Playonit55 Reach Out
Welcome to Play On It 55, where exploration meets expertise in the ever-evolving world of interactive gaming. Based in New York City and rooted in a simple but powerful belief—that play is not an escape but a way of making sense—we exist to illuminate the mechanics, strategies, and human moments of competitive and genre-defining games. Whether you’re a seasoned esports athlete, a new-age strategist, or a curious player stepping into ranked for the first time, this is your place. This is the table we’ve set, and there’s room for you here.
This page exists quietly and deliberately—to show you the many ways to reach us, to signal that you’re heard, and to assure you that we treat every message not as noise, but as signal. Because every player interaction matters. Every perspective enriches the strategy. And somewhere in your question may be the seed of our next deep-dive article, conversation, or project.
Our Home Base
At our office nestled on 3711 Redbud Drive, New York, NY 10011, we’re surrounded not just by the dense hum of the city’s ambition but by a commitment to precision and purpose. Our physical location grounds us, but our reach isn’t fenced. Readers, contributors, and collaborators join from all over—drawn to the rhythms of keyboard clicks, controller triggers, guild calls, and the hum of high-performance GPUs.
Open Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM EST
We maintain these hours to allow for care. Care in how we respond. Care in what we produce. And care, always, in how we listen.
Where You Come In
If you’re reaching out with a question, a referral, a pitch, a correction, a memory from a fallen server or a moment of competitive transcendence—we want to hear it. We welcome:
- Reader feedback: Noticed a tactical blind spot in one of our guides? We’ll rerun the tape and revise, responsibly.
- Contributor inquiries: Have your own angle on late-game resource prioritization, or want to dissect pace variation in hybrid PvP/MMO raids? Find your voice and let’s see if it fits. Start your contributor journey at Play On It 55.
- Collaboration proposals: Want to build something new with us? A co-authored piece, a fieldwork strategy panel, a LAN-based study group? Tell us what you’re seeing and imagining.
- Corrections and clarifications: Transparency is part of our joy. If we’ve missed something, we welcome your sharper lens.
How to Reach Us
We aim to keep contact unambiguous and human-centered. Whether you prefer digital pen or direct voice, here are your pathways:
- Email: For thoughtful questions, editing inquiries, or detailed proposals, write us at [email protected].
- Phone: Reach our New York desk at +1 347-724-8651 during business hours.
Every message is routed with care and read thoughtfully. We don’t use automatic replies. If we take time, it’s because your message deserves more than a stock response—it deserves presence of mind, attention to detail, and a reply that clarifies rather than clouds.
What Not to Worry About
Don’t worry about making it perfect. If you’re unsure where to begin, start with what you notice—what made you pause, what gripped you, what eluded you. Precision can come later. We value candor above choreography, and your instinct is a valid place to start.
A Note on Accessibility and Inclusion
We welcome communications in a range of formats and styles. If you use assistive technologies, alternative input formats, or would like to notify us of any access preferences for shared documents, please flag this early—in your subject line or at the start of your message. We will adjust our responses to meet your ease, not ask you to match ours.
Inclusion, for us, is more than demographic reflection. It’s about how we greet unfamiliar frameworks. How we listen to quiet voices. And how we adapt our strategy guides, interfaces, and language to embrace those who’ve been excluded in other spaces.
What Happens Next
Once we receive your message, we aim to reply within 2–3 business days. If your note is editorial or strategic in nature, expect a more layered response—we consider context, collaborative relevance, and editorial bandwidth before replying with substance. If you’re inquiring about contributor tracks or content suggestions, we may pair you with someone from our editorial team for a follow-up dialogue.
And if we say no, we’ll say why. We practice transparent triage, not quiet ghosting. Every response is a sign of respect.
What Has Emerged from Reader Reach-Outs
Some of our most impactful features began with quiet pings: a reader wondering why no FPS maps are built to reward unorthodox vertical movement. A former esport medic sharing protocols for cognitive fatigue during training blocks. A parent asking how to support a teenager in tiered team plays. Simple questions that turned into opportunities to learn—and build something worth sharing.
Meet the Voice Behind It All
Vaelric Tornhaven, the founder of Play On It 55, didn’t set out to build a publishing space. He wanted to make time for questions—why some games change us, why others disappear, how skill is nurtured not just through reflex but reflection. A long-time analyst of competitive multiplayer ecosystems and a quiet mentor to modders and scrim designers, Vaelric still edits long-form case-breakdowns by hand, occasionally drops into PvP queues for live immersion, and reminds us weekly: “The threshold where strategy and kindness overlap is where the best players live.”
Quiet Joy, Shared Where It Counts
We operate on the quiet joy of shared understanding. Ordinary players doing extraordinary things. Professional players holding space for mentorship. Developers listening when their flaws are named gently. Our work is to illuminate these moments with clarity and care—and your messages are an essential part of that picture.
Let’s Keep the Dialogue Going
We look forward to hearing from you—whether by question, correction, or curiosity. Your messages stretch the world forward, pixel by pixel, guide by guide. They are not interruptions; they are invitations. And at Play On It 55, we accept those invitations with gratitude.
