Solver: Interview update please

DrSpike · January 10, 2004, 12:22

What's going on with this great feature? I can't even remember the last interview. We all understand if RL has got in the way, but if that's the case then the feature shouldn't die, but rather someone else take over the interviewing. I'd volunteer, and I know others have expressed interest in the past also.

One way or the other let's resurrect this feature.

Nikolai · January 10, 2004, 19:14

Yes, that would be greatly appreciated!

I really loved that feature when it was ongoing. More please!

PLATO · January 10, 2004, 19:26

I agree. It should continue.

DrSpike · January 10, 2004, 19:59

Well for whatever reason it is not continuing at present. I'm hoping Solver will drop by and tell us why.

I don't think it can be lack of demand, or lack of potential interviewees. Solver may well be too busy; if so IMO it may be time to consider a replacement.

Skanky Burns · January 10, 2004, 21:52

Well past time to consider a replacement, the feature has been dead for years.

to getting it back up agian.

Solver · January 11, 2004, 18:48

In the recent time, business is not a problem. I am currently quite free (except for the next 48 hours), to do whatever I want. I just need to find the list of persons to interview I was given a long time ago, since our FoA with Locutus will be finished in approximately two years.

Provided the guy to be interviewed does respond, I can promise you an interview this month - workload has dropped and I can't see why not, if the demand is present.

DrSpike · January 11, 2004, 18:53

Good. However, I don't want to be rude, but there has always been demand, and it's been almost 18 months since the last interview. Do you still want to do them? I don't consider interviewees not responding a great reason..........surely you should chase them up a little and then move on if they aren't interested or are too busy.

MattH · January 11, 2004, 18:53

Someone on Civ 4

Solver · January 11, 2004, 18:55

Nah, I didn't pay that much attention to the demand over that time

.

Doing interviews here is work that I throughoutly enjoy, and the lack of them has definitely not been because I didn't want/like the job.

Interviewees not responding isn't a reason indeed, and trust me it hasn't happened yet. I mean, I found the person (was the same I remembered), but I gotta check his availability status first. To avoid a long delay, I will be conducting the interview in a "standard" format, for me.

As said, count on it soon.

Solver · January 11, 2004, 18:56

Matt, too early a bit. Nothing specific on Civ 4 yet, so not much to talk about - though I will be asking about it, of course.

MattH · January 11, 2004, 18:58

Brian Reynolds! That new RON expansion is coming out soon.

Rasbelin · January 11, 2004, 20:16

Solver,

don't forget about your other important assignments.

Solver · January 12, 2004, 11:54

I sure wish I could talk to Brian, but that would be a hard one to manage!

Hey, I'm here, you just never bring it up anymore. I think I even mentioned it once or twice a while ago but got no response, so I dropped it.

I still think you should interview Harlan though, if he's still around

BTW, did you get the package yet?

Hehe he is reformed now...........or this thread will get mysteriously bumped in the night.

No you did not. Besides, every time we talk it gets interrupted in 10 minutes by one of your events, and judging by how often I get to you...

Get over to ICQ anyway.

Alex · January 13, 2004, 13:49

I demand an interview with April Cantor!!!

Solver · January 13, 2004, 15:09

Who

?

Alex · January 13, 2004, 15:40

Foreign Advisor in CivII

alva · January 14, 2004, 11:58

Someone from the candle'bre project maybe?

Solver · January 14, 2004, 13:23

Vel's been interviewed, though that was before Candle'Bre, Civ 3 and when many Apolytoners never knew him (can't believe). I'm up for another talk, official or not with Vel anytime though, he's easily one of my favorite posters.
