Every time around this year i always get a sick feeling because there are always a large amount of people who slip into the CPM. They get in not because they are good at organization and communication or have any leadership quality. Not because they have any genuine quality that have been proven overtime in order to fill the responsibilities of the CPM. They get in because they are just competing with each other and trying to one up each other by saying nice words and trying to convince people that they are the right person for the CPM. They are the ones who are sweet talking the community in order to get in. They are the people who know how to wh*re themselves out in order to get the votes but they know nothing of expressing or understanding the people who vote them in.
The people we need in the CPM that are genuinely knowledgeable are both unconcerned with such piety pandering and are not even able to do it well enough to get elected. The people who we need in the CPM are the people who have been playing this game and actively involved in it for the past year, learning the in's and out's of the game and gaining true communication and organization skills by talking to the people in it, not the forum warriors the regular people who play the actual game and not worry about what is said on the forums. But instead majority of the candidates just come out of nowhere and post you should vote for me because of xy and z. But sadly majority of the people who would be an assets in the CPM who have a passion for the game itself are also not going to make it into the CPM because they are not interested in the politics of it.
Playing the game, making a difference, not just listening to what everyone else says but having a head on your shoulders and having an opinion of your own, these are the real qualities that would make a good CPM not posting on the forums every day and making sure you are able to flatter others. The CPM we need are right now playing the game, not here worrying about politics of getting elected. Majority of the current candidates are asking themselves one question "How do i get elected" when the people we need on the CPM are not really worried about that. They are currently involved in the game not in the politics.
I feel majority of the CPM that will get in as always are not the truly knowledgeable but the politically competitive. But the truly knowledgeable are not politically competitive enough to care about coming here and flattering the people in order to get onto the CPM.
The people who get elected will not make a difference, they will not push hard enough. Because they are here right now reading this thread wanting to know how to get elected, they are not out playing the game and talking to real players. But if they were out playing the game and talking to the players they won't be able to get elected because they are no longer dedicating their time to politics.
Feel free to analyze this, judge rhad the one who got majority of the votes last year by a large margin, made videos was very popular. Then all the sudden felt he should be on the CPM, then what did he do he went on a campaign to flatter people posting all the reasons he would make a good CPM. Before this i have never seen any sign of real responsibility for the position. He made videos and got people to like him, he is a flatter that's why he got on the CPM. He did not really demonstrate anything in his action that would making him a good CPM.
When voting for the CPM this year i suggest look at the action of the people and what they have been doing over the past year, not what they have posted on the forum in the last week. But as said earlier majority of the people we need on the CPM are not even going to be running for the CPM position, only a few are.

I also don't see why hanging out with your best buds in game, a very small cross section of the community, is somehow more than being involved in the forums which is exactly where the real communication should be happening with the potential to reach a larger cross section of players. The forums are here as a clear indicator of where players can get and discuss information. Whether they take advantage of that is up to them.
After all, why would we even be posting platforms and criticizing the CPM on the forums if it was better to hook up in a clique in game?
It's better to be independent of that and not so easily swayed by a small group of players in your specific circle of friends that you are trying to please.
The OP is contadictory. You want players who are going to care about the game, the big picture, yet hang with each other in game? I doubt a true consensus will come from oh say, the five guys from FA chumming in PC with five other guys from OH or some such leet corp of tryhards that just want to elect each other and push for better FOTM gear.
I'm sure there are people who will be here posting away on the forums getting peoples idea's. But i see people who post here that have not played the game in months but are just forum warriors. I never said for people to play within the same squad with the same people all the time. I have many chat channels where i squad up with different corporations, part of being in PC is meta game, more so the higher you go. You are constantly in contact with members of different corporations both friendly and rivals messages back and forth.
I am not saying people should be getting there idea's for a small group of players but when you are actually playing in a squad and talking openly within a friendly environment ideas are a lot more free flowing, not one forum discussion have i seen can even equate to the top 25 in-game discussion i have had about dust. Playing the game while talking about what the game needs, how the game is unique, what we like and dislike about the game can not be matched by keyboard warriors. When i talk to a CPM member i want them to be knowledgeable as i am about the subject, i want them to understand the game.
I have had hours long discussions about PC meta game, about the future of dust, about current state of dust on levels that can never be matched in a thread.
If you want people who are constantly on the forums and you feel that is the best way to learn what people really think about the game then i assure you at least have the CPM will be forum warriors so don't worry about it. I would just like to see a few get on who have passion for the game, not the forum and the prestige of the CPM tag.
