DUST Search - CPMS: Moving Forward

We are working on that at this moment. We have set up a board outside of CCPs sphere. I have created a CPM channel on my youtube to push data out and collect input. We are cleaning the CPM section of the forums and more. However there are some administration tasks involved in getting CPM1 up and running at full speed. The handover is in full swing and the administration tasks are all but complete.

CCP have to be certain that the group is up to speed. Remember that CCP is a business and letting outsiders see inside is a big risk. Caution is a wise move. As a CPM member I am making sure I know exactly what is going on before I open my mouth and blunder my way across the forums. There is a lot of work for me to catch up on. The process of getting up to date is not an easy one.

CCP staff holidays, admin restrictions and catch up all impact CPM1. We all have to make sure we know the limits of the NDA before we can speak about topics. Personally I am being cautious at this stage while I come to terms with the things that CCP wish to be public and those that are protected for very good reasons.

Rest assured that a great deal of work is being done. The CPM generates for me about 1000 Skype messages and 30 emails a day. There are video calls, early morning meetings and messages to and from CCP. Last week I spent 11 hours speaking to players in game about all sorts of issues (mostly discussing snipers, charlie changes and FW mechanics). We meet with CCP and with each other.

CCP needs meetings to tell you that the dead game is dead? The only good reason CCP has to keep info bottled up is to prevent people from fleeing. So just like the previous CPM, your primary job is to mislead the people you are allegedly representing. Which one of the current crop is going to replace IWS as head apologist?

So do I. A lot. We need a strong case and a clear and concise list of things to put in it. Yeah, like enough people to actually play it, and a not garbage game. Both of which are about as likely as me having a three way with Eleanor Roosevelt and Megan Fox on Mars. Mr Hybrid Vayu, tanker supreme.

IWS was re-elected to CPM1. I think you mean appointed. I doubt anyone actually gave enough of a crap to inspect the voting record. CCP wouldn't turn IWS away after all the help he gave them getting cash out of peoples pockets. Mr Hybrid Vayu, tanker supreme.

What the community wants doesn't matter. What CCP wants to do and has the manpower to do does, and the answer to both of those is: not a whole hell of a lot. If your requests involve more than changing numbers in a DB somewhere, you are SOL. Deal with it, and when the CPM tells you otherwise, call them out for being shills and apologists.
