Looking forward to the podcast!

Alright, I'm definitely supporting this. It sounds like a sweet idea.

You should see if you can get an interview with Rommil or Pawn, considering that they have threatened to quit over the CE market controversy this week.

It seems I was looking for the right time, but not the right time zone....
Shidara, PST is three hours behind EST. Sigh...

Shidara is appalled at that display of failure.

Oh well... Maybe next time.

Shidara - Hey don't worry about it. We're hoping to live stream again next week (no promises, but...). The episode should be on iTunes in three days or so? Something like that.

Princeberton - As much as the live stream is free, the podcast will always be free.

Rommil

Hiya

Rommil here,
I'm so scared to ask this (please please please don't permaban me for asking this OOO).
I would sincerely ask that you have pawn on. As his identical twin brother and roommate, i know he would greatly appreciate it. He would greatly love to discuss the indecencies and ridiculousness of his forum permabann, as well as the facts around it's happening. Also, the effect of the infinitive crown glitch that hit SK last week. He needs and wants a sounding board. The outrage of the situation has been lost in a sea of forum threads and simply must be addressed. He would love to discuss his love of the game, his sadness at balls being dropped, and much more.

~he was just a pawn. Who was not allowed to say goodbye to the community.

Wed, 10/03/2012 - 23:22

#20

Rommil

I believe this is one of the most significant events to hit SK and the forums.
If you have an email, plz email rommypoo@yahoo.com and i'll let him discuss this with you thru my sk inspired email address--we can organize a great podcast with intelligent questions and answers. It will be fantastic.

Lord-Hood

Well,

I haven’t talked to Latisan about this, so I don’t know what he will say, but this is what I recommend. According to the forum rule you are not supposed to “Use the forum to protest a support action, such as a ban. Use the Support Email form to report disputes regarding staff actions so that your issue can be escalated quickly and appropriately.” I would love to talk about the game with Pawn, as I know he is experienced with it, but this isn’t really what the show is about. This may not be my final answer, but for now, until it is investigated further, the answer is no. I don't know the full story, but if you wish, you can email me at arsenalpodcastsk@gmail.com. I'm not trying to insensitive, but I like to hear all sides of a story before I decide on anything. I hope this seems fair to you.
Sincerely, Lord_Hood

Rommil

Rommil, if you see Hood's post before my email, know this. You did break the forum rules and we are wary of such people. However, we are interested if you have something good to say, so please reply to my email and we might consider you on the show.

The email is, however, your only chance. Answer truthfully.

Rommil

@Latisan-Sklay

I broke the forum rules? Or do you mean pawn broke them? errrr, have you read the forums recently? I don't think there is a single thread where someone hasn't broken a forum rule...
In fact, in your very post #23 you broke the forum rules by naming and shaming me!!! So now maybe you understand Pawn's stance on the inefficiency and subjective upholding of forum rules. And why he is upset that one of his "3 warnings" was for saying "bump" in a thread after someone complained about bumps.
There is a very gray amount of enforcement and it is done more on a personal level than a judicial level in Pawn's opinion.

@Phantomhamachi2:15 PM PST

@Phantomhamachi
Whoops! I was being a stoop and got it backwards!
The correct time is 5:15 PM EST (UTC/GMT -5) for 2:15 PM PST (UTC/GMT -8).
Though as mentioned by Latisan-Sklay, the podcast is going live in EST, so there is no need to compare EST and PST.
If you meant from 2:15 PM EST to PST, that would be 11:15 AM PST.

@Rommil
Having a group of people ignoring the rules doesn't mean they aren't being watched or that you are allowed to do the same. Latisan-Sklay pointing out what you did is not naming and shaming, it's simply pointing out an observation in response to your previous post. I am sorry about what happened to Pawn, but this isn't something you should make an uproar about on a public board. It is encouraged that you deal with this issue with the support staff in private.

Latisan-Sklay

For everyone.

@ Phantomhamachi - To clarify, we're planning to stream at 2:15 PM (so after lunch) this Sunday (at the end of the week) in the Eastern Time Zone (New York and Atlanta). In GMT, that is GMT -5.

@ Shidara - Thank you very much for your insight into the Rommil/Pawn issue. Couldn't have said it better myself.

@ Rommil/Pawn - Go read Shidara's post to you. To clarify, you will not be invited on the show, and I would kindly ask that you stay off our thread from here on out. Eurydice listens to the show and reads this thread, and if you pop up again, I will personally let her know. Please back off.

@ Everyone - Sorry for the bit of drama flitting about. Hopefully, we'll see you on Sunday, eh? We'd still love to hear about your ideas beforehand, since we can't do the podcast without them.

.......

This seems interesting.... I don't know whether I'll be able to catch the shows, I'll have to work out the time zones for me, but I'll do that later, when it isn't past 3am....

Either way I'm about to listen to Episode one so I guess I'll check back later, I do wish you guys the best however since not much positivity has been on the forums as of late and this will bring a breathe of fresh air for some of us.

"Arsenal"

Visiting my father's parents and helping clean out their garage - my grandfather is in the living room watching soccer. Arsenal is playing.

When I stared this thread, I used the wrong Twitter link - linked it to Arsenal, the soccer team. Eurydice fixed it for me (thanks again!), but hey... who know that would happen?

As for all of the pages, I still need to finish and publish them, which is taking some time (bugs with WordPress). We'll send out an announcement when the Arsenal page gets completed and published, because with it comes iTunes. Looking forward to that.

Hey Boy of the 500th Post.

Yes. I would very much like the same thing. I'm trying to clean up our Arsenal page on the website (that is to say, fix a major bug on the link). I know what to do, but it's just going to take a bit of time. Once we get the page up, we can link iTunes to it via RSS.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Hoping to finish the site up either this week or the week after.

Candy Farming and c3

What's up guys?

Ok so it looks like we're going to be online at about 3 PM EST (GMT-4) this Saturday October 27 to do a lil candy farming. We'll probably go for a couple of hours, but it's always hard to tell these things for sure.

If you want to stay hooked in with the group on Saturday, go ahead and grab c3, which is a voice and chat application built for gaming. Both podcast hosts have been using c3 for over a year now, and they think it works great.

The channel link for the Arsenal is: http://c3links.com/?j4NwGca8

Hope to see you Saturday!

PS - We may try something of this sort on Friday as well, if we can pull it off. Announcement to come if it happens.
