I will translate from CPM-SPEEK to normal English for you all.

"You guys wanted us to be more vocal, but we've already said everything we can, so we are just going to be random as **** so you can't ***** about the CPM being silent anymore."

:,(

You were said to bring balance to the game, not leave it in darkness

You have betrayed us CPM

We wanted you to do a very simple thing, because we thought you would remember how it feels to be left in the dark.
Seems being with CCP makes you just like those blue tags.

To the community: We should just ignore these trolls, and just go with the current, and wait until CCP makes their announcement, so they can finally realize that no one cares anymore.

All i wish for, is a quafe forge bpo, and now with dual quafe heavy junk insertion; you can too! With updated quafe and supreme hint at heavy cake eating tournaments, this superb innovation by the lovely Ru, brings enjoyment to all you miserable fucks!

Now, with every encounter of the dual quafe heavy insertion mechanic, you get a wonderbroom for the lovely price of 200 AUR. The wonderbroom, another innovation by Ru, with an extra long handle so you can go **** yourself, and extra bristles so you can wipe away the shame!

Guaranteed enjoyment or a slap in the face.

What part of NDA do you not understand?

Community: CPM! Tell us what CCP is working on!

CPM: Hey CCP, can we tell them what you're working on without you sending the lawers after us?

CCP: No.

That's basically how the conversation went. Are you saying you expect the CPM to break a legally binding agreement? I'm not entirely sure what you expected when they have the CPM gagged with the NDA. Like really, what do you expect?

The CPM is there to take player feedback and discussion and present it to CCP in a coherent way. It's not their job to tell us what CCP are up to. It's nice, but the NDA makes it impossible. It's up to CCP to comunicate to us.

That's the other point. It's not the CPMs role to be the voice of CCP. And as the CPM have said countless ******* times

"CCP is working on stuff. Be patient."

If that's not reassurance I'm not exactly sure what is. Christ. Hell we've had them on the Biomassed podcast countless times as well, where they have again, reiterated, CCP is working on stuff...be patient.

But by all means, feel free to disregard everything they've alread y said over and over. This **** is just like real world politic, people always find some way to be upset regardless of what reps do. "Thanks CPM..."

If you honestly think the CPM don't want to tell us everything they know, then you clearly don't know them nor have been listening to what they've been saying.

So yes, I will ignore what you're saying because you simple do not know what you're talking about.

OK. What exactly do you want them to say? And how does it differ from what they've already said?

They've basically said A before. Not in the same exact words likely because that phrasing is pushing NDA, but the general meaning is there.

On Biomassed a couple weeks ago Darth even said Rattati is quiet because he is extremely busy working on things. Even if play or don't play DUST right now, just pay attention to the forums and keep an eye out.

It's disgusting that the follow a legally binding agreement they signed? How dare they not violate a contract!

Again, CPM have said again and again that they constantly harass CCP to be more vocal or at least let them be more vocal. No dice.

I feel and believe that. The disgusting part is aimed at whomever in CCP makes the decision, not those who have agreed to follow it.

Well we agree then. It's BS what CCP is doing. I just get irritated really quickly when people start attacking the CPM because they're displeased with the situation and take it out on the people who are not responsible, simple forced to go along with it.

Im a principle guy. We dont get elected. By now id have bucked that NDA and lost my position. But then they dont allow felons to be on the CPM.

Well I can't fault anyone for following the agreement they signed.

This is the most encouraging thread I've seen out of the CPM in the last ~time~. Personally I don't expect or desire for them to be the voice of CCP or to say anything about the progress behind the curtains.

What I do expect out of them is to be involved in the community with their own personal memes, opinions, clarifying questions, and cat gifs. That's not breaking NDA, and that's not being unethical in the position. It's doing two very important things:

- Helping keep morale afloat.
- Letting players know that their representatives are actively listening to and clarifying their feedback in order to perform THEIR STATED FUNCTION of disseminating and representing the "voice of the community" to CCP.

Tell me step A isn't part of the job all you want, this is the body politic and lately CPM's PR is pretty shite. Those hoping for future votes may want to take heed.

Well we agree then. It's BS what CCP is doing. I just get irritated really quickly when people start attacking the CPM because they're displeased with the situation and take it out on the people who are not responsible, simple forced to go along with it.

What ever happen to the cpm feedback threads?
those were pretty neat.
