OOC event proposal: Cosmographia Plays Attack the Light!

[magistermentium]

Hello all! Your friendly neighborhood ToraNova here with a proposition for an OOC event! Obviously we already have player-run IC events in Cosmos, such as Pearl's monster transformation, so here's an idea for something fun we could do together as a community that isn't necessarily RP related! And that is...



... in the style of "Twitch Plays Pokemon," more or less.

For anyone who might not know, Attack the Light is a Paper Mario-style RPG for iOS and Android based on the same thing our game is based on - Steven Universe! And even though it's a mobile game, I have a way to play it on my PC, which means I can also live stream it... but then I thought, instead of just watching me play it, why don't we all play it together?!
Here's how it would work: The moderator (that'd be me) streams the game while the viewers (that's you guys!) tell me what to do via the stream chat! When exploring a dungeon, you tell me which direction to go. When in battle, you tell me what attacks/items to use. When a character levels up, you tell me which of their stats to upgrade. And so on!
Of course, there is a very slight lag between the person streaming and the chat, but it's not so much where I think we can't work around it. If anything, it might make things more fun, heheheh~

So who would be up for attacking the light!? If there's enough interest to make it happen, I think it would be best to do it as an ongoing thing all day one day on a weekend, to ideally get through the whole game! It's not a very long game, but it would take several hours at least, so everyone would be free to come and go at their leisure! Originally I thought possibly this weekend but then I remembered it's a holiday (at least in the US) so a lot of people might be out of town or busy.
Instead I'm thinking either Saturday, July 11th or Sunday, July 12th tentatively. Being a week and a half away, this should also give people enough time to plan for it and mark it in their calendars. I just need to know from you guys which day would be better, the 11th or the 12th, or if you'd rather have it be on a different day. After that we can work out a specific starting time!

Lend me your thoughts, fellow Gems! Thanks!! <3

Oooooooooh this could be fun. Sure!

[magistermentium]

Wooo, awesome~! Which day would you prefer?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Might be better to ask the others; got a LOT of stuff going on getting ready to move, so who knows how next weekend will look.

[magistermentium]

No problem! Hopefully you'll get some time to participate whenever it happens. If not, I do plan the record the stream and upload it to YouTube afterward for anyone who couldn't make it!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, wow, really! That would be really handy. Thanks a ton, Tora!

[magistermentium]

You're welcome! <3 I've never actually recorded a stream with my current streaming software but I'm sure I can figure it out and hopefully not encounter any problems. XD I'll make sure to save the chat log and include it too, of course!

[cometkin]

This sounds great! I'd probably prefer Saturday, though, since my husband has a Pathfinder game on Sundays and I play in it.

[magistermentium]

Excellent! I actually prefer Saturday too myself, but of course I wanna work around what's best for everybody else.

[cyan_maid]

I'd be down to try it out! Saturday is also a p good day to do it in my opinion.

[magistermentium]

Sweet! And +1 for Saturday then!

[pearl_chevalier]

SOUNDS AWESOME! Let me in! I'm better on sundays when you guys are awake cause i dont have workbut saturday works too

[magistermentium]

Oh yeah, I should ask exactly how many hours ahead are you from East Coast US time (EST)? 'Cause I think it's at least 12 hours, so depending on the time Saturday for me could be Sunday for you. If you're not sure, if you tell me what part of Australia you're in I can probably look it up myself!

[pearl_chevalier]

Im in Western Australia. Im not sure what EST US is

[camparistar]

EST is -5 GMT. Revise, I know, is exactly 12 hours ahead, so you could probably ask her and she could tell you.

[pearl_chevalier]

Revise is 2 hrs ahead of me

[camparistar]

Okay Revise just told me it's like 1:30 in the morning rn for her, which means it's like 11:30pm for you?

It's about 11:30am for me, which means you're the one who's exactly 12 hours ahead and Fearless is a dumbass.

[pearl_chevalier]

Yeah thats right!

And there there *pats*

[revolutionfalcon]

/whispers "I am from the futuuuuure"

Yeah I doubt I'll be able to make this either way since I work weekends and also TIME ZONES SUCK but I'd probably be going Sunday in your time zone, ToraNova.

[magistermentium]

Haha I just checked and yeah, you're exactly 12 hours ahead! So that's... tricky since if I start the stream at say, 10 am on Saturday, that's 10 pm for you on the same day. You'd have to like stay up all night. XD; I'm sorry! I wish there was something I could do about that... especially since we've got a few Australian players in this game...

[pearl_chevalier]

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

[camparistar]

I probably wouldn't be able to stay the whole day, but I'd be willing to come in and take a peek! It sounds like fun.

Doesn't matter to me which day, though.

[magistermentium]

Yeah, I feel REALLY bad for the Australians like you, Pyra, Kururu and Revise (not to mention bossmod Freya who's in New Zealand), because it's like a 12/13 hour time difference that basically makes it night for you when it's day for me. 8C I hope you guys can still make it and join in for a little while though!

[camparistar]

I'm not Aussie, bro, I'm from New York.

[magistermentium]

... WOW REALLY welp I'm a dumbass for some reason I thought you were SORRY

[lazaward]

I am so here for this! And I'm also throwing my vote in for Saturday, that day just works better for me.

[magistermentium]

Woooo! Most of us seem to be leaning towards Saturday, so that's probably when it'll be!
