The whole thing is good news ! It is through that kind of interactions with the community that CCP makes a difference with your usual game dev. So witnessing the birth of a Dust 514 CSM is a very very very good thing.
I get the whole handpick thing as the mecanics behind voting for a Dust CSM has to be entirely build from scratch due to the F2P nature and the fact that well.....no one did that before.
One thing i would support though is the remark i quote from shaman oga. Even though, it would a hell of a huge council if you would have to add one representative per language. But i guess spanish, chinese, german, french and english would be pretty good for starter. |

With competition like Iron Wolf and a few of the others actively in IRC, I strongly doubt I would have any pull here. Regardless, now that I know CCP is actively looking to involve us like this, I greatly look forward to getting my recording set up all squared away so that I can start putting out tutorials and tips for new players.
Aside from being an active participant in IRC and the forums, are there any other criteria you're looking for from these / future candidates? |

It's kind of difficult to accomodate every language but yes i think ligua fracas are the way to go. Using common languages that are spoken across many regions along with using translation services (not sure how well google translate works) is the best way to get good representation across the greatest number of ppl.
A great criteria would be to find representatives who have multi-language fluency so they can communicate to a wider audience without creating an overtly large and bloated council. Keep in mind though once this thing goes player elected council it may be difficult to accomodate non-english speakers as i imagine the english speaking population will have a large majority.
Hopefully CCP will figure out a way to decrease the communication gap. |

How large a council are you currently planning on?
What are the criteria for selection that the interview will be based around?
How will you differentiate between who is constructive in content generation, and who is merely loud? |

Obviously the council will be english speaking, i'm not against it, i just want to say that there are 7 language forums, i guess that in the council will be more than 7 people, at least one for each language should be in, and of course english speaking people should have more seats on the council. I asked only because i guess spanish people prefer to play with other spanish, germans with other germans, italians with other italians and so and so... It's much easier to ask something in your own language to a player you know than asking to a complete unknown for you. For example italian player will ask to the italian member, french player to the french member.... |

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. |

This should be interesting. i hope it works out, took quite awhile for the CSM members to actually feel like they where working in tandem with ccp. With their prior experience, interaction and how well CSM7 has went perhaps dust's version will become more productive out of the gate.
Might i recommend that ccp pick a previous CSM member that also plays dust. Like a mentor role for the first group.
Just a random thought ;) |

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! |

I believe there will be only a few members on the Council, say 5-12. For the first Council CCP is picking them and they have yet to work out how the future Councils will be chosen since players can be made for free and basically without limit. While larger corps will have more base support it will take more than that one corp and in some cases even alliance to elect a member to the board, just like in real elections. We will see how this goes... |

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?". |

CCP, thank you. Seeing this kind of effort and appreciating the consideration you are giving to both quality, fair representation and speed of action is encouraging.
My fellow mercs:
Please try to keep this focus at the forefront as we all go into this endeavor together...
The War Council should be a body that works to improve the game for everyone. Representation works best when there is more effort directed towards seeking increased benefit for everyone vice seeking increased benefit or recognition for the representatives.
It should be more about DUST514 and less about who the candidates are.
Loss of this perspective in most representative bodies is what leads us to the adage that Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. (take heed legislative branch)
Good communication and effort CCP. Thanks |

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. |

While it seems a good idea on paper the method of picking these ppl do not
Why cant you let ppl who want to be on the war council compete for it, so you make a sub forum and just say for 2 weeks anyone who wants to put forward ther name does so and states why they would be good and what they would campaign for
Basically and election but no one votes and only CCP picks the winners, but also CCP would have access to ther posts and to see if they are full of **** or not
Also you could add rules like only max 2 reps from each corp |

Sounds very interesting and very promising, its a feature I know many of the players have been pushing for for some time now.
My only word of advice is to try to avoid having all of your candidates be from major organizations, or just people who post a lot on the forums. There are a lot of players out there from some of the massive corps that like to showboat around on the forums, playing themselves off as a fantastic community members when really they're just trying to draw up community support with a silver tongue and little work behind their words to back it up.
There are plenty of people I've seen around that quietly work to support this game by doing hard and good work that is sometimes left unnoticed by the masses, but is nevertheless invaluable to the community in the long run. It would be a shame for CCP to also let this work go unnoticed, because it really is important and will allow this game to survive and thrive. Because of that, the people working on this stuff really should be the ones on the council because they're more interested in the quality of the game and not just their own personal or corporate interests. |

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. |

This sounds like a great idea. I think members that have been around since closed beta, been active in the game and given feedback/bug reports should top off the list.
What all criteria are you considering and what would a council members required duties be? |
