absolutezilchHey Big Zam!
Hello everyone! The Jackbox Party Pack consists of the following games:
1. You Don't Know Jack (4 Players)
2. Fibbage XL (2-8 Players)
3. Drawful (3-8 Players)
4. Word Spud (2-8 Players)
5. Lie Swatter (1-100 Players)
When I lived with my roommates, Fibbage was the most popular one. I have this game on Steam so no one really needed to buy anything and just use their tablets/phones as devices. So I was thinking as a fun activity, I could host a multiplayer gaming session/playdate for the CHAT Community and we could play Fibbage & Drawful together (or any of the ones you guys want to see from the list). The conditions for this are:
1. We need a platform to host a conference call on so you can see the screen. Skype is the one that comes most easily to mind but if you guys have any alternate suggestions from prior experience e.g. Google+ Hangouts being better(?), I'd be all ears... or eyes because I'm reading nnnngghhh...
2. We have to decide a time where everyone would be available. The users on the site are spread across three continents however and that may prove to be a little difficult but I'm sure we can reach a consensus. I understand some of you might have work/school so I'm aiming to do this either on a Saturday or Sunday when everyone's relatively free.
3. Ideally you guys would have functioning microphones (even the in-built ones in your laptop will do) so we can communicate on Skype. If you are rather audio-shy, I can totally understand if you're not comfortable with being on a conference call with spooky strangers and you can mute your microphone on the call. ALSO, I hear Drawful is much better on a tablet than a phone so ideally you guys would have those but a phone is totally fine (in fact perhaps even more chaotic and funny). If you have neither, your computers will totally suffice.
So here's the plan of action. If you would like to participate in this, post your preference (GH Hangouts, Skype, anything else) in a message below. If you prefer not to advertise your Skype account, you can add mine which is 'zamanabbas92' and make sure to include your Internet Box account name in the invitation so I know it's you and I'm not adding a sex robot.
Also in the message below, include a day and time you would most probably be available this week. Convert it to an international time zone though like UTC or GMT so if enough people respond, I can make a poll with the most popular dates, we can consolidate and do this thang! I have a very flexible schedule this week so save sleeping time, I can take pretty much any time.
You can also post your sexual preference here but that would be weird and I don't know why you'd choose to do that... you weirdo...
P.S.: If you guys haven't played Fibbage or Drawful before, Achievement Hunter have fairly lengthy Lets Plays on those games so you can check those out to see if you're interested in this.
I will only decide to do this if a minimum of four people (three besides me) are interested but obviously... a maximum of eight, so the first seven to be interested in this I guess?

Wait, I want to change my vote to saturday as well. Also, is anyone else calling this group the CHATbox group in their heads? because if it's just me, I'll stop.
edit: Oh, also, I'm in
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
K, I think we have enough people to doooo this.
Saturday 2000 GMT ok with participants? That's basically around 12 hours and 20 minutes from now.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@Bartek: I believe the hangout is still there. I think we can still use that. I'll drop the link here again though.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
For people not on the hangout already, here's the link:

So far, there's four people in the call. I'll start a game of Drawful in ten minutes to keep people on the call entertained. If you guys join the call in between a running game, you'll have to wait for that game to end in order to join the game.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
That was fun. I suppose it's a good idea to not upload this considering I might get SWATted or something. xD
That's even more insane considering I'm in the UK.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@oilfire30: Sorry bruh, in a bit of a bind for about two weeks. If someone buys the game though, you guys can host it. It's $25 on Steam.
AwYeah @super_legit
@Bartek: I tweeted to him for the first one. he responded, said he would but he was busy. it was about 15 minutes before the first one started, though

I now have an actual headset so I don't have to wear headphones and attach a mic to my shirt individually. Also my voice should have at least 20% less aids in it.
Also we should try word spud because with our humor it can get insane.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@Zac: I'm glad as well because I used to have to use a clip-on microphone and a separate pair of headphones, which was a huge pain if I had to leave for at all.

@Bartek:
I just started college this week, I'm 100% on for sleep this weekend. Speaking of which, one of the Polish guys in my course is named Bartek, I never knew it was a Polish name and always assumed it was just an online handle.

absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@oilfire30: Oh sorry, I'm GMT plus 04 now. Back in Dubai now.
Also there's too many guests around the house right now for me to indulge in the Jackbox festivities, sorry. Did I mention I'm engaged? (Arranged)
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@oilfire30: Just to confirm, I have the game so I can host if arrangements can be made in time.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@Zac: I can't come, going out and then on holiday for a week. If you could host the game you could try and get some people together.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@AwYeah: I do! But I'm in China at a trade expo at the moment :c I might be free two weekends from now.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@AwYeah: That's ok, I'm still on holidays until February. We just need a time and day to agree on.
Bartek
I'm out of the town this weekend (5-6.12). Other than that if we can start playing like 22:00 my time I'm down every day.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@Bartek: Yeah, maybe the 13th? The 13th would meet everyone's date requests, all we need is a time.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
Would 12 hours earlier be ok? It would mean starting at 6pm AEST, 8am UTC, and 9am CET all on the 12th.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
Did anyone check out Jackbox Party Pack 2? The Giantbomb guys think it's relatively disappointing compared to its predecessor but their new Fibbage game in that pack has 500 new questions.
I'm almost tempted to fork out the dough on this...
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@absolutezilch: I might check it out eventually. I've only seen proper gameplay of fibbage XL, Bidiots, and Quiplash.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@oilfire30: I see. Fibbage XL is in the original Jackbox Party Pack but yeah, Fibbage 2 is pretty much the same game in Party Pack 2 but with new questions.
My_nama_Jeff Oil
Going to have to change plans on when the playdate is. IT WILL BE THE SAME TIMES, but different dates.
EDIT: NVM, just thought I had something on during the Saturday, forget the poll it's still on the regular date.
- Saturday the 11th
1 - Monday the 13th

I'll post the link for the hangout 30 minutes prior to playing games. These are when the games start.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
