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

Baggly

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.

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

Baggly

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

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

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

You could use your phone i think as an alternative.

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 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.

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

Baggly

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

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.

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

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

Wait there's a Witcher game!!!

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

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!!
