Well, now that we have this nice new forum, we may as well use it. Use this thread to apply for an interview with one of our interviewers. Leave your name, and reason to be interviewed (Campaign leader, major project assistant (eg. modeller) all round legend, etc.). Don't leave your ICQ number or IM contact details unless you want to, these can be obtained via PM or E Mail. Interviews are free publicity for whatever you're doing and hell, they're just plain fun :D.
Note that this thread is more to give us an idea about who does wish to be interviewed. Posting here does not guarantee you an interview, nor does not posting here guarantee you won't be approached at some later date. But those who post here will probably have a much better chance of being chosen.
Go go go! :D
-
er well... im a local legend around here... er... well im also a project leader. If it will help with publicity...
-
Me too! Me too!
I'm, as you know, The Project leader for My own Campaign ITHOV and a major part of the T-V War Project. I could always use the exposure for my projects.
-
I single-handedly ported Freespace to FS2! That's an accomplishment.
-
Err.. one of the first Nodewar moderators? :p
Well whatever the case with me I think the whole NW staff should get interviewed, especially Shrike -creator and HLP-manager
-
I just released Deus Ex Machina, I'm a senior member of the T/V War Project, and I'm working on a campaign of my own! :) :D
-
I lead Third Twilight but it's hard to interview myself I guess... :D
BTW what do you think of giving "special" avatars to interviewers? if it's OK, send me the HLP logo and I'll give my best shot.

I'll take him.
And I guess I can interview ToT. You online today? I'll prepare a list of questions, then I'll get to ICQ.
-
I would be the perfect interviewee, because Black Wolf knows which questions to ask :p
Also, since nobody knows anything about what we're doing.
-
I suggest that the initial interviews should aim to get as broad a spectrum as possible. Don't just focus on campaign leaders (as an example).
Anyhow, on that note, I am available for interviews, as long as they're after thursday. Essays = :ick
-
I'm project leader of thye TVWP? What about me?
Forget it. How about interviewing Zylon Bane? He was one of the legends on the VBB. Or how about trying to get DaveB?
-
*ahem* I outvet most of you, and I have- what, twelve posts in the counter? So there, case closed on that one.
Interviews should go to people who have something to teach. If we were just gonna have camp leader interviews, we'd have just about every half-competent, skilless newbie who decided he wanted to TC FreeSpace on his first day lining up, and they'd all be saying the same thing, besides. I say, if you've proven yourself a good modeler/renderer (people like venom, ideally Steak, Ryx, myself (of course)...), and actually want to give an interview (I don't doubt many of the best people wouldn't have something to say, as I know I can't properly explain the things that really come naturally to me), you're a likely candidate. We should keep the number of interviews to a manageable level, and probably not confine it to strictly modding, campaigns, or anything of the sort. Some cool **** gets done here that doesn't really involve computers at all, except maybe a scanner.
What I'd like to see is interviews focussed on techniques and tricks people've learned over the years, rather than the standard "sage advice" I'm sure many would try to give, which just ends up being near-moronically vague an repetitive. Practical stuff to boost parts of what people would otherwise learn by experience. I can volunteer my abilities in high-detail modeling, advanced Photoshop, and the Carrara/Ray Dream setup, say (though ideally not in one interview, but three separate ones- the first general practice and shortcuts, and two "well, here's a bug that makes really freaky things happen..." interviews), and could stand to read a Lightwave one. In other words, tutorial-interviews.
Though I guess it really boils down to whether this is an exercise in self-aggrandizement and advertising, or actual, practical education in a format not really available on the forums
-
Well i know this sounds pedantic, but in the WCSaga project demo i successfully cloned the 1st WC4 mission events, autopilot linkage, and all... Ive been fredding since day one (release) of FS1 in uk and ive never released a mission to public, i just do it cos i enjoy it, Just cos people dont release missions doesn't mean they dont know how guys, btw checked the WCS forum, thanks for the interview guys ;)

Agreed - if this idea can't work without spam, then the topic will simply be deleted. Out of the last 25 posts, there are about 8 that could be considered on topic. If you have a suggestion for an interviewee (including yourself), post the name and reasons here. If you don't, PM somebody, post in Hard Light, do whatever, except post in here. Simple.
I'll delete all off topic posts to keep things organized and let's keep it clean this time and not advance any discussions.
Black Wolf is right - those who want to be interviewed, post the reason why you should be. And I tell you again... "being a local legend" is NOT a reason (exept admins)
Now quit spamming

Intervieuw me i have a good story.........:D ...wont say anything more

I'll take you. PM me some additional info and we'll work it out
-
I can do tut stuff, a I said. Hi-poly modeling and most progs. MAX might be a bit problematic, since I can't run it to confirm what I remember, but pretty much anything else... particularly Ray Dream and Photoshop.
-
Surely you should, um, just 'pick' people to interview?
anyways, I'm always available. Well ,mostly always. Ok, sometimes. You should try and talk to some of the guys who left before I even arrived, like Dark or Zarathud.....
-
All the classical vets need to be interviewed. That is, Icefire, Inquisitor, ZylonBane, Thunder, Orange, Plasma, Dark etc.
Someone might want to try to get interviews of some 'retired' members too. (Mprok, Payne, Tiggeroonie etc. haven't been around I think)
-
i'm around although i'm sure there are more interesting people to talk to, hehe
-
If anyone wants one from me I'm happy to do one - but don't mind if I haven't done enough lately to warrent it :)
-
don't worry, you have done enough already. :) If I can find some time I'll catch you up over ICQ
-
You could interview me about the Swarm War TC......*Looks around nervously*
:nervous:
I'll get my coat...........
-
Hmm...maby i'll get interviewed, we'll see;)
Local legend *AHEM* //ToT and HLP insane one:D
-
do me if you want *shrugs*
-
and the reason... :)
-
i dunno... come up with one
-
Unknown Target: Oooh! ooh! Pick me! Pick Me!
Interviewer: Why?
UT: Uh....
Interviewer: Yes?
UT:Um....candy bar?
Interviewer: (Starts to hug UT) My...god, man, you're brilliant!
UT: I am? Oh, why, no duh!
The Interviewer hugs tighter, and gestures to the sky
Interviwer: We could call it...the Unknown Target Interview!
UT: Um..that sound nice. Would you mind backing up? Or faces are touching.
Interviewer: (Startled) Oh, oh, I'm sorry, it's just that, I was, you know, caught in the moment!
UT: Riiiight....

Amen. I second that. :D
-
Whole NW staff? I...don't think so...:blah:
-
perhaps part of them ;)
-
I wouldn't do all of them.. there's no point.
Perhaps key people, such as Kamikaze or an0n.
hot**** i just got an ambitiously redicclous idea...
[glow=blue] HLP ala New York Times [/glow]
duh it wouldn't be on paper per se, but a weekly newsletter via email would 0wn. Yeah the front page i s nice being updated and all, but it simply doesnt cover everything. I think a weekly/bi weekly/bi monthly news letter that resembles a newspaper would kick ass. Covering everything from Latest Mod news to ads to SCP updates. Call it the lazy mans forum? (I guess it would defeat the purpose of the forums.. but its an idea.)
What do you guys think?
-
I thought about something similar awhile back, and I came to a similar conclusion - it'd take ages, a lot longer than I could probably devote to it, and defeat the purpose of the forums. Shame - it could have been fun :(.
-
Ha! How often is the front page updated as it is? Windrunner would go berserk.
-
gee... you guys seem to be using your "internal forum" quite often ;) every few minutes the "last post" changes :D
-
*ouchies*
Cap'n obvious just clubbed me in the face. :blah:
-
:) lol KT :)
-
:wtf:
-
someone can interview me...but it would have to be over e-mail, as I am not allowed to use IMs in this household :rolleyes:

Also, Cetanu and Woomeister (although he doesn't know yet :p )

What about me and my Swarm War??:(

Reasons why Black Wolf should be interviewed
- He's a very busy boy, working for NTV, the SW TC and Lightning Marshal
- He's in charge of Twisted Infinities, one of the best and least known FS2 campaigns
- He's just started modding FS2 ships into StarCraft
- He's an interviewer (so he knows how to pick a good interviewee
- He uses a weird font colour
- He's... A Local Legend
All in all, quite a good one, I'd say ;)[/color]

*Considers using Moderator powers on the insolent little boy*
*Cringes at the Sight of Thunders Admin powers two posts up*
*Backs off*
Which one are you in charge of?
-
no i was just kidding Black Wolf... feel free to use your moderator powers wherever you want by the way :) :D
well, currently it's not really a project in such, it's more like a database/archive of FAQs, etc. etc. etc. but since i'm two project short now, i'll have a lot more time, and i'm going to complete it very soon. i have ambitions of something in the near future, but i won't tell you about it yet. if you really want to know more then PM or interview me :D
EDIT: No wait, you don't really have a reason to interview me... so forget it, don't
EDIT2: I guess you could interview me on some stuff, like FSSCP, Volitionwatch, my project, and the projects i work (!?) for, Flash, etc.... but there's better candidates than me out there, like Thunder

I think that about sums up what i do and who i am working for. Most times in the evening except for tues and thursday i am on ICQ and MSN. If i ain't, just send me a PM and i will get back to you.
-
Hey VD, ICQ me some time so we can discuss The Interview™

Sorry dude, but I don't know either who you are or what you do so it would be damn hard for me to interview you.
I'll direct others here, don't worry.
-
hmm noone is intrested in interviewing me.. ahh well....
-
Of course we're interested. When the time is right™
-
Whats the point of these interviews? Besides showing off MY IV avatar :D
-
What's the point of living? :p

*Cough*
THE SWARM WAR!!![/COLOR][/b][/u]
*Cough*
I've been banging on about it for ages, and bits of it have been popping up occasionally.
-
Never heard of it. A website could help here...
-
A website wouldn't help because a website doesn't exist and I'm too busy with the rest of the TC to do one. Besides, it would be ****e.
Also, there's not enough 'done' to warrant a website, although there is a lot of stuff that has gone through 'the works.' Mainly design stuff.
Not heard of it...........I've not heard of 90% of the things that people seem to know about!
-
:wtf:
Uuuh...whatever

We (I) can't right now. Waiting for Shrike to do The Thing™
-
what's happening over here?
-
According to BW something "should" happen here soon... but all I see is internal forum posting........
-
they're plotting...
-
Yep, I think someone should interview you BW, of course, I would say that :)
Flipside :)
-
Guys. This place is dead.
You've interviewed everyone with something to pimp.
So, delete the forum and move on.
That goes for the I-War forums too.
-
*raises hand for interview*
Reason 1: I found a way to make ss ani's with Blender (link here) (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,15911.0.html)
Reason 2: I'm a local legend with Blender. (well that's what is sorta said on the 158th staff page :D )
[EDIT]You've interviewed everyone with something to pimp.
But I've got something now too. Ya I'm not just a number anymore!

-
What's so funny? I have contributed to HLP. I think it's my time to shine cause everyone has been interviewed already.
-
it`s so easy name ship and there is more people whos interview i would want see
-
Why do you all want to be interviewed? Do you actually have anything to say? Or do you just want to see your IM messages in here...?
-
yeah you are right raa
-
Not that I have anything to say or show, but I could do an interview if anyone would care to. However, given this sub-forum's absolute silence, I would also be more than happy for it to dissapear. It was a great concept but the community is too small.
-
Or people forgot about it. There are plenty of interviews that can be done. Interview GE about the imminent Silent Threat: Reborn release, interview someone on TVWP about the stuff we're doing, interview some of the newer campaigns (hey, a Free Terran interview would be very amusing). Even re-do some of the old interviews as a progress update.
People just need a kick in the pants to get going again.
-
Remind me in a week to talk to Bor. Cuz' everyone wants to hear what I have to say. :D :p

Yes...but we still haven't got our website folder access. Yuch...
-
I'd love to be interviewed - if only to drum up awareness and perhaps support for The Swarm War!
-
I am the head of the Revolution Project, started by me. I could use some publicity as the campaign grows. I may not get this interview, but there is only one way to find out. More details about my campaign are on my site in my sig.
-
I don't think they're doing them any more.....
-
*quacks*
-
*humps*
-
*writes more tutorial so he can be interviewed*
-
I'd normally interview someone on request, but I'm dirt-stomped this week(heh, for those unfamiliar german/japanese/non-americans - loaded with HW)
Anywayyyz... yeah... I still might be able to fit a person in. Just not Tuesday or Thursday.

Hmmm...should I.....?
Oh well....if you want to.....I'm up for it.
Leader of the DOTA mod..... standard wiseguy and philosopher and an overall fun guy....
Darn...If you do pick me I have no idea what to say...
-
Oh c'mon guys, someone interview 'em and SCP dudes as well. Or I will. When I return.
-
get your acts together. you're as bad as all the other hosted projects
-
Who is? The interviewers or the people applying? (Ie, me?)
-
There's no-one left worth interviewing.......aside from maybe me, but I'd just ignore you guys anyway.

It's getting like the I-War forums.

you can't directly access the I-war forums anymore.. that is unless you click this link

yeah, i remember when the Shivan Swarm (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/forumdisplay.php?&forumid=62) forum was removed from public viewing. i think your list is still pretty accurate though an0n, because most of the forums still have the same id.
it's cool having these hidden 'ghost' forums :D
-
*raises hand for interview*
Anyone else out there?
*echo*
-
I'm here......but ignored....:(
-
*cough cough*
I could actually do some *gasp* interviewing if you guys need a hand...
-
I don't think anyone cares anymore.....
-
How about randomly pickin' people? :)
-
I thought that was the whole point of this thread. People who'd like to be interviewed apply, and then the team pick one (or three) to interview at some point. :)
I think the interview idea is great, as it lets the community know who people are, what they're doing and above all why they're doing it! :D
-
Well they better take me up on my offer soon.. before I change my mind..
-
then-why-doesnt-this-move-along *kicks interviewers* :)
-
Someone interview Bobboau. I'd like to read that. He must have a lot to say these days. Failing that interview someone from the Star Wars or Star Trek mods.
-
You have no idea how long I've been trying to Get Karma on ICQ to do just that.
-
*sniff*
nobody ever asks Reci anything nowadays. We're the elderly leper campaign of the community justnow.......
-
talk about TVWP :rolleyes: :p
-
and who can see any bias in that eh? :p
lol
iv never actually seen an interview to tell the truth... :S
-
You've never seen one before? :)
http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp/category_show.php?cat=66
-
what's the deal guys?
expecting any interviews soon? :)
-
I can't interview anyone ATM - I have no IM access through the uni comps, which is the only net access I have. KT might though.
-
if someone is really bored, grab someone from the FSCZ crew (DC, Hippo, Singh, me if you're really desperate) for an interview on our New, Exciting and Revolutionary product using Patented Space Technology.
