Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I would like financial stability, new socks and a fully paid apartment.

Love,

They hired him specifically so the players would feel he's "one of them", and they let him keep clowning and meme'ing throughout

To me, that's what makes a good Community Manager.
Someone that is able to joke around with the players while still able to be serious when comes the time.
The fact that Michael was so involved with the players and how he went out of his way to help while still being super friendly to all of us made me like him.
The Community Manager should be able to make friends with players but still keep a professional distance from them, especially if they're only players and not Volunteers (but that's still to their own discretion. Obviously no company talk with players only). They should be able to connect with the players. Since Michael has actually played the game before, he was in a position where he knows how frustrating things can be, and I feel like that's why he tried to go out of his way to help more than he was supposed to.
I feel that because of how Michael was towards the players, it made us feel like we were heard, understood, and, to me, that's how a Community Manager should be.

It makes them look human.

Please no, I need this.
30 coins a day is not enough.

Why is that surprising?
He's under NDA, and even if he wasn't, he wouldn't want to burn bridges.
What did you expect him to say?

I'm surprised by the fact that he was let go. That's what's surprising.
I didn't expect him to say more than what he said, I completely understand he's not really supposed to say anything other than that right now.

Can I have Michael back?
