I noticed Darth had 13 weekly kills as of last night and was thinking it's up to us(the community) to check and see if those who promised so much are still even playing the game they represent. I know they have real lives and can't always be expected to play for 3-4 hours a day, but I think there needs to be a little bit of accountability and activity on their parts. So if you have them on your contacts feel free to post here so we can keep track of those representing our future in this game, this may be the last CPM we have and they could even influence whether this game is continued or continues to see updates and patches. But please be a little kind to them by not saying well it's thursday and 50% of the CPM has zero kills. I think checking on them on a monday or tuesday for weekly stats is a good gauge of activity and what matters is are they playing not if they inflate(or delfate) their k/d(in fact I would prefer they would be challenging themselves and not padding). I know if they are being watched they probably won't be out testing out new suits and vehicle configurations or running solo FWs vs. qsyncs(like good ol' Paulus does) to learn what the solo and new player experience is like, or even actively ringing for PC corps to get a fist hand look at the state of the games most unique and perhaps most important mode(if they contact me I would be glad invite them to Caps PC chat as long as it doesn't cause conflict, or tick off our leadership). Except for Darth they can contact me if they want too discuss the state of the game with someone who actually cares about DUST but doesn't care if CCP declares bankruptcy. Never forget the "Rougewedding" and keep playing this game for free and don't buy stupid stuff from the company that wanted too give up on you years ago. This is our game and we take it and make it ours, until the day the pull the plug and it's the CPMs job to be our voice to those who don't want to here the truth. Paulus for CPM 3................................................Thousand!!!
Activity as a CPM is certainly important but it is not the same as player activity. Aside from knowing how the game functions in game activity isn't directly applicable to the duties of a CPM. Forum activity matters more in that regard, and we can include other methods of community interaction in there as well (skype, blogs, Biomassed, e-mail, etc).
Aside from being aware of community input and ideas there is communicating with the Devs and responding to their requests et al. Meetings (mostly informal NDA'ed conversations throughout the week with CCP) are a large part of the time commitment involved in being a CPM.
In the end in game activity, while a decent measure of player activity (presuming that player has no alts ) is virtually useless when it comes to assessing CPM activity levels.
Personally I have run up 17 characters starting in closed beta across all races and roles and on my main alone I have over 100mill SP clocking in between 3-4k hours played. I'm much more likely to play either goofing off with friends or to test builds these days than "serious" play because after organizing matches for awhile I'm pretty burnt out on PC (though I have still been ringing very infrequently) during the last year.
Anyone is welcome to contact me if they have input to provide, both my CPM 1 and CPM 2 campaign platforms have my contact info, out of game e-mail is best due to the frequency and ease with which I can access it compared to other means, but all means will be read eventually.
Cheers, Cross
ps ~ just so we are crystal clear, as I said all throughout the campaign for CPM 2, in game activity has some relevance but even if you could accurately track it (you can't due to alts), in game activity while it holds some relevance is one of the minor aspects of being an effective CPM far overshadowed by being willing and able to communicate with the community and Devs, a lot of which is simply read, reading, and more reading (and the reading from the Devs is the NDA stuff).
CPM mail me your feedback and remember to have fun!
