Winston In Game

I am Winston, a SotA Developer. I joined the Catnip Games Team on 24 January 2022.

What I Am Interested In[edit]

Single Systems:

System of Systems:

  • In-game games (gustball, Find Winston)
  • Tournaments (fishing, treasure, PVP)
  • POT Governor tools and information
  • Localization and Translation to languages

Winston Ideas, Events, and Initiatives[edit]

  • Where in New Britannia is Winston? - draft idea for a live event in game with Winston. (26 February 2022)
  • Playing Gustball in Castle Atos - Summon a gustball and play at Castle Atos! Play in the main chamber with goals at East: storage barrels (stack of 6) and West: Table with hammer on top (crafting area) (28 February 2022)

What I Do[edit]

My main role is Data Analysis (DA). I perform DA to:

  • support data-driven decisions
  • support events, tournaments, and contests
  • improve automation

My main focus area is to improve the capabilities of the player community writ large. Areas of impact are:

  • player owned towns and guilds
  • developer and player events management
  • player-created content, e.g., NPC conversationalists

My methods to help the Team and the players are:

  • take a system of systems approach
  • discover through data analytics
  • discover through dialog with players and developers
  • execute using server, client, web, and local user programming

Winston and Winfield[edit]

I publicly state I am also the real-life person behind the player Winfield of PaxLair. When I focus on things in "Winston-mode", I do the above things. When I am in "Winfield-mode", I am simply a player in the SotA and UO communities. I treat Winston and Winfield as cousins, and that is how I refer to each of my characters and their roles.

LinkedIn - Jerome Thompson[edit]

Jerome Thompson on LinkedIn

I am a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel experienced in cyberspace, electrical engineering, intelligence analysis, cyber test and operations, and advanced programs. I also served as a defense contractor for the USAF and DoD in these areas. Total Service: 38 years.

Beyond my traditional career, I have experience in online game development and communities; web-mastering and SharePoint programming; simulators (racing and flying); and mentoring people.

I am extremely interested in helping people succeed. I seek to share my experiences, knowledge, and work ethic where people desire advice and a mentor.
