StevenI is now an official Community Coordinator!

Archive: 90 posts


I've got some fab news for you, something that I'm very pleased to announce - We've deputised StevenI to work officially on the LBP Community. For quite some time now I've talked about plans to improve the community work we do, and this is a large part of it.

Steven, who already does a fantastic job on the official forums, Get Satisfaction, and the LBP Wiki, amongst others, will be learning the ropes of LBP Community Management at Mm towers this week, and as we go along you'll start to hear more and more from him.

Please welcome him to the fold, he's going to do great job! <3

Awesome! Good to see more people on board the community management bandwagon. I guessing he'll be the one picking levels now? <3

Guess, we have to spam him with tweets and emails now to play our levels :3 JK lol

Personally, I don't have a good impression of StevenI.

What I've seen happen in this subforum particularly is a user will post some news here and a while later StevenI comes along and posts the same thing and takes the credit for finding it.

I'm still waiting for a follow up to a PM I sent to them about a thread someone else posted being removed as well.

"Taking the credit" is not what it's about, though. Steven has had inside information and prepared detailed posts as part of his role on the official forums. He then adds that information both here and there at the appropriate time. So it's not that he found it, he just had to wait to reveal it.

Anyway, congratulations Steven! There's no better person to assimilate into the LBP overmind.

Well... usually the case when one person works really hard to make thousands happy. Especially doing it for free for several years. There are always a few that will end up getting a bad impression no matter how well he does or how much time he puts in.

The majority find him really helpful and nice. I suggest giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Regardless of what your opinion might be, Taffey is right - this is not the time nor the place to discuss the problems we may or may not have with StevenI. If there's something you want to report, report it, but do so privately, outside of the confines of this thread.

Yeah, instead of promoting the community members to seek out and post news let's have one person lord it over everyone else.

Why not just lock the ability for regular users to post new threads in this forum? The forum members here are clearly not needed.

Well, if you insist.

January 23rd is my birthday, if you want to set a specific date and can't decide on a day...
Although feel free to surprise me with a day of your choosing, if you so please.

Or not...
I will of course leave such decisions upto the community.

Except the Spaff and Tom Appreciation Day pins are bugged and unobtainable lol

But we should think on something unique for Steven

I mean Spaff we slap his face on all kinds of things like movie posters, and cat memes
Tom we slap Tom Kiss stickers everywhere (I think, i missed last years )

So what kind of evil....I mean loving things should we do? I think we should use his sackboy hehe

Finally! I couldn't think of a better man for this job.
Especially in the last year I have the pleasure and the luck to interact with Steven.
He's great, and loves this game and its Community
I'm sure he will be the best we can possibly have.

Good luck my friend, LBP has a brighter future now!

What exactly will this change? I mean, not saying that this isn't great news and that it doesn't matter, but I'm just curious. Unless it's one of the many secrets you absolutely must keep until the time is right, and that telling someone means exterminating that person so the info isn't leaked. Reminds me of that huge sign some parents put on the closet door that says in big, bold letters:"Do Not Open Till Christmas" (Which is kinda a HUGE giveaway unless you're THAT convinced that a fat man from the North Pole delivers your presents).

lmao. You calmly, rationally stated your doubt about him then other veteran members quickly swooped into the thread in defensive mode saying you're wrong, skirting around the topic and saying "this is not the time/place" hoping anything disagreeing with their point of view would be dropped. This is getting so old you could almost call it classic lbpc behavior.

You know I always speak my mind about people and don't fear to face anyone if they mess up, behave or whatever.
If my word means something to you I can grant you that StevenI is genuinely a great guy.
I know, I experienced how much he helped behind the scenes even before getting this job.
He solved maaaaaaaaaaaaany problems that "OTHERS" with a job should have solved.
And he's quick at getting to people that needs it.

New MM Picks

I know! It's going crazy!

I'm happy to confirm that I played comish's Checkers game (which I'm happy to admit is far better than mine) and BlockThing 3D before they were picked...... which rarely happens for me.

Kudos to Spaff for picking some levels that didn't have many plays pre-MM pick.

Either way, you're doing a great job Steven. Nice to see that some of the lesser played levels are also getting noticed. I know you've played a couple of my levels, and whilst I'm not expecting them to be picked, I am very grateful. Keep up the good work.... you're obviously a very busy man.

Great stuff.

It's definitely better this way. I was thinking before, if they were picked every week, the honor of being MM picked might be diminished. Having thought about it a bit more, I now realise that that is nonsence. MM picks are basically the best way to say "this level is great, everybody should play it". There are a lot of levels like that out there, and it's great that attention is being brought to them.

Quick questions. When you've picked a few levels, do you have to get approval before they are officially picked? Is it a one man job or do you have a little team of helpers?

My thoughts exactly!
There's plenty of creators still out there that deserve some more recognition for their creations!

There's no official approval process for picking levels.
All I do is choose five levels throughout the week that I wish to highlight on Friday and then proceed to pick them at that time.

Do you have a backlog of levels that you want to picked, or do you start afresh every week?

It's a good mix of both.

I have a small list of levels that I would love to feature asap and will earmark them for an upcoming MmPicks release.

However I'm always on the look out for new levels and so that schedule is subject to change right up until the moment that I select my five MmPicks for the week!

Just thought I would post this to say what a fine job you are doing with the MM picks. This should have been done a long time ago. Now I feel as if I want to go straight to the MM picks instead of searching endlessly for those one off levels that delight in so many ways. I played a level yesterday (think it's inspired by Cubix?) and I was blown away. Keep up the good work my friend, you are single handedly revitalising a franchise that I consider the most 'important' game of this or any other generation.2012-03-20 12:34:00

can anyone tell me what day the MM picks are updated now that they're done weekly?

They are updated every Friday.

Which just happens to be today!
So if I were you, I'd go and check out the Mm Picks in ooooh... About an hour's time!

I've a few more things to do before lunch...
But that sunny weather outside is definitely looking appealing right now...
