CCP Dolan C C P C C P Alliance 1	Posted - 2013.03.18 15:03:00 - [1] - Quote Greetings DUST 514 Community, For those of you that don't know me, I'm CCP Dolan, and I run the EVE Online Council of Stellar Management (CSM). We at CCP have been looking into creating a similar group for DUST 514. We came to the conclusion that the best group of people to help design the future of this player run organization, which we have yet to officially name, was the players themselves. I have asked the DUST 514 Development and Community Teams to submit to me a list of some of the most helpful, active, and knowledgeable community members. Representatives from the DUST 514 teams and I will be sitting down and interviewing these candidates to try and identify the best fits for what we will be tentatively calling the DUST 514 War Council (until we come up with a permanent name). We will then be looking at all of these interviews and selecting a council to make up the very first beta version of the War Council. This appointed council will work closely with us in establishing a voting system, working with teams regarding upcoming features, and generally serving a similar role to the EVE Online CSM. As this is a beta version of the council, we ask the community as a whole to be tolerant with any growing pains that the council will no doubt experience. More details about term length, possible summits, council size, etc. will be announced soon. We hope that both the CSM and the War Council can work together towards making the EVE Universe the best it possibly can be. Please feel free to ask any questions or provide feedback in this thread.

We had some difficulty trying to decide how voting would work in a free-to-play game, where you can have unlimited accounts. We will be working with the War Council and the community to try and shape what elections will look like in the future.

So I find it a great idea that you guys are going to give DUST their own group right off the bat. Will the CSM and the War Council eventually meet together? I would like to feel confident that both groups will interact heavily in ensuring the game heads in a direction that is as conjoined together as I want to see it in the future. The EVE Online Council of Stellar Management is excited to work with the War Council and will be included in their communication channels with CCP. Working together towards the future of the EVE Universe is everyone's goal.

While the exact details of operation are something we are looking to figure out with the Beta of a War Council, if the CSM is any indication of how the War Council will operate then there will be almost no voting involved at all. The CSM in their year long term only ever voted to pick their officers. The War Council, like the CSM, will likely act as an advisory group to development teams. They highlight issues and problems that teams may have overlooked. Teams would come to them with features and changes and say "What have we missed?" or "How would you potentially break this?".

Just a (really obvious) possibility. Clear similarity and difference from CSM, and still easily typed. It's also a good way to describe what the difference is between DUST Mercs and EVE Capsuleers in New Eden. They claim the stars, we have the planets. Name already is being used. CaptainAwesome, me and a few others have already been discussing this. CaptainAwesome has set up a site here. There is also a Google Docs set for goals here I was seriously considering searching before making the suggestion. Now I wish I had. Council for Mercenary Management? Again, simple, but seems logical enough. We've had just as much back and forth debate on what the name should be internally. War Council is very much just one of a number of names that have been suggested, but I didn't want to delay this any further just to debate a name.

I.E. It's too late to be considered for interview for the WC? Yes, we didn't want there to be a whole lot of politics surrounding this beta selection. We will however, likely have the full blown political campaigns seen in the EVE CSM upon the election of the first Full-Term Council.

You would need some means of validating a players identity to avoid all the alts. Perhaps IP address can be used in the first sweep so you can clear all those with only one account and they are the only player in that household. Next stage is checking those who failed the initial IP address check for legitimate reasons e.g. Other members of the family play the game. For them you could look at activity, if card payments have been made etc Whatever you do it is gonna be tough. However, once you have determined your criteria I think that those players you have determined as eligible to vote should be issued a unique number which they enter into the computer to vote. I also think that the future voting system should be integrated into the game I.e a new tab that is active for votes like the War Council but could be used for other things internal to each corp. We will almost certainly have a full thread and feedback section when it comes to setting up full elections. There are such a myriad of ways for it to occur, each with it's own positives and negatives, that it's gonna take quite some time to find the fairest solution.

Tomorrow, I will send an eve-mail to all those who have not responded to ensure that their registered e-mail address is still actively monitored.

Or to ask for the ability to resell useless gear n weapons? This is not really the thread to discuss changes to the game. There will be chances to talk to the eventual council, once they are announced. I would suggest Feedback/Requests for now.

Pick more form the community or just run without them? I'll just continue without them. I will do all I can to get in contact with everyone on my list, but I easily have enough people to form a War Council.
