Thank You!

I would like to take the opportunity to personally say a very heartfelt thank you the QONQR community.

 In the past week there has been a lot of emails from players voicing their concerns on Sync Lock. Not all of it was negative. We had quite a few players email us their support. Even a few who didn't like Sync Lock, but still took the time to tell us that they appreciated our efforts and were excited to see what happens from here. Over the weekend an email came that simply read, "Just writing to say hi and I hope you all have a good weekend. I know this has been a challenging time."

I can't express to you how much it means to have a community that cares as much as this one does. We appreciate each and every email we have received with feedback and ideas on Sync Lock (even the not so positive ones).  It means a lot to me personally to work for such an amazing company...a company where the CEO spends a solid week going into every GroupMe group he is invited into and listens and answers questions, and then spends days rewriting code to implement changes in an effort to make his users happy and feel heard. 

Today I feel very blessed. Thank you again, a million times thank you. Thank you for your feedback. The good, the bad and the ugly...it all makes us better in the end and that's what we all want.

Twin Cities Meet Up~Come meet Gadge

     Tonight is the first official QONQR meet up for the Twin Cities and this will also by my first meet up that I have gotten to attended! I am super excited to meet all my peeps!! I am happy that it is faction wide so that I can sniff out my "enemies".
    I hope to see you all there. I am so ridiculously excited to work for such an amazing company, but one of my favorite things about QONQR is the amazing community of players it has and the many people I get to meet on a daily basis that I otherwise never would.
     If you do not know about it, it's tonight Thursday the 14th at 6:30 at the TGIFriday's  in St. Louis Park. Come on by and meet me and lets have a drink together and if you don't want to meet me, come meet Justin and Scott who are the developers who make QONQR what it is everyday(the best mobile game ever!).

Can't wait!! Hope to see you there!!

SWTC5

I am so excited to be going to Startup Weekend in Minneapolis, MN starting tonight through Sunday. This event moves from city to city and is an opportunity for techies (and non-techies) to pitch and create a start up. I have decided to sit and observe my first time at SWTC, but I hope to find a fantastic team to help out while I am there.

This of course is how QONQR was started. Justin, aka GungHo, stood up and pitched the idea that is now the game taking the mobile gaming world by storm. I am very excited and honored to be a part of it and I will be tweeting pictures all weekend with #SWTC5 from my @gadgerson Twitter account. In addition to tweeting pictures I will be doing a follow up post on Monday about how SWTC5 went. Wish me luck!

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy QONQRing!!

The Great American Road Trip...QONQR Style:

Since I started playing QONQR, family time has changed. Date night went from dinner and a movie to "hey lets drive across the bridge into Wisconsin and cause some havoc on people's zones." Time with the kids is now "Just give me one second sweetie, mommy needs to pwn some n00bs."

Back in June, my family and I decided to take a road trip to Louisville, Kentucky to visit my parents. That quickly turned into the "QONQR Land Grab of 2013"

We started the 12 hour drive on a Saturday morning. We made our usual immediate pit stop for gas and snacks. *Sidebar: I actually have a few things to say about snacks and playing QONQR. DO NOT eat Cheetos or Slim Jim's while you play. They both will make your touch screen gross for bot launches. Pick snacks that you can eat with one hand because you will be busy wreaking havoc with your other hand.*

When we started this adventure I had a whopping 38 zone captures (I play more defense than offense). We drove across the MN/WI State lines and I immediately began capturing zones and making bases with funny names.

We have two small children and driving 12 hours in one shot isn't really feasible, so we stopped in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois at a hotel for the night. That night my husband and I went on a missile/plasma beam bot killing spree (nothing brings a family together like the destruction of other player's zones). We had a great time.

The next day when we arrived at our destination I had captured more than 300 zones. In the week that followed I managed to change the color of Louisville's Clifton area from Purple to Green (don't judge..I was originally a misguided Tree Hugging Swarm Op) along with everything else that was within my blast radius.

 The "Family Road Trip" was forever changed in my brain, and I'm now planning our next one. I'm thinking Kentucky (and everything between here and there) could use a little more Red.

Who needs to fly anywhere when you can drive and take the world by storm at the same time.
