Snyper22~

1. What is your real job?

I owned a home and remodeling business for years, now I am semi-retired.

2. Briefly, how did you find Tankionline?

My son started playing before me and told me about it.

3. In the past few weeks, you have obtained the position of "Radio Chief." How did you achieve that? What did you have to do?

It's funny because I wrote Bruce one day again complaining about how I wanted to get my 10,000 crystals back that a hacker spent at Christmas time, within a few minutes I got them all back!! I was amazed and told Bruce that if there was anything I could do to help him and the Tanki community to let me know, I told him I was a professional audio engineer at one time, he wrote back and told me how he wanted to get a Tanki Radio show and possible TV show going...

4. How do you think that your job as a 'radio man' will benefit the Tanki community as a whole?

I think it gives everyone something new and refreshing to do, also it can be very informative for those that don't use forum, it will provide news along with the news paper, and also provides the players favorite music through song requests that they can listen to while they play.

5. What sort of work is included in each broadcast?

Well, right now it is early so I am trying to develop a system, but generally it will go like this: the show is from 10 A.M. - 2 P.M. EST. I have to make playlists of everyone's favorite songs, also I have to prepare to deliver any news that Bruce would like me to distribute like contests, events, e.t.c... I monitor everything to make sure it is all running smoothly, and while doing the radio part, I frequently download songs that are requested that I don't already have, (and all of this while talking in the TV chat and taking requests at the same time!!)

6. Are you enjoying your work in Tanki, so far?

Yes for sure!! I know in these early stages of development it is going to be more work and research than anything else, but even though Bruce told me that I have control over the TV and Radio aspects, he doesn't just leave me on my own to figure everything out by myself. We have spent several nights up till 3 and 4 A.M. (in both timezones!) to test everything and work out problems that would arise from all of this. He is a great guy to work with and I am so glad that I have gotten to know him a bit.

7. Any other things that you would like our readers to know?

Remember! Tanki TV and Radio is for you guys. We want you to like it and to keep coming and watch and participating in the music shows and TV broadcasts, so make sure to tell us what you want, (we aren't mind readers! :mrgreen: ), just let us know how we can make things better for all of you!! :)

Thanks for interviewing me Tommy and good luck with your work in the paper... :D

And good luck to you as well! We will all be looking forward to your future broadcasts!

1. What are some of your hobbies in the real world?

In real life my hobbies are to sometimes skateboard with my friends but I mostly like to work on vehicles with my dad. I also build stuff out of wood like sheds, steps, and other items. And I like to hang out with my friends both inside and outside of JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training).

2. What brought you to Tankionline? (For sanity's sake, keep it brief.)

One day I was in class I spotted some kids playing a tank game. I asked them what it was and they wouldn't tell me. So finally one day I snuck up behind them and got the link and started an account here the next day. I got my dad started and it went on from there.

3. You have made a few broadcasts for the Tanki Radio; how did you first start doing this work? (A quick story, please.)

When Bruce posted the link to Spreaker radio I looked into it and made a broadcast. It was a terrible one but I submitted it to see what everyone thought. After that Bruce hired me for a DJ and I have made more from there.

4. What do you enjoy most about working for the Radio?

I enjoy the fact that I can show everyone the type of music that I listen to. Every broadcast that I do I try to change it up a little bit so that nobody feels that they are stuck listening to one genre. I also listen to all music so it is not difficult for me to find good songs.

5. Do you feel that working for the Radio will improve your skills in other aspects? If so, what are they?

Maybe a little bit. But I can't exactly be sure until I find out.

6. Is there anything else that you would like to add?

Be safe. Have fun. AND DON'T DO DRUGS!!! It always ruins the game, even if you didn't start it.

Thanks for all your time, shady!
