Full Version: The SalCast Wants YOU!
Sal's RuneScape Forum > Forum & Site Talk > Website & Forum Announcements
One
Hello everyone, you might remember that in the last released SalCast episode (SC14), we mentioned something about changes in the way we do things, big changes. Well, there's a lot to explain about these changes, but for various reasons, we're just going to skip over that and get to the lowdown of what's going on here. So, over the past two months (gosh, has it been that long already?!), the SalCast team has been working hard creating and fine-tuning our new system. We've made MANY changes to the way we do things on the SalCast, this is why we are posting this to let you know that we really want you in to make the SalCast a better podcast!

Categories
One of the major changes to the SalCast, is inputting categories into actual podcast to better differentiate our discussion and content. Like the newspaper, each category is run by a Section Head, who accepts applicants to their category, makes sure things are running smoothly in their category, etc. Because there are currently no section heads members will just be evaluated in the same way that has been done previously!

SalCast categories (Available to you!):
  • Forum Discussion
  • Jagex/RuneScape Discussion
  • Entertainment
  • Technology
  • Graphics
  • Literature

Group Changes
Part of the new system of the SalCast is having new groups added, here they are:
  • Salcast Head (1)
  • Co-Head (1)
  • Section Heads (6, one per category)
  • Editors (2)
  • Hosts (Max of 18, 3 per category)
  • Writers (Max of 12, 2 per category)

Applications can be posted here.

This sounds like a fair base. Cohesive and obvious. Kudos.

so how do i make it into team
error404
I suppose it is a fair system, I doubt I will join in the near future, good luck on the next salcast though.
Twist of Fate
Assuming I have the time to commit, I will apply.

Guys, if you do not want the Salcast to be as bad as 'Salcat 14', join and fix it! We've completely rebuilt our organization, and want new people to help with our fresh start!
-REAP-
This is what the Salcast really really needs to stay away from tbh
It should be a few peeps with a general outline just talking about stuff for fun
It'll be easier to listen to
seriously, all the sections(mostly literature and graphics) and crap(especially scripts) doesn't belong in a podcast. It should be in the newspaper
Rachel Elizabeth Dare
I could, and if only if I could find my mic. tongue.gif

Being a writer would be boring for me.
Twist of Fate
Reap, I don't believe they're doing scripts anymore.

I think that if the podcast needs a new group of people to start fresh on, why not? This has been brought up to the newspaper before, and we have not tried it, out of fear those new members would just become inactive.

If these guys want to be brave and go for something new, why not? I'm sure they've discussed the consequences.

Hint: Writers don't write scripts, they go out and find interesting stuff to talk abut. Sections aren't really gonna mean too much, it's just a way for us to find a particular thing to focus on as opposed to jumping in completely illogical (and awful) ways.


Really, the emphasis was supposed to be on finding new hosts for the 'cast. We need more hosts.

I doubt many people will, especially newbie forumers but thats just me. Anyway you can submit an application Here. Be sure to follow the guidelines in the stickied area too wink.gif

I submitted my app, again tongue.gif Hope it gets accepted biggrin.gif
Falcon
It's hilarious how we've already got four apps, and Ent thought we'd only get like five in total xd.gif
-REAP-
So are you guys still going to do the "talk and awkward pause method" or are you actually going to have people talk at teh same time? biggrin.gif
also make sure the hosts have good mics or it kind of ruins the 'cast

and just listen to a good podcast to get ideas

BRITISH ACCENT THAT ISN'T FATALYSM WITH A CRAP MIC: And now for a description of the winner of SOTW 90:
Bluish green sky with 10 blurred buildings in the skyline
Focal is clear and there is some smudging around the render
2px cinema border
render is male wearing a dark grey suit carrying a weapon and wearing a helmet



SAME BRITISH ACCENT: And now for the literature
I really enjoyed the part in of Men and Demons like this:
In the midst of the chaos, a lone human stood. He was known as Vir, and was one of the army’s valiant heroes. He began charging at the demonic leader. Both armies were stunned that a man could do such a thing, to defy a creature of such strength. Unsure of what to do, the Demon Lord smashed his maul against him, but to the shock of both armies, he missed. Vir approached the demon rapidly before finally plunging his spear into the heart of the creature. The beast immediately fell. The demons were in an uproar, and once again both armies charged. The clash that followed was one not to forget: thousands died within minutes, and many more casualties followed.

INTERVIEW:
WOT WAS IT LIKE FOR YEAU TO WROITE THIS MAWSTAPEECE?
(static in background is muted)
(pause)

(worse mic)
it was hard n stuff
(static in background is muted)

etc

Let's simply try it out first at least. I could be the only one talking about it, giving reviews and things like that. At least it's something new to try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but we do plan on creating a playlist so you can see what bit's are where so you can choose where you want to listen from.

@-REAP-, be a little more optimistic ohmy.gif! Thanks for the advice though biggrin.gif!
Please R3try
I guess its a pretty good system. I dont think I will join in the future, but good luck.
redmonke
Sounds good and all, but it means nothing when nobody is actually doing anything.

The plan looks good, but I'm expecting the execution won't be good enough.

Don't worry about it at all. I'm taking care of it, I'm not going to screw anything up. And I certainly won't let Fatal screw things up.
Jordo
I think it's a good plan I just applied but I donn't think i'll get in.
caccy
If you guys are still looking, i would be more than willing to help out. I dont do anything all day besides sleep, and play games.

Mic quality isn't much an issue - as long as it's not awful. Part of an amateur podcast is the lower quality sound, it's just the way things roll.

And we're going to do it as a discussion. (why don't you join, if you have the interest enough to post here frequently?)

well what time would it be

?

If you're talking about for hosting, the hosting times are usually fluent around the hosts' schedules.

And timezones ;)
So usually like... 15:00-16:00 (GMT-5) starting time, and that lasts about 1-2 hours.
