Hello tech freaks!

Thought you might be interested in playing SLAY Radio on your Nokia N97. If so, head over to Jamie Fuller's blog and pick his neat app up!

In the words of Jamie:
"Its still a very early version, it has little or no error checking, and you use at your own risk but... If you want to use it you can.

Please note this was written in Python and so requires the latest runtimes, tested successfully on 1.9.7."

Happy SLAYing!

On a gigantic battleground somewhere in the desert sand opposing camps are neatly lined up. From here the teams are facing each other, using highly specialized mercenaries and the latest military equipment.

Since the release on August 3, SLAY Radio has been an ingame radio partner!

  IMPORTANT REMINDER about the Gathering this weekend

Boz - 2009-08-06

The Gathering is this weekend (Friday 7th and Saturday 8th August), so if you need details on how to get there and so forth, remember to login to this site - the first page to appear when you've done that will show you the details!

Here's a quick reminder of the itinerary: Friday is the "Unofficially Official Pre-Gathering Gathering" (i.e. an excuse to catch up, gossip and drink) and starts in the evening at Kville Biljard.

Saturday evening is also at Kville Biljard, but in the private room at the back of the building. This starts at around 20:00 local time.

On Saturday daytime, the tradition has been to go to Keillers Park and eat some barbecued food. People typically take an "engångsgrill" (single-use barbecue) up there around midday-ish and hang out with the crowd. We've been lucky with the weather before, and the forecast so far says it should be sunny and warm with scattered clouds. If it decides to be typical Gothenburg weather, however, then you can either find a pizzeria or restaurant until the evening (or, Kville Biljard itself has an excellent menu).

KVILLE BILJARD website: www.kvillebiljard.com (in Swedish); Google Map for this is http://tinyurl.com/kvfskr.

KEILLERS PARK location on Google Maps: http://tinyurl.com/lcmht8

If you have more questions, the best thing to do is head for Kville Biljard; that's the main meeting point!

Thanks and hope to see you soon!

  Fourth Immortal CD - and you're invited!

Boz - 2009-07-08

Ello!

Got some exciting news regarding a fourth "Immortal" CD in the making, full of Amiga remixes. It seems that one track could be arranged by YOU! I'll let Jan explain it himself:

Jan Zottmann, executive producer of the acclaimed "Immortal" series (http://www.amiga-immortal.com) of CDs featuring arranged music from games released for the Commodore Amiga, and composer Jolyon Myers are looking for a talented arranger to work on a CD version of the music from the Amiga version of "Final Fight". The game was more or less a direct conversion of Capcom's arcade classic, but it featured an entirely different score written by Myers. You can download this music from http://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Final_Fight or listen to it on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQsVhlI3eH0).

Jan says: “This is your chance to become a member of the ‘Immortal’ team and publish your arrangement of ‘Final Fight’ on an album that features musicians such as Chris Huelsbeck, Andrew Barnabas, Allister Brimble, and many others”. Participating artists are free to choose the style of the arrangement on their own, the final track should have a running time of at least 4 minutes though. Demos should be submitted in mp3 format to jzottmann [AT] synsoniq.com no later than August 31. Jolyon Myers will personally select the best entry (and eventually give some input for the production of the final version which has to be submitted late September / early October 2009). Runner-ups will receive a credit in the CD booklet as well as a free copy of the “Immortal 4” album. There will also be an opportunity to present these arrangements on the AmigaRemix platform (http://www.amigaremix.com).

Jolyon says: “It's an honor that the Final Fight theme has been chosen for placement on the latest ’Immortal’ CD as Jan has always brought together really talented musicians to re-create fantastic blasts from the past in a new and innovative way. I can’t wait to hear what you guys do with this track and hopefully it will be you that gets your remix on the disc!”

So, if you're interested, get your favorite music composer out and go for it!

  Regarding the matter of Paralax

SLAY Radio Staff - 2009-07-06

First of all - Very sorry for this lengthy post, but we feel it is necessary. It will be posted as a news item and as a forum post on remix64.com.

Regarding the matter of Manuel Sehrbrock, a.k.a. Paralax, a.k.a owner of radio-paralax.de.

Spamming. Death threats. Generally hostile behaviour. For a number of years now Paralax has been pestering the scene, not only by being a general pain in the arse, but much worse - there are documented cases of him threatening people’s lives, calling them at their homes, sending threatening emails, handing out threats on IRC; You name it, he has done it.

For a long time we only considered this character an annoyance, but he has proven, time after time, that he is so much more than that. We have given him every chance possible to be a decent person - even helping him get his radio station online and promoting him.

This, however, was not enough for Paralax. He not only thinks that we are the "big evil" and out to get him, but that we are hindering him from growth. Nothing could be farther from the truth - we have done everything in our power to help this chap with his endevour, but nothing short of shutting our own sites down seem to be good enough for him.

Here are a few recent examples of the kind of communication skills Paralax has displayed. First a little tidbit that a number of scene people woke up to one morning on IRC:

"I wish you dearly that you will die a long and painfully death visited by the cholera or something like that. I will give a PARTY then and WE ALL will celebrate it!"

Isn't that cute? The sending IP address resolved to Paralax' home town.

But wait. There's more! Facebook invitations en masse and emails are not uncommon. Nor are mass subscriptions to our services with fake accounts, posing as known sceners, used for various methods of spamming on said services.

Here's just the latest batch, made recently on the SLAY Radio shoutbox:

2009-06-23 05:39.10 - the_sie_: Finally!!! Radio Paralax 4 ever! :)
2009-06-23 05:27.35 - subzero_: Indeed! Let's rock!!! :)
2009-06-23 05:25.25 - makke_: Good idea! I will tune in Paralax as well! :)
2009-06-23 05:22.55 - ffloaf: Well, there's the Chillout-Zone with DJ Micha on wednesday.
2009-06-23 05:17.18 - boz_: There are some more shows announced?
2009-06-23 05:14.55 - cpt_chaos_: Yeah! Let's rock on www.radio-paralax.de tonight. :D
2009-06-23 05:13.01 - dumper_: Sounds good! I will tune in today at 21:15 CET
2009-06-23 05:10.33 - fnordpojk_: Seems to be the Free Jump with DJ Apprentice.
2009-06-23 05:07.18 - slaygon1971: Wohoo! Let's see what our new partner radio-paralax has announce

The above shows 9 different fake accounts he was using on that day alone. To show a bit of statistics, out of 63,922 shouts to date, only 362 have had to be deleted - ALL of them made by Paralax.
The exact amount of his faked accounts, that we’ve had to delete over the years, we don’t really know, but a fair guess would be that the numbers are in the same region as deleted shoutbox posts.

We have tried ignoring him. That didn't work. We have tried communicating with him "behind the scenes". That didn't work. The option we are left with is full exposure. So here you are, Paralax. You’ve finally managed to tip everyone over the edge.

For historical reasons, we’ve unhidden the news post from back in July 2006 asking the community to ignore this guy (see "Selected further reading" below for reference). We actually removed that post on request from Paralax himself after having a long discussion with him regarding his behaviour. We see no reason to keep it removed any more.

Also, we’d like to encourage everyone to post their experience with this person as a reply to this post.

Thank you for your attention.

- The SLAY Radio Staff.
