DUST Search - I will NOT be running as a dust CSM (this year)

Hi all,

First off before I start, I'd like to thank many of the people who have expressed interest in supporting me as a dust CSM member in the last year that I first announced it. I was honestly quite staggered by all of the support and messages that I received and a special thanks to current CSM member Hans for all of the advice he has given me.

My decision mainly comes from 3 main reasons:

1) I personally don't think dust is ready for a CSM position as it stands, partially because we are still in beta and we don't yet know everything that will be coming on official launch. Its my personal opinion that we should possibly let CCP get a product out there and work on testing before we start, that way we will have a baseline to work from

2) The EVE - dust connection is still very thin right now, as such the EVE players have very little concern for dust bunnies as there are already issues in EVE that need to be worked on and seeing as its EVE players who can vote, its only natural that CSM candidates reprisenting their issues will be their first priority. Im sure this will change when the connection gets deeper and more integrated.

3) Right now, I'm having some quite serious problems in my personal life that have been cutting into the time that i have to play dust entirely, and sadly these problems don't seem like they will be solved particularly soon. I love dust and if I where to go for this position, I would want to give it everything I can which right now I simply can't. I started trying to help in little ways (forum warrioring, creating the wiki, spending a bit of time here and there in various locals helping out newbs) but right now I can't really do any of that what with RL problems and also planning on emigrating to another country.

Next year however things will be very different. Dust will certainly be different and hopefully my life will be in a position where i will have the time to give this role everything it deserves.

I will be at fanfest, so if anyone else who is going wants to chat about anything or even just get a drink, I'd be happy to do so.

Regards,

Jenza

CEO of BetaMax.

Awwwwh, what's the matter - mad that your potential representative wasn't beta testing since day one and playing Eve Online before that?

Everything you do from the wiki work right on down the line is for your own self-glorification. Dude you just described every CSM member ever.
