Not to rain on your parade.
Please pay attention to the CPM0 meetings (if you're attending) most of the group is in agreement that an elected CPM is not needed at the moment for dust 514 and may detract from game development, we're not even out of beta yet.
While there is a CPM 0 in session now, they're still formulating how the whole debacle is going to play out.
Right now we're having the issue of voters and vote handling, unlike eve online we have free accounts here and CPM feels leaving the 'freebies' out is disenfranchising but in the end it may be the ugly necessity that only paying people could vote. |

also kain white papers are pointless from the outside looking in.

I can't help but take issue with this. In one month since open beta started, i have bought 2 merc packs and 2 starter packs. Which comes out to $60. Thats $11 short of an eve 6 month subscription, so lets say I paid for 5 months of EVE. In what world am i not entiteled to vote, beacuse dust is FTP? I am a paying customer, and therefore entitiled to a vote, i mean even if you buy $2 worth of AUR you are a paying customer. I think people don't understand that micro transaction systems make money. There are entire companies based off of micro transactions, and they are doing well. Secondly Dust is allready the majority. There are more active dust players than there are active eve players. Once CCP delivers a non-beta version those numbers will continue to increase, and eventually CCP will be making more money from Dust. So how can anyone justify not giving Dust players a vote. Especially since if we are part of the process more people will be inclined to spend money on a game, nay a universe where thier vote can effect change. -Delta
Its a tricky subject I know, every time its brought up it gets more and more convulted every time, its one of the reasons CPM 0 exists is to discuss issues like these and work things out.
I will try to compile up a good post about the voting systems talked so far and ask all you guys on the forums to pitch your own ideas as well.
feel free (and anyone else) to join as at #dustcpm, we're going though a slight identity crisis right now :D |

I dont hide in an self-serving-elitest-try-hard irc channel. Whats your claim to fame? Your rush to the forums to post what devs say in IRC. Other than that you are mentally challenged when it comes to dust. TL:DR ***** please
So you think the top 16 players of dust 514 should be the CPM?

Even if they dabble in dust. They are eve players, with EVE as the top priority. My point was dust will soon way overshadow eve, we are currently the majority and soon we will be the majority of CCP's profits. This is bad for EVE players, and anyone with a half a brain would do everything in thier power to keep CCP's attention on EVE. It would be foolish for CSM to make decisions in dusts favor, therefore should have no say in dust's development. While this is extremly pessimistic, we are in New Eden, if there wasn't coruption and self intrest, we would be on seaseme street .
This is one why I was arguing a separate council for dust 514, another topic I need to formalize and present.

I will say please anyone continue to argue, I am taking notes to share and feedback to discussions on. When I have the time I will get the forums more involved if I can on the issues subjects and topics the cpm is slowly burning though right now.
Until then you're more than welcome to join us at the http://www.coldfront.net/tiramisu/ and type /join #dustcsm All we ask here is to be reasonable and leave and oxymorn-ously leave inter-planetary politics at home.
while you're at it type in /join #dust514 for less serious mercenary business, help on the game play, and chance with the devs. |

Other than that you are mentally challenged when it comes to dust. TL:DR ***** please So you think the top 16 players of dust 514 should be the CPM? -I kill more than I die so that mostly makes me non-scrub at least - I test every suit/weapon/vehicle and module and feature, and scrape every map with a fine tooth comb every build. Unfortunately I do this on my main character despite knowing that its going to hurt me in the short run. - I am 6 year vet in eve and been just about everywhere there and done just about everything as well :D - Being the IRC speedbump is one of many things I do for this game need to look around and take notice. Also in a very odd way, you too are a CPM 0 member Everyone here is... The reason bad players shouldn't have a say is simple. They never believe its their own skill that determines the results. Instead they blame gear, skill bonuses, lack of sp, suits, gun, and all based on public play. It's never their fault they die. Go back all those months at the AR is OP threads and look at the names of those people. I did and they are suck ass players. What happened with the AR Nerf? It made the Elite players better and the average ones worse. If you have elite AR skill you can adapt and over come and in reality if was the average players that realied on the "OP" AR to be better. Also games like dust have to be balanced to the top not at the bottom. Another thing is the game needs to be balanced to and for corp battles. My reasoning is that going foward these matter, not pve or pub stomping. I don't care if tanks are OP in pub matches (ccp needs to stop making stupid small maps and there needs to be more infantry advantaged sockets) its how are they in corp battles. I can look at the top corps and players on leader boards (can't believe i said that) and you will see a lot of corp battle exp. More then that they have understanding of gear,tatics, and strats. If you are an average player I'm sorry but you don't test the game at it limits like the high player does. Should average players have say in pubs/pv3 sure because winning/losing doesn't effect the universe of new eden. Dust isn't a lobby shoot long term and losing will have consequences and the game needs to be tuned that way. I'm not a member of the cpm0 I am a member of the dust community (love me or hate me) and I dont self-segragate myself because I think I know better. While I have my ideas this game is way more important than my ego or those of the selfappointed few. If you have ideas bring them up there. Just look to CCP foxfour and the discussion that is occuring. Or you can go back and work on your meaningless white papers /thread
Sorry was busy reinventing the group we're now called the Community of Planetary Mercenaries.
I am not arguing about how to balance the game. pro players generally have a far better picture just that few of them are too nose down to see the issues on the bottom end. For example the Militia shotgun could warrant the question of why get a prototype level? However the CPM group is not focused on that, we use the forums for that, we use public #dust514 IRC channel for the more complex emotional things involving mostly game decisions such as having player corps as we do now.
CPM's goal is to form community and to give voice. Just right now we're having birther problems with the group, organization, how things are being handled and the sorts.
As the statement of you being a Dust 514 CSM member statement, that was from [CCP]Nullarbor talking about everyone as a whole, the IRC chanels, the Forums, even the youtube commenters, and twitterers and facebookers. Just the CPM is trying to tie all of that together in some form and fashion and prepare for the day that ccp announces official plans for a voted council.
BTW I may not test the game the same way you do, but I know every single super man jump spot on the Ashlands map.
Ultimately I would love to hear your ideas, and thoughts on issues the CPM faces that is slightly off the beaten path of the normal game development. CPM understands that the game is going to refine itself and make itself known its not working as intended and does not focus on doing something beaten to death by a dead horse (I know that's wrong but work with me) |

I want squad benefits, corp benefits, training benefits, and custom everything and I want it all right now! Find a way to feed my desire and we are done with Dust514 beta.
CPM, is the start of making this happen sooner.
The game developers are human they can only go so fast and so far in such a short time. |

Anyone who wants. The white papers are an awful mess becuase there seems to real solution in sight that covers all the issues which is why we're a little desperate for new ideas. After all if a new guy comes up not thinking its impossible he may have a suggestion that makes it possible.
While I see offical Dust CSM nominations being an easy hurdle to jump over. The voting process needs to be fair, hard to exploit, and represents everyone who wants to vote. The arugment for a seperate or combined council. Then managment of the council by the council and the concil's responsbility to all of us. Chances are that all the current drafters will probably never run for CPM in the future once its offical. |

CPM 1 should be an elected organization that acts a Dust 514 stakeholder representing the community.
CPM 1 should work with the CSM on Eve/Dust Interaction.
CPM 1 should represent F2P players that put sweat equity into the game, but don't necessarily put in money directly.
I will not being running for CPM 1, but I want to see it established.
So you do realize that there can't be an elected dust cpm from a psn stand point right? I have 11 psn/dust accounts myself and have no problem makeing 100s to just stuff a ballot box. yeah you could put an sp min in but I still have all 11 of them earning passive sp so a year from now they will have mroe then enough. sorry but i would rather stick to eve side csm and not elect players that don't know eve to have an effect on it. That and you are a scrub (is not biased by tags) Passive SP can be easily eliminated from the equation by subtracting the following: time since character creation date minus passive sp accrual). Time played is another bar you can use. I have paid for passive boosters on most accounts. So bullshit that idea that I dont get a vote with those accounts because they are mostly passive accounts. How is that fair against random scrubs that don't buy an aurum yet I do. If I pay I vote. **** all that other noise. Frankly if you dont pay to play this game your opinions and votes should mean ****. Maybe there should be a aurum purchased minimum instead of sp. Still just selfimportant circle jerk to me
Stop self jerking a bit then.
I am also against Kain's on the SP idea, its too easy to game out and it may illegtimize what could have been a valid voter one year may not be a valid voter the next year, after all FPS gamers will migrate to and from dust 514 during breaks between expansions or when the newest 'halogen call of warfare battlezone' game comes out. But at least we agree that it will remain a disagreement. |

Wow now. Self jerking is a part of all mens lives and something that should not be spoken ill of. Sorry as a jew nerd I have learned that sometimes its better to stay home, jerk it, and use the money saved to further my nerdtopia life style.
That said, I noticed you have offered an opinion in the forums regarding a proposed idea by kain regarding voting for cpm1. It wasn't so hard now was it? Matter of fact maybe you could go further and start a thread asking for the communities opinions on the matter.
I actually have no opinion on the cpm0 or anything discussed in this thread. I was just making stuff up to create a discussion. It's that easy and I think a lot of players would appreciate being involved.
Very well then Ill take that. As for the reason why I wait to post is to sort of create a discussion where sides have been collected laid out and fleshed out a bit and reasoned and then allow peers to review similar to a scholarly article but not that formal. The heaviest pretext however on the issue itself and lesser emphasis on solutions to make easier crowd sourcing.
When I bring up the issue Ill probably state my opinion in a separate post after some replies.
As for the CPM the reinvention is still going on so bleh lots of work and no progress... |

Get in IRC scrub. No. CCP already hates me for calling them out on their bullshit. Plus CCP FoxFour is my new bff in the forums.
He trolls us in the IRC channel too. |
