First Radio Amity meeting has finished!! To recap, here is the mechanics for how you can start your own radio show! Please post it here when you launch any Radio Club threads, thanks!!
OOC
Our first meeting is WRAPPED! What now??
By "Moonday," he means any time you feel like it! Assume Enzo has given your character a run-down on how to use the AV room equipment- whether they retain this information, understand his archaic-slang riddled explanations, or had prior experience is up to you!
At any point you are inspired, simply start a thread with an intro to your show. If you want an RP point, remember it must be 800 words! You are more than welcome to make your radio program a solo involving rants on air, so long as you meet this requirement. Otherwise, simply mark your program as a [RADIO ORP] Where people can join in as a caller. Please see below for an example of how to set it up- feel free to gank my mechanics, or make up your own! It will be up to your character to manage your callers! You are also free to have a small team or a partner for your show! On-Air banter is always very popular!
wink After starting your thread, please link it in the Radio Amity OOC Plotting thread!
Radio Rules:Please make sure to, of course, follow the Gaia and Shop TOS and rules!
If your program brings something that might upset the Amityville School Staff and get Enzo (and/or your character) in trouble, be prepared to act out the repercussions, or possibly be booted from the club. We run a clean game here!
In order to have a radio program you MUST have attended at least one group Radio Amity meeting! Special requests may be sent to Enzo (Just PM me) if you missed it but want to join on board.
Regular and popular shows will get IC perks in the future!
A Sample Radio Post:Subject:
[RADIO ORP] Rat Man's Jazz Hour (ON AIR)A BANNER WOULD GO HERE OF SOME SORT! Well hello there Listeners, an intro would go in here explaining who you are and what you're all about. If there's any intro music, it's explained or linked here too. Give the audience a good taste of who you are and what you're all about and what they can expect by listening in.
Today we're gonna' be talking about the state of music in this day and age. What makes what the hippest? What's in? What's out? Where has all the Jazz gone? A good swingin' beat and crazy sax solos, man, that's what music today's missin'. A state of mystery. It's all "Oh, Baby Baby" these days. What do you all think?
THE OOC:Callers: The status of the line will be kept in any recent post! If someone is already called in, feel free to make a "Listening in" post- where is your character currently, what are they thinking about the show, or their motivation for calling! Simply say they are "on hold" while continuing to listen. Anyone at home can post! Even groups of friends doing homework together listening in can respond together! You will be QUOTED and prompted with a hello of some sort when it is your turn to be on live!
IF YOU ARE ON AIR Please make any dialogue in
BOLD BLUE so listeners can easily know what they're listening to!
Contests: A Caller number may be rolled at any point! Whoever manages to "Call in" with a legitimate RP post (must be at least 20 words, or visibly two full sentences) and is that Caller WINS! If the line is BUSY you are welcome to Call Back and boost the count! NO RESERVING POSTS! If you get sniped? Too bad, try again next time! So stay tuned for your chance to win!
OOC
THE ABOVE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE! Feel free to do it however you like, but there is some food for thought! Any questions, concerns, or advice needed, just pop me a PM! Hope to see you on the airwaves and hope to see you at Fright Night!
