European Show

Not sure if this has been suggested or discussed, but there are quite a lot of people wanting to get involved with RiM but can't because they're euro zone.
I know that the morning attempted to get us involved, but it was in the middle of the day and pretty awkward for school and work times.

How about giving the ones who want to get involved a chance to have a show in our evening time?
One evening a week perhaps, to get started?
No clue who would be interested, but I've heard it being suggested a few times and figured I'd write up a thread.

I'm up for this, I applied for RiM recently this will help me get online easier than doing it 11PM - 1AM

It has been discussed, but the last time we tried putting one together next to one was up for helping us to put it together.If a few more people are willing to get something together. We will see what we can do.

Alright well I know that me and @Shining Armor are very interested, I think @Eevee would be too, as long as it's during our evening time.
Say, 7 to 9 or something among those lines.

sadly I cannot during the schoolperiod because of naziparents. vacations are fine though :shrug:

I am expressing interest :egghead:

First Europe.

Then Asia.

Then finally, the world.

I'm all for having a Europe show. Give the ponies on the other side of the globe a chance to express themselfs.

This would be awesome.
I'm interested on being on RiM, but because of my schedule and my timezone, I've never found the use for applying myself. If there's a shortage of Euro staff on RiM, I'd be happy to try out for a position.

Seems to me that in order to get this going, all the Europeans who would be interested in listening would end up having to be staff...

Looks like it.
Good for you!

I think this would be a great idea. :) Would be quite neat to have shows that suit the European time zones, it's got my support.

I'd be up for helping in some way as well, if possible. I've been waiting for something like this for ages now, so I'm super excited :D

Sounds like a good/fun idea .:)

Once again, I repeat, we have all loved the idea of having a show put together for our European friends. But we really don't have the members to put together one. :\ It is one thing to be for an idea, it is another to actually work on one.

At the bare minimum, we would need at least three people to run the show. Three to co-host, and one to host (who's duties essentially include knowing how to use our streaming software, being responsible enough to follow RiME's show rules, and being entertaining enough to make the show interesting for viewers). Not to mention, there needs to be a show theme developed, as well as a show name to chose. We will probably have to work on getting auditions together to find co-hosts. And don't get me started on choosing a proper time to actually broadcast... @_@ All-in-all, it takes a good month or so to get a show going after a lot of effort.


Hence why we need some really dedicated people to step forward, because the majority of us simply just don't have the time right now... X/

I for one know how to use streaming software as i have done video game and art live streams in the past. It shouldn't be too hard to get the responsibility side of things considering two staff members are already up for the idea. Plus if the show only airs a few days a week, dedication should be no problem for me at all.

I think this needs more discussion before the idea is chucked out the window.

I'd be happy to dedicate my time and co-host, and I am sure a theme won't be too difficult to come up with

Are you saying I'm not god damn interesting!? /o/

Anyways, as for a theme, Idk if it has to be anything all that spectacular.
Most of us don't get to follow much shows, or any.
So we really don't know much of the stuff discussed in other shows :shrug:

If that's the problem then maybe it'd be best to listen to some of the re-runs or look at our current schedule when there is free time available ;). Or maybe just be the BBC and air completely original content (albeit you will have to be in charge of the schedule for reasons AJ said above). So you'll basically have to be like the CEO of this "branch" of RiM.

I don't think the idea is being chucked out the window, it's just being handed off. AJ just wants to make it clear that there's more to having a show on RiM than just wanting to do a show. There's more than just wanting to do a show and having the people to do it. There's a bunch of pre-planning that goes into creating anything that will be aired on a consistent basis while maintaining a high quality (unless you'll be spending most of your time just airing music).

AJ isn't dismissing the idea, he's just saying that you need to figure out all of the logistics of doing the show and then present THAT as opposed to simply saying, "Let's have a show".

The best thing for y'all to do, if you want an EU show, is for yall (anyone interested in the EU show) to get together on skype and talk out a rough draft for the idea. Come up with a name, topic, time, who would be hosting, etc ect. Then once y'all get that write it down a propose it to one of the producers or heads of a department. Then we can look it over and make modifications if need be.

This is how all the shows were made. So if y'all get together and propose an organized thought out idea for a show', you would be able to get it on air much more easily.

I wasn't expecting everyone to be YEAH LET'S GO ON NEXT WEEK!
With no plan whatsoever, it's clear that it'll be a process.
I was just posting this particular thread to see if there is an interest and if you guys would be okay with letting us set something up and run it.
Seems like you're open to it, so if anyone who's interested in it could add me on skype that'd be peachy. :)

I'm aware of the process and work. It'll be best to create a Skype group with all the people who's interested in a Euro, so we can discuss who will host, the topic(s), structure of the show, the name of the show. And submit what we've discussed and agreed upon in a form to the RiM team. As @Nurse Redheart: suggested.

I'm excited for an opportunity to work on a show like this and participate in the pre-production process.

Yeah, we would be completely willing to hear any pitches if people are willing to put in the time to bring things together. :thumbsup: Please also keep in mind that everyone who may be on the air will need to be auditioned like the rest of those involved in RiM.

Good luck.
