Its a little messed up to have a single corp with 2 people sitting on the CPM dont ya think? Especially considering Jenza hasnt done anything for this community since January, and the fact that there are so many more people who are more than qualified for the spot.

I am not part of Jenza's corp by affilation, I am just a guest in Betamax as a closed beta tester involving in the testing community back then. I am there only as a welcomed Guest, I do not render political aid, I do not manage any leadership positions in the corp, I am just there to chat and help train. I will probably help field PC battles but only to get used to the systems and understand the game more.

Dude, I was ok with you being on there until this BS statement. How can you seriously help guide Dust if this is the noncommital attitude you have? You are a part of Betamax, thats the end of that story. One corporation, and arguably alliance, should not have two members sitting on the CPM especially considering no one was elected. If the community elected them then whatever, but for two to be appointed from the same corp is corrupt and will instill a huge bias in the CPM.

Because no matter what I do or what some of the other hand picks are going to do, there is going to be some very pissed off players and addressing all of them to be nice about it, is going to be impossible, by statement about my affliation with betamax however has been long standing and well known to betamax. Jenza can confirm this.

The cronyism and corruptness is becoming more and more evident.

I am not the one doing the errosion though, I am still the same from Ironwolf yesterday, CPM title is only going to change what I can say from now on in terms of up and comming. Its not going to stop me from being a relay, its not going to stop me from snooping the net for clues, and its not going to stop me to tell the devs the peice of the community's minds.

If you want to yell at me for something about lying and the sorts. You can yell at me about lying about going to the Fan Fest.

Jenza is the one with the big lying problem, I never had a problem with you about that. Hell, you were rarely online for me to have a problem with you about anything. And I was ok to see you on the CPM because I know that you do a lot for us trying to figure out what CCP refuses to tell us and irritates the hell out of us with. But when you can sit here and start to backtrack and try to say that youre really not a part of Betamax it tells me that youre gonna do the same thing as a CPM. Anytime something goes wrong or a mistake is made youre gonna back away and say that you just sat on the council and didnt really have anything to do with it. It also shows you will in fact not give the devs a piece of your mind. You will go along with whatever and then try to say it wasnt your fault when something goes wrong.

Good to see the guy that made AFKing generally accepted in the DUST community tops out the council:

@Recon By Fire - what do you think the CPMs going to do? Convince the devs to hack up the game and give their corps the super secret dev hacks and special kill everyone guns? Get a grip.

Many thanks to everyone for putting their trust in us, I'm looking forward to helping set up this new Council to be every bit as efficient and productive as the CSM itself has become over the years. One of my big goals is to bypass the 7 years of trial-and-error its taken to get that institution to a healthy place, and get the CPM off to the right start from the very beginning. CCP has chosen some outstanding individuals to represent everyone here, who have demonstrated remarkable commitment to the community and an unquestionable work ethic.

One of the first issues I'm going to address is this utter nonsense about corp ticker - if you think its going to compromise our ability to serve, lets just nip this little idea in the butt right from the beginning. Just as the CSM has year after year, the CPM will be representing the community as a whole, not our individual corps. We will be under supervision and scrutiny from internal affairs, and we literally cannot abuse our positions for corporate or personal gain, or we will be removed, simple as that. So please everyone, lets skip right over the unnecessary drama baiting about which corp we belong to, and start reaching out to your representatives with your issues and concerns.

Inter-corp and Inter-alliance drama has zero place on the council, and all wars / beefs / conflict that happen in-game get laid aside when we work as a team to represent the community. That is why the CSM is strong, and I'm going to ensure that the CPM operates with the very same principles.

I'll try to answer any questions I can before leaving for Iceland for Fanfest tomorrow, but I'm quite busy packing and running errands, so I appreciate everyone's patience and I look forward to hitting the ground running as soon as I return.

And to Nomed- you gotta let the whole sp farming thing go. We're all here for the real game modes where sp farmings not relevant. The days of public match grinding are over

The SP farming done stretches past mere pub play; that's SP to freely be used to their advantage in planetary conquest, there was no consequence for those openly and repeatedly exploiting a game mechanic, and further still AFKing has affected the playerbase as a whole where some players have lost interest and teams in pubs quit fighting after 5 minutes where whoever is at disadvantage merely sits at the red line.
When the new build starts, I'll put this in the past but for now, AFKing is still rampant and still affecting gameplay and the community.
