Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5484	Posted - 2015.01.21 16:42:00 - [2] - Quote Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 1. Less than 1% of the active playerbase voted for the CPM (according to CCPs active playerbase figures) so the other 99% believe that there is no one to bother voting for/no need for a CPM or simply just dont care so would you back an option on the ballot to have 'I dont want a CPM' option? No, because I know how bad of an idea this would be. The rest of the CPM will entirely agree with me on that. The CPM is vital to the life of the game, whether you get butthurt about forum answers you get or not. Less than 1% of the active playerbase votes for the CPM because less than 10% of the active playerbase uses the DUST forums like... ever. (And I'm probably being generous on my statistic.) Most people just log in and play the game, nothing more. It doesn't mean they don't care, or don't benefit from the CPM existing, they just don't know it exists. If anything, this is a good cause to more heavily promote the CPM in-game. However, the voting percentage will always be a very small percentage of total players, as is the same with the CSM in EVE as well. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 2. If a CPM member is not doing as they were elected ie judge going awol and playing destiny - Do you agree that we the playerbase should have the ability to get rid and get someone who may actually do something instead of waiting for a trip to china? While the player community holds the privilege of selecting the CPM, it is CCP's responsibility to vet candidates for eligibility, monitor their performance as CPM members (as players are not adequately capable of determining this during a term), and removing CPM members should there be cause to. As players have no ability to gauge internal activity level of CPM members, it's borderline impossible for players to make an educated decision about the status of a sitting CPM. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 3. After the rouge wedding and CPM0 terrible terrible terrible reign in which all confidence was lost for the next decade and in future CPMs since they stuck around for a free trip to fanfest when they knew the game was effectively being cancelled (not including based french caz who resigned), why should CCP even think of sending CPM1 (who havnt really improved on anything) to china let alone to the end of the road of where they live? What can they do in china that they can do on skype and other communications apart from eat a dog and waste CCP time and money which is earned from the players While it's unfortunate that as of yet we have not gotten a summit, we thankfully have a really good working relationship particularly with CCP Rattati, so we've been able to get a lot done. However, there are definite perks to a summit, in being able to see some of the process at work, and have an actual sit-down meeting with the developers. It's actually probably the most helpful to have a summit early in the term, to set the plan in motion for the rest of the term. As far as CPM0, you owe them more than you'll ever imagine. They were not prepared for the task that they faced, and they were put through 18 months of absolute concentrated stress. They went above and beyond the call of duty, even with some of the mistakes that were made. You seem to have a disjointed view that without CPM0 things would have been better, when in fact, things would have been much, much worse. And you probably owe me something too for entertaining your countless tirades and answering your questions honestly anyways. ;) CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Did CPM0 get to go? CPM0 got a fairly hasty summit after Fanfest in Reykjavik. However, they did not get to go to Shanghai. The CPM1 has not been to Shanghai as of this time. Ripley Riley wrote: Also, these questions and their tone pretty much ensures that CPM will avoid them like the plague Phrase them less like you are on the attack and they might be more willing to give you the answers you want. If I didn't answer questions that sounded like they were on the attack, I would never answer any questions. o_o CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

I honestly think it'd be hard to find a squad of CCP devs that'd be daring enough to try and take us on. ;) Middas Betancore wrote: Also I get u spend a lot of time on CPM, to your best honest effort, how many hours a week do u spend on CPM activity? I multitask with my other daily responsibilities, but I am responding to forums and Skype probably at least 10 hours a day. Middas Betancore wrote: Can u all vote for me on CPM2 please If I think you'll be a good candidate. ;) As with last year, I will publish a list of my top choices for CPM once the final candidate list is published.

Forge gun. It kills vehicles. It snipes infantry (if you have a mouse, and they stop moving for a moment). What's not to love? CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5490	Posted - 2015.01.21 20:46:00 - [7] - Quote Middas Betancore wrote: Other than dust, over the last 6 months, what games have been getting most of your playtime? I haven't had time for other games really. I tried PlanetSide 2 again the other day (while recording Biomassed this weekend) and I've been playing a little bit of the new World of Warcraft expansion, but I haven't had much time for games in a couple of months. Middas Betancore wrote: What are some of your all time fav games? Mass Effect 2. Portal 1 and 2. Middas Betancore wrote: What do u think is the most valuable lesson/s youve learnt being CPM? Devs are people too. ;) Except Rattati, he's clearly an alien. Middas Betancore wrote: What advice do you have for future CPM candidates? Be prepared for a lot of work and a lot of hate. If you get on the CPM, people will sling a lot of mud at you. Some justified, some not. And to work with CCP, you have to balance understanding of their limitations with a firm push on what needs to happen. Middas Betancore wrote: What's the upcoming feature/update/fix you are most looking forward to seeing implemented? Player trading. It will make everything better. CPM1 Elect.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5490	Posted - 2015.01.21 20:48:00 - [8] - Quote BAMM HAVOC wrote: Sorry xel don't believe you, you and your troll buddy ripley have derailed what few questions I was attempting to gather via the forums. The idea was for you the CPM to read the questions posed by the few remaining players and have ample time to respond when I asked you them during the discussion. I honest to God didn't see that sentence until the post where I quoted it. I kept answering after though, because I realized it would be silly for me to not answer questions I knew people wanted to know just to save them for your show. And I don't think people should be forced to watch a video or listen to a podcast or go to a specific place to get my answer. Ripley's hilarious sometimes, but we don't collaborate. CPM1 Elect.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5499	Posted - 2015.01.21 23:23:00 - [10] - Quote I actually do support having a variety of formats of information distribution. Which is why I do a podcast, am willing to do a voice thing with BAMM even though he's a bit prickly, and also answer questions directly here as well. :) CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5509	Posted - 2015.01.22 01:04:00 - [11] - Quote DDx77 wrote: I've always been curious as to how certain ideas get traction on the forums Is it likes? General replies to an idea? Multiple threads on same topic? For example if I post a feature idea to buff the cloak, does my idea get logged/looked at in some way or am I wasting time posting if no one likes/views or replies to it? Droves of multiple threads tend to gain a lot of attention. Folks trying to get their class buffed though will get a few alts and some buddies and just plan that out though. ;) Some dropship pilots tried to make a big show of swarms being OP, but since it was like a "one afternoon, the same group of people started crying in the same 20 threads", it was really obvious it was staged. ;) CPM1 Elect.

Because it's infinity times better than a group of people elected by 0% of the player base deciding the fate of the game. And CPM don't "decide the fate of the game" anyways. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 1. DUST worked fine before we had a CPM - It is in no way vital to DUST, under CPM0 we had moreproblems than enough which ended up with the rouge wedding and IWS being trotted out to defend CCP with a post about old games and DLC which didnt convince anyone by the way, i dont think CPM0 could have got any worse Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Man, you have no idea. No freaking clue. And I don't know how you are still stuck on this: The CPM couldn't have stopped what happened last Fanfest. Sorry, we're simply not that powerful. It's nice to know you think so much of us, but it's simply nonsense. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 3. Unfortunate? You havnt earned it and why do you need to see a dev do some coding? and your sit down meeting you can do on the net anyways Where did you get the impression a business trip had to be earned? It's work, man. It's not a sightseeing trip. If you're curious how this works, check out some of the past EVE CSM's 180-page meeting minutes. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 3a. CPM0 was not prepared for anything and that isnt stress and they did not go beyond the call of duty because they sat at a computer talking and waiting for a fanfest trip CPM0 had one job: Set up the white paper for the first CPM election. (Which they did.) At no point in their job description where they supposed to be a full CPM, much less a CPM for 18 unending months. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5526	Posted - 2015.01.22 14:59:00 - [15] - Quote Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 1. So CCP ignored CPM did the rouge wedding anyways and CPM still came out to back CCP for the trainwrech at fanfest - Again why do we need you when CCP ignores you anyways? It's a matter of scale. We can talk to the game devs about a lot of stuff, and affect things on that scale. But for the most part, big company-sized decisions that would be made at the boardroom level are rarely going to be something we can do anything about. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 2. You earn it, you should have to earn it with your actions which so far doesnt account to much and it is not work, its volunteering at best and the CSM actually does stuff and talk to the playerbase, they are useful which i cannot say the same about your lot If CCP wasn't convinced any particular person was worth paying to fly anywhere, I suspect they would not receive a plane ticket. (Are you aware that only like half the CSM gets flown to their summit?) I'm talking to the playerbase right now. And yes, it actually is work. I'm sure IWS can present you with some examples of what he's been working on. Spreadsheets, man. Lazer Fo Cused wrote: 3. Yea one job and they couldnt do that on time and it should have taken a month at best to do Yeah, it really didn't take CPM0 that long to do their job. The rest was CCP dragging them along for the ride. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.
