Crouched low behind the EV, Redeye took a moment to steady his nerves as he slid his M14’s trusty magazine into position and chambered another round. Automatic fire continued to rain down around him, throwing concrete and dirt into the air. 15 seconds, that’s all that Proxy needed to finish repairing the EV; 15 seconds that did not exist.
Opposition forces were closing in fast…Redeye was determined to find that much needed time…whether he lived or died was of little consequence, he would happily die for the greater good…for his team.
With one final breath, Redeye popped some smoke, activated his IR goggle, stepped out from behind the EV, levelled his rifle, and-BOOOOM!!!
Hello there Splash Damage soldiers, my name is Chris “Silvanoshi” Murphy, and as Badman has already mentioned, I’m Splash Damage’s new Community Manager. I’ve been charged with the unenviable task of trying to fill Badman’s shoes. He has done a ton of great work for the community, and I’m sure that he’s going to continue to pull off fantastical feats of sorcery for Splash Damage in the new role that he recently took charge of. Thanks for all of the hard work to date Badman!
Now, let me tell you a little bit about what I want to do as Splash Damage’s CM. Open and clear communication has long been an important pillar of the way that I try to build and run communities. As such, I’ll be looking to continuously improve the levels of communication between you guys and the dev teams here in the studio. I aim to keep you informed, and the dev teams up to speed with the latest feedback that you’re giving us about our games.
I’ll also be looking to get some interesting contests and events up and running; all the while helping out with, and promoting, the excellent community initiatives that some of you are already running. Again, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let me know what you’d like to see.
With much of the work related content out of the way, this seems like the perfect time to tell you a little bit about myself. I’m an easy-going*lad from the Emerald Isle who has been managing gaming communities for many a year. I enjoy bringing the awesome work that communities do to wider gaming audiences, reading, long walks on the bea-…erh…hrrmmfff…I mean…erh…moving on…
As Badman has mentioned, I’ve worked on a wide array of titles previously, with shooters being one of my key areas of interest. As such, I have a fair bit of experience to pull from both in terms of what to do…and what not to do…. I’ll probably be trying to focus slightly more on the former rather than the latter 
:p.
Moving on to my gaming background, I grew up playing PC shooters, and was involved in the running of many a league, ladder and tournament. I’ve quite the soft spot for high level competitive play, as well as competition targeted at slightly more relaxed clans, and so I can’t wait to see what we can get rolling with the various titles that we have going here :).
Music is another medium that plays a large role in my life, I would love to find out what kind of music you folks listen to. I like to think that I’m open to anything, but generally find myself being drawn back to the soothing lullabies of modern metal, particularly that of the groove and rhythmically varied variety. I’ve been digging quite a bit of Tesseract lately, and am a big fan of bands such as Gojira, Meshuggah, Cult of Luna, The Ocean, Russian Circles, and the like.
Now that I’m done with that wall of text, I would love to learn a little bit more about each of you. I’m afraid that I don’t quite of the time to search through the forum for each of you intros, so if you fancy telling me a little bit about yourself and why you’ve chosen to spend your much valued time with us, please feel free to go ahead and do so in a response below.
I very much look forward to working with each and every one of you. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Chris “Silvanoshi” Murphy
