How do you guys play in real-time? Amy's location says Michigan but Gojoes says NZ?

o_O It must be like some awkward hour?

by **Sungura** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 3:24 pm UTC

It varies and has not happened as of recent. Happens more over holidays....we did a lot the last week or two of December when most people are home more and not as out and about and busy. Most of the skype players are in the US so at most spread we have Kells over in Seattle and one or two in mountain time and most of us are in Eastern time.Then the few randoms...Jesse used to play some, so he's +5 from me. Gojoe is +16 from me so at nights when I'm on are mornings when he's on. Sorta. You'd be surprised. And when he works night shift we can chat during the day because we work the same hours.

We really should try and get on skype again...

by **Adacore** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 5:40 pm UTC

Yeah, I've said before I'm up for it if I happen to be around at the right times.

And yes, the time zone thing can be a problem - for example, taking a random selection, I'm from the UK, AngrySquirrel is from somewhere in northern europe (Denmark? Norway? I can't believe I don't remember that), lanicita and Brook are from the eastern US, Kellsbells is from Seattle, Gojoe is from NZ and maj is Australian.

If you really want to you can coordinate people over those timezones though, you can do it - I play in a NFL Fantasy Football league with some guys from another forum and we had a live draft last week. 14 players including one from New Zealand and 4 from Europe. I think we did it late-afternoon in the States, which was evening in Europe and early morning in NZ. You can shift that later to be late-night in Europe, evening in the States and early afternoon in NZ, which is more typical for us on IRC, I think.

by **Sungura** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:10 pm UTC

AngrySquirrel is from Norway (utc + 6). Looking at my skype list I also have...
Gojoe - utc + 16
Azreal001 - ? EST (eastern standard, utc-5) though I think
CF - utc-5
CVsoul - utc-7
Vox - where did he go? I think he is utc-5 too
Felltir - utc
jesse - utc
kells - utc-8
maj - uh...utc+14? (when it's 8am here it is midnight there so whatever that is)
ootd - utc-8
hahahaha guys I still have La Chevre!! That is scary.
Tigerlion - utc-5

by **Azrael001** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:15 pm UTC

I am Canadian (Peterborough, Ontario), and Amy is correct, I am in the EST.

by **Gojoe** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 8:14 pm UTC

Yes az001 is a crazy canadian!
I am up for a skype game after I get back from aussie

Or maybe I could convince matt to play with me while im over there. If you start playing, someone somehow contact me by sending me a text message (I think amy and maj have my number)

by **kellsbells** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 8:42 pm UTC

Ooh, I guess it's just me and OOTD reppin' UTC-8. I could totally be up for some skype mafia. It's been ages!

Also I can still own you at Mario Kart.

No you aren't. Also, I recall the last time we played I did quite well cause I started cheating*.

*using a gamecube controller.

by **Brooklynxman** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 12:33 am UTC

Im up for a skype game as soon as we dig up a webcam, that will be atleast a few days though.

So...you're saying I don't have to put on my pants...

by **Angua** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 1:17 am UTC

I'd like to try one if it happens before next week Saturday. Once I get to university things might be hectic.

Well once you start table dancing again you have to turn on your web cam.

Kells uses a gamecube controller. Also, that is how I started to do better. I EVEN WAS ABLE TO GET MY BLUE SPARK MOJO BACK!!!

by **crucialityfactor** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 2:11 am UTC

QED Kells is a cheater.

*cough*

by **ameretrifle** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 4:16 am UTC

Oh really? I always throught there were webcams involved. Which I do not possess. But I actually do have a microphone now. Huh. I admit it, all I know about skype is from when I've seen people use it on the Oprah show >_> <_< Yes I am a hermit. And my mother watches Oprah.

I'd have to know when it'd be beforehand ('cause I've got a couple classes to deal with late at night and my poor little old laptop isn't great at handling anything more complex than Youtube), but if I can show up, I'm happy to give it a whirl. ^^ Another UTC-5, but my hours are... irregular... anyway

by **Sungura** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 12:49 pm UTC

Skype doesn't allow for group webcaming, only group calls.

by **kellsbells** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:44 am UTC

We should doooooo this before I go back to uni and get all busy and stuff. So... before Thursday, please? Anyone?

by **Angua** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:05 pm UTC

by **Angua** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:23 pm UTC

I should be able to make that.

by **Azrael001** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:29 pm UTC

I have class until nine today, so I may or may not be a bit late. I will do what I can to show up.

by **crucialityfactor** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:43 pm UTC

If I get my reading done. I'll be there.

by **Brooklynxman** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:13 pm UTC

I'll see if I can dig up a webcam or mic.

by **Princess Marzipan** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:03 pm UTC

One hour remains until I return from school.

by **Angua** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:23 am UTC

Where do we put our skype details?

by **Brooklynxman** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:28 am UTC

We are digging out a camera as I type (or right after)

by **Azrael001** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:34 am UTC

Cameras are not a requisite. Microphones however are.

by **crucialityfactor** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:48 am UTC
