Dominion Discord Server

After the recent outages, I got thinking it might be nice to have another Dominion hub where A) conversations are a little easier to follow than on reddit and B) the community is a bit more focused than on BGG. Being an old man, I only recently discovered Discord, which is like a chatroom/forum (text and/or voice, voice is optional) you can pop in to anytime. You don't even have to register.

One nice thing about the program is it could facilitate matching up with other players or just looking for casual games, a problem often complained about (but hopefully addressed in Dominion Online 3.0). It should theoretically also make tournaments far easier to organize since you wouldn't have to send tons of PMs; you could just chat with people on here. One-day cups could even be run almost entirely based on discussions in the discord chat.

I haven't explored every feature, but did go ahead and create a server. If anyone is familiar or interested, drop by and let's see if we can make this a thing.

I just wanted to try it out and installed Discord. But the link you gave jsh is invalid or expired, it says.

From what I recall, Discord instant invite links last only 24 hours, so that should be it.

If that doesn't work, here is an instant invite that hopefully works and has no time limit:

I didn't even know that.

It's pretty nice, actually. It's like Mumble and Skype had a child, and it wasn't made by Microsoft, so it's way better. You can download an app for it so you don't have to go to the dumb website every time, which I recommend. You can also talk to all of your Dominion friends, like IsotropicWasBetter, Errin F, and plenty more!* Also, when you sign up for Discord, you get a free object of some kind, for free! Who could turn that down?! Sign up for Discord today! You won't regret it! Unless you do.

*you don't get to talk with these people

Anyways, enough corporate shilling. I actually do recommend you try it.

If you are familiar with Slack, its kinda like that with respect to chat features, except that the built-in integrations are geared towards gaming, not IT work. It also has voice chat features for playing games with a "squad", which I assume would work out pretty decently for quick games and discussion (but I haven't tried it). It is useful to find games, and we ran a little tournament yesterday that worked out pretty well.
