[OOC] [Always Open!] - Goldenrod Radio Tower!

<Snipped quote by Experiment 249>

A host is actually a potential position for Sidney. Preferably, I'd have her be a reporter - but since @BurningCold's character wants a similar position, I might as well make her one.

@Rune_Alchemist

Maybe I'm ignorant. What's the differences between a DJ an a radio personality?

@IgnisMendacium Question: does Denni already have an apartment and is looking for a roommate, or is she looking for someone to room with?

@Thundercrash

She has a tiny apartment in goldenrod and should not be able to afford living there yet always makes it by the skin of her teeth.

@IgnisMendacium

A DJ, as far as I know, is someone who you know, plays music and talks with the listeners and stuff occasionally when said music is playing.

A host is someone who lets say...hosts a show of some sort on the radio during a certain number of hours. They...just talk about stuff. Be it weather, recent events, or random stuff that has no relevance to anything. Basically, they're the annoying people who interrupt your music with a bunch of talking whenever its playing~

It's a thing, though I dunno how much of a thing it is any more since I mostly listen to satellite radio nowadays xD

[IgnisMendacium]

I hate to be an know-it-all. But DJ's are kinda a do-it-all position. As I interviewed DJ's for my college application I got to see how much effort they put into one work day. They select the tracks based on a certain standard set by the station. They research all the things they will talk about during their shows. They work practically as stand up comedians nowadays. One of the DJ's I spoke to was even the musical director of his station.

As I have said I don't want to cause trouble or tell people how to role play. Once again... not cool. I'm just hoping to drop some inside the business knowledge to help this be the best pokemon radio show role play ever.

@IgnisMendacium

Except, uh, I know very well that what I said is true because I used to hear it every day on the radio when is as going to my college.

Every morning, from seven to nine, there was a show on the radio called the 'Free Beer and Hotwings Show' Basically, some idiots sat around the radio thing...and talked about stuff. No music at all. Just two hours of them talking, and not playing any music. They don't really do 'DJing' because that's not their job. Its their job to talk about stuff that may or may not be relevant.

So yeah.

While DJ's do exactly what you said, a Show Host is different. Show Hosts don't use music at all for anything, except what they tell the DJ to at certain times if they need it.

EDIT: Apologies if I seem a bit harsh/agitated. I have just woken up and have yet to had any coffee/caffeine/shower yet because the shower is occupied and the coffee hasn't been made yet. >_<

@Bourgeoisie

That particular janitor was an NPC, to set the tone of the first post.

@Experiment 249

Think of it as an opportunity for conflict. Lacking that, we already have a driving force!

@Absolis

So is this everyone's first day, or are we all established workers at the tower?

@Rune_Alchemist

Brutal. I just got up too but I'm a strange night owl/morning bird hybrid who is just happy to have gotten sleep.

I guess there's just no radio stations in my hometown, that do that. All my radio stations are either music stations or talk radio stations there's not really an in between there.

Like said not trying to start an argument just using what knowledge I have from the inside of the industry to help.

I guess in all reality it depends on whether or not we want to be a music station or a hybrid station. Either way technically DJs could do both jobs.

I Unno not my roleplay

Well, you have to remember. The Radio Tower is probably bigger than what it is in the games. Even then, there's more than one show/station being hosted there.

So there could very well be a talk show of some sort. Although, if it was a sole talk show Sidney would probably need a co-host to harass work with for it to work well.

[Absolis]

@Bourgeoisie

I'm going with it being everyone's first day, because of the interviews. What closed it for a little bit will be left to the imagination. Was it the rocket attack? Did a tornado hit? A pokemon rampage?

Did the director spill his coffee on himself!?

But yeah, as I said.

@Rune_Alchemist

I'm working under the assumption there would be more. But, as it's just reopening, that gives us time to get the characters settled in to what they would be doing. If people get confused, I might NPC a director to try and set a path, though I do want my involvement in doing that to be very minimal. Ideally, another player would sign up to play a director, and he could do all that.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Absolis
So it's the first day then, and no ones started working yet? I'll have Sidney have been hired to host a talk show, then, if that's alright.

[Absolis]

@Rune_Alchemist

It is perfectly alright!

@Rune_Alchemist

Then she can go meet her sound engineer who's gonna make her sound like Johto's most eligible bachelorette :)

[BurningCold]

@Rune_Alchemist There can be two reporters you know. It's not like I made Marcus to swoop in and steal your preferred role or anything. A team of reporters would likely be more efficient than a single lone wolf anyways. Perhaps @Absolis could make a host character? It's the most fitting role for a GM.

@Thundercrash

Pfft~

Sidney doesn't need a sound engineer to sound like that.

According to her at least~
She's the best thing in all the regions, no fancy audio magic required~ xD

@BurningCold

Nah.

I want this, so it's fine.

If anything, your character can bring Sidney juicy stories, and then she can make the most outlandish, heavily exaggerated story truthful and accurate story in history~

[BurningCold]

@Rune_Alchemist Well alright then, if you're doing this for you and not for the "good of the roleplay" or something weird like that, I don't see an issue.

That being said...

How is finding news stories going to be handled exactly?

Am I going to just fabricate an event and then write my character into it appropriately, or should this be handled a different way. I am a bit unsure at the moment.

@BurningCold

I mean, knowing Sid, when she's not running her mouth off on the talk show and stuff, she's going to be sticking her nose where it doesn't belong in her free time xD

I made the decision mostly because she'll do it anyways, since its more of a hobby of hers to do something like that, rather than a job.

@Rune_Alchemist

Do not argue with The Goddess of Sound! Else she will make you sound like a horde of Graveler coming down a mountain! XD

If you've got the skills to pull it off, then there's nothing wrong with taking good and making it better :)

Unfortunately, even if she did that Sid would totally roll with it and attempt to flirt with the audience with her new voice~ xD

Gaia too, of course. Hope she likes being flirted with xP

Too late~

She flirts with just about everything with legs. So yeah~ xD

[Absolis]

@BurningCold

Events can be fabricated, as long as they aren't too too outlandish. Which, is hard to do for pokemon, so throw ideas for stuff to report about at the wall, and see what sticks. If you think it would go into the too outlandish, go ahead and ask on OOC, maybe some of the other players will give opinions.
