Howdy Howdy!
(I like starting my posts with a general hello sorta statement)
I will be doing an interview with David Simmonds. This interview will be on entropiaradio.com exclusively for the first week or so, then I may post it somewhere...
But, anyhow,
David is the Business Development Director.
His main duties include negotiations with companies interested in becoming a partner with Mindark on some level, from Affiliates to Full planet building Partner.
I will be asking him questions related to his job. Being the uber nice person I am, I won't be pricking him with needles and asking him questions he can't answer.
So, I am inviting (and respond quick, because I'll be interviewing him tomorrow) people to now add some questions to my list. David and I will pick out questions from this thread to ask/answer.
Don't be a fucking moron and try and have him ask a question in which he can't respond to. I, once again, will NOT ask him questions that are obviously negative.
David is a great guy, and I invite you all to listen to entropiaradio.com . If I thought he was an idiot, I surely wouldn't be interviewing him, and he probably wouldn't still be employed at Mindark.

EDIT: Questions so far that I like and will be asked;
questions from other people I like...Me said:1) David, Remind us once again of your job title, and your duties...
2) So you are in charge of setting up relationships with other companies then, other than CK, are you currently working with any other companies? Are there any companies you can name?
3) Obviously Entropia Universe has become an excellent platform for other companies to get into and develop their own planet, what do you say or do to get with other companies and how do you explain it to them?
4) So, when can we expect to see planet Vivendi, or Planet Universal?
5) If you had one person at Mindark you'd like to PVP, who would it be? Why is optional
7) Getting back to your job functions, How long did it take for you to develope a relationship with CK, and what do you think was the defining moment?
Can anyone "start a business" in Entropia, or do you have to have a million dollar backup to get started? In a similar fashion, what are the requirements to even start a discussion about developing your own world/planet on the Entropia platform?
Will there be any companies ingame with smaller intentions than a whole planet?
Will some of the companies add or improve activities for us to do or just slab down a selling booth and ads?
Given that other companies will be allowed to create planets within the EU, to what extent will features currently in EU, such as items, looting & creatures apply to their systems?
I'm not sure about the question below... it may not be possible for him to answer...I'd be interested to know how Creative Kingdoms came to be involved in EU. Did MA approach them etc etc
Will MA keep it's focus on developping their part of the world or is MA really aiming for Entropia Universe to be more lika a platform and the worlds that are there now to be promotional demo's for other companies?
