Title: Carcassonne Central Slack Channel
Post by: Decar on July 04, 2017, 12:46:35 PM
THIS THREAD IS NOW DEFUNCT:  GO TO: https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=6059.0

Most of you know we have been using a public IRC channel for quite sometime to organize gaming sessions, league and other bits and pieces.

Though it serves us quite well, I've been playing with Slack recently and decided to create a Slack Team just for us to try out.

One advantage is it can be used by lots of different devices (including mobile) and Slack supports multiple channels, which means we can separate certain topics (like news, league, playnow).

Once you've signed up you can post messages for others to see when the join the channel.

I think this might be quite helpful for scheduling games, because you can check if people are active, and leave them messages in case you missed them.  It also tells you people's local time zone, which is handy!  Generally it's a lot more stable than IRC too.

Some more benefits are: It also supports Direct/Private Messaging and lets you upload images and files.

Anyway, I thought we could experiment with using it -  for the moment you can request an invitations to join the Team.

I created a URL you can use to receive an invitation:
https://carcassonnecentral-signup.herokuapp.com/

Here is the Slack Channel:

https://carcassonnecentral.slack.com/

Please consider using the same screen name in the slack as you do on here too, so we know who people are!

Look forward to seeing you on Slack!

A very nice idea! We are already using Slack for our board game community and the board meetings.

I would just like to say that from my experience of this (one day), this is a very useful utility and will help the organisation of matches a lot easier if everyone competing is on board.  :(y)

After checking it and reinforcing what I said there, I think we should officially move from the mIRC platform to Slack.

I hesitate to say this without sounding like a late-night advert for a premium rate "party line" from the 90s... but: "Come and join the party! All the coolest people are there already!"

Is this just for arranging games? Or other general Carcassone chatter?

Count me in if it is for general chatter!  ;)

Tip for the new users: Use name(s) if you want them to easy find the comment by going to Activity from the dotdotdot menu.
  When I launch slack I get scrolled to the bottom so hard to find the where New starts.
  If got a tip like this feel free to post here.

Just to further advertise the Slack Channel, if advertising were needed, I was put off using the IRC chatroom a few nights ago, very late at night, where Jma03 and I had arranged to meet in the chatroom and we both waited for nearly an hour, only to find that we were both there, but could not see each other. I had to log out and come back in again so that we could talk to each other. It would appear that this is a common problem with IRC, I am told, and as I have not yet seen the same problem with the slack channel, I would recommend that we all switch over PDQ. I am trying to avoid starting games in the early hours of the morning, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Does PDQ mean pretty darn quick?

Yes. PDQ is 'Pretty Damn Quick' - Sorry!  :D

Slack has been really busy this week.

Thanks to thesteveallen for keeping it so!

We've got about 28 members now.  That's pretty good.....but I'm sure we can do better!

That has got to be the understatement of a lifetime!

Oh yes we can do much better.... but will we  >:D >:D >:D

It really is a giggle over there with the Slackers, lots of banter, lots of humour, a little on topic conversations but don't worry these soon get derailed :) come on over and say hello.

I was wondering... do you guys use discord? It is really well suited for gaming communities like this one and it does have a really high number of customization options.

I use it a lot for some games I play (well, video games) and it works quite well. And, since some people here play Carcassone online, it would be worth checking out.

Nothing happens after I have written my email address. It still wants an invite code. I might do something crazy ......

I've no idea what you're referring to.  I assume Slack sent you an email.
You're able to unsubscribe or update your email/marketing preferences under your account.
Because of things like GDPR I won't be able to do that for you.

I feel you. Upside, though, you get mail from old stuff you forgot were member in like tanning salong etc and cash in bonuses before signing off.

The summer we've had so far in Sweden is amazing. Too hot to handle for some. I love it.

It is still in use (I am on there every day), but most of the chat has now been transferred.

Like you, I usually check in every day or two, as we have some WICA discussion there from time to time. I do tend to read through the general stuff while I'm there, but had noticed it had been quiet for a few days, although that was not uncommon at weekends.

I was unaware of either until now.
Is there any benefit to being present on either/both? I'm concerned it might dilute the community here if I/we move on to other platforms?

Nonetheless an invite to the discord would be appreciated.

The Slack channel has been running for several years and has had very little impact on the forum. The Discord has only been going for a month or two, and you will need an invitation from Decar or Danisfifty I believe.

As an observer, I  reckon that the majority of content on the main Slack channel has been general chat, rather than Carcassonne related ...

On Discord there is a server for CarcC and you can also join HiG's server...

Today we had a discussion with HiG about halflings and double-sized tiles and all the clarifications from 10/2015 went doen the drain. We go back to the ealry interpretation from 2014...  >:D

I'll try to summarize all the changes... Be ready for a new earthquake in the land of Carcassone!

Sort of running both at the moment.  Need to decide which one to use. Both have some advantages over the other.

You can setup it to expire after different time, or after reaching certain number of invites, both could be set up as unlimited ;)

Not much goes on there. They don't announce anything, and they don't answer any of meepledrone's rule questions....any more.

HiG became busy with the 20th Anniversary and the fuss around Paleo...

Since then, they stayed away from Discord except during Essen in October, when they arranged some online demos.

I sent some questions to Cundco in early January 2022 just trying another channel. After more than two months of silence, I was forwarded by email to the same person serving as contact on Discord a year back.... I will try again. :o
