CPM
Council of Planetary Management.
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. |

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. |

The alternative being the honor system or using the one vote per IP system, I still favor MAC address as being the best way. The main reason being that say party A has a Dynamic IP address and votes at X time. Logs off. Gets his or her Dynamic IP reset by his or her ISP. Votes again. See that still sounds like a bad situation. One vote per PSN ID would amount to whoever can make the highest number of PSN IDs wins. Where would the fairness in that be?
A MAC address seems, to me, the best way sir. It is unique. If it means that much to someone that they feel they need to cheat the system and buy PS3s to do it then CCP has succeeded in creating one of the most popular games in the world and I am happy for them. I enjoy Dust, I hope everyone else playing enjoys it as much as myself and hate to think that those people would want to ruin a good thing like player representation by foolishly vote tampering.
Perhaps Playstation could help us in this by verifying that the PS3 IDs voting don't belong to the same named individual, considering they do, I believe have access to their records and the IDs when created ask for your name, address etc. it would be easy for them to single out who has voted twice or three times or once.
And using MAC address is fair on people like myself how?
My girlfriend lives with me. We have one PS3 between us. Two unique people, two unique PSN accounts, one IP address (although we can reset that) and one MAC address.
I know a group of friends who live in a 5-bedroom house and have 2 PS3s shared between all 7 of them.
A combination of IP address, account and activity should be looked at if there's reason to doubt the results of a vote. |

Luckily, we already have access to the posting history of all our internal candidates. We have vetted a number of candidates that were suggested to us and we have reviewed their forum posting history along with a number of other qualifications in order to be sure they live up to the standards we are setting for the beta War Council.
In other words, if any of your posts ever contained "HTFU", "scrub", "newberry", or "QQ", you are not WC material. 
Well that only rules out...
uhhhh...
...
Anyone left?
Any DEVS left?
Yeah. By those rules, we have no council. |

Even without multiple PSNs, you can be CEO of 3 Corps with only a single PSN account.
Charlie 'Chaplin' Pennock wrote:Criticizing is not helping. You in no way suggested an improved way of doing you only pointed out that it was flawed.
There's not a very fine line between a "flawed" idea and a "bad" one. Flawed ideas are good ideas that need tweaking. Bad ideas aren't worth trying to redeem, and a valid explanation for why something is a bad idea should be all that's needed. Your idea was a bad idea, and is therefore not open to being turned into a good idea.
Charlie 'Chaplin' Pennock wrote:If I had a fool proof system I would've typed up ten pages explaining it in detail.
When you come up with an idea that needs 10 pages of explanation for someone to understand it, you should probably hold off until you have a TL;DR version.
Charlie 'Chaplin' Pennock wrote:I am sorry I'm not a regular on the forums but I'm trying to help how I can.
And when you suggest something which can't help, people are trying to help you by explaining that your idea quite simply doesn't work. |

Katariss Katalyst wrote:So then since all my ideas can either be spoofed, or have many accounts, I have come up with one that could actually work...
This is the Idea:
That in order for the person to vote, they need to have a certain amount of skill points (sorry noobs) like 500,000 or something. Because it would allow for players to vote. (people are not going to waste points getting lots of skill points on multiple accounts for one vote.)
Please, if this idea can be improved, please state that improvement below...
500,000 SP wouldn't work.
That's the baseline level with which all characters start.
Also, a new player who's wanting to be active would be denied a voice under this system, while someone who's been afking across 3 accounts per PS3 on 2 consoles would have at least 6 votes easily (even if you're limited to one vote per account instead of per character). |
