The Gorousei Summit**

Hello AP, howz it goin'?

Many may recognize me….many don't....and many can care less....despite all that I am Sage and I have been a One Piece fanatic for years. I have had the idea for The Gorousei Summit for quite some time now and I am ready to start launching this thing off the ground.

What is The Gorousei Summit?
The G-Summit is going to be a weekly voice and/or video discussion of the latest One Piece Manga and Anime releases….further expanding to Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter and more as the show continues to grow.

Wait…isn't this what One Piece Podcast is doing?

Yes…and no. This show is going to be based on Manga and Anime reviews/predictions/opinions.... we will leave all the extra stuff to OPP. Aside from that, this show is going to be more community based as I want to have the community actively participate in the show. Listeners will have more freedom to speak and voice there own opinions with us. I feel there needs to be a variety for this type of thing and that's exactly what I am doing.

So your saying that just anyone can participate in the show?

Kinda. There will be, of course, a screening process for those who are interested. We aren't going to let just any kid come up on the show and flame/bash and spread there stench of FAIL…I ain't having that. This process will enforce the no flaming rule that we are going to staunchly establish on the show.

Tell me more. Like mentioned earlier, this is going to be a weekly show following the release of the manga chapters. I also want to establish a spoiler show down the line…but that's.....down the line..... This show would further allow the One Piece (as well as other Manga/Anime Communities) to come together and talk about what they love. Many would think that all it would end up to be is kids arguing and cursing at each other about why x series is better than x series...no....im a grown ass man and ill be damned to allow such immaturity to stain my vision.

I will warn that listener discretion will be advised.

This isn't going to be a candy and rainbow show. I am only interested in real people for a real discussion.

The development of the show is well underway and a pilot episode will be started very very soon.

So…Mr. Grown Ass Man....are you the only staff member?

Heh…no. Currently these are the members who are interested in participating/becoming perma staff on the show:

Zik
Wintergt Don Quichotte De Flamingo
PirateBeck
Jackskellinghog
Redspear If anyone is interested in participating or would like to interview for a staff position please feel free to PM me or contact me on Skype: Sagemaster2000

Any questions, comments, or concerns? Feel free to post here and ill get to them as soon as possible.

Thanks for taking the time and checking us out and I hope to hear from some of you in the future.

Episodes are releasing, be sure to check them out.

Sounds interesting, as well as the main speakers or the staff it would be a good idea to guest speakers on the show maybe from the forum or all over the place, maybe some kind off call in segment if you use Skype to record it that is.

Absolutely.

Skype will be the medium used for our conversations. Our community interaction is not limited to APforums, but this is where I want to start since I have been a member of this community for years and I have Love for ya.

OnePieceUnleashed

Some info about the screening…like Sage said, we are going to be very careful with who gets on the show. You'll also need basic expression skills (no one wants to listen to some boring guy who speaks in a monotone), a good-quality microphone and Skype (which is free!) But don't worry about all that for now =D

Anyways, can't wait to get started on this!

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

sounds interesting after all..
i dont have a mike so that would be a prob..but sure no prob who cant be solved…
how do you guys chose who is fitting and who is not..kind of a test-speaking or what? :happy:

well, i would say iam interested so far...so take me on the list.^^
i hope you give soon some more infos when the project getting started and when you decide who can participate.

Microphones are cheap these days. Your Mic doesn't have to be a professional one, hell I am using a Rockband Mic! As long as you can be heard clearly there shouldn't be a problem.

In terms of the screening, we would get in contact with you before the show and get you in a skype call and just shoot the shit with you. If we like what we hear then you can participate. What we are looking for are people who are respectful and mature and down to earth. If you want to become a staff member then there will be an interview process. I will explain that in full to those who are interested in a staff position.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

i`ll wait for further instructions and try to get a mike into my hands

Sage

@Don:

Once you get your hands on a mic, hit me up and we will go from there.

Akumu

I'm also interested. I have the same problem as DoFla though, no mic. But as you say that's fixable, if need be I could probably get a good quality mic by tomorrow night.

I've never used Skype before though, but it seems simple enough to figure out, and I'm a fast learner.

I don't know if I could do every show, though as I have a pretty busy schedule between work and school, but I'm sure I could do 90% of the shows.

EDIT: Hey my laptop has a mic in it!!! I need to test it when I get home

Good luck, but OPU weren't you the one just complaining about having to listen to guys to talk for a hour when were discussing the mike interview and the one piece podcast in the dvd forum?

Yeah, I think I said that when I was in a bad mood or wanted the info or something, and Luffy #1 fan I'm also the one who's writing Shunketsu/Team Kamikaze.

About that though, you should know that I'm really busy and don't have a lot of time to spare, and people wanted to know the info so I repeated what the others said to convince someone to get the info posted. In no way do I have anything against One Piece Podcast considering I was a guest on it for 3 episodes and Zach, Steve, Firecrouch etc. are really cool guys, but it is true that I find their really long episodes and stuff like the Vidcast to be boring. That's why I joined Gorousei Summit- it's an alternative that'll be run differently since it'll be more interactive and also shorter.

sephirona

Aw cool.

Too bad I'm shy when it comes to talking through skype. And all I really pay attention to is One Piece, Monster, and Haruhi. And two of those have already basically ended so there isn't much predicting to be done. :U

Good luck in your endeavors~

Thanks for the praise.

The Gorousei Summit is going to focus on current ongoing series. Series that have met there end will most likely not be discussed until further down the line when I plan on expanding the show but that is all tentative at the moment.

OneManCollectiblez

This soudns really interesting, i would wanna participate as guest sometime xD? if thats even possible:P. I al least think i dont have a boring monotone voice:P. Check out my youtube reviews xD.

Thank you for your interest.

If you are serious about participating, please make sure you download and create a Skype account and PM me your username. We will take it from there.

Akumu

Hey Sage, sorry about yesterday. I got done with the paper around 12:00 my time and went home to crash before I had to get up at 5. I tested the mic this morning when I printed off my paper, and it sounds really good.
Let me know when you want to do the screening. I'm good to go whenever

It's all good bro, school comes first my friend.

Ill see if we can set something up for tonight

Md-Martin

Eh, sounds interesting. Kinda like a more open voice forum, then a podcast, so it's not a rip off. Haha count me in if you guys are letting anyone in.

Well put my friend. This show is not meant to be a rip-off or meant to compete with anyone/anything else.

We are always looking for participants.

I would also like to remind everyone that there are still staff positions open for the show as well.

PM me or contact me on Skype (Sagemaster2000) for more information!

skeletonbrook

sounds intresting ill be looking forward to it

JERK DISEASE

I'm going to phone in and fart into the receiver.

Sage

@JERK:

I'm going to phone in and fart into the receiver.

I'd love to see you try my friend.

JERK DISEASE

@Sage:

I'd love to see you try my friend.

There's not a lot of ways to stop someone from phoning in and farting into a receiver.

Sage

@JERK:

There's not a lot of ways to stop someone from phoning in and farting into a receiver.

So YOU think. Stop trolling.

JERK DISEASE

I don't think that, it's just true.
You can only try and hang up the phone as soon as you start hearing a fart, but that's hard because you would need better reflexes then the fart. And farts are fast.
The best thing you can do is train your reflexes in preparation for me farting on your show. Practice hanging up phones and have your friends do trial farts. Hone your ability to react to farts through this and you might have a chance.
But it will be hard and I am very good at farting over phones.

Darkstorm

I'd have thought a guy calling himself "Mr. Grown Ass Man" wouldn't be adverse to a few farts.

How wrong I was.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

cut it up Zephos…
you sure are still in Agarthas ban ,arent cha?

Sage

@Darkstorm:

I'd have thought a guy calling himself "Mr. Grown Ass Man" wouldn't be adverse to a few farts.

How wrong I was.

Very funny. I would say something but imma just let it go.

Md-Martin

Haha, so when will this kick off, I'm pretty excited and would like to be involved

Akumu

So when's this all going to premiere?
And when should we do the interview process?

Sage

I was planning on starting a pilot episode today/tonight, but I was doing so with the hopes of a chapter being released today. Im not sure if it will be released today or tomorrow.

In either case, I would like to start interviews today and participant screenings today with a POSSIBLE pilot tonight, if not then tomorrow.

Airflow

Well this sounds absolutely super let's just see who's invol…

oh god

KingofSarus

I'd join… if only... if only... I can curse... like... 500 times... and say "nigga".

Sage

@KingofSarus:

All imma say is that im not going to hold my tongue… which is why I have to stress that

I already know that stuff, it is me SS.63/Jarrod. I already know about team kamikaze since you announced it at your live streaming party I was a administrator at.

Yeah I know buddy :P

Sage

I apologize for the lack of communication but I was dealing with a family emergency which will cause me to push the pilot until tomorrow or sometime during the weekend.

All those wishing to participate, please PM me or IM me on Skype (Sagemaster2000) your availability. Judging by that, ill make the decision of when we will be doing the pilot.

Sage

Here is an update.

Plans for the pilot are still on for tonight. Anyone wishing to participate please contact me. Estimated time for recording is 6-8PM EST.

I just finished creating the intro and everything is looking smooth. Looking forward to hearing from participants!

Some reminders -

Anyone wishing to participate MUST have a working Microphone AND a Skype Account

Listeners and Recorders must be aware that discretion is advised.

Sage

Those who are interested in hearing the intro may go here

LUFFY1fan

Kinda of creepy.

Sage

@LUFFY#1:

Kinda of creepy.

Indeed my friend….indeed.

Akumu

Looks like I'm gonna miss this one then, as I don't get off work until 10pm est

I can still join up next week, right?

Sage

@Akumu:

Sure.

But honestly, by the looks of it right now….due to lack of availability...I might be forced to push the pilot for tomorrow....

Akumu

By the way, the Intro is amazing!!!

I might suggest waiting until next week to do a pilot. We could organize something for wed / thurs night next week after all the chapters have been released.

With the date and time set in stone a week or so in advance, everyone can move their schedules to be available.

True but I really wanted to get the pilot off the ground this week. I also have to keep in mind people are coming home from work and school at this time. Tonight's recording is set for a little bit later so lets see what happens.

Friday might be the best time to do it anyhow.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

i would say we should do it always on wednesday(when the chap is out to that time) or maybe on sunday cause there most of the guys should be bale to have an hour for recording..^^

Sage

@Don:

Yeah, I definitely have to gather the guys together and figure out the best day and time to do it. No one likes last minute changes. Once we get the pilot off the ground we should be able to set a definite ongoing date.

Also, just wanted to welcome you to our staff! I very much enjoyed our conversation and I definitely look forward to having your input on the show bro!!

Sage

Finally recording our pilot!
