**** Begin Announcement: Tentative Date/Time and Game Below****
September 2nd: 01:00 - 03:00 GMT (this is September 1st, 8-10 pm CST for USA people)
Game: Quake Champions
**** End Announcement ****
I want to find out if there is much interest in doing something like a monthly SL&ENT game night. What I am envisioning is people agreeing on a date/time/game and playing together. Those who are able to stream can do so, in order to involve the other members who weren't able to make it. I would like to see it being only an hour or two long so those who can't make large time commitments can still join.
It could be a serious thing if the game night is something like which team/player can win more rounds in a given time frame or just watching the good and competitive players doing their competitive thing in like 2K, FIFA, Overwatch, CS:GO while we shit talk them in chat and on the board.
Or, it could be a less serious thing where we gather to play a game like Throne of Lies. It's a game that is similar to Mafia and Werewolf but takes advantage of the unique capabilities playing anonymously over the internet can bring.
I know this board has people from around the world so deciding on a dedicated day and time can be tricky. Splitting up the event between NA/SA, EU, and Asia/OCE regions could help with at least getting those in reasonably close timezones to each other able to play together.
If this sounds like it would be a fun thing to do, who would be willing to commit to it? I would definitely be down, especially since it would be only once a month (though we could always make it more often if people desire).

I think it sounds like a fun idea, we’d just have to figure out what the most owned platform is. I assume PS4 or PC.
I’d recommend something that either allows for a larger number of players - sports games aren’t ideal for this because of the amount of coordination needed - or something like a fighting game where there’s a spectator mode and people are in & out of matches quickly.
Like you say it doesn’t need to be something super sweaty either, something chill where people can just be drinking or whatever could work too.

There are also games like Vermintide 2 that have direct interactivity for the viewers on Twitch, allowing them to trigger a particular spawn or items and such.
I figure the game and player count of the game will depend on how many people are able to commit.

By “livefromkyoto”we’d just have to figure out what the most owned platform is. I assume PS4 or PC.
Further to this point, something that has cross-platform play might be ideal. Like base SFV is on sale for $9.99 on both platforms right now. Fortnite, FF XIV & Rocket League are cross-platform too. Out of all of those I’d rather play SF, but at least Fortnite is free.
By livefromkyoto Go To Postbase SFV
By DY_nasty Go To PostYou know everybody’s going to pick Ryu, Chun Li & Guile anyway.
Dota lads
Would be fun if we could get 10 players and evenly split the people who have played it so it wouldn't matter if everyone else went in blind
10 is probably too many though tbf

I travel way too much for work so i can't commit to a time but if i'm home i would join every now and then.
Anything going to happen with this? What game do we all own that would be fun to mess around in as a test? Overwatch or something like it?
I'd imagine it would have to be on a weekend so we can all get together. Kib mentioned splitting up by regions, but then it'd be like 2-5 people per region lol. would be cool to have a giant group.
Yeah, we are still doing this. I agree that it should be on a weekend for the most flexibility. I need people to start throwing out times they are available. Right now, I am looking at doing first weekend of each month. September 1st and 2nd is the next one. I can be available 8:00 - 24:00 CST both days.
As for games, people need to throw out ideas. I think it is ok to suggest games that people don't have, as long as it is cheap.
Throne of Lies - $10 - Mafia/Werewolf game and can support up to 16 players
Sentinels of the Multiverse - $10 - Co-op card game that is easy to pick-up and can support up to five players at once
Overwatch on PC is expensive, but many people already own it.
Monster Hunter: World on PS4 is in a similar situation.
What other games do people want to see? I'm trying to stick with games where we can have more than two people playing at once.

Pretty sure that a decent amount of us play Overwatch on PS4, as well.
Fortnite is free.
Practically any fighting game with spectator capabilities would work. Some of us run Dragonball FighterZ (PS4 mostly, I think).

By Kibner Go To PostSeptember 1st: 20:00-22:00 CSTThat’s a Saturday, right? I should be able to do that if I’m not going away that weekend.
Who can commit to that? We will figure out a game with those people.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostThat’s a Saturday, right? I should be able to do that if I’m not going away that weekend.Yup, a Saturday. If changing it to Friday or Sunday or moving the time block around would be easier, let me know. Saturday night prime time seemed like the easiest availability for no-lifers. :p
I now want to do Quake Champions since it is now free and I enjoy it and want to introduce more people to it and am selfish. Anyone second this motion?
This is still happening and I'm leaning heavily towards QC since it is free and there appears to be some people playing it.
By Facism Go To Postit would be at 4am for me which may be doable.If the east coast people are ok with it, we should be able to pull it forward an hour to give you a better chance of joining. Also, here are the GMT times just so there is no confusion with stupid daylight savings over here in the USA which I just remembered is a thing that doesn't happen elsewhere (or even everywhere in the States):
September 1st: 13:00 - 15:00 GMT (may be moved to 14:00 - 16:00 if it means more people can join)
Game: Quake Champions
By Facism Go To PostOh Saturday afternoon?dammit, no, i just suck at doing time zone conversions in my head. this link should explain what i want better: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=6,0,4335045&h=6&date=2018-9-1&sln=20-22
It would be Sunday, September 2nd from 1:00 am - 3:00 am GMT.
fucking hell im bad at this
the countdown timer that gaf used to use only allows embeds on gaf and reset... and there doesn't seem to be very many other ones. Sucks.

Got it from here: https://pending.me.uk/create-anonymous-countdown
If you want to spend time customizing it to make it better, please do.
e: the key was to look for "bbcode countdown"
Just one week from now will be the first one! Be sure to do a test stream beforehand if you will be streaming to minimize issues.
I plan on using our slaent discord to do voice. Let me know if anyone needs help getting that setup.
Be on time (i.e. waiting for party invite) or I will start without you! I ain't afraid to solo cast. :) Start adding Kibner to your steam friends list if you haven't already so I can get us all organized before the time to start the stream.

The game is F2P, but some heroes are locked until you can unlock them somehow. Or, you can buy the champions pack and get all current and future heroes unlocked:
By Facism Go To PostI've made sure i've got the time so i'll be there kibbles mate.Excellent!
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostCan I play this on a MacBook Pro?If you have a bootcamp install or want to run it through wine or something, sure! :v
Also, message me on the slaent discord or add me to your friend's list on steam when you are ready to get started. Link to my profile here.
I plan on trying to get everyone in discord for ease of communication purposes.
