Re: Hulkamania

Approachable, good at listening, but not afraid to make the hard calls.
Honestly one of the most professional admins I've come across, which is odd for a game we don't get paid for :3c

But yes, has dealt with personal matters swiftly when they have been raised and for that I am grateful for.
