What do we have to do in order to get our ads aired?

Information for this will be covered at the xfire meeting, and posted in a summary after (Incase you cant make it). Hang tight, while we still complete the final details. SMILEY

So, what do you project the transmission hours to be? I mean I'd love to be able to jack in at any time during the day and listen to the radio, but unless you have dj's from all timezones and perhaps some backups just in case, you wouldn't be able to do it like that would you?

Wait, does this mean you won't be able to play any music released past 1999? SMILEY

But no, seriously, good move and looking forward to seeing how it goes.

That does many plenty of Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls SMILEY .


But on a side note will you be integrating "advertising" of a sort for various factions (in subliminal ways I'm guessing)? A good way to help newbies in getting into the game as well as keeping vet's appraised of current events.

I was thinking about subliminal faction or Org messages in advertisments.. as long as they are subtle, it'd be good to listen to! Hopefully we won't be stuck in the 90's song wise... there is only so much Spice Girls and backstreet boys I can handle! Perhaps payment required for advertisments (fairly high $i and fair approval needed from RMC) this can go toward funding competitions etc.....

That's kind of the idea. Faction ads will be allowed as long as they're subliminal and bluepill friendly. I mean, we wouldn't want something like "Join ____________, we pwn in Mara C" to air.

 Great Move guys!    Incorporating the radio into the game events really makes the player side experiencing much more fun and immerses you into the action of whats going on.  RfZ did a great job along those lines during the early events like the hunt for Neo's RSI where they were online for hours with multiple dj's at a time calling in their "hovercraft updates" from around the system.

Really sounds excellent, good luck and hope you kick a**!

We'll be offering the chance for all factions to advertise on RMC:Terminal! We'll also have the ads from local businesses. Come join us on the xfire chat on Sunday January 6th at 2:00 pm pacific time to get the full details on how this will work.

That would seriously bite if we only had music up to 1999.  Luckily, we're not doing that. We'll have the latest music releases being played along side others. It really just comes down to the DJ's preferences.

We plan on hiring more DJs, but we also plan to have a DJ bot, which will pick up the feed when our DJs go off the air. The Bot will be choosing and playing music while no other DJ is available.. So when a DJ comes on, they can kick the Bot off the air and take over.  Then when the DJ leaves the DJ Bot will take back over. This will allows us to have music and commercials playing non stop for 24 hours a day

But like I said, if you all want the full scoop on what's to come. Come join us on the Xfire chat. It's Sunday January 6th, 2008. At 2:00 pm pacific time. (That's 5:00 pm Eastern, and 10:00pm GMT) If you want to join, send your xfire username to havocide through pm on the forums.

Hope to see you all there!

On that note if there are any questions that you'd like answered but you cannot make it to the chat, feel free to either PM them to me or post them here in this thread, and we will answer them on Sunday.

Thanks.

Why? I can't think of anything decent made after 1999. SMILEY

I think this is a great idea.  So what will you call it now?

RMC: Algorithm has a nice ring to it.

KRMC would be a nice IC name, but I suppose we'll hammer out those details in due time. SMILEY

Sounds good to me! BTW Timecode, what would the K stand for? I've never understood the American style radio station naming conventions... we have Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  Radio (insert county here) and a few others (and more on digital)

Heh, I was wondering the same thing. Whenever I hear of a radio station in the US, it's always 'you're listening to [utterly bizarre abbreviation beginning with K]!' I never got it. Why not 'Radio Solent' or 'Ocean FM' or something? SMILEY

In this case, of course, you've already got a three letter abbreviation, so stick with the style.
