I spoke with GreyFlcn and he is excited to be a guest if I do a trial show to see if people are intrested. I'm still looking for a host.

I'd be happy to host/co-host it, but I'm gonna be country-hopping a bit this summer, and for whatever reason, my school provided laptop requires administrative access to use TS... I'll search around for a host other than myself though.

Sounds like a good compliment to a community roundtable.

That does sound pretty cool. :) I'd tune in for a Greyflcn interview.

I was hoping to get you also hayoo. So you can talk about the latest stuff in the idea lab.

I would perfer not to host but instead work on research and production of the show.

mag
2005.06.27, 0314
Well, I can think of a few people other'n myself who'd be interested in hosting the show. I'll get into contact with 'em.

Dennis, if you've got any ideas on scheduling, i.e. days and frequency, let me know.

Oh. lol. If you think it would be of interest to people, sure.

Who do you think would be interested mag?

mag
2005.06.27, 0607
Few outfit-mates of mine.

...but what if I don't like coffee? :(

mag
2005.06.27, 1708
Suggestions for a different name then?

Cyphaze
2005.06.27, 1716
Are, you kidding, that's an awesome name. I'm a little verklempt, talk amongst yourselves.

myrtar
2005.06.27, 1720
haha, i'm still bitter that grey thinks the syndicate is 'just another forum.' maybe you changed his mind

BizSAR
2005.06.27, 1736
Heyas!

I'm one of the folks Mag mentioned, and I'm interested. I'm a member of the command staff at Strength And Honour, and help where I can to keep the outfit running. I've been playing PlanetSide regularily since the final closed beta.

I have some real life radio experience doing voices, promos, morning show antics, odd sorts of alternate music shows, remotes, etc. All r/l airwave stuff. I even got to party with Badfinger! Well, that's another story.

You may have heard me on the AGN Community Night occasionally on PSU.

I think I could bring some fun and impartial-ness to the show. I keep a serious eye to the gaming scene (especially PlanetSide, of course) and do some communications work in my job. I have a background in software testing, and know the ins and outs of the software development lifecycle, which comes in really handy here, believe it or not, especially when discussing the details with a dev.

I think I can bring something to the show that has been lacking in other shows...think late-night talk show: fun with a slight serious side. Just enough sweet with just enough salty (or is that my kettle corn? I dunno.).

I'd be honoured to have a shot at it, and welcome a time to do whatever interviews/discussions you might want to have to consider a candidate for the position.

I did have a couple of questions: What type of interviews will be conducted? Are the questions cold, that is, made up just beforehand and not given to the interviewees? Will they be warm, that is, given to the interviewees ahead of time? There's advantages and disadvantages to both methods. Will the questions be primarily from the community at large, or will they be researched by the interviewer and perhaps staff?

I've had some discussions with Mag as to scheduling and such, but what were you planning on for schedule/times, Dennis?

DennisTheMenace
2005.06.29, 0538
I would like biweekly Tuesdays around 1900EST.

The interviewees would talk to the "Writing staff" ahead of time and the "writing staff" would do research on the person and what the person wants to talk about. Then give bullet point questions and facts for the host to come up questions. The host would be expected to talk to the guest before the show and during breaks about what the host wants to talk about so the host gets a feel for the answers.

I want this to be coffee talk. Yes I picked the name for the reference.

No only are you more qualified than I am you understand my dream. Your deffinantly one of the top canidates. I dont want this up to me *shoves burden on martyr*

mag
2005.06.29, 0652
Actually, it'd be up to me as I manage the station...

Which you'd know if martyr hadn't changed my title.

NeoPhoenixTE
2005.06.29, 1516
Man, I'd love to be a guest...but I don't know what the hell I would talk about XD

Are the positions of "guy who's there but only opens his mouth now and then" still available? ;)

BTW, my post about "but what if I don't like coffee?" was total sarcasm. But I'm glad it stirred up some feedback on the name, heh.

mag
2005.06.29, 1837
Actually, I wonder if having 3 hosts would work... One from each empire... Hmm, a possibility at the least.

This would also mean I could get away with calling Dennis a technophile and get away with it. :D

Can I be the sexy assistant?

What if I post pics of me in a thong?

Maybe I can do the Introduction ;) Like the voice for Conon O'brian.

BizSAR
2005.07.03, 0545
I think the idea mo, is to attract listeners.

:p

Tatonarf
2005.07.03, 0610
So when we gonna do this thing? Friday nights at 7EST?

BizSAR
2005.07.03, 0625
Um...I have r/l stuff going on on Fridays a lot of the time. I think I could commit to once, even twice a month if it was during the week. The drawback is that I'm on the West Coast and don't get home from work until 6PM PDT/9PM EDT. Although I could flex my schedule so I get home an hour earlier if need be.

mag
2005.07.03, 2025
The current thought was what Biz mentioned. Once to twice a month on a Friday at around 9PM EST. The idea is to work these in the weeks when we don't have developer interviews or the upcoming community nights. There'll be more information on those once I get back to my house on Tuesday.

Tatonarf
2005.07.03, 2318
oic so it would kinda be like

Dev interview
coffee talk
community night
coffee talk

right mag?

Man I'd god damned love to be a guest, but all I'd want to talk about would be balance issues of PlanetSide...

Mo_Steel

I'd spend my time ranting about Sunderer mowing and ESAB's needing mine immunity and how much CE could be improved and oh god I love OS animation lets get more particles and bug fixing and...

Well, a lot of things.

Tatonarf
2005.07.04, 0243
It would be awesome if we could get Sporkfire.

HELLFISH88
2005.07.04, 0253
Oh i wanna be on. I used to listen to it from PSU until it wouldnt work. =( I want back in on it!

NeoPhoenixTE
2005.07.04, 0304
So many people wanna be guests, heh...

WTF would y'all talk about?

BizSAR
2005.07.04, 0343
Another option would be to gather the leaders of the biggest outfit on each of the 3 factions on each server. Perhaps do a server a show. I've got quite a few questions for them already.

Actually the possibilities are endless. We could have a "caller" ask a question of the guests during a portion of the show, have a regular roundtable, do a point/counterpoint, etc. (gears continuing to turn...many more ideas in the queue)

I'm excited regardless of if I'm picked to host, but of course, I'd love to host. Some of the best t.v. hosts in history were relatively unknown when they started. ;)

mag
2005.07.04, 1647
oic so it would kinda be like

Dev interview
coffee talk
community night

right mag?

Well, I'm looking at options for that fourth slot.

Brainstorming session at #pssrn on Wednesday. 8pm EST.

I've got quite a few questions for them already.I like this idea. Learn some outfit history this way. Have these leaders (or represenatives) talk about what they've done, and each one can have their chance at pimpin their outfit on the air for recruiting.

Biz: Caller number #2, you're on the air.
#2: Yes, Sam, is your uh... *snickers* uh... refrigerator running? *whispered* Mike shut up man he'll hear.
Sam: Uh, I think so, wh-
#2: THEN YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT!!! *breaks out laughing, hangs up*
Biz: Any callers without serious questions, please hang up now.
*all lines hang up*

SO, any word on this? The more I think about it, the more this can be something truly ground-breaking. My IM info. is on the left, and I'll be around in IRC as soon as I remember how to set up this script properly. I've not been on IRC since I was blacklisted and booted off my ISP in '97. Ahh, the "wonder" years...

mag
2005.07.07, 2356
I'm just mulling over things, thinking about how we want to schedule guests. As of now it's pretty much a go. Just a few details to clean-up.

BizSAR
2005.07.08, 0039
Has it been determined who the "writing staff" would be yet? I would assume you'd include the host on it.

mag
2005.07.08, 0045
That's one of those details.

BizSAR
2005.07.08, 0057
right on. Well, regardless of who is picked to host, count me in to help wherever I can. I really think this is going to roll, and roll well.

mag
2005.07.08, 0443
As of right now, Biz, you've got the Host/NC position. Neo, if you'd like and you're able, I'd like to give you the TR position.

And anyone interested in the VS position? Dennis?

DennisTheMenace
2005.07.21, 1542
martyr

NeoPhoenixTE
2005.07.21, 2128
I'd like to and am able to represent the TR.

Spent a whole weekend being the sole represenative, what's another block here n there?

BizSAR
2005.07.21, 2156
Actually, I don't think the 3-way format will be used for the first show. Mag should be announcing something soon.

mag
2005.07.22, 0058
Yep, am now actually... how about that.

Anyway, for this first show, since I couldn't find a VS seat in a timely enough fashion (which will by the way be WNxKenwayy) and due to the nature of the guests, the primary host, BizSAR will be the only panelist for the evening. In future episodes, Neo and Ken will be included.

The show is set to air at 2100 EDT, 1800 PDT. The guests will be martyr and Hayoo, the host will be BizSAR, and there will be a 15 minute period toward the end of the show for questions recieved via IRC.

And finally, I hope to have DJs on prior to and following the show.

Hayoo
2005.07.22, 0120
Makeup! Where's my trailer?

NeoPhoenixTE
2005.07.22, 0250
Okay, I missed dates somehow...

mag
2005.07.22, 0800
Don't worry about it, it was just a necessary logistics change. Like I said, you'll be in the next one.

HELLFISH88
2005.07.22, 0806
give us a LINK to hwre we can listen

mag
2005.07.22, 0822
Well, it's not up yet. Thus making it difficult to listen in. However, when it is up, a link will appear on the Syndicate frontpage.
Huzzah technology!
