SLENDER M4N wrote: Yay! Now give me a reason why I should vote for you.
To me, DUST 514 is one of the last gleaming diamonds in the age of terribad Triple AAA games that are so cookie cutter and bland you can't tell one from the next annual money grab.
This game is so unbelievably dynamic and so full of potential that I just can't leave it alone. I've been with this game since the near beginning of Mordu's Trials. In the three years leading up to know I for some reason adopted a non FotM behavior that, to my detriment, caused me to become unbelievably angry at this game. More so than I have an other game I've played, and contrary to how I come off on the forums I'm a pretty patient guy so for a game to make me angry to the point of refusing to play it takes quite a bit of work. Regardless of the age of Apocalypse dropships, lasers, raining orbitals etc. even in those eras of near unplayable gameplay I still wanted to come back, a lot of us did.
I came back, because this game offered something that no other game offers. A feeling of personal progression and possession and lore so intricate and depthless you can just get lost in it and don't even have to play the game to enjoy the world of New Eden.
And it doesn't just stop at the gameplay itself but this community is so great I don't even have to play the game and just chat away with any guys in my various chat channels and have a good time and good laughs. I've made good friends and lasting relationships in this game and along the way helped me cope with some things going on in my personal life. Even on the forums, the communication between our players, nothing comes close to it that I know we get down each others throats from time to time but I really do appreciate most of you guys and the entertainment and feedback we provide.
I'm just rambling about how much I love this game and CCP and I'll explain about the why now.
Point is, I love this game deeply. There's a personal attachment to this game that I have and want to help make it better. As a long time player of this game I've experienced first hand what does and does not work and will hopefully do my best to steer us clear of the repeated mistakes that we are still suffering from.
I started out as a scrub, worked my way up, waged war against an alliance that had complete control of the star map just to become the the new enemy to control the entire starmap to fight off the remaining player base that joined together to defeat our EoN alliance which we still won and eventually fell victim to the release of the ps4, boredom and stagnicity which DUST suffered from at the time. After all that I went into Fatal Absolution and did what I always did but now I felt a need to not just go where the good players. I became tired of blueing up with all the good players in an alliance and then wonder "why is there no competition?" I decided to carve my own path and started training up new players and getting more active in FW as a means to since FW is the bridge between Pubs and PC and we will officially create a Lucent Echelon corporation when everything is ready in place.
Now the point of all that rambling is to explain that I know how it is. Starting out is absolutely terrible, it's not fun and it should be a heck of a lot easier on newer guys than it is now. Even with the improvements to the NPE we still could do better.
I also know the importance and great feeling of triumphance and thrill when you win as the underdog or stomp out the opposition as a ruler and now, the helping trying to teach players how to get more organized to go up against higher tier players. My heart is where FW is but I understand and know from experience that these game modes need improvements to them in general. Also understand that just because I desperately want FW in a better state doesn't mean it will happen, CPM doesn't have the magical power of always convincing the game developers to do specifically what one person may want to do.
Once again, I apologize for randomly ranting, It's 3am here and I should probably stop trying to talk and just wait for me to make a coherent post for you.
Urgh, I'll just post highlights before I keel over in my chair.
- Importance of Lore is highly important with me and should be evident in the game / parallels with EVE - Lore must not get in the way of fun and balance - There is room for translation and compromise
- Active with the community - Active within the game itself - Veteran experience with DUST 514 being here for 3 years - Extremely familiar with this game - Not biased, as much as people love to get my ingrained Gallente Role Play heavily confused with complete "OP" dominance. A flavor of the month eviornemnt is extremely unhealthy for any game .
- Listens to people - Talks to people - I'm not one for holding things back. Unless it's covered in NDA I will let you know what's going on and I will make damn sure that your problems are being acknowledged. - I've got no problem acknowledging that I'm wrong or have been wrong regardless of what some would like to think. - I'm Straightforward - I am a DUST 514 player
Negatives:
- I will say though I don't feel I have many, just a really big one. My biggest, glaring negative is being hot tempered when dealing with certain people my patience drops to near zero when offended and I've been working on that heavily.
- I sometimes get tunnel vision with some ideas of mine but luckily I have my skype channels I talk to to try and see any errors of my ideas before I post them on the forums.
- I'm only a Sergeant and not a Captain.
I wish I could type more but I should really sleep, work tomorrow. I think a Podcast or live text chat Q & A would be most appropriate for this kind of question.
Anywho, night guys. Special appreciation if you actually managed to read through that incoherent rabble of a post.

This guy if he runs Are they even doing CPM2 though? Oh and I'd day FW is way more my baby than Kirk's FW can be our Love Child.

Adipem Nothi wrote:Sgt Kirk wrote:... this community is so great I don't even have to play the game Sgt Kirk wrote:90% of this community are slack-jawed idiots ^ Community Representative material? Click here for 5 more pages of you calling us idiots. Your good friend Zatara successfully ran a "I'm humble now!" campaign. He's got an ego like you've got a temper, and once elected, it immediately showed. People will say whatever it takes to get a vote. You say you're open-minded now. That you listen to people. That you're working on your hot temper. I hope you are. And if you get elected, I really hope you are. But after Zatara, I'm not inclined to believe you (you and he are good friends, right?). I'm more inclined to believe that you'll be exactly who you've always been, and that someone is plain to see in your post history. TL;DR: I think you have good ideas, Kirk, but I think you'd be a terrible community representative. Zatara isn't even my corporation leader anymore, he's an alright guy and I got along with him but I definitely would not say I'm good friends with him like you put it. He left the game as CPM and that doesn't sit well with me.
Also, that quote. Yep. It's nowhere near 90% I remember saying that when I was in one of my frustrated moods. No right to say it as nasty as it was back then but that's defiantly one of the anger points I've been working on.
Also, yeah, its pretty clear that I listen to people, I've backed off proposals and changed them entirely because the community explained that they weren't the best ideas.
But amongst all your post that put me in negative light I guarantee you there are four times as many post that are in a good favor and besides posting in the barbershop I haven't been angry in a good long second. You pay attention to what you wish to find and everything isn't all gloom and doom as you wish to find.
But back to Zatara, once again. Not trying to be dismissive of Zatara i respected his goal of trying to beat the big dogs back then and that's why i enlisted but my home was Synergy Gaming, that's where i peaked in full enjoyment of the game. Once it dissolved, i just needed a temporary place to go to be my corporation and FA ended up being a longer than expected stay due to lack of corporations. If you guys think FA guys are toxic the things I've seen make me blush compared to that. With us making a new corporation soon i will soon call that my home but I am not "good friends" with anybody in this game besides about 8 people. Most of whom I am forming the corp with.
Lastly, I am not Zatara. I wouldn't dare leave the game for a casual, soulless, "AAA" game like destiny. The only thing that would keep my from this game is real life issues and I'm a man of commitment. When you say you're going to take up a job by god you better do your damn job to the fullest extent.
Right now he's still trying to find a game to go to and what a surprise, there's not much out there anymore.
P.S. Just saw your "list" and a lot of those are in the same exact threads being duplicated by quotes in said threads.
Really dude?

FW if done right could be the silver bullet as far as getting the eve players interested in Dust again. Believe it or not there are plenty of EVE pilots that dont even know about dropping orbitals for LP. When I tell the guys in militia chat they are like "WHOA WHAT THE **** REALLY!?"
It's a great opportunity to generate Loyalty points, especially for an EVE scrub like me who can't fight.

My posts put you in a negative light? These are your posts. For 3 years you call us idiots, and all of a sudden you're ready to listen to what we have say? Cross Atu listens to what we have to say; he's arguably the best community representative we've ever had. Find for me the posts where Cross can be found calling other players "idiots". Cross's post history perfectly mirrors his performance as CPM. If that pattern held true for you, what might we expect? Im Driving but 1 quick point. I've always come to the forums to talk. You thinking me not liking anybody wouldn't even lead to me not seeking feedback anyway.
Since you like digging up things find the post where I ask for help and feedback. You had a point with the anger problems but saying I dont acquire feedback and listen is a flat out lie.

FW always had a lot potential, and more than just a stepping stone for pc. With the speculation and signs around Legion being no more I would assume that (or if like to think) that this is a positive sign of DUSTs extended life span.
But even though they are staying with DUST my biggest concern is where its going. It can't survive on PS3 for long. It's going to have to evolve to another system. The "where" is what's got my hitting my lips.

My posts put you in a negative light? These are your posts. Have you taken a journalist Class because you have a sure knack for manipulating perspectives. Just be honest. I'm being honest. Clearly, you believe that the vast majority of us are idiots; you've said so dozens of times. I completely disagree with you on this point, but that's completely beside the point. Now it's your turn to be honest: In your best estimation ... 1. How could Rattati possibly balance a game which is being played by a bunch of idiots who are doing it wrong? 2. Could the idiots who are doing it wrong ever participate meaningfully in discussions on balance or mechanics? 3. Is it the primary function CPM to engage and represent the community or is it to help the community help itself? If elected to CPM ... 4. On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely would you be to involve us, the idiot community, in problem solving? 5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely would you be to encourage dialogue and debate among we idiots? 6. On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely would you be to solicit, listen to, and/or value our idiot feedback? One of the things that annoyed me most was lack of involvement from the CPM. While I understand a lot, A LOT. Of things were held under NDA. There was still much to be desired as far as communication goes. Even if its not about specific dust matters, simply interacting with us would have been a great morale booster.
Now, its pretty obvious I've been known to get ornery at times and literally everytime I lash out beck when I didn't keep myself in check. I dont think the vast majority are idiots contrary to my past angry spoutings but like I've said. I've been working on that and they've been getting fewer and lesser in frequency as well as severity.
If i honestly thought that deep down to the core I wouldn't go to the forums for feedback and even take any of it seriously. I wouldn't have scrapped ideas entirely based on forum feedback if I legitimately thought everybody is an idiot.
I've cooled down drastically in the past recent months which I recognized my hot temperament would be one of the major things I needed to work to to make myself appropriate for CPM.
Hell, that's Aeon Amadi would need to work on in order to be a great CPM and I think of him higher than I, we just both happen to be two extremely passionate lovers of this game that just get extremely heated when we become peeved.
But yeah, all in all. I'd be the most communicative and vocal CPM this game has ever seen. Even I I'm wrapped up in NDA I wont leave you guys alone for weeks at a time without so much of a "hows it going"

Though Minmatar Artillery interests me more. Phased Plasma Rounds, Titanium Discarding Sabot, Tremor and MUTHA ******* Quake ROUNDS! I mean hell the Dakka on that thing makes it naturally sexy even if it's form is ugly and rusted. It's mere concept is stimulating.When normal rounds simply won't cut it just make one round with the payload of two! On the topic of various ammunition rounds I still want a Mass Driver with Shotgun type rounds.
Finally we'd have a Minmatar shotgun

Aero - we're still working on a FW Proposal document, similar to the 2 previous proposals we showed on this forum. If you have ideas, I'm more than willing to listen :) Where to discuss? I have two separate documents myself, one from 2013 and one from just winter. Poked you via the Google ... or at least poked someone I think is you :) Check your notifications on GMail/Google+/Android phone/Android Tablet/various other places, and get back to me :) ???

I would expect my viewpoints and agendas, both past and present, to be inquired about and challenged. I would expect that any "bad behavior" in my past (fits, name-calling, irrational posting, etc) to be dug up and offered as a potential indicator for future behavior. I would expect to be thoroughly vetted. And if I were running for a position as a Community Representative, I would absolutely expect to be called out if I had ever referred to the Community as "idiots". Think before you post and you won't be called an idiot. Being a 'Representative' doesn't automatically assume you to be nice or hold people's hands and the community is not entitled niceness from a representative. They're there to get a job done, not to play the politician. I'd actually be -MORE- worried about a candidate that does play nice with everyone because they then cannot be objective. I want a candidate that is passionate and stands up for their beliefs with drive, stubborn drive if necessary. Feel free to vote for 'everyone's friend' if you want. We had that already and it didn't change anything. Representative absolutely means dealing with people, and personalities matter when it comes to dealing with people. We need representatives who can get the community involved while remaining focused on the issues. Candidates with histories of throwing tantrums, name-calling, browbeating, etc should be called out for their behavior as these behaviors stand in direct conflict with what we need in representatives. You, Appia, Sgt Kirk, me ... we are cut from the same cloth. We're as likely to attack the person as we are the issue. It is a part of our personality, and try as we may, it will not change. We would all make for sub-optimal Community Representatives.
Really, your the only person I have an issue with on the forums and 100% of the time it starts with you saying something that incredibly false about me which leads me to get angry. I've disproven everything else you have said but you've latched on to my temper and wont let go because that's literally the only thing you've said against me that holds any amount of truth to it.
I don't even have a problem with MINA anymore, the only person I actively go up against (not about game ideas) is you. Literally just you.
