So with G+ ending, do you guys just want to pitch in to buy a spot of land and start a farming collective/gaming commune together?
Hey all.
Hey all. So I'm writing a google + mixtape post commemorating some of the great, long-running campaign on G+. Hill Cantons is at the top of my list. I'm collecting reflections and reminiscences from folks, game ephemera, session write ups and the like. I've followed Chris' blog from the beginning, and played with y'all in a late Hill Cantons phase for about 6 months, and read the Hydra Cooperative products. So I know a lot. But I still need your help to do this right. This is kind of hard one, because I know how much this game means to everyone who plays in, and how long it's been going. But I'm going to ask you try to say something about what this game has meant to you. Chris Kutalik here are some questions for you as the DM, feel free to answer none, some, or all, or totally different questions that you think of: (1) What were you trying to do with the campaign when you started it? What were your aspirations? (2) It's been running so incredibly long (1...
solid idea.
ReplyDeletethen incorporate so we can get an enterprise version of G+. ;)

ReplyDeleteThat sounds very much in keeping in spirt with this play group.
ReplyDeleteI’m genuine sad—and concerned about all the collected data/pictures/memories here
ReplyDeleteMaybe port it all to FB or Slack??
ReplyDeleteMan, I ain't know how to farm! I grew up on one and still don't know come here from sick 'em.
ReplyDeleteThe problem I've seen with things like Discord or Slack, etc. is that it's a great chat platform but because they don't have posts, like G+ or Facebook, I kind of just ignore everything everyone says.
ReplyDeleteThe big thing is it needs to be something with a scheduling feature.
ReplyDelete"i ain't gonna work on Markéta's farm no more"
ReplyDeletethe lack of a post/thread/chat distinction in Discord looks like it has very frustrating negative impacts on its utility
ReplyDeleteChris Kutalik i think you'll be able to download your own post and communities, but it's very frustrating that i'm gonna have to go and like Screencap for example the Gammahawk thread
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing "MeWe" as an option...we've moved a small lifeboat over to Discord for a few folks, but yeah, it's straight-up chat/messaging.
ReplyDeleteMeWe looks optimal as it's like Facebook but without anyone I'm related to or work with!
ReplyDeletethe very word "MeWe" fills me with idiot fury
ReplyDeleteShould've gone with I-Us. I'm confused by the whole singular object/plural subject deal.
ReplyDeleteThough I still think it's better than Discord, in terms of functionality. Whatever people choose, it'll be a nice experience in bottom-up community emergence!
ReplyDeletemewe.com - MeWe: The best chat & group app with privacy you trust. See "How can MeWe be free and make money?" which makes no sense, but OK.
ReplyDeleteCrap, when is this happening?
ReplyDelete10 months from now.
ReplyDeleteSo we have some time to figure out an alternative. Jeez, this sucks (though I guess we knew this was coming eventually).
ReplyDeleteMaybe a non-public subreddit?
ReplyDeleteFarm Commune is good - but can wee do that in New Zealand? I have a bad feeling about how the US will be treating collectives in the near-term.
I'm sort of surprised by the fact that the commune idea above was the first thing I've read today that actually made me feel like I could breathe properly again. As long as we're moving though, it would probably be best if it wasn't in the United States. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteWell, we can load up on guns and go challenge a cartel for some arable land in Mexico, I guess.
ReplyDeleteor would could all just start or keep blogging i guess
ReplyDeleteI hear Chris has an empty house in San Anton.
ReplyDeleteCan the yard grow beets?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a quarter acre so we could get a decent garden going
ReplyDeleteAll right, all right. So now all we need are matching jumpsuits and some cheap lumber so we can build shitty bunks for everyone .
