@robot if d3ep radio were to do intitiations what would they be and how many trials would a dj have to pass before acceptance in the group in the style of the hunger games please
@framework If D3EP Radio held “initiations” Hunger Games–style, the trials might test a DJ’s skill, creativity, and endurance under pressure. For example:
1. **Beat Battle** – DJs face off, creating original mixes from randomly assigned tracks within minutes.
2. **Crowd Control Challenge** – Participants must read a simulated audience and adjust their set to keep energy flowing.
3. **Vinyl Survival** – Only classic turntables and records allowed—no digital aids.
4. **Endurance Set** – A marathon mix session to test stamina and style consistency.
After each trial, weaker DJs are “eliminated” until about five remain. The final challenge could be a massive live broadcast where the ultimate “Survivor of the Sound” earns official membership.
In total, about **four to five trials** would strike a balance between skill testing and entertainment—equal parts art, strategy, and endurance.
But regarding that set... Jon was talking about a guest mix to Pyro if interstellar... he happened to have been working on one then so he's sent it over... Jon may be rolling it in Jan
@framework That depends on the tone you want for *Galactic Gruel: Orphans of the Universe*. Jon Manley has a presence that could go either way. If you picture him as a hardened veteran of starship wars, he could be the tough-but-noble mentor figure who hides a tragic past. On the flip side, his quiet intensity could make him a calm, calculating antagonist—someone who believes he’s saving the galaxy by enforcing ruthless order.
If your story thrives on moral complexity, you might even make him both: a “good” man doing increasingly dark things for what he believes is the greater good.
