In june this year, Graion Dilach allowed Mental Omega to play a release candidate version of his Attach Effect Ares version and while Zenothist was streaming some matches with this, I suddenly began to wonder a few things about Attach Effect and Graion in general and it turned out as a sort of out of the blue mini-interview. Unfortunately that specific stream was not saved and eventually was removed from Zeno's channel.
A while later, I spoke to Graion about redoing the interview in a more prepared state, where I would write down the questions, send them over to Graion and during a stream, we would do the interview, which eventually happened, but due to my mistake, that stream was removed as well.
But the idea to do these kind of interviews with several of the Mental Meisters still exists in my head and I want to do them bigger and better, however, there are a few things I want to know from you guys; the viewers, the fans.
So my question, as the poll states, is: Do you guys; the viewers, the fans, want these kind of interviews, where eventually you get to know a little more back story on who the Mental Meisters are and what roles they fulfill in the team and perhaps even how they see the future of Mental Omega. The majority will decide.
I do feel the need to explain a little something about the reason why I gave you 2 options when it comes to the answer YES.
If you decide you want this on stream, I want you to know, that for that specific stream, we will be showing battles and random gameplay, but no ingame play-by-play commentary what so ever. The streamed footage will serve only as a background distraction and the stream will end once we're done with the interview.
The other option, audio only, was a suggestion that Zenothist, me and the person(s) we interview come on skype at a given moment, Zenothist would record the conversation and we would edit and upload the result in a Podcast. This of course gives you the freedom listen to it at any time you want, and not be forced to watch gameplay footage while you're much more interested in play-by-play commentary.
The last option, is a simple NO, you´re not interested in this and you just want the streams to be streams of gameplay footage and play/by/play commentary. I can perfectly understand that.
Now should 1 of the 2 YES answers win, there is one last thing I need you guys for.
Despite the fact I´ve already written down a couple of questions for 2 of these interviews, I want to get the fans involved and let them ask a question as well. Becuse you might have a question that I´m not thinking of.
The way I have things in mind, is that I´m going to run this poll until the 1st week of Januari and see the results.
The first one to be interviewed, since we already did it sort of, kind of, is Graion Dilach.
I´ll ask him, to post a short introduction, where he tells a little about himself, and what he did-does for Mental Omega, and after that, you guys may send me questions in forum PM´s, so that Graion wont have a chance to answer them here on the forums before the interview.
I´ll be selecting the most professional questions, so please be serious, and I´ll also pick some questions that I might find to be entertaining.
After 2 weeks, probably the 3rd week of January, I´ll collect and select the questions, send a copy over to both Zenothist and Graion (so they have some time to prepare) and in the last week of Januari, we'll be hosting the Stream or Podcast interview.
It's not going to be like: We're done with 1 interview, let's quickly prepare the next, but more like, once every 2 or 3 months we'll do an interview.
So far, the ppl I have in mind are:
Graion Dilach
ImP_RuLz
Cesare, Loval Midas and RP (yes, 3 ppl in 1 interview)
Speeder
I hope you are as enthousiastic about this as I am and I'll see you in the next stream
