Questions for the new community manager?

Is this another one of those "hypothetical questions" where you ask "if this could happen, what would you ask?" but what you actually mean is "this is totally happening in a few days, what questions do you have?" If so, just say so man

As for right now, all I can think of is "what are our responsibilities on our end - if any - to help make this game as good and successful as it can be?"

Also a reaffirmation that the Design Review Requests are in the appropriate format (the more condensed versions we had discussed) to be helpful feedback that can be relayed from us, through the community manager and then to the dev team. We had been doing them kind of hypothetically but now that there will be someone in a position to actually read them, that could require a format or content change. When the next update comes up and extra eyes are on the forum I'm going to try to bump/poke some of those topics in the suggestion form so people can share more opinions. I think some of those topics are itching to be written up but it feels like traffic in that forum was much higher during the summer than recently.

I guess some questions about who they (the community manager) are, how/why they got attached to this project, etc. would also be pertinent. It seems like it would be a good idea to get to know them since we will be communicating with them frequently over the next year(s). Though I figure these are questions you'd ask them anyway.

All the questions so far seem good, especially the one about how the CM got involved. I'd like to know if they approached/asked for the job or if they applied for the position. That doesn't make much of a difference to me since networking and getting jobs through people you know is a normal thing in every field and it shouldn't be an issue as long as they can do the job, I'm just still kinda curious.

I have a lot of questions since I'm trying to approach this situation as a public version of a job interview, but I also hope most of them are already planned anyway.

BLOODSTAINED AND THE COMMUNITY (or) GETTING TO KNOOOOW YOOOOU
-What is the biggest misconception about your role as community manager that you'd like to get out of the way right now?
-How did you learn about Bloodstained's Kickstarter campaign?
-Which console do you plan to play Bloodstained on? If you're going with PC, will you use Steam or GOG?
-Would you rather have a digital or physical copy of Bloodstained?
-Sword or whip?
-Are you allowed to give your personal opinion or feedback on Bloodstained's direction or pitch ideas to the creative team in public?
-How much power do you have when it comes to forwarding ideas to IGA and Inti Creates?
-What game do you feel has had the biggest impact on your life?
-What is the crown jewel of your gaming collection?
-A big selling point of Bloodstained is that it's a spiritual successor to the Castlevania games. Tell us about your personal experience with Castlevania.
-What are some of your interests outside of gaming?

PUBLIC JOB INTERVIEW (or) CRUCIBLE OF FUN
-How well do you know Japanese?
-What other skills do you bring to the table and feel make you valuable at your job?
-When I think of good community managers, I think of Seth Killian (Capcom, Street Fighter), Frankie (Bungie and 343i, Halo), and the guy who runs Sega's official Sonic twitter account. Who are some people who influenced or shaped your idea of what makes a good community manager?
-What part of your job are you looking forward to the most?
-What do you think will be the biggest challenge you'll face as community manager?
-What is your favorite moment in your career so far?
-What do you feel was the biggest mistake you've made in your career (if you can talk about it), and what lesson did you learn from it?
-Let's say a feature, promise, or stretch goal that was promoted in Bloodstained's Kickstarter campaign ends up getting cut from the game in mid-development. How would you deliver this bad news to and/or handle the reaction from gaming fans on the internet?

Yes, be sure to have your metal chair and bright lamps ready.

Yeah, assuming he's not someone like...egoraptor that we already know a bit about, questions as to his background as above would be great, and even if he is a known personality like that, I want to be able to identify with the guy or girl as much as possible. Connecting with us is the name of the game, after all.

I suppose for me:
There are large cons and events these days (such as the Games Done Quick marathon going on now) with a lot of fan overlap, being also a great target audience to show the game and interface with us and the gaming community as a whole. Similarly to how game community managers from other genres attend events in person, could we see you (and/or your companions) present at or otherwise contribute to these fan gatherings? Even just a sponsored donation prize for the Games Done Quick's charity marathon would be great press and connect well with them.

What do you think of the shaders/direction taken with the graphics? Orthographic/perspective project? (i.e. get him involved in some of our hot topics lately, maybe a smart way to ease him into reconciling concerns and opinions while also hopefully having some of his own view ;p)

What are some of your favorite other games? What is a game series/concept that you'd like to see revived via Kickstarter or other means?
