DUST Search - CPM1 unoffical petition

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.

Other issues, to CPM or not to CPM. CCP has an elected council already, majority of the CPM is currently leaning towards a separate council to focus on our game issues and community feel. Then once seated an ambassador exchange is made between the CPM and CSM, one seat will be swapped and a CPM member will attend all CSM functions including the flight to Iceland. While the CSM ambassador sits and performs the similar functions to the CPM member and possibly fly to shanghai if that ever becomes a thing to do.

Then of course how the council is going to self govern, this is known as the white papers. So far CPM is mostly copy pasting CSM's own with some tweaks.

Next few issues and meetings the CPM is going to have is involving things like nominee process... Election Process and the sorts.

Once all wrapped up, hammered out, and refined a bit, then its going to get presented to you guys and then CCP to hopefully be the start of official frame work.

We have before us an opportunity to provide a voice that speaks the true concerns of the community and dropsuit you are & embody. Leadership and diplomacy are some of our weapons and change for the better is what we are shooting for. With this set of words, I petition to you and CCP, the establishment of CPM1 (Council of Planetary Management 1). The establishment of official representation for Dust514 players, from the community, for the Dust legion. Our concerns for developed & refined game play, depth, access, and community unity are needed and must be held high in our charter. Our millions of voices need a means to ensure the concerns of us all are addressed and delivered properly to the development body of Dust514 at CCP. Post and support this unofficial petition, if you would like to assist in moving this idea forward. If you would like to run for office, please post it here, and include a platform or reason for being part of this council. Thank you for reading this message. Carry on.

Many thanks! And good to hear, of CPM0. Can you post a link here to publish access to that development? I would enjoy deeply to contribute to this cause and movement.

Well spoken, well said, good point. We need to formulate the correct question for CCP to address. This issue of player represented council is important. Some voices suggest it is premature. Although, would Eve Online developed better with council in place sooner? I would like to think so. CCP will benefit from having a council to bounce development plans off of here and now. With Dust514 in beta, the feedback is a vital tool for efficient game development. I would hope a CPM in place now could help prioritize the issues and contribute to the development process. For example: I Just want to see an in-game bug report button. It would provide a marker for programmers to evaluate and improve those parts of the game. CCP, is this in work? How are you addressing such issues?

Exploration, symbiotic connection to another platform and with depth so deep you can't help but sweat from antisipaton. I want a new player of every kind to enjoy something in this game so they want to come back curious and wanting more. 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.

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. I'm a programmer too, and I completely understand. I'm just excited to see this develop and progress, and as a player and end user I want to help. I believe as things develop and evolve, having a CPM in place will move things along with a bit more consideration and validation applied for a superior product as the final result. I would like to see the CPM0 as a separate entity to Eve Online CSM8, this year. But, how to vote? Right? Yeah.
