TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 2	Posted - 2015.07.15 17:36:00 - [1] - Quote Glad to see I'm not the only one speaking out against campaigners and lacking faith in a CPM to actually benefit the game, Viktor Hadah makes a great post about some of the flaws with peoples ideals as they look toward gaining that position and it is something the playerbase should give extra thought before we spend another year wondering if the CPM has any intention on managing anything other than discussion when we nned players who stirve to make content representing Dust514 to CCP Some may agree/disagree with encouraging votes but I barely know the mercs I'd suggest for CPM so I will just try to offer an unbiased opinion on those putting their names forward, hopefully this can be a constructive thread about who has what's needed and what they truly offer the playerbase in terms of hearing our views and adding content to Dust514. - If a candidate offers nothing but the sound of their own words they are a poor choice. - A level of diplomacy is required for CPM, but that should not discourage anyone, focus on the game should be 1st - Dust needs the communtiy to stive to make the content, the door between CCP/Players is the CPM, they should lead this From what I have seen (will update if potential candidates wish to state their intentions) - Solid Candidates. Cross - Sound logic, welcoming in opening discussions a good speaker for the CPM Kevall - Leading the most well known corp backing NPE, providing feedback of that is essential Talos - Good idea's reminds me of the old days when dreamers still lurked the forums, CCP need that creativity - Ones to consider Pokey - Another solid speaker and a good critic for both the community and CCP Breakin' Stuff - So many have claimed to try and be fixin' stuff I think it's time we tried something else Zaria - Experience at the end-game levels and amongst the best players in game From the names mentioned I would still like to see more community activity IN-GAME, but they are all worthy of it if they dedicate to the task at hand and increase content for all mercenaries on Dust514 an our immersion with EVE. To any I have left out, actions speak louder than words. We need CPM to be more than a talkshow for what could have been. My opinion means little in this, I am trying to communicate for those who play the game for what it is, and make the most of the content we have on offer. I'm happy to discuss this or add further explanations to my opinions. Good luck to those hopeful of a CPM seat, just remember to get off your ass once in a while . 07

I see activity from Cross+Talos often in battles, not so much from Pokey though he has good views and if he took on management of CPM could be a great asset. Mt main focus is gameplay activity and how CPM can benefit this.

This is not RL politics, I expect your boots to be as dirty as ours on the ground. So in regards to what I think a CPM should aim for, how will canidates provide this?

You would be a good diplomat dealing with CCP and have vast gameplay experience with knowledge of mechanics, and like I think and hope Pokey's main strength will be you will critic CCP where needed and in a manner they will listen to. Ideally speaking I think you'd be a good choice, but I am going on the basis of what I have seen or read while playing the game. Bamm Havoc has a good perspective on the game. and offers another opinion from most which I feel is important for a productive CPM, If he was active enough would be a good host for player events. But I have not seen much from him lately. In my perspective any candidate running for CPM should be focusing on the gameplay in Dust514, by being part of it, from publicly hosted FW, Ambushes even PC gaining experience with the players in game, obviously activity times can't always suit but if they cannot be active they are in no position to be providing current feedback from the community, not all members need to be active as much in game because ideallly gamers would be smart enough to vote the right mix of players

Please decide what is more important to you: talking about politics or us being good CPM candidates. They are voting CPM this month, and will be adding SKINs for the next 10+, many players have put forward idea's with Faction/Loyalty SKINs, but is a visual effect that we are set to get one way or another, deciding what candidates provide a good base for in game content is more important. I see no point in any player voting for someone who cannot provide that, Save his layouts and work on that theory, but if an open discussion on what candidates will actually DO for the game is possible I'd try keep that on track. How many voted the last CPM ?? that's the only reason you need to why we need CPM involved with the entire community

I was there when the idea of the game was announced. I supported the concept of the game. I wanted to play the game. I play the game. I like the game. I am concerned about the success of the game. I want the game to be playable by all rather than a select few. I don't think I need to jabber with my bros to improve said game. What more needs to be said? Good post, I fully agree with you we mostly keep our fantasy jibber jabber in Corp comms, I am strongly against a CPM where their main focus is sitting about chatting about Dust, I would like to see at least one member with as much mud on their boots as average Dust activity playing public/FW/PC and especially so they can attempt to reach out to the players not speaking up. You have the same view a lot of us did when Dust began, most are tired of holding onto hope It's why I am concerned with the CPM choices, as a squad leader thats exactly how I am looking at CPM build-up, if we don't get the right mix of roles into the CPM it cannot be as effective as possible for us , in-game and on here. Diplomats - Logistics - Veterans - New Players For traits I feel it should be built from, and the players involved share and divide responsibiltiy between themselves so some of them post more content, some of them play/create more content and those who handle CCP diplomacy with them. It should be most important that we mix the CPM panel so we get the required traits and hopefully a few members who setup to be behind the communtiy, not just in words but in actual gameplay content and interaction internationally.

Though weak, this could be a nice connection to the greater New Eden universe. I don't want to stop TheD1CK from banging on about politics and whatever else so let's take this to Skype. Ghost, you have a Skype name? Add me. Thank you, CPM candidate for adding something to the discussion at hand at not derailing it with something off topic that concerns only yourself and a fraction of the community, a skype chat is just whats needed so you can brainstorm ideas from yoursleves and have minimal community input Gameplay > Lore > Shiny dropsuits A new thread for that is welcome, but I busted your balls so this would not become 10 pages of.. 'OMG.. you are going to look soooo fabulous in FW tonight bae xxx' Gameplay quality and how CPM can be involed in creating content is what matters, I'm not caring for any politics.. it seems past CPM elections have focused to much on that and the actual players suffer while they have their chats about the game. By creating content I do not mean only crafting theories but actually branching out and being involved with the game.

Remember that candidate, Breakin Stuff, that is endorse? We discuss his proposals and ideas in Skype often before he tosses them out for the community to view. But spin that however you want The only guys endorsed here are the ones loud enough to be noticed, why should I (or any Dust gamer) need to search to find the candidates for representing the communitiy?? I won't, 100's of others will not so this post is biased towards those who make a consistent mark both in game and on the forums, CPM need to step up community interaction a LOT. It's nothing personal that I am being a d1ck about it, consider it a warm up for candidates because it is the exact behaviour they will be dealing with if elected, Community representetives should even care about what scrubs like me think I'm afraid.. And the guys endorsed by this living e-peen interect with players inside and outside of their groups so seem to make good choices, This post is a chance for CPM candidates to at least mention what mark they intend top leave on the game, I know none of them on a personal level, only by what I have seen from their actions within Dust514 - for PR purposes, I can add candidates prepared to give a reason why I should to the list. - One main skill I am hoping appears in CPM is someone making an effort with non-english speaking natives - Council of Planetary Management, if it means so much to apply for, show us how you will interact within the game

My answer is because no-one makes the effort for that interaction within Dust, I know several reasons why I can't blame mercs for that it's a lot of scrubs to get through to What should be the first requirement for a CPM that is representing the communtiy ?? My money is on, them actually having a clue who/what they represent.

My answer is because no-one makes the effort for that interaction within Dust, I know several reasons why I can't blame mercs for that it's a lot of scrubs to get through to Well, there are many people to talk to in-game, I'll grant you that. I'm only one man and I do have a full time job, but I like remaining accessible out of game so I can be reached. In game I'll squad up with anyone! Just send me a mail and we will figure out times. Abd I understand that, it's a big reason why candidates should really consider if they have the time for it all. The only way around it as I mentioned before, the CPM should be a suqad, providing various roles, not all need by in-game campaigners but without someone or more of the CPM dedicated to that, they are of no real use to the unspoken for players we have.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 2	Posted - 2015.07.16 14:22:00 - [17] - Quote TheD is here for your amusmement , and your reply sums up the main reasons I am questioning CPM candidates. I have played the game from clueless adjusted starter fit blueberry noob to half-competent adjusted FC noob, meeting a lot of players in between the majority of them being in the lower bracket of skill/SP ranking and I have gained good sense of fighting with+against Corps internationally seeing different outlooks on the game and how it is adapted to around the world... If it wasn't for the gametime it would steal and my terrible diplomacy skills I'd consider CPM myself.. instead I'll take the safe route and grill those that think they can really speak for the communtiy they are so keen to represent

Yes there is still uncertainty about who will run, but the ones working hardest for it are noticable. I updated OP to set Pokey as a solid candidate, I think most of Dust will be hoping he can be the critic that can beat some sense into CCP A lot of mercs thinking about CPM voting will browse this so feedbnack from candidates is very welcome

Yes, but unless I am mistaken she is a member of the NA and english speaking community, and that reply was more aimed at someone who can comunicate with the large non-english speaking Dust communities, along with ideally the smaller groups of non-english speakers being included, though we may need a CPM candidate that can communicate in 20+ languages

There is no real change they can bring about while CCP runs a skeleton crew with minimal resources. It's merely a play to keep the faith alive amongst the fan boys. CPM has no purpose in a DUST that CCP has all but abandoned. Exactly why I'm building walls of text in the hope this trend does not continue, Dust has all the activity it needs what is lacking is players that get behind communtiy driven events, who better to do that than those formailities that are communicating for us?? The majority of fanboys went chasing their destiny, Dust does have some loyal gamers left though, all the more reason CPM should reach out to them. Have we not learned sitting about crying for CCP to do something doesn't work?? if they can see a functioning community they are more likely to consider being involved. Reading posst like yours I'm sure some DEV's regret ever making a f2p gamer for whining kids, it is what you make of it, and you sir seem to be holding a piece of crap.

I just come here for the laughs. This forum never disappoints. Most fan boys who play this game daily simply don't even give other games a chance, they just pour their money into this and stay, killing the same noobs over and over with the same squads playing the same game modes using the same tactics for years on end.

I don't think so and results speak for themselves after last year Any remark I have made at 'content' is aimed at either the useful and welcoming discussions we see from Cross Atu and others, along with in-game content.. creating events or reaching out to the community you represent if you can make a video while doing this, that may get you a pat on the back, but I can't say it does anything for in-game content

Mina, the remark for mclovin is a troll, fight fire with fire if that's enough to gain him some votes then the voters deserve to be castrated so we don't fear them reproducing and inflicting us with stupid. On the otherhand 'Sgt Kirk' squad leader and organiser for a GalFW group, seeing as I am biased towards those I think will have an in-game impact, why note choose him? We need CPM who can deal with a room full of bloodhungry mercs and show us that we voted for Players, not just Speakers Delt.. if you're more worried about the weiner not liking you (I do btw) than posting some reasons you would make a good CPM maybe even that crazy ass option of adding something to the discussion at hand would work for you?? Most of Dust are aware you want to be CPM, you need to show what you will add to the table, how will you interact with the community??

This is why having more heads involved is always a good idea to get all angles. Anecdotal and observational evidence has its place as does realising that balance is not necessarily achieved with perfect symmetry It's important to remember that CCP Rattati is an Engineer, so he's -going- to focus on the numbers first. Exactly why I mentioned it - because putting like-minded alongside him (as in Pokey's example) misses the other aspects, as you and others have already pointed out in later posts re: how stuff feels. Instead of (or indeed as well as!) breaking down into small groups of like-minded and having isolated discussions, then rejoining to disagree with equivalent other groups, inclusive discussion involving all the types involved should achieve better results.

Mina, the remark for mclovin is a troll, fight fire with fire if that's enough to gain him some votes then the voters deserve to be castrated so we don't fear them reproducing and inflicting us with stupid. On the otherhand 'Sgt Kirk' squad leader and organiser for a GalFW group, seeing as I am biased towards those I think will have an in-game impact, why note choose him? We need CPM who can deal with a room full of bloodhungry mercs and show us that we voted for Players, not just Speakers Delt.. if you're more worried about the weiner not liking you (I do btw) than posting some reasons you would make a good CPM maybe even that crazy ass option of adding something to the discussion at hand would work for you?? Most of Dust are aware you want to be CPM, you need to show what you will add to the table, how will you interact with the community?? The Weiner comment was made in jest, to add to this conversation I will say I think the players in game really need to join the group chat in game that I made (CPM2 Candidates) and squad up and talk to the candidates themselves, in 'person' and really get to know them. I have always been a fan of 1 on 1 communication and larger communication between the community and myself so they get to know the real person. Also, still playing mfw? Havent squared in a while. That's one option having chats in-game, there should be channels dedicated to this, though many mercs like myself avoid having numerous chats active so they may not get much use. Getting the know the person is one option, but that person making the effort to know the community they represent should be more important (it's not like there are many left) so getting through them all can't be too much work. I game for all factions, the joy of leading an angry mob, anyone wanting to join for some games is welcome to hunt me down at 'DeadMansGame' chat channel, though my main focus in game is gaming with DMG. I am always happy to discuss Dust514 or get into some angry bar fights about it Trainwreck forum posting prof.5 Sorry I am too busy to come to the phone right now, I am actually playing the game.

On a tangent, opinions about people can be wrong, they are based in feeling not fact. Opinions are by definition fallible as they're not facts - you're allowed to have your world view and dislike things for whatever reasons but that doesn't prevent it from being wrong. There is a big difference between an opinion and an informed opinion. D1ck, being a good squadlead isn't something I'd consider all that important. Again, not trying to diminish or belittle him but if both Kirk and I were to run I'd vote for neither of us for mostly the same reasons, we'd probably be better than some, but not as good as many others. For dealing with CCP no, but if CPM had more in-game activity that could be an asset, either way being a squad lead, what is the first requirement there?? Knowing the in's and out's of the game and managing players.. I think that could be of some use to CPM, and until you do post your stuff it does seem like you are trying to diminish and belittle him tbqh Trainwreck forum posting prof.5 Sorry I am too busy to come to the phone right now, I am actually playing the game.
