More radio business!

So for anyone who doesn’t remember/wasn’t here when plotting for this started being a thing, Clark and Lois decided the turtle couldn’t stay without a newspaper (or more like they couldn’t stay long without their favorite jobs), but when faced with the problem of text not automatically getting translated they went for the next best thing:

They started building a radio with help of a certain rich bff who sometimes dresses as a bat! And now it’s already built.

(In this handy little list here I wrote down most of the people who offered their help for building it- some aren’t here anymore, I know, but if you want your character to be involved there will still be a lot of work to do when it comes to building the little radio-devices so poke me and it can be threaded/handwaved how Clark contacted them or viceversa!)

Now let’s start:

Radio? In this place?:

Yes! The mechanics built something maybe not exactly like a radio station but similar enough, because everyone (even the Emperor, Lieuen, Evandau…) has access to the network and they wanted this to be as private for the foreigners as possible. Clark also asked for it to be as nice with the environment as possible, hah.

They also built little radio devices that will be sold very cheaply. Clark would like to give them away but they have to have some profit :( the devices will only tune in to this station for now since it’s the only one in the turtle so they would only have to turn it on and voilà, news.

Ok but how will this work in-game?

Here’s where I need people’s help.
My plan was to make an OOC post with comments screened where people could leave whatever had happened to their character / what would have become common knowledge / useful information / AND IDK EVEN pimping someone’s store! i would put different's threads for each kind of information to keep things more organized.

ICly, the information could be given:
> By the character themselves
> By the character as an ‘anonymous source’, Clark and Lois would respect that
> By Clark/Lois/Other reporters finding out doing some snooping around
> Other options Al has forgotten hah

And then, in an IC post made by Clark (or someone else if they offer). In said post people could react to the news etc, but keep in mind it would be like a radio program so they wouldn’t answer back. It’s not a network post.

What kind of information would be useful?

Any kind of information! From game-changing things they find out about Malicant/the Emperor/The turtle idk to GOSSIP to the weather to suggestions... anything! 



Now time for your input, because this won’t work if I just assume everyone is on board. So the questions:

Would you have the radio work some other way? If so, how?: (If you think a radio wouldn’t work in this place this is the place to say so and explain why! Input is appreciated)
How often do you think OOC information recompilation /IC news post should be made? Weekly, monthly, daily?: (it’s ok to have different answers for the IC post and the OOC post)
Would you, the player be willing to share new information there?:
Would your character be interested in this?:
Would your character be interested in working in the radio?: (Most kind of radio-work can be talked over, I’m open to suggestions)

Would you have the radio work some other way? If so, how?: The way you have it set up makes sense and I think works for how the game is.

How often do you think OOC information recompilation /IC news post should be made? Weekly, monthly, daily?: OOC information maybe biweekly or monthly depending on how much is going on. IC News posts I think could be handwaved unless something big happens or you have an idea for doing on. I also agree with the idea of marking what days you plan to have the radio posts handwaved for so you can keep track. Weekly or Daily makes the most sense for me.

Would you, the player be willing to share new information there?: Yes I would!

Would your character be interested in this?: Tea wouldn't, but Kaldur might if he thought it was something that was important enough to reveal to people at large but not urgent enough to need the network, Prussia would because he's an attention-hogger, and Toro would if he had a reason to.

Would your character be interested in working in the radio?: Ah...Prussia would totally be a randomly radio show host which I'm pretty sure is not what Clark is looking for, but he would be all about it. XD

Other comments go here: None but I really do like this idea since it's kind of interesting to see how the Foreigners are building things of their own around the turtle.
