Ask the Staff!

I see many identification and guides that mention pets by name. Where can I look up the names of pets?

to any staff members:

are the staff members friends? do the staff have meetings regularly to discuss new rules, monthly pets, annual events? do you get to know each other outside of that or hang out as friends? i've always wondered..

My fellow Brits are not close enough for me to pop round for a cuppa, it's tragic. But when Covid is settled down and I can schedule an invasion a trip, I fully intend to go and harass meet Dama. (ilu Dama don't hurt me <3) I would like to meet all the Brits someday, perhaps we need to organise a get-together next year.. -rubs chin thoughtfully-
Some of the other staff have met up and hung out before though! I won't say which staff for their privacy, they can tell you themselves if they want :3

We are all friends though, there is daily conversation amongst the team. They even let me out of the staff basement sometimes to join in.

As for staff meetings, site matters of all kinds get considered and discussed in private all the time so can't really say much more than that I suppose. Now... -puts on shades and holds up pen- ..look at the end of this pen for me .

To all the offical artists-

I'd say we make a pretty solid group of pals, yeah! We do chat outside of CS, and when there's events and stuff going on you can bet we talk about it, too :D We also do other things like playing games together or watching movies or forcing gently persuading chevreuil to read books and share commentary with us.
There's a handful of people who I've already been friends with before any of us joined the team, but working together we also certainly connect with each other if we haven't done so before.

I've met two others IRL before.
Raire and I have been online friends for like, forever, but the first time we met was actually when I got stranded at a train station near his home, and he came to the station to help me pass the time. Another time he let me sleep over for a night because I'd been to a concert and wouldn't have had the energy to make it all the way back home at such a late hour. I was blessed with the opportunity to pet his bunnies and then hold one for nail clipping, immediately becoming a villain in their book

Burrito Bunny and I met for a day when she and her class were on a trip in Europe. Their teacher allowed me to join them for the day, we went to a museum and a restaurant and it was pretty fun once I found them, at least.
It was also really funny because her coursemates initially mistook me to be multiple years younger than I am. Flattering, really :]
I had to use public transport without knowing French and am proud to announce I only took the wrong bus once.

I would love to meet up with more folks one day, and I'd be lying if I said that I'm not secretly still hoping CS will have another hangout at a con one day, like the one at Anthrocon all those years ago.

I really love this question because CS staff have been fantastic friends and a great support system for me recently. We chatter away daily and we've started to play games pretty regularly now, which is super fun. I need to get a screenshot of all the omods running around playing Among Us together; I dare say we've gotten pretty good. >:)

I also just met a staff friend in person for the first time last weekend! <3 We stayed outside and wore our masks, of course, and it was so fun.

From one of our first Among Us games:


This is not entirely representative, we have a lot of people coming in and out, so this is only a small portion of our normal staff players :)

Aside from that, yes, we are friends! I actually have plans to see Nadine in the near-ish future once this whole pandemic things gets a little easier, and have been friends with Nads for a long time. Beyond that though, I really enjoy EVERYONE on staff, they are all incredibly amazing, even if Dia. is a stone cold killer in Among Us <3 The recent game nights have been a fantastic way to get to know people too! I feel closer to the team than I ever have before really.

Give 'em snaccs and they love you again, that's how they roll.

Quite a lot of names were already added to the CS wiki. =)
It gets updated from time to time, but not immediately as many pets are lacking names yet.
We also have a few name guides in the CS discussion forum.

As someone with very few friends in real life, I can confidently say I consider other staffers to be my very good friends.
I look forward to every game night(probably my only real outside of my immediate family interaction these days) and enjoy all of the crazy shenanigans we get up to!
I haven't yet met anyone in real life, but I hope to someday once things settle down and my kids are a little older and less of a handful.
