FOR AT LEAST A MONTH, I've been seeing references to a costume called 'Poet' coming to Fall Guys 9th October
I kept asking everyone what it was
Was driving me absolutely mad
I've just found out... FROM A LEAK TWITTER
THE FALL GUYS TEAM HAVE ADDED ME TO THE GAME
I AM DEAD 💀
Twitter thread of the Community/Social Media Plan behind
@FallGuysGame
and how I grew the Twitter to 1.1 million followers and discord to 220k so quickly
The screenshots are all from slides I made in January 2020
Firstly - 'Of the platform, not just on it'
We're officially looking to hire another Community Manager at
@Mediatonic
to join me on
@FallGuysGame
!!!
PROS
- The Fall Guys Community is the best
- You get to work with me
- It's going well already lol
CONS
N/A
All the info you need is on this link:
So the
@FallGuysGame
peeps put
@OliverAge24
in the game - skin is now on the store for Kudos for a limited time. Obviously I've bought it and you should too.
Check out all of the comments saying they deserve to have all of their source code, accounting, HR, and employee data to be leaked 😩
Cyberpunk is just a video game 😩
Why do they feel so entitled and have absolutely no empathy?
I hate to see it 😩
A lot of you are asking to see the emails we're getting from banned players.
I won't share those, but here are the types of cheater...
"It wasn't me"
- It was my roommate or younger sibling.
- It was never an older sibling.
- I personally hate cheating in online games.
lol I just got subtweeted by the CM of Hyper Scape
One of the problems you face in Marketing is:
- If the game does badly, people blame marketing
- If the game does well, people say it's completely down to the game
I didn't expect that from other Community Managers
Embarassing
I promise I didn't tweet this myself lol 😂👌
Everyone at
@Mediatonic
is awesome and has been super supportive of my community managing 🙌
The Dev Team have all completely smashed it out of the park with
@FallGuysGame
❤️
@devolverdigital
have always been my favourite publisher
Yesterday was a special day for us at MT! Thank you everyone for making the
@FallGuysGame
launch incredibly special 🎉
Today we'd like to return the favour & say the biggest THANK YOU ever to our senior community manager
@OliverAge24
for working tirelessly these past months! 💖
Congrats to our friends
@Mediatonic
as
@FallGuysGame
crosses 7 million units on Steam and is the most downloaded PS Plus game of all time!
An amazing accomplishment from a wonderful group of folks.
With this whole Stadia thing...
It really highlights just how naïve it is to add "my opinions are my own" to your bio
Your takes can absolutely be hot enough that your employer is caught in the blast radius 🤦♂️
When I first started roasting him on twitter I had literally no idea how much it would snowball lol
I'm sorry for doubting you
@timthetatman
I can't believe HE DID IT
Also that it TRENDED TWICE, 100k+ people are tweeting about it... and 1/3 million people watched it live
WE JUST WITNESSED ONE OF THE BIGGEST GAMING MOMENTS OF OUR LIFETIMES
FOR YEARS TO COME, PEOPLE WILL BE ASKING EACH OTHER:
"Where were you when
@timthetatman
got the dub?!?"
HOOT! Today saw 2,142 more players retroactively banned for cheats we have been tracking over time. We will continue to ban bad beans and send them to the endless fall.

"We’d imagine that having zero crowns has been a constant source of disappointment for many fans, especially those who work at Mediatonic, and we hope Oliver’s holiday is much more relaxed now that he’s officially a winner."
😂👌
If you ever find yourself typing "Can I ask you a question?", just delete it, and go for it. Ask the actual question you want to ask
You save time for the person you're asking and you get your answer faster
Dubs for everyone 👑
Just played Among Us for 4 hours straight!
It was awesome - super replayable!
Unfortunately, I was only the imposter once even though there were 6 of us lol
I tried to calculate the odds of that happening but its too much effort lol
Unfortunately, Freddie passed away this weekend ☹️
I wish you'd all got to meet him because he was the sweetest rat in the universe
He absolutely loved humans, his brothers, and he had so much love in his heart
It's so sad that rats live such short lives ☹️
Freddie ❤️🐀
Imposter Syndrome is lame
When things go badly, you:
👉Feel responsible
👉Feel inept
👉Have existential dread
When things go well, you:
👉Can't acknowledge your role in your successes
👉Don't feel deserving of praise
👉Have existential dread
Its all existential dread, my dudes
Congratulations to Oliver Hindle
@OliverAge24
, our Marketing + Community Game Dev Hero 2020!
❤🧡💛💚💜
"It's obvious that Oliver is extremely passionate about what he does, it's not just a job to him, he is doing something he enjoys & it shows in the quality of his work."
nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early
astronaut: moon's wet
nasa employee: what?
astronaut: *loading a towel and getting back on the rocket-ship* moon's wet
As I mentioned earlier in the week - I'm taking a holiday 😀👌
In my absence, we'll be activating BeanBot, an advanced AI that uses Machine Learning to imitate my tweets
It might not be perfect, but please be nice to them ♥️
I'll see you on Monday 14th!
Thanks
@OliverAge24

Unfortunately, Wayne, one of our pet rats, passed away last night
He was 2 years 11 months old which is really old for a rat - almost 90 in human years!
He was my first pet (along with Garth) and he was such a good boy, I'm very grateful I got the time with him that I did ❤️🐀
We Won the Fall guys Skin bid for Charity! Massive thanks again to
@MrBeastYT
@aimlab
and
@G2esports
for joining me in this collab donation of a million dollars!
Some tips for that job post:
- Take your time (It's not Door Dash)
- Make sure you read the description, there are some questions you need to answer
- Don't write yourself off, be positive!
- It's worth doing a cover letter, don't leave it blank
- Use Grammarly or spellcheck
I might tell the Dev team that the whole community is asking for 'Crown Gifting' as a number one priority...
Just so somebody can gift me my first crown since launch lol
😩👌
I keep thinking about my username
OliverAge24 was a YouTube character I created 7 years ago
I grew the channel to 150k subs in 8 months and I was sure it was the most successful thing I'd ever do
It unlocked a lot of doors and connections for me, so I kept using the username
lol I made a really dumb
@FallOutBoy
joke as
@FallGuysGame
and they actually retweeted it, I'm literally dead
I was chatting with
@MarkHoppus
the other day too 😂👌
Who else do I tweet at even now?
I'm not sure how sharing your strategies is 'cringe and gauche'. If you look at my thread, loads of people were super grateful.
I tweeted the other day about Imposter syndrome and how it's difficult to accept your role within a game's success, so I was actively trying to fix it
Doubled down and fixed my Twitter Header too lol
Although... it now kind of sounds like a weirdly ironic slogan/pun 😩👌
Sort of like:
Oliver Yesterday - Haha, I wasn't born Yesterday
"Everyone else was cheating"
- If you can't beat them, join them
- The game was ruined for me, now I will ruin it for everyone else
- I'm not like the other cheaters
- Cheaters made me this way
- We live in a society
