You, for reasons that suit you, keep insisting on DUST/EVE relation being the question of all questions. You even give us example of how is EVE represented in CSM by sectors like 0.0, WH, FW, etc. and treat DUST as one of these which should then take one or two places on the board, not caring for the fact that DUST, while shares same physical space, has (will have) its own gameplay in those mentioned sectors.
Also your personality is a bit problematic, as here comes notorious question 'Who are you?' Beside nice wishes and common places written in platform I am clueless (and I guess many other) on what and who you stand for. You forget that this game is young and we do not have 10 years old community with all developed social connections to easy track someone even if we never heard about him -- this also means that insisting on voting as a must for first few CPMs is not really necessary -- those who work most with and for community will come up and be part of it (even if it is un/semiofficial, it is good enough to communicate with the Shanghai team.)
CPM after all doesn't have to be simple replica of CSM.
Etc, etc. Lastly, after these three pages I can conclude your lack of 'ears' for the community and I would rather have none than such representative. Otherwise wish you all the best.
I'd like to know what 'reasons that suit me' you hold up there. I'm pushing for integration for the community. Do you want an active say in what happens to this game in an official capacity? The community, becasue it shares the same universe in Real Time, should be more integrated. These, while benefiting me (because I am also a part of the community) cannot be discounted as benefitting the entire community. More integration = more community staying power = better chance of game's survival and not dwindling to a few fanatical players (likely myself included) who deperately hang onto a game that the community abandoned because it was not 'included'.
"Who am I?" Well if you looked at my platform, previous posts, etc. You'd know what I stand for. By my replies in this very thread, you'd know what I stand for. I'm known to alot of people in-game, as well and some of the greater New Eden Community. I've co-hosted on Podside multiple times now, and love doing so. Discussing EVE, DUST and their Integration and CSM news.
Inclusion in the existing framework is one of many ways this game will survive. The self-appointed CPM is doing a great job of bringing gameplay issues to light, and I commend them, and continue to commend them for doing that. But it doesn't bring the two communities together. CCPs vision for DUST has always been One Universe // One War, and that includes one community, one voice. It's just two different ways of looking at, and interacting with this great universe we have.
