{{Quote|source={{Item|Lemon}}|
I manage the bug database, and more recently I've been helping with QA testing. I help with customer service when needed (moderating steam forums/official pages, very rarely replying to e-mails). I sometimes help create and set up live events (things involving scapegoats, mainly). Hmm.. Other than that, I do pretty much anything srand/Citan need done at the time.
