...alright i feel you, I didn't even wanna get named its cool

:(

There is creating content.. and there is making a mess. You may need to review your campaign plans xxx

I wish KAGEHOSHI would run. He's the only person I would vote for.

Give me 1 bad thing about my campaign....I promote 50 shades of love and i gave you an insight on the future of dust gameplay

I'm a bit confused how Pokey is not on the Solid Candidate list if Talos and Kevall are there.

I'm a bit confused how Pokey is not on the Solid Candidate list if Talos and Kevall are there.

I see activity from Cross+Talos+Kevall 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. My main focus is gameplay activity and how CPM can benefit this.

can you stop being a loser on the fourms 24/7 and go outside champ?

Between the forums and playing the game I dont go outside!


Hissssssss

My list of priorities for CPM. In order. They need to push these criteria

Balance and Performance

Planetary Conquest being profitable while encouraging fighting. Customization.

More FW LOYALTY benefits. Discounts in the store, free skins after reaching "X" rank (And can only be worn if on or above that rank. Let the officers show some swag), and most importantly a CHOOSE DEPLOYMENT feature. It's hard to synchronize with EVE pilots because we zoom all over FW space. Allowing us to delegate teams to certain areas would be great. Imagine: Having actual MILITIA's that cover certain area's. When you queue up to fight, you fight in THAT area, doing attack or defense. Members in that area get benefits based on % land held and friendly capsuleers get bonus %LP for dropping OB's there. It might get more EVE people interested in Dust FW.

NPE. Seriously, just make a scripted tutorial. Teach them how to take points, drop links, switch suits, etc. I could probably write out a half-decent script for a tutorial in less than a day. I actually might do that now. These guys need to actually learn how to PLAY the game, not just how to make fits.

QoL. Always last on the list. Smooth things over when the core is fixed.

Some italians would like to see me running for cpm, though i ve not a program and i am not appreciate on an international level

I'm saving this entire post, but the "FW LOYALTY" portion is very much what I want for FW. Your ideas are interesting and I'll hold on to them. What are your thoughts on a War Hero SKIN that can only be fitted if you have X standing level or above with the faction?

[I would adore a War Hero skin. I'd also name them uniquely for each faction. You would choose frame size when earning it, and the others can then be purchased for additional LP.

Warlord for the Minmatar. Pure white with Dark red splatter and emblems. Like Sev from Republic Commando (Who already looks like a Minmando)

Justicar for the Amarr. I'm not sure how they would want it. Probably Gold with Silver accents.

General for the Gallente. Ask Kirk, IDK.

Commander for the Caldari. I actually love their Digital Camo and Navy Looks. Probably go with a Blue and Grey Digital Camo with Gold accents on the emblems.

When you see these suits, you KNOW they're an FW Veteran, due to requiring 8 or High FW standing (Which is a lot of games. I managed to get to 8 after grinding through about 3 BPO's).

You get the drift. I've also always wanted the ability to change station locations if you get to rank 10. Get my Caldari ass in Minmatar territory, I've earned it.

Once we get an idea who is worth voting in we can decide what shiny suits they are wearing

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 need 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
Mclovin - A shoulder to cry on when you need it most, vote love
Sgt Kirk - A good squad lead and organiser could be an option for events (may need Caldari CPM to counter him)

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

Interesting thoughts.

What would you say about me, if I were to run?

I am literally getting feedback from a player and you are busting my balls. Please decide what is more important to you: talking about politics or us being good CPM candidates.

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.
