=VG= keed Posted July 9, 2020 at 09:23 AM Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 at 09:23 AM Hi there, I would like to know if some of you are interested in a big not mandatory VG social meeting with skype/jitsy or bigbluebutton? Since the member list grew I thought it might be cool to meet and greet. Thanks for your thoughts! keed 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted July 9, 2020 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 at 08:08 PM Thought Discord had something along the lines of video conferencing, but upon googling, seems there may be some limiting factors... Haven't 'video called' anyone since my kid was... a kid. The grown up ones only text, sign of the times.... don't even properly 'phone call' these days. No idea what software is the 'good one', that isn't gonna cost money, or isn't literal spyware. Personally, I prefer the anonymity of VOIP like TS3, I mean, why should I have to put clothes on to chat on the computer? Counting on you all to figure that out and decide on a 'standard' for us all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that making Direct Message Groups is limited to something like 8 people, but I am pretty sure since the whole pandemic situation, discord has allowed up to 50 or 100 people to use Discord Server channels for conferences and such. Not too sure though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= 0100011000101 Posted July 12, 2020 at 02:48 AM Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 at 02:48 AM what is this "social" that everyone is talking about? ^^ On 9.7.2020 at 10:08 PM, =VG= SemlerPDX said: Personally, I prefer the anonymity of VOIP like TS3, I mean, why should I have to put clothes on to chat on the computer? I see it similarly. i have no problem with voice chats but i don't even do video chats for work. or I just fade in a camgirl and tell you thats me...;p skype, ts and discord are enough for me.

=VG= keed Posted August 10, 2020 at 08:29 AM Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 at 08:29 AM Hey guys, yeah I am still down. But we have to change the topic from "=VG= Social Meeting" to Community Night or smth. Judging by the feedback it would be great to include regulars who are not technically "VG" but are active just as much. On the topic of anonymity: I've dicided the best way is to let each and everyone opt in if they would like to show their beautiful mug. Video Feed should not be required. We are familiar with each others voices so a microphone is acceptable to be required. If you feel differently about this please let me know. List of things that have to be decided: Software: Skype, Teams, BigBlueButton, Zoom (please not), Jitsi Meet, ... Format: Show and Tell (Some people can apply to prepare something and show some stuff related to gaming in general like PR Modders or BMS Simpits.) Online crowd games (drawing stuff) ... Time: Timzone neutral as much as possible. I think the best would be on weekends at our usual event timing. Date: During summer preferably, in the next three weeks. I am looking forward to hear from you guys about this post. Cheers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= Nyther Posted August 10, 2020 at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 at 06:57 PM Why not Discord? The true gamer platform Also we could do something like one of those bootleg Cards Against Humanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= keed Posted August 14, 2020 at 06:49 PM Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 at 06:49 PM I will make a vote about the timezone. We'll use Jitsi, as it offers the most convenient way of having multiple peeps in a chatroom with VOIP [ and Video]. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
