Hey,

Thought I'd post a proper introduction in here. A few of you may have noticed my posts in the Announcements section and in the forums regarding Worms Revolution amongst other titles :)

I'm Bethany, I'm the (relevantly) new(ish) PR and Marketing Assistant here at Team17, though I've been in the company for over a year now already - I progressed up from QA.

If you've any questions then please feel free to direct them my way, I'll do my best to answer them (though if its about Worms Revolution and any new titles etc. I may not be prepared to disclose too much information too soon - it will come in time!) and if I can't answer them I'll find out who can for you.

Cheers guys!

Hiya.

I like how that works at T17, climbing the ranks! Bill, your predecessor, also started in QA way back in the Worms 2 days, I seem to recall. Speaking of whom, is there anything you can tell us about what happened to him? He's mentioned a few bits in private conversations, but nothing too concrete. Any chance he'd be able to stay at the company in another role?

Not that I'm complaining, it's just that he was more or less the last guy who spoke to us about the... older Worms games. :p

Hey, nice to see Team17 making an effort to keep communicating with the forum. We seem to chew through PR guys pretty fast though, are we that bad? :p

Seems pretty common to climb up from QA in the gaming industry, guess there's no way but up from there. ;)

Yeah, it feels like it's been a while since T17 has taken any kind of involvement with the forums. I'm Zeor. Hello!

Yeah it is, I think 90% of the people I speak to here have all made their way up from QA. Its a really good foot in the door :)

Ah, so your name actually IS Bethany. I nearly shortened your screenname to Beth yesterday, but I'd just assumed you were male (video games are sausage fests and all that). Good to know I can be lazy and not make things awkward :p

Anyway, welcome to the hell-pit that is the forums!

More like a tar pit, where you can't get out. Ever.

Martyn 'Spadge' Brown, former T17 director, had a custom 'Beer Guzzler' forum title for several years.

Yours shall be 'Cider Tippler' from now on! :)
