Calling all racers!

So recently we've been talking about ways to expand the channel, and with the new things coming down the pipes, it might be a good idea to at least get on paper some of the things we're going to be doing and who's willing to do what. And since all six of us have access to the channel. That and this thread can be used for more than just recording sessions. So...


-The races-
Editing, scheduling, annotations, playlist sorting: Lantis

-RPGM Plays-
Editing: Kajak
Scheduling: ???
Playlist sorting: Lantis

-Best of 20XX-
Moment selection: Ixzion
Editing: Lantis

-Social Media-
Facebook: ???
Twitter: ???

I am fine taking care of everything related to the main races. Anything else I'm open for letting others from the team taking on. The areas with ??? are open to one or more people, in fact, I recommend we try to get as many people on these things as possible. Also as a group, we've decided on utilizing social media for a long time and have gone without using it at all. I intend on getting this fixed... and I am looking at the ones who pushed to have it introduced on doing something with it. I think it might also help if someone might look into helping Ix out with moment selections. It can be as simple as just throwing time stamps into the comments of the videos, themselves. In fact, maybe whoever takes up social media could push the viewers to help with that as well. Also, there was talk about making an announcement video for the 7th race we're going to be including into the season and I think you guys need to get on that soon. To be honest, I kind of want to take a step back and get you five more involved so that it's not just "Lantis and those five other people."

I think we have a legitimate opportunity to make something of the channel, and while we do this for fun first and foremost, it might be worth doing this right... in case it can actually go somewhere. We've talked about this a little bit, but haven't actually really decided on anything. I'd like you guys to speak up.

I am waiting for the day to see the green light for one or two races being viewers choice. eyes wide open for the wait

Just in case you didn't catch it, Marco:



Also, we're planning to get together saturday to get some stuff recorded. Would like to know ahead of time if this won't be kosher.

much appreciated dude.

Sponsoring a race is also a viable option if the group's willing to run the game and you're willing to shell out the cash. Just make sure they agree to it ahead of time.

The last game of this season was rage-inducing. You guys will love it!

Except for me. I kept my cool the entire time.

... as usual.

Dray, you signed on as Lantis's account again.

¬_¬

It makes me wonder whos the biggest rager out of the group.

That would be Ixzion when he's losing.

Can confirm, it's more of... delusional. I realized this today! We raced a thing.

As we get closer to all the holidays coming up, people are going to be out and about. Getting together to record is going to be a bit sparse. Luckily, we've got a pretty good lead in recordings. The next two weekends, we will have people out, so next time we can get together will be December 5th. Let me know if that's not a good day.

Unless we can guarentee that we'll be done racing by 4pm central time, I won't be able to race tomorrow. Road trip with family to see lights, and tomorrow happens to be our best chance for that.

The game I picked is just an hour long. So if everyone is in place by 2pm, it will be child's play.

I sent everyone a race PM. We're gonna have FUN!

Okay, so having talked with the guys, this thread really doesn't hold much use for us anymore for a planning thread as we've been handling that with PMs. So instead of banishing this thread to the abyss, I'm going to try and retrofit it as a general discussion for the races.

This will now be a medium for the race members and fans to talk about topics that might not quite be worth making an entirely new thread for. Maybe use it for discussion of the latest video, or just general comments you'd like to share with us.

Well, I think that's a great idea. My race thread hasn't been much of use either since all the planning for my races takes place on Skype. In fact, for a while now I started to wonder if another guest race has been a possibility. I mean, the first one went pretty well so maybe it could become a thing. Who knows?!
