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?

AwYeah @super_legit
Worth mentioning that I picked up the Jackbox pack recently, so I can host now, too.

So, last time was 8AM UTC which was a great time, however so that everyone can join, I might make it 12PM UCT instead so that everyone is awake. If there's any problems with that time then we might be able to change it.

So I can't do it tomorrow since it's Australia Day and I don't know what's planned for that, but other than that I should be free. What's the best day for you guys?
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@oilfire30: Dubai has a workday on Sunday so I can't do 12 UTC. Weird I know. Sorry, How about this Saturday, same time?

@oilfire30: oh fuck, I'm so sorry dude. I totally forgot about it. I'm out for some last minute work stuff but just happened to check the forum now, my bad! 😔
AwYeah @super_legit
yeah, sure. someone give me a time converted to US Mountain time because I'm all kinds of impaired right now.
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
Going to have to back out dudes, sorry. Mountain time is 11 hours behind me so it makes it tricky to accommodate while working. 😖

I don't think I will be able to come today at 23:00, I already have plans going drinking. But maybe I can join later

@Bartek: That would've been good, however since I sent my question at 1AM this morning, it's currently a bit late. However that is a great time for me as long as it's on a Friday or Saturday (your time)
AwYeah @super_legit
OK, so I'm broadcasting on Twitch. GMT 2200 is in about 20 minutes I believe. The stream is named "Internet Box CHAT play Hearthstone"

Had to borrow my friend's account, only to find out there is no text chat
Well that was unfortunate.
EDIT: And then I closed the tab without noticing, well that's even more unfortunate

We should do another one. I've found out that Word Spud is actually incredible, so we should play that next time.

@Bartek:
Somebody twitch stream, so us scrublords without the game can get in on the action?
My_nama_Jeff Oil
@BBurn0: Also, I can do it on my YouTube account. I know how to do a livestream on there.

Now comes the biggest problem as usual - choosing the right day and time for people across 3 continents :3

@Bartek:
Well, the middle of the night tonight, or early tomorrow my time would probably work for me. my timezone is USA CST.
