pbd10864-launched [FULL] - First time, help figure out UI (I know the game)

[dire zodiac]

To launch a new game, please run the command /game create_game_button, filling in the players and fun game name. This will create a button that you may press to launch the game after confirming the members are correct.

[iron moat]

You looking for new async players? I know the game but am just learning Async too

[rigid plaza]

I can help!

[raw garnet]

Ah Sweet

I realized I may have put add up at a bad time because I'm busy all day. But if you don't mind popping in and helping...

Ie, can I even start a 3 player game?

[rigid plaza]

I think you can

[raw garnet]

Can I start this one now? Or does it lock us in until we complete the full game? Is there a way to end the game early? (Not to say I can't finish one)

[spiral oxide]

You can have up to (3 + the amount of completed games) games running at the same time. You can end a game before its over by running a command. Be sure the table agrees to end it. If you want to leave a game and the other players want to go on, you can search for a replacement for yourself in #1176191865188536500

[rigid plaza]

kermit said it all

[austere vale]

In the middle of my first game but wouldn’t mind another to help me sort out the system. So if you have room for another count me in

[valid nymph]

Happy to join a learning game as a teacher

[raw garnet]

Ok. I think we have 5 then? @valid nymph @austere vale @rigid plaza @iron moat ?

[maiden saddle]

I'm happy to join? Can help with what I know

[maiden saddle]

Count me in a sixth?

[raw garnet]

Ok. So if I run the command to trigger the game, do I have to specify who is part of it?

I'll include you @maiden saddle

Although. What time zone is everyone. I guess it will be hard to learn if we are not playing together

[austere vale]

UTC -8 for me. My other learning game has a spread and I actually find it more helpful with that because it gives me more time for the teacher to point things out, explain what happened and why async adds an odd twist to it (timing windows is the biggest one that comes to mind)

[maiden saddle]

Yes, you run the command and then list out every player using their Discord name (@ cbaugh919)...that's the most crucial step... sometimes our display names don't match the actual @ Discord name

[raw garnet]

Ok . Let's give it a shot. If someone is MiA we can just cancel it. But shouldn't take long to understand the UI

[maiden saddle]

It will then create a new channel for us on one of a half dozen servers

Newer players might not have joined that server yet so they need to join before you can run the game setup

I can help with that process once you create the game

Using the / game create_game_button

[raw garnet]

Oh. I'm only in this discord channel. So there's another server I need to join first?

[maiden saddle]

Once you make the game it will assign us to a server

And then the bot will list out who needs to join

That server

Here's how those servers appear once you've joined..

The bot will give you a link to click to join and go to the game channel on that server

Steve_Rap used /game create_game_button game_fun_name: New Players, player1: @cbaugh919 player2: @tatebj player3: @rb_1986 player4: @steve_rap player5: @bralzilla player6: @clientsi

[raw garnet]

Ok. Clicking button if that all looks good

[dire zodiac]

Steve_Rap pressed the [Create Game] button
