Subspace interviews

[Killerbot]

I thought maybe it would be nice to interview the people who contributed alot to the subspace community for the subspace wiki. Ofcourse the questions will be regarding their history within the subspace community.

Isn't there already a nice collection of Continuum VIP interviews on SSDL?

[Killerbot]

not that I know off

[Aceflyer]

Here they are.

[Killerbot]

They are outdated, I think? And there are more people than interviewed on sswiki..

One could, in theory, redo these interviews, although for some of these people they haven't been really active in recent times.

 

I do see how more people could be interviewed. Ghost Ship and PriitK are two obvious examples.

Ghost Ship won't be too hard to get in contact with but PriitK.. you know.

[Killerbot]

I'm willing to do this for the wiki, and there are many more than GS and Priit, maybe some of the zone owners of the bigger zones? Think we should make a category:interviews, or add to player pages? imo player pages is best place to put these..

 

let me know what you think, also, some of the Q's could be ripped from the former interviews from ssdl

[jacob hunter!]

or interveiw the most easiest people to contact... Like hoch and mikethenose

[Aceflyer]

Dr Brain - SSCE Hyperspace, ASSS Server Developer

Ghost Ship - SSC Network

grelminar - ASSS Server Programmer

Hoch - SSCU Death Star Battle, SSC BanG Op

Zeus - SSCU Extreme Games

 

Comments and suggestions are welcome, of course. This is just a list I compiled in a few minutes, so there are bound to be problems with it.

Smong - beneficial bot developer

Snrrrub - broke most of the continuum encription

Death+ - one of the best hosts SS has had

Confess+ - Also provided hosting for those in need

Cancer+ - And again...

Jericho24. - and once more, plus has played for a very long time...

 

It's easy to forget people who've just spent a !@#$%^&* of a long time devoting to this game, just because they've not been corner stones doesn't mean they should fade into the background..

 

I say interview every host, every bot developer who's made something useful, every good mapper, settings developer, graphics developer... It will take a while, but it's something to do at least.

We may want to have somebody come up with a generic set of questions for people to fill out, then have more personalized ones as an add on

[»CypherJF]

I would fill out some questions, I think.

[Hakaku]

Polix had asked for questions, since SSCentral was going to incorporate a 20-Questions (interview) section. I don't know if he'll ever finish the idea, but at least this is a good place to start:

Beat me to it...

 

I think he was indeed planning something along these lines.

[Killerbot]

Very useful questions indeed :> so do you guys think we should do this?

[CRe]

Yeh we should do it

[Aceflyer]

I don't see why not.

[Killerbot]

Ok, let's get to work Ill make a list of Q's

[»1587200]

No one ever lists Argyle or 1stStrike on their Interview lists...

[Hakaku]

Seriously though, we could list the world; but we can't interview the world. Take some notable players, and take some other random people (discover what new players think of Continuum to this date, what old players think). But you're not forced to go down Polix's way (he wanted a set of the same 20 questions for everyone), you could add specific questions relating to the person in mind, similar to SSDownload's interviews.

[Aceflyer]

I say interview every host, every bot developer who's made something useful, every good mapper, settings developer, graphics developer... It will take a while, but it's something to do at least.

 

While a laudable goal, that's going to be nearly impossible to do in practice.

I think that's also a very good idea, interview some random players on what they think of subspace

Add to the list

 

Argyle: He owns the SSCI server

1stStrike: Zone owner and SSCI Admin for years

Altec: Owned SSB and SSN, hosted pretty much every zone he could help

You can take SVS off the list, as he's pretty much a disgrace.
