Link added.
Also, just a reminder for everyone regarding Desert Island Discs. If I don't get 10 submissions total by next week on Tuesday, I'll be doing a 10 show run of chart hits in Europe, America and the UK. I'm currently sitting at 2, so that means 8 more (and it can be people off-site too, I'm fine with that).-

And any other potential jazz listeners?
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking about Reck's show, or (as I'm more leaning towards) are you asking if the DJ's run the shows live?
If it's the former, he just gets a bunch of people to discuss mafia (and other stuff) on his show each week, you arrange with him in advance to appear on it.
If it's the latter, it depends on the DJ. Some shows can be done totally live (Nexus is always live, Reck's is live (though occasionally has pre-recorded stuff in there in the form of Mafia games), or you can pre-record them and play them at the assigned slot (that's how I do my show, as my computer's crap and I can't record the show as I broadcast without it playing havoc with the stream). To DJ you need a regular slot (PM the RadioScum account the slot you would be after), but you're free to broadcast in an empty spot whenever you wish. But if someone asks you to get off stream so they can broadcast, then you have to relenquish the stream.
You will of course only get details for broadcasting once you've been assigned a slot.-

The lack of many listeners for Nexus isn't good people, hopefully we get a bigger amount tuning in for tonight's Desert Island Disc special recapping the past 20 shows (not including the previous special) in which I'll be picking my favourite song from each episode. So if you want to know which song of yours I picked, you'll have to tune in to find out!-

I like this idea. Although it would require a bunch of us being able to get together and do a show, and considering I'm going to be moving soon (hopefully into a house and not onto the streets, but I'm pretty much stuck relying on the local council there so....) it might not be viable for me to do so for a bit.
Plus there's not really that many of us DJ'ing. What we need is more DJs, and perhaps a wider range of listeners than just people on MS. (and Nexus' girlfriend during his show)-

If you nab Winamp, I'm sure myself or Nexus could easily give you a run through of how we do things (I have an actual mic, but the setup would be exactly the same for you), and get you the add-on for Winamp we use.-

I expect more listeners for my show than Nexus has got for his... damn people, we have our own radio station with awesome music (Nexus has done a blinding show tonight), listen to it.
Anyway, in a few minutes we'll have A Summer Show brought to you by PranaDevil... or me. Join me in celebrating the recent good weather.-

Desert Island Disc wiki is fully up-to-date. All 20 Desert Island Disc episodes are up for download, along with both Specials, and this week's Desert Island Discs replacement, Prana Devil's Bollocks, is also uploaded.
Bollocks will temporarily replace Desert Island Discs until I am moved and have internet access again, at which point we shall resume our previous Desert Island Disc schedule. In the meantime, get your 10 picks sent in. Do it yourself for the first time, hell do it for a second time for all I care! Get your friends to do it, I don't even care if they're not on MafiaScum, just tell them to e-mail me with their name (Or chosen name... nothing rude or I'll make up something stupid for them) and their picks. It doesn't matter who they are, or how they get their picks to me (if they know me in real life, write it on a sheet of paper and hand it to me, I don't care!), just get those picks in.
Hell, at the rate I've got others sending stuff in, I may be able to do a run of 10 Facebook episodes at some point. So get yourselves in there and send me stuff to play!-

Special number 2 from two weeks ago was exactly that. Making sure to ignore all bonus tracks and focus solely on the submitted tracks. With a few bonus tracks to flesh it out.
I have something similar, but not quite, planned for next time round too (and no, it wont be more covers, I learnt my lesson after the abuse I got last time... though it was funny as hell )-

Seems to entirely depend on day, time and whether anyone wants to listen to the DJ (Or in my case, the person who's on Desert Island Discs that week). Some shows you'll have over 10 people on, at other times (and I think Nexus suffers from this more due to the time of his show) you can wind up with just one or two listeners.-

Sometimes people will start a couple of minutes past the official time to start. If I start bang on 5pm EST according to my clock, I get people telling me I'm 5 minutes late. Reck was actually 3 minutes early according to my computer.
And while you're here, send in ten picks for Desert Island Discs, and reasons for each pick of course. Same for anyone else reading this (That means you too Faraday!)-

(it doesn't)
Well considering when I actually still had the URL for the show I checked it a couple of times and the lowest I saw was like 11. Most of the time we had at least 16/17 listeners.
11 =/= 15-25
the majority of the time you idled around 12, your maximum was 16
the most popular show was my weekly song contest show, which normally ran with an average of 12 as well but had a maximum of 20
His maximum is now 18. Even if only temporarily (we're back to 16 during this musical interlude).
Quick question JD, dunno where to check the stats yet (mind PM'ing me that info?) what was my maximum listeners?-

If you mean those without links Junpei.
Nexus is currently working through the alphabet and playing only bands beginning with that letter.
CDB... well he plays whatever he feels like each week.
HoHum I'm not sure about, as I've never been awake when his show is on.
Mine is currently filler, thanks to me moving soon. When I return I'll go back to Desert Island Discs if I have at least ten submissions for it, if not, then I'll go with a run of 10 "chart hits" shows.-

I think the real problem is that if a game is in sign-ups for ages, people join the game purely to force the game out of sign-ups so the game they want to play can move into sign-ups. I'd say a limit of 3 weeks. If it reaches that point without filling, class it as abandoned. It's not making things into only letting elite mods run games, as I've only modded two games on here, one was a mini-theme and I easily filled that quickly. Only crap mods would have trouble, and games with themes no bugger wants to play. Forcing them out of the queues after a set time is only a good thing.-

I should really go onto Reck's show one day... The only problem is I'm shit at talking mafia theory stuff.
And I agree JD, but I was erring on the side of longer as opposed to shorter. Two weeks should be ample, but occasionally there will be the time it gets close to being full and needs a couple of people in. Maybe the List-Mod's discretion? If it's hit 2 weeks and only needs one or two to fill it up, leave it there another week, if it's half full at best, then insta-boot at 2 weeks.-

Think of it like RadioScum itself, it's currently rather small, but the eventual plan is to build and expand. So the more people who get in on the ground floor now, the better-

I'll bung a message to Hohum.
Also guys, my internet has finally gone the way of the Dodo. So for the forseeable (which hopefully wont be longer than a few weeks, as I need to be moved before September 21st) I'll obviously not be doing much in the way of anything, and for the first Tuesday since I began... there will be no show from me this one, there goes my streak of always broadcasting .-

I believe it, and we're still getting listeners on Tuesday nights. I'm pretty sure Reck and co. are still on for their show (but will await confirmation).
In addition, this coming Desert Island Disc show features picks from my girlfriend, Laura Halliday. So get listening to that this coming Tuesday.-

Nope, but I'll be creating a FB page for Desert Island Discs soonish, so when I do that, you can see what she looks like if you're really thatcreepyinterested-

I think it would be a bad idea. LN games would clog the merged queue, leading to a bunch of people just waiting for the next LT to start while the LN takes forever.
Restriction on one large normal allowed in queues at a time? With an additional "If no new sign-ups are made after a week (and/or the game is less than half full after a week or two) then the game is sent to the back of the queue" ruling, it could work. Though might be unfair on some mods, it's the best option I can think of right now.-

On tonight's show we have 10 song choices as chosen by Mykonian, featuring Elvis, Bach, and Eiffel 65!
In addition there will be filler songs from Swede Mason, Junior Senior and more.
And we end with Episode 13 of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Don't miss out on any of the excitement on tonight's episode of Desert Island Discs at 5pm EST/10pm UK.-

Only a few more Hitchhiker's Guide episodes and we'll be onto something else. While we do have two more series' to play after this one, but I fancy a short break from them, so we'll go onto something else, possibly Yes Minister, and then switch around through different shows doing a series' or something of each.
Also, next week's episode features another of my friends. This time UK based wrestler Matt Pedin (Or Tinseltown Sebastien Pedin, or Flex Buffington, depending on what he chooses to go by).-
