Man, if I had the time and bandwidth to devote to this... and my own machine, of course.
Were I a DJ, I'd be playing some funk, some techno (Propellerheads, Juno reactor), some rock, a crapload of Primus, and whatever else is on my playlist.

Question. If i had a nice connection and stuff, could i run an NS radio server off my comp for you guys? like, when im not using the net? or do you need special stuff?
edit: classical music. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, those guys. And john williams.
This all sound good so far but i wont put much mind into till NS itself is actually out. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> And i also dunno how the #### this wors cuz ive never listened to DoD radio or even knew it existed (sad eh? <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> ) But for now i say goodluck and godspeed. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Oh yes, great idea, with news about the latest tournaments and other things like that. With the music it coud be a bit difficult... i like Iron Maiden, ACDC, Deep Purple, The Eagles, The Who, Running Wild, Iced Earth, NIGHTWISH(great band, you should try some mp3s...) and other things like that... but i hate tecno.... we will find a way im sure...
PS: realy, you should try nightwish, those songs are the bests: -Over the Hills and far away -10th man down -dead boys Poem
I know this is no time for requests <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> would one of the DJ's be willing to play some Jazz everyonce in a while? And im not talking about old school swing or anything, Im talking about progressive jazz. Well I hope one of the DJ's will be willing to, cause Ill be tuned in all the time. BTW, good idea for the first feature show, once FLayra gets some time we could all hear a live interview...

If I get to DJ, I shall be playing Zero7, Air, Royksopp, Telepopmusik, etc, etc. I shall also mix in anything requested that I don't hate (I will play anything as long as it is not numetal, Slipknot, etcetera, or anything depressing*).
I shll also be talking quite a bit, and recounting both my boring personal escapades, NS stories, and taking the mickey out of Mart/Jedisar, etcetera. I just wish I could have it set up so that we could have 2 people on at once.
(*Other than maybe Martin Grech once. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->)
A quick semi-on-topic question: How is the legal situation about music in online-radios? Can you play anything as long as you don't claim it as your own or most the author give permissions or is it a grey area in the laws?
Ramses: The way we can get away with this is how regular radio stations get away with it. There's a statute that says if an internet radio station streams audio and the DJs descretion, and the user/listener cannot choose from a library or database of songs, its alright. Basically. Its all a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> That was a very good question though. And back on topic. Does anyone else have a spare server or two for use, or know of anywhere that'd lend us a hand?
I don't know if I'd be listening to it because the game is already supposed to have background music, and if I'm down on the frontlines I'm going to be more focused on footsteps, my teammates, and the enemy(s) than calling in a request. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
That's not saying I won't give it a try before I say "no", however...
I'll probably be too busy listening to the microphone voices and the background music to be listening to a radio while <i>in-game</i>, but outside of game, I'll listen to it, probably... Oh yeah, and I'll also be busy listening to all the other sound FX, too. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
I'd love to DJ, I'm sure a bunch of you heard my NS Ad, for DoD radio (they play it every once and a while). So, I'd love to contribute in any way possible.
I think its a good idea to do news shows every once and a while, or news breaks every hour or something, maybe if there arnt any DJs online it can play some recordings or something, so that people can always listen, even if it isnt as good without the DJs
Being a DJ is just about being yourself, the best DJ's say what they want when they want. I just don't have a good radio voice, it is too low or something and it distorts to hell making me sound like a mouse being stepped on....

Thats more or less what I'm interested in. But, good luck.
Humaba leads the charge to the hive room, the set up a siege turret, tensions are high as it comes together...
OH NO! a Lvl1 just xenocided in the middle of the squad... thats gonna make a dent in their RP's!
Something like that...
or let let the commander listen to it since he doesn't really need to listen for footsteps and angry player voices.
But, you can run winamp in the BG, and listen to it while in-game.
That's not saying I won't give it a try before I say "no", however...

I'd love to give it a shot.
That and congrats, never knew you were in EGC.
