He really does have a plan!

Article by Richard Smith

In an altogether interesting move the Admiralty has decided to bring back the Entertainment Department to oversee some new ideas to keep the masses happy. Taking the throne as Senior Manager is AJ, a past SM of Entertainment. We sit down with AJ to ask him what his plans are for the New and Improved Entertainment Department

BR:Thanks for taking time for an interview

AJ:It provides me with an alibi when the Rozzers come asking nosey questions...

BR:So how did the decision to re-start Entertainment go down?

AJ:Erm, I was pestering Lee for something to do around the place, and a few days later I was asked if I wanted to re-start ENT, given that I was an awesome SM before. I said yes =)

BR:You been the Senior Manager for Entertainment before, what’s going to be different this time?

AJ:More fun, less work. I don't care for reports or red-tape. I want folks to do whatever they can offer, regardless of how little it is. OTF is a hobby - I want folks to have fun.

BR:What will the new Entertainment department look like and will it have the same feel as the old one?

AJ:In parts, it'll be as it was. Trivia won't be changing, but the Gaming team is going to be totally different. If successful, I think it will outstrip Trivia in terms of popularity...! *Editors Note: BRING IT ON!!!*

BR:What are some of the ideas you would like to see accomplished?

AJ:For people to have fun. Sounds ambiguous, but I'm not doing big market plans and strategies. I just want folks to realize the fun that can be had with mates at OTF. Simple as that, really!

BR:Is there a timeline as to when you would like to have things done?

AJ:These things take as long as they take. Being a hobby, I'm not going to set deadlines for things because I don't want people to feel pressured into getting something done. Again, it boils down to having a laugh, an hour or two a week, and enjoying yourself.

BR:What kind of people are you looking for to fill new positions?

AJ:Anyone and everyone, really!

BR:Have you found people’s overall response to the new team to be positive?

AJ:Yeah, actually. Those who know about the new Gaming team in detail seem to be very excited by it indeed!!

BR:Tell us something about yourself that some people may not know…

AJ:I got arrested for allegedly (I cannot remember this as I was drunk, so it could be my friends making up fantastic stories..) urinating on a police officers shoes. =)

BR:Anything else you want to add?

AJ:Have fun, folks! Ya only get one crack at life - don't be worrying about niggly things. Drink, and be merry!

Thanks for taking some time for the Blue Report.
