Regarding the request for interviewing a gamejacker.
IMHO: Any attention paid to any gamejacker is feeding the trolls. They do it because they want the attention. Asking to interview them makes them feel important and encourages additional gamejacks.

Yes, plus how would you even know they really are the gamejackers? They could be gamejacking someone else's gamejack.

I would also like to interview a few people from Unfiction for my next podcast,
Off the top of my head I'd like to interview MrToasty , Euchre , Kingpin , or Red Walrus .
But, let me know who you would like me to interview.
All of the above are good choices, and maybe throw (i spell his name wrong everytime, so sorry) Melampus. He's an excellent choice also.

Speaking of Kraker...where has he been hiding? Haven't seen a post from him in a while...
I'm still lurking around. Don't worry, I'm still with you guys.
I'd be delighted to do it, I just gotta get some things organized.

Might I assume dib will also be interviewed? I'm sure the picture I provided him with (don't hate him for it )is enough reason as it is.
And if you can't find the picture, keep in mind dib has already linked you to it on this page.

I think the important difference with the Buck and the adshel poster hoax was that they DID disclose it, and meant it to be as funny in the end for us as it was for them. The persistent and truly trollish gamejackers - the ones that never come forward and admit their jacks - are the ones we wouldn't want to encourage.
I think it might be interesting to see Dr. Awkard interviewed - the topic of 'rule breakers' and real account hacking should be an interesting insight.

Forgive me if I'm out of line, but wasn't hacking JamielovesTeddy considered IG? Sort of set the precedent......
Doc was at least honest about it. Was in Buck myself, as were alot of people. Sometimes you need to step out of the box, or be destined to sit inside and complain about your situation.

I would go for any of those interviewees, but I also think you should consider Eddy for interview. Y'know, what with that little thing called THE EFFECT and all.
What time is 7pm EST in New Zealand? Can someone helpa me?
EDIT: I think it's 12pm in NZ when it's 7pm on the Eastern Seaboard, but can someone confirm that? I'm confuddled. Nevertheless, I'll be on the chat board to meticulously interfere...I mean, contribute to the podcast.

isn't NZ across the IDL? if so that would be about roughly 8AM, if not it'd be about what you said, japan is 13 hours ahead of EST time, so that would make it 8AM there, not sure about NZ
