How do you define the qualifications to represent the 'Console' FPS community comparative to the PC FPS Community, or the Console MMO Community, or the EVE / DUST Community?

My 'qualifications' are that 1) I'm here, I'm learning the game inside and out, talking to people, asking their opinions, and in addition to that, I've played EVE Online for over 5 years, I've represented parts of my own local community in gaming, and I'm experienced at leading Corporations in EVE, and I've brought that to DUST 514 with the creation of the Southern Legion.

Specificalliy to FPS, I've played many Console FPS Games, from CoD, Battlefield, and so many. Even flirted with Halo.

Above all, I'm willing to represent the community of DUST 514, EVE Online, (DUST coming first in my eyes) and take policy to the CSM that will bring DUST 514 into equal footing with EVE Online both in representation, and in the eyes of Gamers.

The point is I don't believe you even understand the problems of the people you want to represent and you want a trip out of Iceland so you can feel like a big boy.

You had to create an alt to run which means you are not proud of who you were in console FPS or alternately. You were just unknown and not active in those communities. If there is a csm rep for dust eventually, it sounds like there would be much better candidates with a longer resume of experience, qualifications. And console FPS cummunity interaction.

If you had been an active member if console FPS community, the. You would understand that our concerns are different from a pc FPS player for many reasons.

This is not what you want to hear but swearing to learn dust and be part if dust does not make you a serious contender for representation bc anyone who is playing the game has those qualifications. You simply just don't bring anything to the table exept for long winded posts and the ability to sign your forum posts (which makes you look strange)

I vote no for whoever this guy is.

I can tell you if they were actually an Aussie. Because if you ask almost anyone from our servers, they know who Jackal is.

I want someone who has experience in console FPS to represent my voice. Did you even read the OP? Or any of Jackal's posts? He plays Dust 514 as well as EVE and many other people do the same. If you stopped someone from being Dust's CSM just because they play EVE as well, then you would eliminate a fair few guys. Also, how do you know that Jackal has no FPS experience? Another thing- The Black Jackal has stated several times in this thread that he wants Dust 514 players to be equal with EVE players. He doesn't want people that don't play this game bringing ideas to CCP, as they may not. Choose the best ones that we want implemented. Having someone that plays EVE as well as Dust is actually an advantage, as they can see the argument from both sides and will be more likely to come up with balanced solutions rather than one game dominating the other. Also just to clarify, The Black Jackal is not running in an election to be a leader. If he is elected his job it is not to tell you what to do. In actual fact he will be listening to you guys, taking your ideas and suggestions, bringing them to CCP and making sure they are heard and not buried by QQ threads that contribute nothing to this game Also sorry if this thread seems a bit jumbled and out of order as I was tired when I wrote this.

This in and of itself disqualifies you in my book. If you are not active on the forums, how are you supposed to understand the issues? What is an issue for you may not be an issue for everyone else, and vice versa. By that he meant he doesn't post very often, but he still reads the forums.

If we don't see someone posting on the forums, we cannot be for certain that they are reading them. I don't care how many people from SL come to his defense either. He is not an active member of the community if he does not post. He is just watcher, not a contributor. Stop changing your story. First you said he doesn't read the forums, so he can't understand the issues (which is wrong) and I told you he did, so he does know the issues. Now you saying that you don't want him as CSM because he doesn't post in them. Posting doesn't mean active. You also said that he's a watcher not a contributer. Not much actually gets changed by CCP. I've seen hundreds of good ideas that CCP don't even acknowledge- they only change things that people repeatedly make dozens of QQ threads about and that's not a good quality to have in a CSM candidate is it? Besides his job isn't necessarily to come up with ideas, his job is to make sure CCP know about the ideas that everyone else has.

You Mad Bro? Hmmmm fail troll is fail. 1/10 for the attempt, it was a nice try and with practice you may move past copying the work of others. Jackal has made at least 5-6 calm posts trying to explain to you guys and yet people keep saying the same things and talk about things they have no knowledge of. I'll admit, I don't play EVE but at least I do my research. Please be quiet until you do yours. Also which part of it came off as angry to you? The CAPS? They were used to put emphasis on words. I EAT cakes I eat CAKES. See how they read differently and mean slightly different things? I didn't see him swearing, apart from crap, which I don't even consider a curse.

I'm done, good luck, good ridance Actually plenty of people on other pages have supported this, but apparently you lack the ability to look at anything (including what CSM members do) or do anything useful. The reason only TSL members are arguing with you (apart from knightshade who was just pointing out obvious things) is because most other people can't be bothered with repetitive people like you. Tata, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

If someone is in this beta then they MUST have played at least 1 fps (this one) and many people have played FPS's in their lives. I don't understand why people are assuming that he's an EVE only player. In fact some people have been assuming a lot of things in this thread, without actually asking.

Not to sound like a ****, but who are you again? EDIT: also what's this talk about Iceland, alts and console fps communities? I don't think we're not he same page here....... I know this isn't what you want to hear but you simply just don't bring anything to the table but stupid, irrelevant posts and the ability to make several hundred typos ( which makes you look strange) Sorry if this post offends you but I really don't think you understand.
