Fluxxx AMA!

Alright! As promised, and perhaps long overdue... a Q&A/ AMA thread where you guys can ask me many (not all) kinds of questions and I will answer them 
Since we have to keep it somewhat professional, let's have a couple of ground rules:
-I cannot talk about game specifics that are normally off the table. No deep economy discussions, no promises about release dates or far future plans, no discussion of the show that extends beyond episodes that previously aired.
-I reserve the right to maintain my own privacy.
The thread will either last about 14 days, or I'll answer approximately 50 questions (whichever comes first). Let's go!

Can I have your credit card number and 3 digits code from the back side please.
Asking for a friend. He said it's got to do something with security.
😆
You are doing a great job so far and replacing Kaz is no easy task - he was fantastic for the game and community.
Keep things transparent, don't step on eggs, and stay away from the spreadsheets of data that NG loves so much. Focus on real player feelings and you will have a great trip ahead.
Cheers!
2. Who is your favorite NML hero/survivor? And are you more into playing NML with range or melee?
3. When the zombie apocalypse happens, would you survive longer than a month or get bit within the first 24hrs?

@Fluxxx What is the biggest change you’d like to see happen in NML?
Any new feature you’d like to see?

Ok, so this is the only crack I found in your extensive disclaimer :-)
No "promises" doesn't mean we can't banter a bit about possibilities, yes???
Hmmmm...
Any chance we'll see more Highlights Missions featuring locations, missions, and TWD characters from past seasons not yet covered in the current NML game?
Not asking for a promise, just your thoughts.

1. How did it happen that you came about to work for NG and then how did you become a community manager.
2. What's your favorite games.
2. For a while my favourite hero was Jesus, but once I unlocked drive-by Daryl... you know the rest of the story. But in general, I quite like playing with ranged characters because I think the incendiary animation is one of the coolest ones we have, it's very satisfying to set a walker on fire 😅
3. I'd like to think that I'd be able to survive for quite a while. But then again, don't we all want to think that?
4. Those are my questions exactly!
5. I'm not sure I can answer this without breaking some forum rules, but in a nutshell, I would check how different things feel compared to how they feel as a male :P
6. I'm gonna keep it profesh and not answer this 😁
6. It's really subjective... depends on whether you see being shirtless as higher or lower value content. But perhaps the best way to benchmark this is by assigning values to all content creators (1= has a shirt 0.5=a tank top or something partially revealing 0= no shirt) and then calculating the average.
7. It is quite difficult... let's go with top 5
- Schnitzel (chicken or pork) with mashed potatoes - it's a classic for me. I could eat it for days on end without getting tired of this dish.
- Bun Cha
- Pad Thai
- Biryani
- A nice fat burger
8. I don't finish books very often, to be honest (I kind of read parts that are interesting to me and then put it back on my shelf). But the last one that I actually finished was "The Design of everyday things" by Don Norman.9. Since I've started playing NML, I always thought it'd be cool to have an "Academy" section with some slots that are reserved just for low level players - that way new players could get more guidance and would enjoy the game even more imo. The academy could also somehow contribute to challenges, but that's a thought for later.
10. Real time counters and personalized stats for community events (like the Earhunt)
11. There may be a chance of TWD characters, but new missions that feature locations have a much more complicated process so I really don't have an answer for that.
12. Had to ask a colleague to help me out with this one. Just one if you stuff the chicken down an elephant's throat it would probably choak to death.
13. My best friend and back-then-flat mate started working here first and recommended that I apply. As for my career origins, I wrote my bachelor's thesis on social media and brand tribalism - my job following that was a social media coordinator and community manager was a natural next step on that path. Before NG, I have been a CM at two different places, one at a SaaS company that had a focus on online channels, one that was was balanced between on offline/online channels (organizing events, making videos, social media, etc.).
14. Dota 2 is by far my favorite game. Otherwise I've really enjoyed the most recent GoW, Rocket League, Fifa.
1) Do you still play NML for fun?
2) Would you like to join a guild?, ( just saying, Walk the Talk is down to about 1/2 strength, and aways looking... Never finding, but always looking.... Anyhoo, in case you're interested,
Please join my group in The Walking Dead: No Man's Land! Click here to join: http://www.thewalkingdeadnomansland.com/guildinvite/?g=acbd5699e7754dc597b724680ccaae4e&p=03a79524c99f40bba621ab839ef9bfc0&l=en
Kidding, kinda, if this doesn't work, I might rebrand the guild as "Eyore and Pooh"...
Does the entire office/staff get to watch the season(s) early ? or it just the development team?
* assuming that they must for the season mission...... could not see them putting maps out in just a few hours after the episode plays *
What’s your favorite death scene?
Did you like the Governor?
Are you ready for a zombie apocalypse?
Unless it's a a genuine question but I doubt it.
Boxers or briefs?
The Walking Dead or Fear the Walking Dead ... ?
George W. Bush, great president or the GREATEST president?
Also, if you were a survivor in the game what class would you be and what traits would you have?

Dude, my son plays FIFA and Rocket League (some kind of car-soccer?) Almost exclusively and with obsession.
I think he's called SpiffyKing or something haha

16. Unfortunately I'm already in a guild with a few NG folks
17. Just the development team . Otherwise we get bits and pieces that we need (synopses, highlights and whatnot)
18. It requires a bit of effort as it needs art, code, and design. Adding new weapons also requires an update, so it's not as simple as "hey, let's add a cool new weapon!"
19. That's a really tough question man.. also not sure how to define favourite here. Shiva and Jesus hit me pretty hard so I would choose one of those 2.
20. I guess so, he's a really good and interesting character in the show so I'm happy that he's in it but he's a total prick.
21. Yeah I think so. Finland's a pretty good place to be in you know... a population of 5 million people despite being the 8th biggest European country by area, so there's never gonna be a very big herd
22. Boxers.
23. I haven't watched FTWD, so The Walking Dead 😅
24. Ok so this isn't what I'd be in an actual zombie apocalypse (machete/sword ftw). In NML I'd most likely be a Scout, with Dodge, Lucky, Power strike, strong, iron skin
25. Going on a hot air balloon!

1. Can we have the option to change a guild's name?
2. Can you guys clean up the game from having a lot of dead guilds?
I'd be great to have those two done.
Thanks.
