects, and the same for Legion. You sincerely have my vote.

None of us are trying trying to "cover our own shortcomings". There are seven seats. When Judge announced, I was excited about seeing a candidate with such a high reputation. What we have seen in this thread does not meet that reputation. I want the best seven candidates in the CPM, whether or not that includes myself. (There are more than seven candidates who I think will make great CPM.) When Judge first announced, I started asking questions solely to determine how highly I would put him on my ballot, or recommend him on other people's ballots. Unfortunately, he fell very far short of that.
If you want to vote for Judge, vote for Judge. But please don't assume people such as myself have ulterior motives that simply aren't true. If I call someone out on something, it's because I believe they need to be called out.
As for taking away attention from myself, I really actually enjoy facing the tough questions. Please, by all means, question me. Interrogate me, if you wish. I am not covering anything for anyone.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

I sincerely apologize if my comments offended you. Let's give a little context to them though, for clarification.
Gabriella Grey wrote:In my personal opinion, I see no one else really worthy of my time to vote for CPM. Now I do acknowledge there are some who I have never seen or know of, and they could very well be decent candidates. You [Judge] sincerely have my vote.
Ok, as you may have previously learned, each voter will have 7 votes.
This particular voter, essentially said that:
- They would vote for you.
- They said no one else was worth voting for.
- Acknowledged that some others may be decent candidates, but that they have not seen, nor know of.
With this in mind, do you find it offensive that I would encourage them to check out other threads to learn more about those other candidates they have not yet had the chance to assess?
Is vanilla the best flavor of ice cream? Perhaps, but maybe you just haven't tried rocky road. Or perhaps you still do like vanilla but rocky road is a second favorite. Or perhaps you might learn you hate spumoni. Who knows?
I think each person should be encouraged to check out other candidates. And I promise you if someone came to my thread expressing similar sentiments that I would not be offended if you encouraged them to check out your thread. (even though I did not overtly direct the person to come to my thread, as I was not assuming they had formulated an opinion of me already)
So do I think that it is becoming for me to encourage potential voters to check out all the candidates when they have openly stated they have not? Indeed.
And I do not think you should attempt to shame me if you have a difference of opinion on the matter.
If you disagree i'm quite amiable with refraining from commenting further in your thread.

While Xel was just responding to someone's (quite silly) claims that candidates are trying to direct attention elsewhere, I can see your frustration with him putting a physical link to his thread
Judge, In another thread you stated this:
Quote:Perhaps though, we can get the CPM1 dissolved if the turn out is so poor that It could be argued that the group is so badly non-representative that it does not serve it's function as a player representative group. Perhaps we should force CCP to tell us what percentage of the players voted, and if its say, only 10% (or 12% - 25% whatever) we can push to have it nullified.
As a CPM candidate, why would you even consider a plan about dissolving the CPM? 10% voter turnout is pretty huge turnout (easily more of a turnout that eve online has) considering many players do not even go on the forums.
As I have said in previous posts, including ones that were removed for some reason; At the start of your candidacy I was overjoyed that you were running, but your lack of communication (and also not willing to be social, but thats not really the main issue) conveyed in your stalling of questions until you got a Q+A thread, followed by dodging many questions at the start of your Q+A thread and then only answering with links to past videos and some threads really made me question if i really should be voting for you or not.
Now you are advocating disbanding the CPM not even a week before the voting process start, I don't even know what to say to this.
If there is one question that i personally feel that you should answer, is why did you post that?

Personally ... i think it would be 'great' if other CPM's candidates could stop 'arguing' in a campaign thread so my questions stop getting hidden under the crap you keep going on about.
Dog with a bone much?
... Please.. some people actually have genuine questions and because of you guys nattering on and on about the same points, they are getting missed.
If you 'really' feel a need for going on about this.. how about taking it to a post in the council chamber? As whether your intentions are or are not a smear campaign... it sure looks that way. It's simply insane how much your posting.
Points can be made in a single post if you want to make them and if you put them forward 'clearly' enough.. If you can't do that and have to post and post and post and post because you can't put the entireity of your opinion across in one post without need for repetition.. how on earth are you going to cope with putting across 'clear' and 'consise' arguments and proposals to CCP so that they understand everything they need to in a small amount of time. The more time of theirs you waste.. the less you'll achieve. Judge has clearly proven he has this ability, but the other CPM's dogging at his heels in this thread are clearly proving they don't have this ability.
Now please.. if you feel the need to respond to this.. how about you reply 'in your own threads?' .. or take it to the council chamber so that judge can get on with answering meaningful questions.
It would be great if from here on in.. we could have an adult and mature discussion. *fingers crossed*. |

Lets focus on the politics and less on the smears folks. There is so much good that the CPM can bring to Dust 514 at a time when the game stands at a cross roads. Id rather not have petty infighting be the last act of Dust 514.

No-one should support an institution they feel to be a poor one.

I should not be getting complaints regarding this post; while I know its an opinion piece it sets a harrowing back tone to everything you do and it can be the sword hanging over your head.
Also I find it sad people are resorting to taking snapshots of their own posts in this thread.... though IMO should be a decent practice on any candidate thread; just in case. Care to respond? How would you feel if it gets down to the point that Candidates are banned from posting on each other threads?
Now that's out of the way (and you don't nor do I expect you to respond to the above)

CCP have not ruled out client side changes.
CCP Rattati wrote:It is also a factor of low hanging fruits versus the "recook" issue. Basically, some content like textures requires a recook of assets, which leads to everyone needing to download the whole client again, sometimes partially but sometimes the whole X GB the client is.
We can do it, but there are many things I would like to tweak/fix before we bother the playerbase with a full client re-download.
If the content gets created, by either the DUST 514 or Legion team, we can push it out.
So the things you ask may well be possible.
I would like to see more of the information you ask for. The hidden stats have been demonstrated to cause bugs to go unnoticed, and this causes dissatisfaction in the player base. But we also have to consider that many players also enjoy that part of the game, where you figure out the best fit.

If I identify an issue, something I think is OP to use your example. Then, if it was not covered by the NDA, I would raise it here on the forum, my YouTube channel and whatever hub CPM1 create. While the CPM is a group of experienced players and we may be consulted on issues by CCP, we do not have the right to bypass the community and take our unfiltered thoughts straight to CCP.
I may use the bolt pistol and think it is under-powered. I may have a video showing how difficult it is to kill with. But I have to make sure that my difficulty and experience with that gun is in-line with the other players. It may well be that I am just a terrible player with that gun; and it is only in my hands it is under powered. This is why I do my videos as I do. I show exactly why I think something, and prove my experience with evidence. Then people can talk about the issue I have found and decide if they think my point of view is a good one or a bad one.
[email protected] is the best way to reach me. Skype channels and the like can get so full that messages can scroll away and get lost. I can log, track and be held accountable to an email. So if you sent me an email, no matter the number of signatures, I would look into it with equal vigor.
However. There must be some effort on your part. A CPM member may get 50 emails complaining about every gun. We need to be able to separate the weak complaints from those with merit. In your example I would like a little detail on why is seems under powered to you? What circumstances to encountered that made it feel that way? Then I know where to start any investigation.
It is not a matter of numbers of complaints, someone has to be the first to spot an issue and the CPM that can capture that first occurrence can stop an issue growing out of control. So send me an email, something like
"militia rails seem under powered because when shooting a player in a black suit, you know, the ones with red eyes, he always kills me first"
Now I know where to go to address your specific issue. That speeds up the process for you. I can also see somethings straight away that might help me resolve the issue without wasting too much time finding out it was a known bug or an obvious gear issue.
So, to reiterate, just email me [email protected] with a few details and I can then reply so you know it is on the list and you can chase me to see how it is going.
One voice is a important as 30, because it is what is said not how many voices are saying it.

So you have pretty much resorted to ignoring me it seems judge.
Faced with a hard question that you brought on yourself, instead of clearing the air, you try to bottle up and hope no one will notice?
I really thought you were better than this if i'm honest judge, you had the potential to be one of the strongest candidates but you wasted it, barely answering questions and reacting pretty badly to any criticism that appeared
You stick your head in the sand when the going gets tough, If you do get elected i fear that your head won't ever come out of the sand.

Faced with a hard question that you brought on yourself, instead of clearing the air, you try to bottle up and hope no one will notice?
I really thought you were better than this if i'm honest judge, you had the potential to be one of the strongest candidates but you wasted it, barely answering questions and reacting pretty badly to any criticism that appeared
You stick your head in the sand when the going gets tough, If you do get elected i fear that your head won't ever come out of the sand.
I think you should attach the original question to your post for charity, both for us and him, as it will be harder to miss that way (therefore less of an excuse)

As a CPM candidate, why would you even consider a plan about dissolving the CPM? 10% voter turnout is pretty huge turnout (easily more of a turnout that eve online has) considering many players do not even go on the forums. As I have said in previous posts, including ones that were removed for some reason; At the start of your candidacy I was overjoyed that you were running, but your lack of communication (and also not willing to be social, but thats not really the main issue) conveyed in your stalling of questions until you got a Q+A thread, followed by dodging many questions at the start of your Q+A thread and then only answering with links to past videos and some threads really made me question if i really should be voting for you or not. Now you are advocating disbanding the CPM not even a week before the voting process start, I don't even know what to say to this. If there is one question that i personally feel that you should answer, is why did you post that?

You said you had one question Tech Da Ra. Why did I post that? I did not. I posted more than the fragment you quoted. On it's own that fragment is miss representative of my post.
If the whole thread is read and the rest of that post, it is evident I am warning people not to avoid voting. That very post has a video link where i talk about how important the CPM is and why they should vote. I then say

I then explain one way they can fight an institution they feel does not represent them. Is it wrong to advocate that people vote? warn them of the consequences of not voting but then remind them that any electorate can fight to de-seat its representatives if it chooses too?

Should an electorate be able to seek to dissolve a body it has no faith in? If you support a CPM that, we the players, cannot ask CCP to reconsider at anytime in their term then I am greatly concerned for the future of the players rights should such a CPM get elected. As a small side issue I would point out that your question was asked yesterday, on the 6th in a different time zone on the Sunday of the July 4ths extensive holiday period, when I, and many others were traveling. I could only respond periodically due to the nature of the location I was in (the woods) and the low tech devices I had access too. I had to reply in short bursts as frequently as I could. As you will see I was in the process of replying to all the comments from the weekend, starting with the less complex questions that were easier to format. While we all try to respond in a timely manner, for all things, there will always be exceptional circumstances that challenge us. The July 4th weekend is one of those times, as is Christmas or the new year or Ramadan. Sometimes there are short periods of time, where life inserts a small pause.
This is the reply i've been looking for, and it's a good one at that judge.
You've cleared up some misconceptions I had taken from your post in the general section, although i'm still sceptical that you think 10% is low voter turnout, but i'll digress on that one
That's fair enough if you we're out for the weekend for a national holiday, although I don't think you can blame me for being impatient given that elections were days away and your track record for avoiding questions for a long time (something that you have improved upon)
All in all, this is the type of reply that i wanted to see from you, it took a long time but i'm happy with the answer

Without wishing to be seen as jumping in, I will say that at Fanfest several of the Dev's including Saberwing comfirmed to me and Tech during conversation, that the active forum users represent about 10% of the total regular player base.
So if the turnout is 10% its likely comprised of 100% of us Forum dwellers. Something to consider I feel in the debate about what constitutes electorate apathy.

I used 10% as just an example, notice I also said in brackets, 12% or 25% whatever.
Quote:only 10% (or 12% - 25% whatever)
I am suggesting a percentage as a metric here. not setting that percentage. I'm don't set 10% as the minimum or 25% as the maximum. It is pretty clear with my use of "perhaps" as well that I am just putting out a concept, not dictating a rule.
As I explained to Tech, my point is not the metric but the concept. An electorate should retain the right to protest those elected to represent them. If you disagree Tech or Kevall then I would be interested to hear why.

Put simply their right to protest those elected is to either run themselves to ensure their views are heard or to vote for those that share them.
It's been said that history is made by those that show up.
Its like the guy at work or in the pub, we've all met them, who complains that all politicians are the same and not in it to help but for what they can get. And then you ask them...
"Well who did you vote for?"
And the answer is nearly always the same 'Didn't vote for any of them!'
?????
Then you have no right, no right whatsoever to either criticise or condemn them for anything, when you couldn't even pull your finger out to vote. It's also usually the point where we shake our head and take our drink to talk to to someone more interesting.
I studied Politics and Government in college and I'm struggling to remember any free and democratic election ever being declared void due to low turnout. There's been a couple of court cases where the losing party has tried to do that but all have struck down by the relevant country's judicial system.
I would also add that declaring the CPM as void for such a reason is likely to further disenfranchise players, who took the time to vote. And these are the kind of players we should be desperate to keep in the game.

Of course they have the right to protest. Free society and all that. But that protest only has any form of credence or coherent argument if they themselves were engaged in the process to begin with.
Do they have the right to dissolve said result when A) they didn't vote or stand to ensure their view was counted or B) they don't like the result then frankly, no they don't.
They were given the chance to express their view and either didn't or couldn't be bothered. Should the views of those who cared enough to have their say be stifled or dismissed as irrelevant by the apathy of others? No.
Those who feel that the CPM is not worth the effort, I sorry to say this, ignoring it doesn't mean it's going to go away. It's here and it's happening. Either engage yourself in the process or choose to ignore it.
But taking the latter option renders any complaint about the result you have as void and not the result itself.

I take it Judge is inspiring a wider conversation on the nature of free speech politcs and democratice representation within the context of the players rights and the future democratic process and principles we seem to trying to instill into CCPs FPS players (wether dust or legion). Getting us to look at the wider picture and at the same time be focused on everyday player balance and NPE, while the competition attack him yeah must endorse The Judge.

Well this thread has been very helpful in weeding out candidates who are not worthy of getting one of my seven votes. The shameless assault upon Judge, that he handled in a tasteful and professional manner, spoke volumes as to the character of those tossing the rocks.
I guess when you are the CEO of a internet spaceship university you just imagine everyone must be smiley and optimistic, that is the kind of thinking that gets the village idiot elected.
It would be quite effective if candidates were indeed barred from posting in other candidates forum campaign threads. The thoughtless bashing done by other candidates in this forum prove that it should not be allowed.
Because Judge has such a strong reputation the competition attempted to pull a "Carl Rove" on him an attack as if his strength was a weakness. Because those attacking lacked the credentials Judge has from his videos the question distorted into "what else can you do?"
In all honesty they can not match what Judge has already done for Dust514 players.
Apparently they feel slighted because he has not socialized with them enough, aka kissed the ring.
Judge I am pleased that you have not yielded to these undeserved attacks from a few ego centered candidates who want to attack you as a person because you have already surpassed them on the issues that players are concerned about. They want to create a clubhouse called CPM1, and it's members only, they'll have none of your talk about doing what is good for the players and the game.
Judge deserves the vote and the support of all the players who want someone to actually represent them when facing CCP.
Please remember who these other characters are who care little for us, the players, an instead seek just to have their slate of pals elected who all want to play in the CPM1 Clubhouse.

I honestly do not understand why people dont think logically. Why would anyone attempt to discredit Judge when the alternative of trying to bandwagon off of his popularity? Theres many ways they could have and theyd never have risked alienating his supporters in the process. It makes no sense to me that people simply assume intent as opposed to simply asking.
Ive never bashed judge but the accusations and insults leveled against dennie and others who have disagreed with him seems quite presumptuous ill informed and even downright pathetic.
I accuse judge of just wanting a free trip to shanghai! What good does this idiotic accusation accomplish?
About as much as saying someone claiming that other candidates that have demonstrated for over a year their commitment to improving the game and helping and participating in the community are guilty of only wanting to get their pals elected to a "cpm playhouse."
Has judge contributed to the dust wiki? Or been answering questions on reddit, irc, or the dust facebook group? Are these contributions any less worthy than making videos and posting threads to the few that peruse the forums?
Articulating others unstated untrue slanderous "motivations" because they didnt get along perfectly with judge is utterly sad and unproductively caustic.
And despite it disagreeing with a supporter i strongly hope judge takes a stand against such appalling posting.

Going to post this here in Judges CPM thread as i like him the most.
What seriously are you doing? All of you CPM wannabees and your hanger ons. why are you basically trying to kneecap each other (selectively)?
Dust 514 is a sinking ship as of right now, we are even having some pretty doubtful discussions about eveoffline.com which seems to be showing some....lets say.. errors when it comes to how many people are playing this game.
My concern right now is that Dust 514 is totally done. It has no chance to ever accrue players with the current lethargy being shown it by CCP and this is just the starting point:
1 - CCP is financially not doing too well, its owners (go read least years annual report) will only continue to bankroll it so far, Iceland's economy is all but killing growth in the country and this is why they had to let so many people go. (RIP Saberwing never forget)
2 - Dust 514 is a VERY VERY EXTREMELY niche product - given how hardcore the player base is thats left, its likely that Dust 514's entire player base is less than 20k now - this i feel makes sense as so often we see the same names over and over yet there are so few of them.
3 - Legion - ahh legion, where to begin here - if you have played Destiny, you will already be smirking about Legion, too little too late. Unless Legion hits the shelves with a 90%+ score, it will again be heralded as a failure and will likely be the hammer blow to CCPS IP to 'mercs on the ground'
4 - Competition - Lets face it, Destiny isn't the only competition to Dust, there is going to be a huge number of 'space games' coming to the PC as well as open world 'Dayz' or 'Borderlands' inspired shooters that CCP as a company who have never done this before, have to over come? well no, they actually could never have millions of people playing their games due to the single server stuff, so its likely that Legion will again like Dust be aimed at perhaps 20k people........
So to get to my point, do you honestly feel that fighting about who gets the hot seat has any meaning at all?
Do you really think that slander and manipulation to get lesser minds into the CPM means anything to the success of Dust?
The answer is no - none of this matters but i wanted to kind of point out that the CPM is working hard to get into power to then be the group named and shamed for killing Dust - yes that's right, CCP is likely to cancel Dust while your in council and we will all know your real names and forever mock and hate you for ushering in the death of something good.
Stop fighting and squabbling with each other and get Dust 514 transferred to Legion in the best way while also pushing CCP along as they don't have the luxury of time with legion, in fact its perhaps already an old concept seeing as Destiny has beat them to the punch.

The problem with all of that is that while Destiny is a fun game, I'm far from wowed or amazed by it. There isn't anything all that new or amazing in Destiny, and I'm glad I never boarded the hype train because I would have been severely disappointed if I had. Don't get me wrong its a fun game, I'll play it, but there isn't much that sets it apart from anything else.
See Pyrex the thing is, will Dust be canceled during CPM1's watch? Who knows. But the fact of the matter is that you can either join the doom and gloom train, or you can try to make a better experience for the players. I'm not the type to sit around and wait for the end to come. People have invested a lot of time and money into this game, they deserve to have people fight to give them what they deserve.
I don't think anyone running for CPM will say they're not interested in pushing to have Dust moved into Legion, that will always be a primary concern. However until that can happen, we need to focus on making Dust as enjoyable as possible for the players. I don't know about you, but I feel that's a proper goal to be fighting for.

Actually, refusing to converse with fellow candidates speaks volume on how well he'll work with the other six of them that get elected. The fact that he hasn't interfaced well with, to my knowledge, a single other candidate in this election, means that he's going to be pretty useless on the CPM if he doesn't learn real fast how to work with other people. His attitude he's shown in this thread won't cut it on the CPM, and nobody's going to tolerate it.
You guys and your tinfoil hats have some crazy notion that there's a secret cabal of people who have it out for Judge. In reality, the truth is, like 80% of the candidates have heavily conversed in advance, loyalties or support completely aside, and we can all, whoever makes it or doesn't, basically create a working productive conversation. That's the goal: That everyone elected participates in a great conversation. If I don't make it on, I know a lot of these people will form a great CPM.
What happened, was when we invited Judge to participate, he refused, because he was too high and mighty to possibly be seen conversing with other candidates. The best I can figure, he thinks he's running for a solitary role, rather than running to be on a Council. His attitude has demonstrated he views us as competitors rather than other people trying to make the game better. The reason we aren't having slap fests in every other campaign thread: Because none of us are actually viewing each other as competitors. We're viewing each other as fellow activists for making the game better. I am not competing with Judge, I want to work with Judge, or whoever else gets elected, to make the game better. Unfortunately, he's given me no reason to believe he can do that effectively, unlike about fourteen candidates who have proven they can.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

That's the goal: That everyone elected participates in a great conversation. If I don't make it on, I know a lot of these people will form a great CPM. What happened, was when we invited Judge to participate, he refused, because he was too high and mighty to possibly be seen conversing with other candidates. The best I can figure, he thinks he's running for a solitary role, rather than running to be on a Council. His attitude has demonstrated he views us as competitors rather than other people trying to make the game better. The reason we aren't having slap fests in every other campaign thread: Because none of us are actually viewing each other as competitors. We're viewing each other as fellow activists for making the game better. I am not competing with Judge, I want to work with Judge, or whoever else gets elected, to make the game better. Unfortunately, he's given me no reason to believe he can do that effectively, unlike about fourteen candidates who have proven they can. So now you get to speak for all the other candidates ..... yep you're not an ego centered self indulgent clown looking for a coronation.
Why you felt the need to respond surprised me, I knew long before this thread you were not a good candidate to vote for. You are quick to anger, you do not make good arguments that are thoughtful and concise, you are just another wannabe fanboy looking to get noticed.
Did the thought ever occur to you that he has the right to run his campaign the way he wanted to and not the way you think he should?
But that would be an independent thought happening in your head, haha, what are the chances of that happening.
You seem like you are pretty popular so you just keep believing the hype, maybe one day you'll understand representing people goes beyond agreeing with only those you already agree with, and it means looking out for all of them.

Temba, you've called out people you think are bad candidates, not because you're competing with them. I assume, or hope, it's because you want to highlight good candidates and put down bad candidates so we get a good CPM. Or what you believe will be a good CPM. Posts such as mine here are not different. I call out Judge for having an awful campaign because he has an awful campaign. I've supported the candidates I believe are healthy for the game, and pointed out those who are not. That's really all there is to it.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

The fact that you see no difference between a player calling out a candidate and another candidate calling out someone they are running against speaks volumes in itself. You are not ready for "prime time" as the saying goes.
I want voters to see the difference between candidates who want to represent all the players and the candidates who are looking for an ego stroke.
I am just a guy who invested time and money into DUST514, I did not even have a playstation console before CCP introduced the game. I want them to at least live up to the obligation they generated when they introduced the game and asked us EVE Online players to play it.
We do not need ineffective clowns looking for personal acknowledgement representing us with CCP, Hilmar and the boys will eat you for lunch. We need strong intelligent principled representatives, you have demonstrated none of these attributes here in the forums.

I agree with you completely Tempa. I know Judge and that's why he got my vote.
You give up our position one more time, I'll bleed you, real quiet, and leave you here. Got that?

Temba, I am a player. Running for CPM doesn't make me any different in other threads. We're all invested in who does and doesn't get selected, whether we're on the council or not. And I may not get elected, and so yeah, I'm definitely interested in who does get that seat, and making sure they're competent individuals.
I'm not running for myself. I'm traditionally more of a behind-the-scenes guy. I tend to admin and support websites for people, poke people to do things that need doing, etc. I am never the popular dude in a community. (I'm really not particularly comfortable being there, normally.) I stepped up to run because I thought we needed good people to do so, and at the time, I didn't see enough of them. There's fantastic candidates out there now, several that will do a great job on the CPM. If I don't win, but enough of the people I endorsed do, I'm a happy camper. If you want ineffective clowns on the CPM, support a guy who refuses to communicate with other people actively. Because dealing with CCP and Hilmar is all about communication. (And everyone who has to talk to Hilmar has a BIG job ahead of them.)
The CPM is a lot of work and a lot of stress. To be honest, I will get a lot more done in my real life if I do not win. (I'd like to work out more, my gym membership is just bleeding my wallet otherwise.) I understand what the job entails, and I want to do it only in that I think I can help. If players decide not to put me in that seat, that's a lot less work for me. I really hope that regardless of who they pick specifically, they pick people who are versed at two-way communication, not a video creator who thinks "I posted a video about this topic" is a thread response.

Let's take this to your thread, your signature is a provocation in another candidates thread. People should be here to support or evaluate Judge not see your link to your campaign thread.
Soraya from what you have said above I take it you are now ready to bow out of this election and let the other good candidates win so you can get more use out of your gym membership correct?
I endorse that idea Soraya! Go to the gym, get out of this race!

I fail to see how my signature has any bearing on the relevance of my discussion points regarding Judge.
Read into the post as you will, my point is that I'm here to serve if the community so chooses. No more, no less.

However after the poor performance of Iron Wolf Saber and most of CPM0 more failure on the CPM is something we can ill afford.
Your commitment seems lackluster at best, I'd agree your time would be better spent using your gym membership.

I'm truly curious if you believe Judge, who's already talked multiple times about either resigning or trying to get the CPM disbanded, sounds more "committed" than someone who's been actively pushing for CPM1 elections and campaigning nearly six months longer than Judge has.
It seems like you are just twisting whatever post you can, in any way you can, rather than holding onto a coherent point or reason. Where I come, we call that trolling.
