    Why are teams being randed when they are forming naturally by preferred comms method?

    Oh god, don't Strawbs. Whatsap groups always descend into inappropriate images/videos being sent which automatically save to your phone and lead to awkward conversations when your husband/mum see nakey pics as you're scanning through the gallery to show them a picture.

    I mean, I imagine that's the case. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Of course, choccy. Of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,894 ✭✭✭Triceratops Ballet

    sK is right. Let the teams draft themselves. :D

    IF I was going to look at that kind of content I'd use an incognito tab or save it to an innocuous file folder on my phone rather than save it in my general gallery. Weirdo. ;)

    Just to be clear folks, everyone will be randed to a team when signups close.

    Regarding the watsapps groups there may or may not be a visual round!

    Can you not tell whatsapp to not save media to gallery though?


    Viber has that option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭jayobray


    In too, sure why not give it a go, wouldn't be the first time I haven't a breeze what I'm doing :)

    You can, but only as a general rule not specific groups (i dont think) and so if you want it to auto save family/friend pics and ur too lazy to auto delete then your phone ends up choc-full of rubbish.

    If the table quiz contained questions on whatsap settings and how to store your dodgy media I'd get on far better than general knowledge.

    Yes. You can turn off autosave for conversations or even individuals. It's very handy because I'm in groups with some absolute plonkers and some of the ****e that they send I don't want on my phone.

    Nope. Turns out I'd be just as bad at my imaginary table quiz on whatsap settings. Sigh.

    I'm already in circa 3 (4?) groups from previous games, it was something I was considering suggesting but I was worried that:
    Too much chat might move off boards
    It might look to others on the outside as clique-ish

    But I have a tendency to overthink things :pac:

    ah screw them. We're a nice bunch if people wan't to join come on in...

    I was actually thinking of a short game on discord, but a bit more involved than popcorn. over the course of a day or two only. Could also be done on watsapp.

    Wonder if popcorn settings can be changed to lengthen the days so it'd last a few days instead of a few minutes.

    Sure can, you just change the game type and then you can modify the day length etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭tusk

    You have to go into the individual chat/group and at the top of it click in and under 'media visibility' say 'no'.

    Digi ran an evening game here a while ago, was one of my first games. I loved it. I'd be up for faster games too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I’ll sign up for this if not too late. No idea what Discord is though.

    It’s like WhatsApp, but you don’t need to exchange phone numbers to join, so you remain anonymous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    We have currently 31 signed up I believe. As I only have access to my mobile for the next week, here is the schedule I'm proposing.

    Close sign ups Wednesday this week
    Create teams and get names sorted.
    Questions to be posted in rounds of 2 over 3 days, on Fri, Sat, and Sun (around midday)
    Hopefully do all results/reveals on next Monday evening.
