CPM: Council of Planetary Mercenaries
DCU: Drop-Clone's Union.
PMG: Planetary Mercenary Guild
Very very interested in this. I have always been impressed by the CSM. Especially how they have often taken the concerns of Eve players to CCP and come back with "I can't go into details due to the NDA, but chill, they've got this under control" or "CCP is going to change a few things based on your concerns"
CCP has also done a good job balancing the desires of the players against their own long-term strategies. They've been careful to listen and talk to the CSM without sacrificing control over their own IP, giving the CSM a strong voice, but reserving veto for themselves. While this has occasionally let to problems (the Jita riots, for example), on the whole, I think it's a good thing.
By doing the same thing with the dust community, they will allow players that we trust (relatively, of course. This is New Eden after all) to take our concerns to CCP, peek behind the NDA curtain, and come back and let us know if THEY think CCP is on track.
Looking forward to it! |

To all those who have already been selected (whether you know it or not), congratulations! We're behind you! (in a good way, not with a nova knife or anything  )
Seriously, I'm very jealous of this first WC and its free trip to Fanfest (the timing can't be a coincidence. You'll have earned it. Deciding how are representational democratic body will work with a free-to-play, sign up as often as you want, virtually-central, globally distributed voting body is going to be a big, sweaty, cold-pizza-in-a-conference room kind of job.
Actually, now that I think about it, you should outsource it to the Goons. The security system that they've implemented just to get on their voice chat system should easily be able to handle sorting out individual players. I think that the current "record a sample of your voice for the polygraph and hold up your thumb to the webcam for a fingerprint" system should do it.  |

Hence the reason I didn't reference the real (and much, much more paranoid) authentication system. |

Darn. No email. Congrats to those selected! |

I think my son might of had an idea with merit:
"Why not just only allow PSN accounts that have actually logged into Dust and played some matches in the last few weeks to vote? That should weed out almost all of the dummy accounts."
Food for thought.
I love the amount of passion in this thread. It shows that this game already has the rabid fanbase CCP games are famous for, and that Internet Space-marines are serious business, even at this early stage. I personally am not worried: The WC is all about credibility with the player base. Without that, it's useless, both to us and to CCP. If CCP has picked a group without the credibility necessary, we'll let them know, and then ignore the WC until a new one is selected. |

Quote:All that means is that you have to sink a couple of hours if that into each account, it wouldn't change anything,
Keep in mind that the CSM in Eve is voted on by active account (I think), which means that some people get more votes than others. If you have paid for, or if you play well enough to earn the plexes for, multiple accounts, you get multiple votes. CCP is ok with that. I think what they're worried about is some group spam-botting the new PSN account screen and generating hundreds or thousands of accounts in order to skew the election results. But if you've taken the time to actually play multiple accounts, CCP might be ok with that player getting multiple votes. |

If you really want to short-list who is in the WC, just start a "Who is going to fanfest?" thread. The WC candidates will be in that list.
Of course, they may not be able to admit it. I'm just going to wait until they announce the group at fanfest.
(No I haven't read anywhere that they'll be announcing the WC at fanfest, but I'd bet AUR on it). |
