I'm also a CPM candidate.

I have 230 million ISK, compared to the other candidates and most veteran players, I'm "poor". Do i train new players? No, wanna know why? Because I tried to but they all went inactive, so I gave up on it.

I don't protostomp, even though I have 98% of all my skills to level 5 I absolutely hate getting my a** handed to me by true protostompers, because I hate it being done to me, I refuse to do it myself. The only time I will ever go proto in a pub is if I'm fighting against well known mercenaries that have proto themselves and will give me a good fight. 98% of the time I run my APEX suit.

Do I honestly expect to get anyone to vote for me? No I dont, I'm not part of the Dust 514 inner circle like 99.99% of the CPM candidates are, i just put my name in there because it's quite high of a chance that dust won't be on console in the near future.

But more to the point, all the CPM do is listen to the community and tell CCP what is being said and they do the same for us, the CPM aren't in any power to make changes happen, they are merely a bridge of communication between CCP and the playerbase. But yes those who don't do PC don't have much of a shot since CPM primarily focus on PC since that in itself is the end game of dust and without it we would only have maybe 1-2300 players on at most instead of the 5000 we have monthly.

The CPM is not for random people nobody has ever heard of trying to make his own views reality nor is it veteran players or "rich" mercenaries bending dust to their will.
