Title: Quarantine call
Post by: LaLight on May 13, 2020, 10:04:23 am
Hey guys!

Playing the quarantine mafia last time I had an idea to have a video/voice call with you guys just to talk/share news/show off our cats/dogs and maybe even play Mafia if we're brave enough! :)

Is some time like Saturday convenient to you? About 12am UTC or around?

OMG I was just having exactly the same thought. Here's my concept: 2 Zooms and a Boom. I'm pretty sure you could run a game of 2 rooms and a Boom over Zoom using the breakout room feature, if we could get 6 or more people interested!

what's a Boom? I was thinking just modtexting people what they have and have them talk and all that. All the secret messages in text

Is 12 am 7 PM Central? If so, probably works for me...although next weekend is better than this weekend, but its not a huge deal

Card sharing and revealing might be hard, but might be doable using the chat function.

I've run a few Mafia games over Zoom with a few friends and its definitely possible/fun. Especially with utilizing the breakout rooms to allow Mafia to chat during the night phase :)

Card sharing and revealing might be hard, but might be doable using the chat function.
Would you have players formally announce when they want to card/color share with someone? I'm guessing so...I also wonder if you'd want to let players chat privately with each other too. IIRC when we use to run 2R1B on the forums many moons ago you could but had to announce you were doing so in the QTs or something.

Im definitely in, woohoo!

But /out as an organizer, unfortunately.  Just a willing participant in any game at any time!

Here's my list of online games that can be played well remotely.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kycLyFyg4QxDJ2kUY2Elq-tiHrR1BG3uxQpW1T9ljTc/edit?usp=drivesdk

My main criteria is that it's fun, my family will like it, and you don't need to signup or buy anything to play.  I guess a few "make an account" websites are on the list, but that's nothing my mother will ever do, so I stopped searching those out.
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: shraeye on May 15, 2020, 11:18:11 am
If you know another, please tell me! And add it!!

Ummm, maybe.

Probably.

Kinda certainly.

I think... But maybe not...

I don’t have a webcam, though.

Hi everyone!

If you want to play and/or chat...head over to lynchpool.com and I'll post the chat link there.

xoxo

I am like 75% asleep, but I wanted to tell you all something. I don't have a lot of friends IRL (I guess not more than one actually) and getting to know you all and having the time with you is really, very important to me. You are amazing.
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: Jimmmmm on May 16, 2020, 11:39:51 pm
Thanks for using LynchPool for this! Sorry that I mostly missed it, although it's great that you were able to use it without me (thanks in no small part to the testing and bugfixing done in the prior two Parties).

I would be up for again.

If you do, I'll try and make it. Though I play games online with friends a lot on Saturday evenings, and usually lose track of time

Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: SpaceAnemone on May 19, 2020, 04:19:50 pm
next Saturday then?

If it's daytime UK, is there any chance we could do Sunday instead of Saturday? I'm desperate for some call-free days, and the only ones I can reasonably free up are Saturdays.
Title: Re: Quarantine call

LaLight...what time were you thinking on Saturday?
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: LaLight on May 20, 2020, 11:39:21 pm
i was thinking same as the last (8 pm ft, was it?) but i Think if we start 3-4 hours earlier, it will be more convenient to Europeans among us
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: LaLight on May 22, 2020, 10:36:28 pm
hey! so, Saturday is already tomorrow (Today for me), do we want to consolidate? if we make a call during our daytime or evening, I can do sunday as well, but I have a game of Dominion at 23UTC.
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: gkrieg13 on May 23, 2020, 01:18:37 am
Just let me know what time in forum time and I’ll probably be there.
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: Uncleeurope on May 23, 2020, 03:52:24 am
I can probably make the same time as last time again.

In theory?

Maybe?

It’s hard to say, my schedule resembles a forest fire right now.

Would you/Calamitas/early US people be interested in some kind of video chat earlier on the Sunday, like noon forum time or something?

LaLight....it looks we are converging on two meet-ups time slots.

Tonight at 8 FT was the original plan and would likely work for yuma, Eddie, EFHW, gkrieg, joseph

Sunday 12 FT/afternoon for the Europe for Space, Calamitas, the other Europe folks

So, do you want to do both??

Cool... I am working right now, but a bit later on, I'll send a group message to the folks who have /inned + Joth.  Tell everyone to go to lynchpool and we can post the meet up link there.

I can use Zoom or google meets.  Preference?
Title: Re: Quarantine call

not really, although Google Meets worked pretty fine!

Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: SpaceAnemone on June 21, 2020, 09:17:27 am
Cool! I'm in for 2pm Forum Time :-) Is the plan to chat or play or both? If there's Mafia, I may be able persuade Maxford to join us, though I'm also looking forward to catching up and hearing about how everyone's doing!

It's Father's Day in the UK as well as the US today, so I may have to turn up a little late or duck out at some point depending on when my dad wants me to call.
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: EFHW on June 21, 2020, 10:28:51 am
There will probably be mafia in addition to chatting, so bring him along!
Title: Re: Quarantine call
Post by: WestCoastDidds on June 21, 2020, 12:22:46 pm
Okay!  I will be there!

Space, we'll play on lynchpool.com. That is Jim's site, but Maxford will need an account. He has to verify his email to sign up for a game.  If you don't have an account there (tghe ones from the beta site didn't transfer over) you'll need one, too.

We had a problem with the mafia tab always being open to me, and then anyone who had mafia before. We played around it, though.

One other issue....when we were in a game, I didn’t have a moderator tab so I couldn’t random Lynch or end the game.

As always, THANK YOU!

Yeah, I made some pretty big changes to thread access etc in the last update, but evidently didn't test them well enough due to RL busyness. Hopefully soon we can get Beta testing up and going so we find these things before they reach the main site.
