Here is the list of the people I will be voting for for CPM1. They are all a really great group of people and while we don't agree on everything (And I'd argue that's a good thing) I've had the pleasure of working with them over the past few months and can assure you they're very easy to work with and bring a ton of experience and energy to the table.
1 - Pokey Dravon
I'm a player from early Closed Beta and have seen Dust from it's most humble of roots. I've seen what works and what doesn't, and have made a point to extensively try out as many different roles as possible to gain a wide understanding of game mechanics. As a jack of all trades I can easily have a conversation with a wide array of players about many topics and determine the difference between good and poor feedback. I've been very active in conceptual design for the game as well as working with various focus groups to get some fantastic feedback. I hope that I can take an even more involved role in Dust's ongoing support and development.
2 - Cross Atu
Cross Atu has been a very valuable member of the Dust community, spending much time in game as well as in the Feedback section of the forum, working and discussion various issues and ideas with many players in the game. Doing so has given him a very informed viewpoint about many aspects of the game.
One thing I really like about Cross is that we don't agree on everything, but our debates are always respectful and productive. Overall Cross makes for a very informed player that will work well with others and would make for an excellent member of the CPM.
3 - Soraya Xel
Soraya is a very enthusiastic CPM1 candidate who is always eager to share ideas and collect feedback from other players. He is also a co-host for the Biomassed Podcast and brings excellent discussion to the show. His technical expertise and in-game experience make him a very personable and knowledgeable player, and would make for an excellent member of the CPM.
4 GÇô Black Jackal
GÇ£The Thunder from Down UnderGÇ¥ has been a long time player from Closed Beta and I remember having some very heated discussions with him about the game. However our conversations were always polite and he was always willing to listen to reason and change his mind, just as he managed to change my mind on some issues. We don't agree on everything but are typically able to reach a conclusion we can both support. Very pleasant to work with and has the experience to back up his opinions, he would make for an easy to work with member on the CPM
5 - Zatara Rought
While Zatara has had a certainly....colorful past, I will say that my opinion of him as a candidate has improved significantly once I got to know him. While his actions in game may be questionable to many, his passion and experience are hard to beat. I've had many great conversations over the past couple months and it's very clear that even if you don't like how he plays the game, he is still fully capable of representing you as a player.
6 - Aeon Amadi
Initially I didn't know much about Aeon initially, but talking with him in person really impressed me with his understanding of the game and his confidence in his ability to serve the community. He has a very level head and a good understanding of game mechanics . Overall a well rounded and strong candidate.
7 GÇô SirManBoy
Another newcomer, perhaps a little late to the race, but I have been very impressed by his sense of humility and his dedication to the community. A champion of the average player, he really wants to get everyone more involved in all aspects of the game. I really respect someone who is so confident in his convictions, while maintaining a strong sense of humility to keep ego out of the equation. I feel he would be a very fair and reasonable member of the CPM who would fight for your average joe.
Honorable Mentions -
I'm only posting up the people I'm actually going to vote for, but there are a few others that I would totally vote for given more seats. Honestly it was nerve wracking to make these selections and I would not bat an eye in swapping these guys into my voting list if I had to. You should certainly take a look at them closely and consider them for your ballot.
Iron Wolf Saber
xp3ll3ed dust
Mossellia Delt
All really great guys and it was really hard for me to not put them on my top 7, but would still make for fantastic members of the CPM1.
Like my ideas?
