Zoom WW Game May Bank Holday (really just a virtual beers, with some games thrown in)

We are looking to organise a game of Werewolf over Zoom this weekend. If anyone is interested please post here.

This is the first time we have tried this so we will figure it out as we go!

Yeah, will give it a shot.

24-04-2020 11:14am

I’ll give it a go. Need to download zoom and work out how to use it.

Baggly · 24-04-2020 11:16am

You can run it off a browser without needing to download anything....i think?

quickbeam · 24-04-2020 11:16am

Monday, 4th May

Yeah, that's how we do it at work anyway.

24-04-2020 11:24am

I don’t have microphone or speakers on my pc. I can use headphones to listen but how do I chat? Hmmmm ????

Oh I have a laptop but it is very temperamental.

Well, now we know who the wolf is, eh, Strawbs!! :P

Baggly · 24-04-2020 11:37am

You could use your phone i think as an alternative.

24-04-2020 11:55am

I’ll find a way.

What should I wear whilst munching you all? This could be the dinner date I’ve been pining for!

No need to dress for dinner, do it as nature intended just your fur coat!

I'm busy tonight at a quiz, but free tomorrow evening.

Baggly · 24-04-2020 12:35pm

Ditto

tusk · 24-04-2020 12:51pm

I'm interested, but won't know for sure if I can until tomorrow.

Pencil me in. Also prepare for excessive profanity.

Actually, it'll have to be Saturday if it's at all, so it doesn't clash with the start of The Witcher.

Too late for tonight, and too close to The Witcher if Sunday, so really only Saturday if it goes ahead.

24-04-2020 5:51pm

Can you guys please stay away from this weekend because Stu and SK and me are holding a game.

Baggly · 24-04-2020 5:54pm

We have 4 people interested and none of us are signed up to the weeklong full game. I dont think there is a conflict?

quickbeam · 24-04-2020 6:15pm

I'd envisaged the Zoom game as more of a virtual beers, with a few quick games thrown in. Popcorn-style they take five minutes each. Other types maybe 10 or 15 minutes. I thought we might even get a few games in over the course of the evening. Like I said in the off-topic thread, a sort of make-it-up-as-you-go-along type games, like we do at beers. In my head there was certainly nothing official about what was planned to be run one of the nights this weekend.

I don't even see why anyone couldn't join us in Zoom and play Witcher. I don't think Sunday is a good idea for the Zoom game, if Witcher is launching then, but, unless Stu, sK and Perse have something planned for Witcher on Saturday, I think we could have our virtual beers with a few popcorn-like games then. If something is planned for Witcher on Saturday, I do think it's only fair to postpone anything Zoom related until another weekend.

im playing The Witcher game

Baggly · 24-04-2020 7:18pm

My mistake so. We can defer to next weekend. It's no biggie.

quickbeam · 24-04-2020 8:07pm

Monday, 4th May

Okay, changed title and poll, let's see if we can get this happening next weekend instead.

tusk · 24-04-2020 9:37pm

Wait there's a Witcher game!!!

Pretzill · 24-04-2020 11:53pm

I haven't even a clue what werewolf is - so I'm assuming a zoom meet-up may not be the best introduction? I do know zoom and all that though ●_●

Do it pretzill. If anything it will be an easier intro

Triceratops Ballet · 25-04-2020 11:44am

I hosted a few quick games with my friends over houseparty last night and it worked well, better than had hoped.
I had them close their eyes for night and when wolves were selecting a kill they wrote the names down and showed to camera, same for villagers picking lynch.
I used this generator (http://joge2660.github.io/Werewolf/) to assign roles and emailed them to everyone. Now all my friends are hooked!!

Baggly · 01-05-2020 10:13am

We still on for this tomorrow evening?

Yeah, still up for this.

Why do the poll numbers not tot up?

Baggly · 01-05-2020 10:33am

Did you change the dates? Polls go a bit mental if they are changed after being started.

quickbeam · 01-05-2020 10:33am

Monday, 4th May

Yeah, cleared the previous votes, and changed the dates from last weekend to this weekend.

Ah well. Saturday is still leading regardless.

01-05-2020 10:34am

I should be around. I’ve got zoom all sorted too

Edit: my phone isn’t auto predicting zoom yet

Ectoplasm · 01-05-2020 10:56am

I too should be around at some point. May be audio only though, vid has been tricky this week on zoom. Fingers crossed it'll be grand.

sKeith · 01-05-2020 11:09am

Baggly · 01-05-2020 11:28am

I'll be free around 9. I've a friend who wants to join in and try ww as well if that would be ok?

I can also offer a few kahoot quizzes i have ready.

Baggly · 02-05-2020 10:59am
