Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2013.02.13 05:57:00 - [1] - Quote I know the Southern Legion. I still do not know the Black Jackal. One thing that bothers me immensely is a clear platform of personal ideas, not a representative of the community. You want to dabble in supercaps, EVE disenfranchisement, nullsec, highsec, faction warfare and nebulous "more". Your answer for nearly everything is more content when EVE is already littered with content that needs reworked first. More capitals, more ships, more missions, more everything, but no clear description of how A) putting you on the CSM would achieve those goals, and B) how the things you suggest would even improve the game. Some of your suggestions are downright terrible, such as allowing supercapitals to dock just to make them targets for DUST mercs to steal. You reply to every post in your candidacy threads but otherwise are mute on all public channels. What have you done for the community lately? Which ideas have you supported that were not your own? What content have you already added to DUST given the tools we have now? What do you do in EVE? What do you do in DUST? Where do you get information on parts of the games unfamiliar to you? Who do you want to vote for you? Who would NOT have their needs addressed by voting for you? How would you define success and failure should you receive a CSM seat? So many unanswered questions. Please at least try to convince me you are taking this seriously.

I don't really need a copy paste of ideas that have been popular for years, I'm interested in what you are bringing to the table. Wait. First you say that my 'ideas' are blatantly self-serving, that they are not what the community wants. Now you say that I copied and pasted these 'popular' ideas into my platform? Please. Make up your mind. The fact of the matter is, that I believe each and every Idea I have in my platform will have a positive impact on the EVE - DUST link. Stimulating economy in EVE by increasing warfare, making mission running less repetitive, adding a 'semi-single player' experience to DUST (besides Swarm Modes) that can also be helpful in training your DUST Soldiers. Rewards for supporting actions from capsuleers to DUST mercs, making them WANT to support us. Loyalty points for DUST. Yes! Popular idea for years? No. The concept has existed in EVE for years, so yes, it's an idea I want to take for DUST. Applying it to 'Army-issue' Gear rather than Navy-issue. Putting it as the sole reward for Faction Warfare Battles, reducing the impact that could be achieved by 'exploiting' Faction Battles yet still rewarding the players For taking part. Did you just take an idea that Beers and I have already put proposals on CCP Dev's desks as something you came up with and will make happen? You need to stop throwing out promises and start actually explaining everything. The conclusion that all your changes are pure positive is already a troubling sign that you have not thought through the full consequences of even small changes. So my position is unchanged. If you want me to start taking you seriously, you have to seriously break down your entire platform and defend it to the minutia.

Drop that portion of your platform or continue to be embarrassed. (I have lived and fought in null, just a fan of small operations). You don't even understand how to defend the one good idea you jimmied into your announcement, which is delayed local. Your good ideas for faction warfare are all cribbed apologetically and, more insultingly, without credit to their proponents. Loyalty points in DUST? I'm sorry but you're months too late to pretend that is something YOU would represent adding to the game. Most damning of course is your answer to every issue is add more content. Something you as a CSM have no power to promise. New content in a game as richly developed as EVE, should not be a priority. Repairing all the content that was introduced but never polished should be.

Repairing all the content that was introduced but never polished should be. New content is not my only answer to everything, but the fact is New Role System? Tweak or New Content? Modular PoS Design? Tweak or New Content? Tiericide (roles for ships)? Is this a tweak? Or New Content? Many would argue these drastic changes of mechanics are still 'new content' redesigning the game they know. These are not my ideas. Not even a part of my platform (despite actually supporting them) but candidates run on these. And these changes have been asked for for years. I highly doubt that each one was individually imagined or posted in the begining by the candidates that are representing their views on them now. Loyalty points for DUST may not be a new idea, and in all honesty, did I ever actually say it was MY idea? No... It's part of my platform. Something I support. I don't see another candidate running with a completely unique platform... even the CREST and Wormhole Candidates are running with discussed platforms. You also don't know if I didn't discuss lp for dust amongst others during closed beta... You didn't even recall that I was once Jaxx Blake ( a fact I have actually said in some previous threads) and fought alongside you, Chao Wolf, Iron Wolf Saber, and so many others. Even saved your damn tank from swarm and forge gunners during Replication. And took out one of the 'Security Points' on that first stage of the two stage map from your top turrt, when you got your tank on the invisible walls along the right side of the map. The Black Jackal name was then an alt, one I always intended to adopt as my main. You have to understand something important about my role in this thread. I don't have any problem with you personally. I am just challenging you because I have high expectations of a CSM. Ultimately, you do not have the right skillset to be CSM material. I understand the desire, I too would love to have a seat of such privilege because I believe I could do good for the community. But ultimately, I must be honest with myself and admit I don't have the right level of experience and clout to run. You can not bully ahead your way into receiving votes. I don't even know what your new role system point is, but modular POS and tiericide are decidedly iterations on existing content instead of "new, more shiney". I would love to have a DUST CSM, but it would have to be one that respects the community and contributes to all of it, not collects ideas without credit and shows no level of humility.
Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2013.02.17 23:42:00 - [7] - Quote The Black Jackal wrote: This also includes an idea (if it's been posted before I apologise) of a 'Free' Taskforce Voice Channel for Corporation Battles only. Allowing EVE-Players in Orbit to communicate via voice comms with the soldiers on the ground without the inconvenience of a UVT. Making Orbital Strikes easier. How on earth are you not aware of Kain Spero's efforts with the DUST OB channels? He's not demanding a seat to get it done, he's already doing it. UVT was described as a necessary evil that no one likes but as a cost mitigation protection policy for CCP. You cannot say your platform is removing UVT, that's just asinine, dishonest, or ignorant. However the communication channels between DUST mercs and EVE pilots are being nurtured and promoted by people who actually are good community organizers and representatives. You have responded, but far from satisfied. And you are just getting worse as you platform expands haphazardly absorbing good ideas and bad ideas, all uncredited and without working with their chief proponents on why the proposed changes are necessary and the potential pitfalls of implementation. Worse, you don't even seem to be self-aware enough to realize this is what you are doing, nor who those key community leaders are. DUST badly needs proponents. You are not suited for a CSM seat, so find another way if you truly are after game success, not merely personal glory.

Whelp we do need a CSM, one that would benefit us all. We need ot have a voice spoken for the mercs. Obviously not everyone is going to be able to agree on one person, however we do need one. I think it should be put to a poular vote. If there were multiple candidates running for the CSM, I discussed this with a few people (including some of the hosts of Podside (a podcast on which I occasionally guest), and should there be multiple candidates who want to put themselves on the line for running for a position on the CSM for DUST 514, I would gladly call a 'Primary' Vote. Whereby everyone who has a vote (unfortunetly only people with EVE Accounts at this stage) would do an informal 'vote' for a candidate of their choice. Whomever was elected from those would stand for CSM, and everyone's vote would go to them to ensure we get our best chance to have a representative on the CSM. As I have shown with my campaign so far, EVE Players ARE open to the idea, some have even encouraged candidates to step up. I have pushed for this position, and now I am starting to work with others on the CPM about improving DUST 514's outlook to competetive gaming groups, as well as getting involved in oprganizing some of Kain's excellent OB Events (discussions still in the works). I have come to admit, that sometimes I can be as stubborn as most, and I still stand by my conviction that a CSM representative is needed for the future of this game. And I believe that my passion for this game, and knowledge of both this game, and EVE Online gives me a good chance to gain us representation on the CSM. I already have an EVE-side Voter Bloc or two on my side, and hopefully, them, combined with any support we can muster from DUST-side, we can be represented. If that is the only thing I achieve from running for CSM, that we get a representative for this game, and become a true part of New Eden, I'll be happy. Of course, I'd like to do more, but that will be up to your support, and your votes. Actions should proceed words. You don't need any votes to do more right now. Maybe after you've done something for the community we can judge if you are fit for CSM. The best of a field of one does not mean seating you would be a good choice. There is a reason more qualified people have not stepped up, and that is because it is premature.

I'm not worried you'll check up on them. I gave them my word that I wouldn't release their details. Why? Because supporting DUST, or radical reforms is tantamount to influential suicide. Imagine if the leader of a large alliance wanted to actually weaken his own alliance? Would he be in power, or have an alliance much longer? I wont be the cause of people falling from their positions of power (through politics anyway), and I will keep my word to let them remain anonymous. We will see the impact (or non-impact) of their support when it comes to election time. As to the impact you had on Zion Shad. He stopped his campaign for his won reasons, and putting yourself forward as THE reason he stopped is grossly arrogant and self-serving. Regardless, he stopped running, and as far as I am aware, has been less active due to a hectic work schedule or something akin to that. If your supporters aren't willing to support you publicly, you don't see the problem with your voter base?

And thats not everyone involved. And so far Kain, jenza, and Sha Kharn Clone have weighed in only minimally on this candidate. Even then, I speak to Kain regularly, he may not support all my ideas, but even he sees that I have the community's best interests at heart. The only thing that differs is the way we want that support to occur I'm just going to clarify that in no way does Kain endorse your candidacy. You being the only candidate with a DUST focus yet so out of touch with the needs of the community is why he almost ran. Personally I wish he would reconsider, but he is adamant that the time is too soon and he doesn't want distractions from his ability to organize community events. At best, he told you that he supports any effort to improve CCP/DUST Community relations. How much of your other cited support is half-truths?
