SoylentNews

So, for those who saw the announcement yesterday about doing another community event, here's the follow up details.

I'm going to be hosting this on my Twitch profile, while being active in both #soylent on IRC (please hightlight my nick to get my attention), and the integrated Twitch chat itself. I'm looking for some members of the community who'd be interested in joining on a Skype call. As previous mentioned, the game of choice is Europa Universals IV, and at the start of the stream, I'll give a crash course of the game mechanics. As of writing, I've been leading towards playing as Aragon or Venice, though I'll be glad to take other suggestions.

I'm currently planning to stream between 5PM Eastern (50 minutes after this goes up) to 9PM, fielding whatever questions the SoylentNews community has for me, and will be inviting both members of the staff and those active on the stream to join me as host.

As an aside, I did experiment with EUIV's multiplayer functionality after posting the last topic. As I found, while it is functional, it is very likely to desync at high speeds, and thus causes large amounts of waiting periods, which I think would be uninteresting for folks to watch. Sorry about that. ~ NCommander
