MERCENARIES
From late 2012 to early 2015, I was the Game Balance Lead for Mercenaries, an online, text-based, debate and team-building game, hosted on Last-Life.net. In Mercenaries, each player maintains a roster of "Mercs" (modeled after popular video game characters) to fight other players' Mercs, with the intent of keeping one's economy strong and bankrupting other players.
For Mercenaries 4, I curated and balanced all the Merc models, levied punishments in cases of player infraction and inaction, expanded the forum's medal system to reward consistently active players, and handled disagreements between the Mercenaries moderation team and site administrators. I was also part of the creation of the Mercenaries podcast to discuss and maintain interest in the long-running game.
