Another idea - Monkey Interrogation

A load of us Monkeys conference together on a Skype call for an hour and I ask you all questions on free RPGs. We record it and upload it. I give out some of the question before so you can have a think and come primed. I'll ask the questions, you'll be forced to answer them. Last about an hour max. For fun. Only really needs me and two others to work.

Should there be an upper limit on numbers? Thoughts?

I think that's awesome. If there's a lot of demand you can do it several different times, or in a row (if you're up to that) and then upload them every so often.

This is also my volunteering for that.

Cool, koi! We'll do it one Sunday evening (GMT) so that it'll be around lunchtime / afternoon for you chaps.

Do you have a British-sort-of-Canadian accent or a French-sort-of-Canadian accent? I promise I won't laugh if its a French sort.

Also, if we all found it a bit of a laugh, we'd do a few so those who can't attend the first one can have a go.

We might have to push it back, mainly because I just moved and my internet doesn't get into the place until the 11th.

Also, I have an British-sort-of-Canadian accent, which means I sound like a North Eastern American with some words that are out of place for there. I do, despite my best intentions, get often called out for the "Aboot" and "Oot" when I'm doing cons in the states. Though I do speak French.

Woah! I did say on a Sunday, koi! :) Let' get the idea Monkeys to wrack their typewriter grey matter and see what we come up with.

How many hours -GMT are you?

5-GMT

And you did see a Sunday, I was so excited I read "next Sunday." Shows you what kind of mindset I'm in. ^_^

This is a scary thought. I think I'd get an F-- on this interrogation.

Sounds like a great idea, but I have a terrible mexican-sort-of-don't-know-what accent! I bet you won't understand me.

(I'm GMT -6)

Sounds interesting, though I'd need to borrow a computer since mine has neither a web cam or microphone at the moment. One of my brothers should have one that meets the requirements though. The Chicago areas is currently -6 GMT (The joys of DST).

I've got the nigh standard Midwest accent most of our news casters are trained to use. Provided I'm not wearing my gas mask, I should be pretty easy to understand. Indeed, I've been told numerous times I've got a great face for radio...

Addressing the matters of how this works - it depends on what you want to ask. I'd imagine an hour is a bit cramped if you want to interview three or four people, but if its just a round table of short questions or "know your mods" we could do more. Have you thought of any questions yet, or are you just checking for interest?
