{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 11:51, 12 April 2014 (UTC)|default=Here's the pages I think we should keep for the magazine, aside from the cover, contents, and three news pages (one for KH, two for both Wikis). Note that I don't think the magazine should include Featured Articles since they have their own dedicated sections on the Wiki anyway.
''See [[Forum:Magazine and Podcast!/Archive 1#Magazine]]''
*Special Editor Page: Topic and writer changes entirely from issue to issue (e.g. in one edition it could be a theory while in another, it could be an analysis of all Sora's costumes) FinalRest came up with this idea.
*Dive to the Heart: FinalRest came up with an idea of a game tutorial and a wiki tutorial, however considering we have a Wiki's worth of information (and we even have walkthroughs now!) the game tutorial will be pointless. We should probably focus on the wiki tutorial (e.g. customising talk bubbles or different ways of linking)
*Round Room: FinalRest's idea of a staff roundtable with quotations and dialogue between staff. What conversation topics could we have, though?
*User Page (unnamed): FR's idea. It will contain a user interview (about what, we need to figure out), top 5 list (e.g. top five magic commands) and a review, which doesn't always have to be about games. We have other topics too like mangas, battle abilities and gameplay mechanics.
*The Game Grid: FR's idea: place for puzzles and riddles. I think we could perhaps host competitions around them and give out accolades to the winner.
*Interactive Page: FR's idea: it would have a mailbag and FR also had ideas of "5 tasks for khwiki.com", "5 tasks for the Keyhole" and "5 tasks for KH games". I don't entirely understand what those would be so perhaps we should replace it with a poll.


So what do you think guys? We need everyone's opinions and ideas so this project doesn't die out again!}}
===Crunch Time===
''See [[Forum talk:Magazine and Podcast!]]''


{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=02:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)|text=I think for the Interactive Page, FR might have meant 5 tasks that we want users to do for the KHWiki, 5 tasks needed for the Keyhole, and 5 challenges to do in "X" game(s), where X is any or many of the Kingdom Hearts games. By the way, just thought we should have an area for people to sign-up for the magazine.}}
====Final Publication Details====


{{Chainoffire|time=[[File:Eternal_Flames_KHD.png|30px]]'''[[User:Chainoffire|<font color=orange><big>Chain</big>]]</font>[[User talk:Chainoffire|<font color=#B22222><big>offire</big>]]'''</font>[[File:Pizza Cut KHD.png|20px]] 03:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)|xemnas=I was wondering what happened to this project. Maybe we could have a page (or fit somewhere on the page) with a user's fanart. (KH-universe related of course.) There would have to be a few rules in place, but if someone wants to submit a drawing of Sora or something, there could be a user that would take submissions through email, and put it in the appropriate dedicated section.
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:05, 29 June 2014 (UTC)|angry=Whee! Issue #1 is a go.


We could have a section that advertises The Mirage arena and The Underdrome, like "This weeks fights" and they could like to the arenas.
If we only have one piece for the KM, it's not a bad thing; it means we can go with FR's plan. Also, has the template been copied onto the Keyhole yet? Is the Keyhole advertising the magazine?}}


"The magazine will be coded on the Wiki and the podcast will be in the form of an .ogg file." By "the wiki" are you referring to khwiki.com, The Keyhole, or both?
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=01:27, 29 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=There currently is no mention of the magazine on the Keyhole. If you guys need help over there, just tell us. I, for one, am ready to help.}}


"Who can write the coding?" Since the main structure is pretty much completed (from what I can tell) Different users can edit different pages. Perhaps a sign up list is in order if there isn't one already? (I feel like we did do this, but I can't remember ._.)
I got the Keyhole handled. I'll advertise when the issue is actually out. I still need to know what images can be uploaded here. Oh, and we might wanna archive this page. :P {{User:FinalRest/Sig}} 04:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)


This was going to be released bimonthly correct?
Thanks for updating the template, KSM. I just noticed I updated the wrong place as you made the edit. >_> I have made a [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Flick_Rush_Medal task medal] on the Keyhole, if someone wants to copy the coding over here. {{User:FinalRest/Sig}} 15:54, 30 June 2014 (UTC)


I think that once things get going, this should be put on the site notice at the top of every page?
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=16:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Forum has been archived, though we may need a new forum to archive, 'cuz now the talk page needs archiving (that's where I put the archives to this forum). Also, I apologize, FR, for having forgotten to mention you in the Template:Magazine for your contributions, you truly deserve it. Regarding the Template, I guess we could copy it here. I don't see why not, just that people may not use it (they may just display it in the body of their userpage rather than with the template.}}


Why isn't this stickied? This seems rather important from what I can see.}}
Oh, it's no problem, KSM. XD So I automatically went little corner medal for the Flick Rush, but do you think a box reward would be better? Something like the rewards for the merge project you did here? {{User:FinalRest/Sig}} 16:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC)


:Okay, I've got up with some ideas: first, what about the user page being called, "The Keyblade Master" or something like that? Mirage Arena and Underdrome current battles will be held at the same pages of their news. And that's it for now :) - {{User:MateusinhoEX/SigTemplate}} 13:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=16:41, 30 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Well, I'll still copy the template over. Just in case.}}


{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 13:18, 13 April 2014 (UTC)|default=A fanart page sounds good ("Namine's Sketchbook" would be the obvious title) since readers can make requests through the mailbag. We could have a section for the Mirage Arena and Underdrome but considering each issue will be released after three month, we'll need a tournament bracket to fill in the last three months and then a "This week's fight" for the next upcoming ones. About having the "5 tasks", I don't think we need them as projects sounds like something that should go in the wiki summary of what's been happening in the past three months. "The Keyblade Master" sounds great.
{{neumannz|time=17:55, 30 June 2014 (UTC)|text=Start archiving to [[Forum:Magazine and Podcast!/Archive 1]], etc.}}


I'm not sure what wiki will host the magazine yet. Which Wiki already gets more visitors? I think the one with less visitors should host it so that more traffic can come its way, as long as the Wiki with more visitors advertises and links to the magazine on the main page. Also, the initial plan was it was going to be released bimonthly but in a roundtable we decided to have it every quarter year. That way, the news sections have a chance to be more fleshed out and we have more time to actually write the thing. In other words, we favoured four issues that had oompth, in a year, rather than six slightly lackluster ones.
{{UnknownChaser|time=18:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)|black=Podcast is being uploaded, should be done in the next 3-4 hours, depending on how my internet hates me. Here's the url link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_YMQnHla0 to be used when its up.}}


This thread could be stickied and site noticed but we need an admin for that (*hint hint*) :P
{{Chainoffire|time={{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 08:53, 1 July 2014 (UTC)|roxas=We did it guys! Now we wait for the next season.}}


In other news, I added a list of posts we'll need to be more specific since a general sign-up list usually doesn't go well as people don't know what their individual job is. People should change posts each issue to keep things fresh. I also thought of an idea for the puzzle/riddle competition. What we could do is make the readers email their answers through the mailbag and then, we'll get all the names of the people who were correct and give them accolades for their user pages. The interesting part is we pick one of the names out of a hat (or in the internet's case, a random name generator) and give them the "golden" prize, which is having their name featured on the next magazine issue. Thoughts?
{{FinalRest|time=13:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC)|happy3=Wow, guys, just... wow. It. Looks. Awesome.}}


'''EDIT:''' To ensure this project doesn't die out again, here's the list of pages we'll need for the magazine:
===Template Talk===
*Cover
{{FinalRest|time=05:58, 14 June 2014 (UTC)|happy=New section to keep the template separate from the article discussion. Also, I apologise in advance for the wall of text I know I'm about to type out.
*Contents
*Podcast link + summary.
*"Trinity Archives" (KH News Report)
*"Unlocking the Keyhole "(The Keyhole Report)
*"The Door to Light" (KHWiki.com Report)
*Mirage Arena and Underdrome tournament brackets and "This week's fight"
*"The Keyblade Master" (Special Editor Page)
*"Dive to the Heart" (Wiki tutorial)
*"Round Room" (dialogue between staff)
*"Mark of Mastery" (User interview, top 5 list and review)
*"Naminé's Sketchbook" (Fanart)
*"The Game Grid" (Puzzle/Riddle)
*"Interactive Page" (mailbag and poll) still nameless.
At this moment, we've already worked out the magazine's skeleton. We now need an updated template and we should start writing the actual content (I'm writing mine in my userspace). Remember to add your names to the sign-up above!}}


{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 22:36, 16 April 2014 (UTC)|happy=Update: I've written a draft for the wiki guide and top 5 list [[User:TheFifteenthMember/Workshop|here]]. Keep in mind that the wiki guide will probably look much nicer with breaks and things to make stuff actually look like code. How is it?}}
So, as of yesterday, I have done all I can in regards to the coding of the template. I'm gonna go page by page and list the issues I see/changes I've made/opinions I need for what we have. Please take a look at [[User talk:MateusinhoEX/MagazineTest#Test|the test run]] so you can take a look at what I'm referring to. :) Also note that I am referring to the template ONLY. In other words, if I say a page is done, I mean the code for the page, not the articles/other content within it.


{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=01:25, 17 April 2014 (UTC)|text=Well, I was hoping we could have the magazine hosted on the Keyhole, since it seems to be the one without much traffic nowadays. However, it's seeming like few are interested (Only Chain has come to make any contribution, and I'm sure he's not the only one there).
;Cover + Contents
*Both pages are done and dusted
;Ansem Reports
*This isn't a necessity but I would still appreciate if someone could figure out how to space out the boxes a bit. Basically, I want the boxes to look like [http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/Snozcumsmees/Wiki/Untitled-1copy_zpse12589f2.png this].
*There's still no answer to how to add videos to the template. We can always just include links to trailers and things, but I think being able to include the proper videos would make the journal section (and any other sections with videos) much more visually pleasing.
;Unlocking the Keyhole
*Done
;The Door to Light
*Do ya'll want log sections to match the keyhole?
*Are you scrapping the Command Board section? Cause I'll cut it from the code if you are. :)
;The Coliseum
*Probably our most indecisive page. ;D First, I can't remember if the Recent Battles section was given the go ahead. What do you guys think of that section?
*Ah, the debated Coming Soon sections. We really need to come to final decision with these. I think I'm the only one that likes the images advertising the upcoming contestants, and the preferred method is the banner, right? Well I'm fine with just the same image for each issue, but I'd press for listing the contestants underneath the banners to give people a reason to click there. Basically, we need to click bait. Any ideas for how to do so?
*I spaced out the debate section of the page. Is the convo easy to follow?
*Also with the debate section, is there a way to implement the speech bubble codes into the main template? Not a biggie, but doing so would cut down the mag's article coding quite a bit.
;The Keyblade Master
*Done. All the personalized stuff will be left to whoever the KM is for the issue.
;Dive to the Heart
*Like with the Ansem page, I would like a gap between the boxes if possible.
;The Round Room
*Where are we hosting the audio and video? Let me know so I can add the correct codes in.
*Will the Podcast peeps be taking topic requests? Let me know if I have to add in a section for contact details. :)
*Should I add in a "Starring..." box? You know, a place to list all the people participating in the recording? Or will it be included under the In this episode box?
*Regardless of the outcome of the above, are avatars still going to be used to identify speakers in the video? If so, I'll make sure there's room in the template.
;Mark of Mastery Exam
*Done, I think.
;Naminé's Sketchbook
*Changed the colors a bit. Are they okay?
*I couldn't figure out how to get the boxes to hug the images. Can anyone help? I would like it to look more like [http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/Snozcumsmees/Wiki/2_zps35f26d2b.png this].
*Is all the art we feature on this page going to be from our editors? Or will we feature random fan art? Need to know for coding purposes. ^^
;The Grid
*So I added a little story into the Guess the Beast part, so it was a bit more dynamic than just "Guess the Beast". But it's hella cheesy. XP Feel free to make it... better.
*Riddles! I think we might want to include more. What do you think for a max number?
*The Grid looks barren and I think we need to add some more features. I looked at my original pitch for the page to get some ideas and these were the ideas we had:
:#A Puzzle. Like, a ''proper'' puzzle. Is there anyone here who knows how to make wordfinds or crosswords etc?
:#A KH Skit. The original thinking behind this was like a recurring comic, but in script form... or even if comic form, if someone was willing to whip that up. I was thinking of it being based around the same characters, with room for expansion to a bigger cast. We could do it on KH (The Adventures of Axel! Today's episode: The struggle with fire insurance) or maybe some editors could collaborate on their own adventures (Chainoffire and FinalRest in... Nose Punch III: Fisticuffs!) or even mix the two together (The Adventures of Axel! Today's episode: Why are those two idiots punching each other in the nose?)
:#A one shot voting arena for the readers to participate in in the comments... or talk page, I dunno. We could also use this one to advertise the next issue. For example, in a Namine VS Roxas battle, we could have whoever wins be featured on the next cover, or the subject of one of the next articles etc.
*Those are just the old ideas, so others are welcome. Long story short: we need something else for the Grid page, so it isn't so basic.
;Flick Rush
*Does the format for the mailbag look alright?
*Is the mailbag always going to be one question? Or multiple? If the latter, what is the max number?
*I changed the To Do Lists, to make the tasks smaller than the original ones set, as an example of what they should look like. The idea is that they're small, manageable tasks to encourage editing.
And that's all I've got! I really need opinions on all of the above, so I can put the template aside with the knowledge that we've done all we can to it. Oh, and feel free to comment on anything else you want to change/add. Finally, I apologise to all the editors whose names I've randomly chucked throughout the test. XD}}


Concerning the code, what else needs to be done? MEX seems to have done basically everything, all that's needed is the actual content, from my perspective.
I'm trying out some title banners for the pages. Please take a look at the test page and let me know what you think. :) {{User:FinalRest/Sig}} 10:47, 14 June 2014 (UTC)


What's a mailbag? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I don't get it from context.
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=15:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, first of all, cool title banners. I wish I was that creative. They're just awesome.


Things have sure slowed down since the Roundtable, haven't they? We need to bring this to more people's attention before it dries up again.}}
I'm going to go into the pages that FR has highlighted as having problems.


==Podcast Discussion==
'''Ansem Report''': Finished! I found the code needed , it's a code called "border-spacing". Feel free to play with it all you want. As far as the video(s), the problem was with the pipes (<nowiki>|</nowiki>) in the border code. I fixed it this morning as well. Technically (and I checked), you could just add a video without the border/titles, just the youtube parameters (<nowiki><youtube>YouTube URL here</youtube></nowiki>). It just looks less...appealing.
===Sign-Up===
 
''Sign your name here if you want to take part!''
'''The Door to Light''': I feel like the Logs are out, except for the new users log. I also wish to have the Command Board back, but as FM noted, the contents of it are very redundant to the Trinity Archives. If we bring the Command Board Back, we'd have to get rid of the Trinity Archives. So, I don't know if we want it or not.
*{{User:Chainoffire/sig}}
 
*{{User:Erry/Sig}}
'''The Coliseum''': Again, I feel the Mirage Arena/Underdrome sections need to be reduced a bit, just not too much that they become filler sections or random, out-of-place sections. I really don't like a banner alone. It seems too simple and random.
*{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}}
 
'''Dive to the Heart''': Again, finished with the border spacing code.
 
'''The Round Room''': I really don't know much about the podcast, that seems to be something among the people doing it. Perhaps asking them (ChainofFire) would prove useful...
 
'''Naminé's Sketchbook''': I totally screwed up this page for, like, fifteen minutes. I couldn't get the boxes to hug the image, sorry. My idea (and maybe you can get it to work) is to have the image inside a one cell table inside the table that you coded. That way, the background of the inner, one-cell table would be filled in the yellow/pink gradient, and the background of the outer, existing table would be set to none, to seem transparent and non-existent, even though it's there. Just a thought, though, and it get complicated because it'd be an image within a table within a table within a tabber page designed/coded as another table. Really complicates things, especially with that stupid pipe (<nowiki>|</nowiki>) problem.
 
'''Guess the Beast''': Yeah, the story is really cheesy and childish, but I can't make it any better. As far as any other things, I'm open to most of it. The only thing I have a hard time seeing as lasting is the skit, just because I don't know if we can get enough people interested in writing one up. But if we can, why not? I can't come up with any other ideas at the moment.
 
'''Flick Rush''': I had wondered out loud (I think here or on the draft talk page) about how hard the poll extension would be to install. Again, not entirely sure I like having to go to polldaddy to make our polls, though I guess if we don't have a choice, it's fine. The mailbag looks great, I think a max number would be three.
 
Everything else looks great! Thanks so much on your help, FinalRest, it's really appreciated!}}
 
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 01:50, 15 June 2014 (UTC)|sad=My points:
*'''The Door to Light:''' Yeah, I think we're scrapping all the logs, except the New Users (and that already has its own section anyway). In terms of the Command Board, I got it wrong earlier. The Trinity Archives tells people news of Wiki affairs (i.e. new affiliations), while the Command Board tells people news about projects (such as Mega Project Arise) so we should have both on there.
*'''The Coliseum:''' See what I wrote above under the "Crunch Down" section.
*'''Round Room:''' A "Starring" bar sounds like a good idea. It could even become a "Meet the Cast" where each participant introduces themselves.
*'''Namines Sketchbook''': Ideally it should be our own fanart but if we're at a stretch, we can compile fanart (crediting the painters if needed)
*'''The Grid''': I liked the little story; I thought it was perfect! I think there should be enough riddles to fill the empty space in the box so an arbitrary amount. I could make a crossword but someone will have to help editing the image to make the background transparent and whatnot. I'm not sure the skit will work because it'd be hard making a comic for it (but if we do, it'd be more suited for Namine's Sketchbook). I don't think the voting arena is a good idea because we already have the Coliseum so we don't want any redundancy. Also, we need contact details for the Grid.
 
'''EDIT''': With the crossword, I made an [http://i.imgur.com/4ncMIYS.png example] but someone will need to edit the image to match the Grid style (transparent it, make the text more readable, perhaps recolour it). Is there anything I can do myself bearing in mind the best image editing program I have is MS paint?}}
 
{{FinalRest|time=17:06, 15 June 2014 (UTC)|normal4=I finished all the banners! Are there any you want changed? Let me know what you think would be better and I'll whip it up. If there are no problems with the banners, should I upload them here? If I do, what category should they go under?
 
'''Ansem Report''': *Smothers KSM in hugs* Thanks so much for fixing those! It's always good to have a fresh pair of eyes. ^_^
 
'''The Door to Light''': Okay, no logs for you. :) I think you can just use the Trinity Archives for the Command Board stuff, because if the command board is for project updates, then that falls under wiki news. But if the command board is just a list of all the projects and you guys really want a section for that, then I think we should add that section to Flick Rush, under the to do lists. Also, I'm not sure who did the title logo for Door to Light, but could you please make it so the words fit on one line and up the size to 90 pixels high? Please and thank you!
 
'''Naminé's Sketchbook''': I tried messing around with your idea, KSM, but also had no luck... For the Sketchbook, I also read that the original idea was for it to display ''all'' creative things our editors have been working on. For example, we could include talk bubbles people are proud of, or if the wiki gets a change of skin we can showcase that. Or should we limit it to art only?
 
'''Round Room:''' Okay then, could someone involved in the podcast tell me if a) there's a max number of cast members per episode and b) if you'd want to write bios (which I think is a fun idea).
 
'''Mark of Mastery''': Should we put contact details here for people to suggest ideas for Top 5 or Reviews? Ditto for the Coliseum, but in regards to the debate.
 
'''The Grid''': Haha, I read KSM's comment and was going to try and rewrite it, but if you like it FM, I'll leave it. ^_^ I upped the riddle count to 5, so it fills the box more. And yay for crosswords! What are we thinking for the puzzle section name? And the puzzle makes the page much more interesting. We can store away those other ideas for the future. :) Now, I know we are offering rewards for the to do lists, but do we want to do them for the Grid? We could simplify the process by just creating hover links to reveal the answers.
 
'''Flick Rush''': I upped the mailbox count to three! For the to do lists, is proof necessary for the game tasks? I think it might be easier to go on good faith, although proof is needed for the wiki tasks, of course. Also, where are we going to list the people who earned medals? To code an winners box into the mag would mean there'd be an empty box in the first issue. What about putting them in the first box in the Ansem Reports page? Prime real estate to encourage other users...
 
The magazine's looking great! You guys have been awesome! :D
 
Also, I apologise because I am forever writing essays on this page. >_<}}
 
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 22:04, 15 June 2014 (UTC)|default=*Yeah, I don't really mind joining the command board and trinity archives together.
*I think any "creative" pieces sounds good for namine's sketchbook.
*I don't think we should add contact details for top 5 and review cos it'd be better if the editors think of their own original ideas.
*I think we should do the hoverlinks.
*We can try going on good faith for the first issue.
*With the box, I think we shouldn't worry about it for now. It's inevitable the template will change sometime in the future when we have new ideas so don't worry about the future templates affecting the older archives; we can always archive templates and change links and whatnot.
<small>Now I really need to sleep :P</small>}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=18:03, 16 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=I agree with what FM has said above. Specifically regarding the contact details, I think that is easily addressed with the talk page. Viewers can simply give suggestions on the talk page for other battles, since FR mentioned the Coliseum. But for the Top 5 and Review, it should be just the editors' own ideas.
*How are the hoverlinks going to work for the crossword?
*Regarding the name, the puzzle section could simply be named "The Light Cycle", since it's Tron-related, and it reminds me of the Light Cycle from Space Paranoids in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
*I'll get on the image for the Door to Light. Now that I've seen your images, I've been inspired a little on how to do it. The same for the Light Cycle, if you want.
*Regarding the story: Again, I can't make it any better, so keep it!
I think that's it!}}
{{FinalRest|time=04:19, 17 June 2014 (UTC)|happy3=Okay, I'll add in hoverlinks now!
 
For the crossword, we'll have to make two versions: one with empty boxes, another with the filled in answers. Then we can link the completed puzzle underneath so people can check their work. If the crossword on there now is the one we'll use upon release, can whoever made it (I think it might've been MEX, but I'm not sure ;P) make another version with the answers written in? Also for the Crossword, could we put the clues in normal text so it's easier to read? Oh, and should these sorts of puzzles have a print out version? I'm not sure how we'd do that, though.
 
I'll add in a winner's box now, then!
 
The Light Cycle is a great name! You can go ahead and make the title if you want, but I'm here if you want me to do it. :)
 
EDIT: How do the hovers look? And is someone on top of the userpage medal for completing the tasks?}}
 
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 21:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)|confused=With the crossword, instead of making a second version with filled in answers, we could alternatively add the answers by adding hoverlinks over each clue. However, if we do that, we need to cut the text from the image and write out the text in wikicode so it's equally preferable to stick with linking to a filled-in version. The clues would be better off in normal text. We could do a print out version by linking to an image that has the right dimensions and is black and white (I'm sure there's a more sophisticated/better way of doing it though).
 
And really, what do people think about dropping the "Station of Awakening" name still? If we must have a section name, should we change it to "The Games" to stick with the Coliseum theme?}}
 
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=21:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, I'm out as far as the crossword goes. I don't know how we'd do it, as far as the answers go. Maybe put a link to them in the following issue, like other magazines often do? I'm fine with whatever you guys decide regarding that.
 
I'm also okay with dropping the Station of Awakening name, if you guys choose to do so.}}
 
{{UnknownChaser|time=05:30, 18 June 2014 (UTC)|white=I don't where to bring this up, but this seems to be the right place. But for the page with the Round Room,theres needs to be a section to be put a [http://roosterteeth.com/podcast/episode.php?id=267 link dump/show notes].}}
 
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=05:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, I'll add that tomorrow, unless someone else beats me to it.
 
'''Sidenote:'''Anyone notice when someone adds a talk bubble, for some reason, all the talk bubbles after FM's first talk bubble in the Template Talk section is turned back to links? It hasn't done it to me, yet, but it's done it to FM's edit and UC's edit. And then it fixes it without having to do anything more than just clicking "Edit" and then "Save Page", with no changes. Someone ought to get on that.
 
'''EDIT''': Well, now it did it to me...}}

*KSM:That means this page needs to be archived.
I'd say no more than an hour and a half, any longer than that then people would lose interest.
Chaser: There is already a description sections on the roundroom page, we'll put it there. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


"Who can take part in making it?"
{{UnknownChaser|time=16:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)|white=Description =/= Show notes. The description is there to describe what we're talking about; i.e "''On this week, we talk about blank and blank...''"
I'd say we have no more than 5 people per podcast, but if we get a lot of people sign up, then we could rotate the people in each podcast based on availability and/or interest of topic.


Would the be hosted over Skype, G+, or some other program?}}
Show notes/link dump is there for us to put links to the discussion we talk about. A good example of descriptions and show note is with the [http://superbestfriendcast.com/ superbesfriendcast].}}


{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 13:18, 13 April 2014 (UTC)|default=Five people per podcast sounds okay but the problem will be getting enough people to sign up! I'm not sure what program it would be hosted over; that's probably something all the people who sign up should decide afterwards. Also, I remember Chaser saying he was interested in doing visuals for the podcast so we could release a version on our YouTube channel too (or even replace the .ogg with it).}}
==Podcast==
:5 people is too much of a cluster to do, even with visuals going on (also, I'm too lazy to edit that much visuals), especially with audio-only podcast. Most podcast are done with 3/4 people so that its easier to hear whats being said. {{User:UnknownChaser/Sig}} 16:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

::Alright, but so far we only have one person able to do the podcast. Anyone else who can do it? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 16:33, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Visually speaking (depending on how lazy I'm gonna be when I edit this), and using me, FM, Ek, and Cof as example and that me and Cof are the one that are currently speaking, the podcast visual should look something like [http://i.imgur.com/wSo0p0L.png this]. {{User:UnknownChaser/Sig}} 17:09, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
::::Would it be possible to have the names besides each wavelength so that the viewer can match name-to-voice easier? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:39, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::Over the IRC, UC explained to me that doing the visuals would take a lot of work since you'd be listening to the podcast for half an hour, figuring out who's speaking at each second and animating their wavelength. I think we should plan a podcast, record it and see how tedious it is to make the visual. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 09:59, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
::::::Sounds like a good idea. Another idea is to have the pictures on the side next to the wavelengths so it's a bit clearer. Not sure what'd happen to the logo though. 03:26, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
