Youtubers playing each other?
« on: December 23, 2012, 09:56:28 pm »

I haven't had many bright ideas for Dominion, but one that I want to catch on is this: you YouTuber commentators of Dominion -- PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER.  There is a whole niche of commentary and strategy that isn't being filled; namely, hearing decent players comment on the same game from opposing sides.  Don't be shy, people.  Who cares if the other guy beats you!  Maybe you'll beat the other guy!  Either way, do it for science!

This is a good idea. Who wants to do it?

Granted, the chances I'll be able to find time in the next two weeks to do this are slim because of the holidays, but I'm game for this. I have a couple of ideas on format, but that can be discussed if we have enough interest to begin with.

I'll do it.  I also asked jsh if he'd be interested.

I am interested, but it's very tricky for me to get a schedule I can pin down for it in advance at this point.

I actually had this idea before I heard about it from anyone else, almost a year ago, back when there were only a couple of us doing videos (me, jonts, michaeljb, and jsh are the only four I recall).

werothegreat and I played a couple games today. My videos are still uploading, slowly (don't know if it's YouTube, my computer, my internet connection, my video files, or some combination).

His videos are up, here:

He beat me quite handily.

EDIT: Also, we seem to have very similar commenting styles.  Except he has a lower voice and I do sillier things.

Well the second game came down to the last Province, so that game wasn't quite so "handily" ;)

My first video is finally done uploading, and there's a link for the second video for when it finishes

I will probably have some time the evening of Jan. 2nd for this. "Evening" would mean after 6PM Eastern. Would anyone like to join me?

Also, in some of my other games, I've had my opponent on Skype during the game, but also the ability to say things to the video without my opponent hearing them. I've done this by muting my microphone -- it doesn't make much sense as to why that works, but it does. If anyone else has the capability to do this, it might be interesting to have a Skype call going so we can talk to each other, but still have room for strategy talk without the opponent's prying ears...

I should be free that night, and I have Skype, but I don't need if I'd be able to handle a conference call style video.  Could be worth a shot, though.

So I usually just do the audio. When I get home from vacation I'll PM you my Skype name, since I have no idea what it is unless I have it in front of me. We could experiment I suppose...

I don't know if or when I have time. But if you see me online here in the forums, just contact me and we can play together, e.g. a 3-player game.

Hi everyone.

BTW, thanks for your interest. I'm looking forward to doing this.

I'm finally back from vacation/holiday and in full health! I'm available this Saturday the 12th any time before about 5PM EST. If anyone would like to play some recorded games that day, please let me know. PM should work, even though I don't always get an E-mail, I should be able to check it regularly this week.

Also, if you would like to attempt Skype shenanigans, we can try to work that out.

Would anyone like to attempt a dual-commentated match this Saturday, Feb. 9, some time between noon and 5PM Eastern? Let me know here or via PM if you're interested.

Cool. How about I post here when I'm around and I'll hang out in the Secret Chamber lobby. I sent PMs to people so they know how to get a hold of me if I'm not there for some reason or if you want to nail down a specific time. Who else is in?

Hey, I really want to play, but I currently can't.
How long do you have time? I could play later.

Did you mean on Goko, or on Iso?  Because I don't see you on Goko.
