Title: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: butterflywolves on March 02, 2013, 01:56:52 pm
Hi, I've found a lot of people live on the East Coast of the USA. I mean there are many who don't, but still. I was thinking about having an Opticraft reunion so you can meet people in real life. The reunion would take place during the summer. I don't know where or what state. This is just a suggestion.

We are kids(mostly) if there were any adults, id be freaked lol. Not to mention  our parents would not let us travel for mc.

Yes I understand. It was only a thought

I actually sort of like this idea :P

Even though I wouldn't be able to attend, it'd be great to do it :P.

Anyway goalie, people go to minecon, what about this being opticon :P

I really like this idea. It would probably be somewhere in ny, maybe NYC?

This would be a much better idea if it were for Minecon or some official event.

I've thought about this before, but scrapped it because of travel costs and privileges. We could all do Skype if we wanted to.

I don't remember if Skype still makes you pay for group calls, though. We may have to use ooVoo if it does. I'll also have to get a good webcam at my Dad's.

No it doesn't :) I was in a group call a few days ago.

It seems as though it has turned from a real life renunion to a Skype call. I'll get Skype if we're gonna do it

Post by: impishmonkey on March 03, 2013, 07:08:16 pm
I've heard lots of talk about people wanting to make a big get together irl lol... Props to you for actually making a post about it..

I like what Deekay said in terms of everyone meeting at minecon or something like that... That way no one has the burden of trying to come up with a where, when, and what to do whilst there. lol

As for skype you do hafta pay for group video calls but not group calls which is basically the same as using mumble lol
Oovoo is sometimes buggy (at least... it is for me lol)
Google does video stuff too?
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: Winniedoxie on March 03, 2013, 08:55:27 pm
I like the idea of meeting in person, but it seems very unrealistic. The only way I would be able to attend this is if it was at Minecon or some place driving distance from here. Anyways, I like the Skype or Oovoo idea! I could make that work for sure.

Wasn't this supposed to be for people on the East Coast? I think most Opticrafters live there.
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion

Well it was. But meeting more people even through Skype sounds awesome too

Since I'm willing to do almost anything for Opticraft, looks like I'll be getting a Skype.
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: 2468avc on March 05, 2013, 12:28:25 am
I still think it would be cooler to meet people Irl. Something could most likely be arranged... If everyone donated $10, even the ones not going...

This would be the most awkward thing ever. Not to mention for those of use who are over 18 it looks pretty bad meeting up with a bunch of younger kids. The last thing i need is chris hansen walking in asking questions.

We already talk to each other every day and hear each other's voices over Mumble. It's only awkward if you make it awkward.

Speaking of awkward, I've already friended two Opticraft girls on Facebook, one of which is four years younger than me.

There's a huge difference between talking to someone on mumble and being in the same room as them.

Uh, don't know if this has been mentioned before, but mabye if we
could host this event on skype

people tavelling to a reunion = few people actually coming
reunion hosted on skype = lots of people coming not just from america

get the idea? I'm interested though, may put a picture of asquare skull
over my camera but I'm still interested.

I would be happy to join a big skype call.  I find skype better than Mumble because its more flexible and easy to use.

Post by: butterflywolves on March 07, 2013, 08:58:41 pm
You guys are full of great ideas. I think a Skype call would satisfy my needs. It still would be nice to actually meet you guys

Well, you could use a program called Teamviewer 8 (http://www.teamviewer.com/en/products/online-meeting.aspx) (free ofc) which supports up to 25 people.

Sorry for the slight necropost but I think I might be getting Skype over the weekend! When should we chat?

More necro!

Ages ago I started an opticraft Skype call and many people are in the group.

add me to join the group "angus.rose4"

Nice job wooden with the necro. I still haven't gotten Skype. Not sure what to do about this whole reunion thing
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: Wyboth on April 03, 2013, 07:56:42 pm
I wouldn't really call it a reunion, since we never really left. Anyways, I have Skype, and I'd be willing to start a group call tomorrow at 8 PM Central time. If you'd be willing to join it, please respond. We need a schedule or else it's never going to happen.
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: SpikeyThorn on April 03, 2013, 08:27:32 pm
Then comes the problem of time zones. 8pm might be convenient for Americans, but people in Europe, won't be so chuffed, and i thought the point of the Skype was to broaden the horizon beyond america...
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: theone7142 on April 03, 2013, 08:28:37 pm
We can have a time when the call is open, and anyone can join......  ::)
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: SpikeyThorn on April 03, 2013, 08:31:34 pm
This is beginning to sound an awful lot like mumble now... just without the push to talk
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: Wyboth on April 04, 2013, 09:50:42 pm
So, nobody responded saying they wanted to do the call. It still isn't too late.

Crap, I forgot to bring my webcam. Oh well. We can still do the call, but I'll just be a static Pokemon trainer. Also, my Skype name is Wyboth, so send me requests.
Title: Re: Opticraft Renuion
Post by: Wyboth on April 05, 2013, 12:12:03 am
Actually, I'm having a blast on Mumble right now, so I'm going to do this tomorrow.

Post by: butterflywolves on April 05, 2013, 12:22:56 am
I don't have Skype yet sorry. I'm sick today, and I don't when I'll be better. We'll have to come up with time.

Apparently, Skype will not allow video group calls, at least for free. I've said it before, but nobody listened. We all need to use Team Viewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx) if this is ever going to get off the ground. Otherwise, it'll just be Mumble. Please take this suggestion.

There's a website called tiny chat, someone could make a room and it allows multiple cam and chat :) also its very safe as you can put up a password to only allow certain people in, used it last year with friends

Here's the thing,
it's basically impossible. 3/4 of the people that play on this server are children under the age of 14, and I HIGHLY doubt any parents would approve taking their children somewhere to talk to people you met on the internet (which my parents think are all 40 year old pedophiles)

Not really but I know what your trying to say here.  We have to do a servery to find people on Opticraft who live close to each other.  You never know, maybe a mod could be my next door neighbor.

       That's a good iea, but I'm betting that most players on Opti would be unable to come, as it was said before, most of us are kids, and our parents would never DREAM of letting us go to it. Although, I believe my family IS going to NY for vacation this summer so MAYBE I could see you? I proably wont see you though sadly. I like the idea of having more irl friends on the server with me(I only have 1 sadly,Buckers100, and we currently dont really like each other on Mcraft but we do in real life. Good idea anyways though. Cya.
