Community Managers are now in place.

A lot of people applied, and the quality of those mails made this a hard call. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. This first group is not “the only people who were qualified” — it is a mix of timezone coverage and the kinds of work the role was created for. I can add more people later as the role settles or new needs arise.

If you applied and are not on this list, that is not a closed door. Keep doing what you already do in chat, on the forums, and with new players. That work still matters, title or not and if it seems like we need more community managers, you will be considered again.

What this role is

Community Managers help players settle in, keep the community moving, and make Cartel Empire feel more alive. That can mean helping new and returning players, running community events, helping with socials where it is a good fit, and triggering timed in-game events.

They are not Moderators. Reports and rule-breaking still go through the report tools on a player’s profile.

These focus areas are starting points, not cages. Each person below has a lane they will probably spend more time in. Any of them can still help with new players, events, chat, or whatever is in front of them that day. If you need a Community Manager, talk to whoever is around, don't necessarily wait for a specific member.

The team

• DAS_DADDY — Community welcome
• TATER_GUZMAN — Player help
• WEISS_SCHNEE — New players
• SNOWWHITE — New players
• EVERCLEAR — Global social
• SOMBRA_NEGRA — Guides and events
• SCOTIA — Forums and wiki

A dedicated newbie chat for Community Managers and young accounts is live.

Separately, DAN is joining as a Moderator. That is a different role: reports, rules, and keeping things in line. Community questions still go to the people above; rule-breaking still goes through the report tools.

The community manager role will change as I see what the community actually needs. If the mix of coverage or focus is wrong, I will adjust.

Thanks again to everyone who applied.
