    Zynga accidentally puts random guy in charge of support, hilarity ensues

    http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/07/zyn...-support-role/

    In select circumstances, until earlier today, the Zynga game Coasterville told users to email a certain address @themepark.com if something went wrong. The problem is that email address didn’t belong to a Zynga employee.

    Now, Eric doesn’t work for Zynga. He tells us he’s never played a Zynga game in his life. When Zynga didn’t reply to his messages pointing out the error, he started doing their job for them. Here’s a selection of his responses to Coasterville players, most of whom had no idea he wasn’t an actual Zynga employee, and who went along with his seemingly helpful requests.

    Such restraint is impressive on his part. I know I would have done something absolutely catastrophic with that power. Funny though.

    Which qualifies him for sainthood, if you ask me. Seeing as anyone who plays zynga games isn't going to be all that computer savvy, a less benevolent person would have had them deleting their Windows files...

    Proof that the mmochamp community can be a bitter and lonely place. What a shame.

    They're a "Facebook games" company, largely known for games like farmville.

    This is pure gold. That guy is a boss. I pretty much lost it at the "MEH" thing.
