Please Welcome Our Two New Community Coordinators!

Laera: Greetings Tankers!   I'm thrilled to welcome two new Community Coordinators to the team! Introducing RibbleRabble and HBFT! They'll be helping out in the forums so be sure to give them a warm welcome. While they are new to the Community Team, they have both been with Wargaming America for some time. Without further ado, I'll allow them to introduce themselves:   RibbleRabble - Community Coordinator  Greetings Wargamers! I’m RibbleRabble and I recently joined the community coordinator team in North America. I am excited to be a part of the community team and I look forward to supporting our community in any way possible! Feel free to add me, message me, invite me to a platoon/flight, etc.   How long have you been with Wargaming? About 9 months.   What's your favorite tank? I really like the IS-6 and can’t wait to get the IS-7. I haven’t really found my play style so I am open to suggestions and tips!   What is your favorite Wargaming memory? The recent trip to the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation was awesome! Also, the WGLNA Gold League Season 3 Finals in San Francisco was great. Seeing the pro teams go at it was epic.   Hometown? I was born in San Francisco and grew up in the Bay Area, but I consider Sacramento my hometown.   What is your favorite book? “Magic the Gathering: Arena” is one of my favorite books.   If you could be any animal what would it be and why? Dragon! That doesn't count?! Alright, fine! I would be a hawk or some type of bird of prey. Mainly for their ability to fly and keen vision when hunting, although, if I could I would be a dragon because who wouldn't want to be a dragon?     If you could have any super power what would it be and why? I would have to say telekinesis.  I could easily keep my powers a secret and use my powers in a sport like baseball or golf. Also, I would be the best magician in the world. “RibbleRabble, Professional Baseball Player and Magician”   What were some of your favorite video games as a child? That is a tough one… As a child I played a lot of Bomberman. Although, I would say my all-time favorites would have to be Monster Rancher, Brigandine, and Final Fantasy 7.   What are some of your favorite movies? Inception, Nacho Libre, and Anchorman   HBFT - Community Coordinator  Hello everyone! I am HBFT [or Happy Bunny Fluffy Toes] and I am a Community Coordinator for Wargaming North America.  You will see me in the forums and in-game where I will do my best to improve the overall experience for all of our players. I am really excited to get to know everybody and I hope that we can work together to make our community a great place to be!   How long have you been with Wargaming? I've been with Wargaming since August of 2013; so a little over 8 months.   What's your favorite tank? The more I play World of Tanks, the more I started to move towards playing medium vehicles.  I really enjoy the T-54 (U.S.S.R.) for its overall mobility and awesome turret.  On the opposite end of things, the T69 (U.S.A.) has really grown on me for its burst damage.   What is your favorite Wargaming memory? My favorite memory at Wargaming came from the time when a player was patiently awaiting a response on one of their support tickets and they sent an “anti-joke” list to me to help me to relax while getting them the information that they needed.  I laughed for probably the next few days and still remember a number of those jokes to this day!   Hometown? I grew up and currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.   What is your favorite book? I love quite a number of books, but I really enjoyed the Eisenhorn Trilogy by Dan Abnett. (I also religiously read hint books/strategy guides at the local Waldenbooks when they were still around)   If you could be any animal what would it be and why? I would want to be a little Emperor Penguin. Emperor Penguins seem like such beautiful creatures, and as a young child my favorite stuffed animal was a little Emperor Penguin.   If you could have any super power what would it be and why? I would want the ability to momentarily freeze everything around me.  There are many times when I wish I could just slow down and realize that I am a smaller part in a greater world and there are few things that can center you like silence.   What were some of your favorite video games as a child? I absolutely adored the Wing Commander series by Origin.  I loved the level of interaction between your AI wingman and your character.  Also…that game had “talkies” in it with the brand new Soundblaster (8-bit sound!!!).  I really enjoyed Baldur’s Gate II, EA’s Navy SEALs, Counter-Strike, Final Fantasy VI, and an abundance of Sierra adventure titles.   What are some of your favorite movies? I love Gettysburg with Martin Sheen, The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise, The Rock with Sean Connery, The Negotiator with Samuel Jackson, and The Untouchables with Robert De Niro.  (Those are just a few movies off the top of my head)
