[Jester's Trek] CSM8 Status report: Week twelve
CSM8 Status report: Week twelve
When I first challenged Seleene, Hans Jagerblitzen, and Alekseyev Karrde alllll those months ago early in their CSM7 term to communicate much more frequently with players, the very first response I got back was "Sometimes, there's nothing going on." My response was "Then tell the players that! That's better than what you're doing now."
There's nothing going on. ;-)
Seriously, there are more people on vacation this week than there were last week. I feel like the entire staff of CCP that is working is working on the tournament. Three quarters of the requests we're sending to CCP right now are being answered by CCP Dolan or another CCPer with "That person is on vacation until X." Kudos to the CCPers that are keeping us aware of this! For the moment there appear to be only two active things going on. One, you've already been made aware of. The other, you'll be seeing a public post about pretty soon, I suspect. As Malcanis put it on Failheap,
...brace for a new round of things to get tearfully upset about any minute now.Yep. ;-) And I'll have more to say about HAC round two in a separate post.
For myself, I haven't had a single minute to do anything CSM-related this past week. Nearly every waking EVE moment I've had has gone to preparations for Alliance Tournament flying this past Saturday and Sunday. But it's a good week for it. I'm not missing anything. Hell, I just checked the CSM/CCP Skype channel, which I forgot to check all day yesterday and today. There was 207 lines in it, all of them from CSM members. There's nothing going on. ;-)
The one thing that is going on is the CSM separation of and voting on all of your "Reasonable things". Thank you again for all of the suggestions that those of you that participated submitted! I can tell you that lots of them have been sources of discussion in our private channel. I myself need to go through the list and do my voting early this week. Also, I've got my flight arrangements to Iceland for the Summer Summit, which is coming up four weeks and two days from today.
Two other things I need to work on in the coming week:
- Scheduling the town hall; and,
- our next stake-holder meeting this Thursday.
