I see an Athyna! -Rushes in to kidnap!-

Er... Waitasec...

Hi EmPulse! Wanted to introduce myself properly, since I'm sure to pester you over something in the future. I'm the General Manager of Split Infinity Radio, with City of Heroes & Villains being our primary game now. ( Huzzah! )

We're always available for announcements, interviews, and events - both text (forum, website, and IRC) along with on-air and in-game capabilities. So if you ever want a quick way to get word out for those that don't read the forums as much as say... Liquid-X... Simply drop a line and it'll get done!

Welcome to the front lines!

But Joooooooooolt! I want my illicit partnerships nooooow!

All righty!

So I know people complain about the silence. Let me explain why its present.

When we do an interview, it is either via phone on Skype, or they come visit us in Ventrilo. Ping runs 31 to 47 on the server, which is nice and low. So there isn't too much trouble there.

But, since there are four people speaking, each will wait a moment to make certain they won't be speaking over anyone else; simple courtesy. Then you have the time it takes for my voice to transmit to them, depending on their lag/ping, and then their response back, depending on my lag/ping. So the silence isn't awkward, but a courtesy to other people in the interview.

Aside from that, I normally edit out the waiting silence in between questions and answers if it is a pre-recorded interview. In this case, it was live, and that wasn't precisely an option.

Also, there actually was a set of questions that were approved by marketing, that we fully went through, and then discussed further topics concerning i12.

I know some of you may not be accustomed to the silence with podcast interviews that are edited and cleaned up, but this is what happens with live radio - especially internet radio. It is simply unavoidable.

Hopefully that helps clear up any issues anyone had.


EDIT: Oh! I forgot. I did offer several places for players to post questions. This thread, SIRadio Forums, Vidiotmap forums, and various private SG forums that I could contact. So the option really was present for people to take advantage of.

I'm gonna slap you around in the D!

Constructive criticism: When interviewing, never never never just bring up a topic, trail off, and hope the guest will elucidate. Ask questions. Throw questions that won't let the guest get away with yes/no answers. Use your questions to control the direction and pacing of the interview. Even the basic techniques in Radio Journalism 104 will make a world of difference.

Much <3 for the constructive criticism! I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

I find one of my largest faults is to have incomplete sentence, word structures, thoughts, etc. I was an interpreter for a long time, and in ASL you drop a lot of those. Bad habit I'm still trying to break!

Thanks muchly guys! <3

What is going to be in I13 so far that he has? O.o >.> <.<

What? They might get tricked by my completely stealthy question and spill a few beans.

I was, indeed, amazed and awed by the absolute stealth surrounding that question.

Yay, I wasn't wrong and didn't make an idjit of meself! <3

Oh how neat! I'll stop by Friday night while on-air.

On the bright side, if you can listen at work, the interview IS safe for work. So go nuts!

Been listening to this interview but I got just one burning question, Why does Positron keep saying issue 13 instead of issue 12? Like he said the VEATs were for issue 13 eventhough they are in issue 12, he said issue 13 on alot of other things.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it was just a mental slip-up. Gotta remember, they work sometimes several issues into the future. So you say i13 around the office all the time, and it can come out instead of saying i12. Y'know?

Wonderslug, you are the sexiest person alive now. Have my e-babies. You have no idea how much I appreciate those points being typed up.

And Ex - Of coooourse Positron and Castle were complete and utter gentlemen. They could be nothing less.

Much <3 for the listeners. So nothing wrong with the ability to download files and listen? I'm always so paranoid about that.

You know despite Jules being nervous as heck (as I kept telling her) and being a poor interviewer, the interview was quite good since Castle and Positron tended to carry almost the entire thing with their awesome development stories.

So Jules doesn't drink... but what was she smokin'?

Don't quit yer day job kiddo -- unless this is your day job!

If I sounded odd, I do apologize. I'm on medicine for rheumatoid arthritis and Lyrica for fibromyalgia, which the dose was just increased. It can seriously impair a person's ability to speak coherently at times.

And no, I'm only the volunteer station manager, FitzSimmons. I'm a library clerk by vocation.

We discussed Powerset Proliferation, went over i12, some listener questions, and a bunch of other things.

I have to work early in the morning, unfortunately. I'll try to get at least the highlights of the interview posted in text tomorrow afternoon.

And here we go!

Just visit the news post on our website to download the interview. I broke it up into two parts, nearly thirty minutes a piece, to hopefully be friendly to the slower connections.

If there's any problems with them, just let me know!

And the interview should be ready for download in approximately an hour! I'll link it in here when ready.

hmmmmm I see a Rick Roll coming ....close to 7 PM ...hehehehe

[/ QUOTE ]

Hrm... Would that be because you're on in 90 minutes? Mebbe mebbe?

So! One of our owners lives in England and the other in Greece. When they started the station, they centered the schedule upon GMT time. (I swear this explanation is going somewhere.)

We also do our sets in three hour blocks. Its friendlier than four, and the listeners aren't satisfied with two. You get the idea.

EST is -5, so 7pm EST = 12am GMT. Just the top of the hour on the GMT schedule, where the day begins. That's why on the main SIRadio.FM website it says 7pm EST.

-Technically- I start then, and can begin gearing up any extra listeners that come in late. It gives everyone a bit of buffer room. I'm clocked in to be harassing Posi and Castle at 8pm EST, though.

We'll have to see if we can get Positron into the IRC again. No Rick Astley for him this time, though. Pffbt, refusing to talk until I play the whole song.

Huzzah, Statesman's Watch is <3!

X, you're gonna kill me one of these days.

Only if straight up insane isn't part of the equation.

Also, y'all don't need to drink on the air, you're crazy enough to start with!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well we have to make up for the lack of inebriation somehow!

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah I listen to a lot of DJs and their webshows and I'm pretty sure Drunk-on-Air is their natural state.
(especially the ones on Idobi)

And yes, we need to get Castle drunk too b/c he Knows things about the Market that he's not telling us...yet

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, I'm all for devs partyin' and relaxing, but SIRadio station policy is no drunk/inebriated by various substances DJs on-air. Doesn't quite help you do your 'job'!

Hrm. Maybe we're the prudes of the internet radio world?

You and I, we have different meanings for that word, I think.

There is a distinct possibility that you're correct...

Slightly more on topic, RUN POSI AND CASTLE! There are no words to describe the insanity. None.
