I’m out this year. Did it the past few, but I just end up putting the stuff in a drawer and forgetting about it. Love that they do it, and will be happy to catch the highlights.
I feel dumber after reading the faq. I see there is a day one preview… Do they eventually show all six items? Do they sell out before day six? Or is it different items depending on the day you buy?
@RiotDemon They’re over half gone- there’s a big counter on the front page. I keep getting emails from an NPR station on Chicago they gave me a membership to.
They also donate to charities and do weird stuff. One year they bought a castle and made everyone king or queen for a few minutes. You could fill out a form and have stuff you said creep across a webcam of the castle.
And the bought a Picasso drawing and we got to decide if they donated it or chopped it up.
@RiotDemon one year they purchased an isand off near maine and renamed it Hawaii 2. Gave everyone a deed to one sq foot, and a flag to go there and stake your claim.
Each year there als has been a hidden game where the online community tries to solve it. Typically leads to some prizes.
I’ve participated in most of the CAH holiday promos*; none are especially wonderful, but then it is $15 and they (mostly) give the profits to charity… you get a few special cards, usually some customized with your name and/or other personal details, plus some other crap that is likely not worth $15 to you. If you are doing it to get stuff, you have missed the point.
Being king for eight (?) minutes was not one of my favorites and the socks were way too small for me (I think I gave them to my daughter), but owning a square foot of an island up in Maine is kinda cool and I felt the holiday hole was a reasonably appropriate comment on 2016. I look forward to owning a wee bit of land on our southern border.
*No, I did not buy the bullshit (it sold out before I could order any). It was extremely clear that CAH was selling actual bullshit and anyone surprised by getting actual bullshit was a moron (and likely still is). Those who complained about it publicly are fucking morons (who announced their stupidity to the world) and/or trolls.
@baqui63 Other than the socks, the Hanukkah event was completely and utterly awesome. In pure CAH form, I got some hilarious cards and “gifts”, but the letters ended up being serious, and they were wonderful reads.
The two that got me straight in the feels were the letters that described how part of the money raised by the holiday event was supposed to be used to pay for a week’s vacation for the people that worked in the printing factory they use.
After more-or-less apologizing that they use a Chinese company to keep cost down, they went on to explain that the concept of “vacation” (or any other paid time off) is completely foreign to the Chinese. This is something that we more-or-less take for granted - rights that workers that came before us fought so hard for.
CAH ended up buying out the factory for a week and refused to send print jobs with one stipulation - the workers would receive a week’s pay but not come to work. The Chinese factory owners thought they were nuts.
The next CAH holiday letter enclosed pictures of some of the workers on their vacations with little notes about what they did. Several visited family and friends that they haven’t seen in many years. One said that he thought that he’d never see his parents again until their funerals.
I threw out a few bucks hoping to be entertained. I never thought I’d get that much out of it. CAH is run by the most amazing group of complete assholes ever to troll the interwebs!
@fait Yes, I received and read all of the letters and completely agree that the Chinese factory vacations were sources of major feels. I too believe that CAH is one of the better companies out there.
@Pantheist I’m thinking the idea is that CAH buys the land, then deeds it out in small pieces to each of the promo participants. The gub’mint can still do the em’nint domain thing, but they’ll have to do it like 150K times, which will take like eons and delay the building of the wall there. IANAL tho, so it could be little more than another hole.
I did like the video, especially the interview with the old millennial dude.
@baqui63 Why put the lawyer on retainer then? I’d presume it would be harder to use eminent domain buy out the many owners of large plots across that huge stretch of land than a bunch of people owning 1 square foot that probably won’t be assed to do anything about it.
@Pantheist I imagine that it wouldn’t take a lot of money upfront to buy out 150K land owners. But think of the cost of the delay. The cost of the delay could be a lot more expensive than the buyout itself.
As LMM wrote in “Stay Alive” from Hamilton - “Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight.”
I’m guessing in this case, a LLC would be actual owner, but probably stipulates that any changes to the land would require the approval from the 150,000 who bought into it. And that’s where the “tie up in the legal aspect” comes in.
@sammydog01 holy Fuck. I made it just in time. The counter kept locking up my browser. I just finished checking out a couple of minutes ago on my way home from work.
@RiotDemon I answered honestly. I figured it would be used to show that it’s not just one group of people against the wall but it’s folks of all ages, races, backgrounds and economic statuses participating.
@RiotDemon Well for past events, they’ve used the answers provided in the survey to tailor “gift” cards to individual buyers.
I was absolutely floored when I realized my cards hearkened back to my survey answers. For a stunt that only cost me $10 or so that thousands (millions?) of people got in on, I never expected anything tailored to individuals. It really made me feel like CAH values each and every one of its fans.
Now I feel bad that I didn’t see this in time and li didn’t get to didn’t save America’s.
Hey youse slackers reading this:
You better whup CAH good, and make sure they follow thru on this.
Fun FAQ
I DON’T LIKE THAT YOU’RE GETTING POLITICAL. WHY DON’T YOU JUST STICK TO CARD GAMES? Why don’t you stick to seeing how many Hot Wheels cars you can fit up your asshole?
@mikibell I got 2 cans of each kind of Prongles. I have no idea what the hell I bought but I don’t care. CAH is the only site I buy crap from on Black Friday and crap is what I expect to get. Not literally this time, of course. That was a couple years ago. I also got in on the Texas/Mexico land deal and I have a license for Hawaii 2 so I guess none of this means anything.
@mikibell Yes I will. I hear they’re just chips, but there’s got to be something else to it. I’m not sure how Pringles is letting them get away with this at all.
@RiotDemon according to reports the targets pulled all the CAH decks and merch keeping with the “we are a snack company now because it is more profitable” lol
Research about packaged food sales shows that one sustainable biz model is if there is a solid ongoing supply and distribution network, not an instant sellout.
But I’m sure CASH will figure out the kinks. Perhaps they see their packaged food biz methods as a new paradigm.
I just got my Prongles delivered, and other than tasting like real potatoes (which the label says they are) they are pretty much Pringles-shaped potato chips. I haven’t compared the labels yet.
I also have a certificate for a piece of land on the Texas/Mexico border.
@RiotDemon Just got mine today but I’m not talking about it. Except for the closing part of the letter in which CAH said “I love you” because I think this is the best relationship I’ve ever been in.
@mikibell that’s why I didn’t do it yesterday. Didn’t want to spoil anything. I know there’s people that want to know what we get. Did you at least get day 1?
No spoilers! I bought this for my husband for Christmas and so far I’ve managed to snag both letters from the mailbox before he got home. I’m hoping to keep the rest a secret from him AND me also.
/giphy secret present
@looseneck May I suggest you stay off the thread? If you have the willpower to not open the envelopes it should be a piece of cake. (I couldn’t do either.)
@RiotDemon someone bought it for them I can understand. Knowing how much I make and being told I was in the top x% Made me worry about the bottom % knowing my debt level too…
As one among the 139,985, I appreciate what went on.
From the FAQ:
I’M POOR AND I’M MAD THAT I DIDN’T GET ANY MONEY.
Our bad. We had to guess how much money you had with limited data. The US government actually knows how much money you have and has trillions of dollars to redistribute. Why don’t you get mad at the US government?
@therealjrn It’s “only” 5 bucks off, but it rarely is discounted.
You can try the online version to see if you would like it. (It is obviously better with lots of friends) https://pyx-3.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp
@ELUNO@sammydog01@arielleslie I’ll look up Apples to Apples for the kiddos, maybe get the CAH for “adult nites” here. But usually that means a bowl of popcorn and watching Murder She Wrote with my cat…
@arielleslie@ELUNO@sammydog01@therealjrn make sure the adults you play with also have a sense of humor. When I got to debut this at Christmas eve, there was a whole group of people that showed up during the game, and promptly left. I guess they didn’t like it.
@RiotDemon we played with extended family at Christmastime. I was worried at first but my aunt came up with the raunchiest answers consistently. A good time was had by all, but I can’t imagine having played it with my parents like my cousins did.
@djslack I played with my father and his new wife recently. Nothing like having to look your father in the eye after teaching him what a fleshlight is.
My mom and brother were both there. There was a few things that had to be explained to the older generations, but there was some things that I just said, nevermind, you don’t want to know.
For the life of me, I can’t remember what crossed the line.
@Cerridwyn@sammydog01 Yeah, I have just the 14 year old girl who would probably be blushing. The other 3 go from 9 yrs old on down. My daughter and son-in-law might like it, but who is going to cover the little one’s ears? Plus if @sammydog01 (as worldly as she is) didn’t know what a fleshlight was, I don’t want to have to explain it to my daughter.
Yeah, it’s using that link I posted. CAH is “Open Source” so they let people use the game as long as they don’t try to sell it. They even have the whole deck on PDF so you can print it yourself. https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/pdf/CAH_MainGame.pdf
I’m reading through the cards right now. One of the answers is “assless chaps” Somewhere recently somebody pointed out that all chaps are assless, otherwise they would be pants.
Was just going to post this! Love these guys.
Hanukka thing was crap. Worst socks ever.
@walarney I know, right? Didn’t even come close to fitting. Let alone the crappy quality. This time will surely be better.
@medz
/giphy optimism
@medz found the socks in the “gift” box … going to give to my 3 yo great nephew! They might just fit him!
I’m out this year. Did it the past few, but I just end up putting the stuff in a drawer and forgetting about it. Love that they do it, and will be happy to catch the highlights.
@ACraigL hates america
@medz lol. According to facebook comments I do.
I only have the basic box set. Is this a good idea for me?
@RiotDemon You will only get a few cards. And a tiny plot of land on the Mexico border.
Thank you for the heads up!
To thank you for the heads up I have made a donation in your name to the human fund!
I feel dumber after reading the faq. I see there is a day one preview… Do they eventually show all six items? Do they sell out before day six? Or is it different items depending on the day you buy?
Thanks for educating me.
@RiotDemon last year they dug a giant pit!
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/28/cards-against-humanity-hole
it is 6 items, it will sellout before December (aka before day one is mailed).
The year before the pit they did “9 sensible gifts for hanukkah” (mostly socks).
and the year before that they sold bullshit.
@thismyusername mmm garbage.
@RiotDemon They’re over half gone- there’s a big counter on the front page. I keep getting emails from an NPR station on Chicago they gave me a membership to.
They also donate to charities and do weird stuff. One year they bought a castle and made everyone king or queen for a few minutes. You could fill out a form and have stuff you said creep across a webcam of the castle.
And the bought a Picasso drawing and we got to decide if they donated it or chopped it up.
It’s not so much stuff as experiences.
@RiotDemon but very very funny garbage
@RiotDemon People were upset when they ordered poop and got poop.
@RiotDemon And last year they sold this:
https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/trump/
It was funnier before election day was over.
@sammydog01 that’s funny. Every time I looked at the counter, it was all jumbled. I thought they were just fucking with me.
@RiotDemon The Hot Wheels line in the FAQs made me giggle.
@thismyusername Also the kwanza and christmas promos… and maybe a few more?
@baqui63 oh yea I’m sure I missed many… they are crazy in a good way.
@RiotDemon one year they purchased an isand off near maine and renamed it Hawaii 2. Gave everyone a deed to one sq foot, and a flag to go there and stake your claim.
Each year there als has been a hidden game where the online community tries to solve it. Typically leads to some prizes.
Lots of redit threats about this every year.
@sammydog01 My three minutes of queendom were wonderful. And came up around lunchtime, so I was able to savor the whole thing!
I read the title of this thread as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Thing. It’s possible I need to take a few days off.
@mtb002 If you work in the medical profession yes, probably.
Okay, I bit.
let’s see what comes in the mail next month
I’ve participated in most of the CAH holiday promos*; none are especially wonderful, but then it is $15 and they (mostly) give the profits to charity… you get a few special cards, usually some customized with your name and/or other personal details, plus some other crap that is likely not worth $15 to you.

@fait Yes, I received and read all of the letters and completely agree that the Chinese factory vacations were sources of major feels. I too believe that CAH is one of the better companies out there.
@fait Now that is pretty amazing.
For $15 …
Most likely
Cannot predict now
/8ball CAH?
/8ball Catshirt?
Do you actually own the land or just a map of it? I took it as a map, but posts here sound like it’s the same as the square foot on the island.
@Pantheist From what I can tell, the land will be owned. It’s the only way they’d be able to fight the eminent domain aspect.
@narfcake Owned by them you mean, not the buyers. Right?
@Pantheist Right.
@narfcake
A soveriegn Indian tribes owns I think about 60 miles of border.
They have lawyers. They have sworn,***“NEVER”***
@Pantheist I’m thinking the idea is that CAH buys the land, then deeds it out in small pieces to each of the promo participants. The gub’mint can still do the em’nint domain thing, but they’ll have to do it like 150K times, which will take like eons and delay the building of the wall there.

As LMM wrote in “Stay Alive” from Hamilton - “Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight.”
@fait
This administration Does Not Care about the cost of the fight.
I have no idea what will happen in the courts.
It remains to be seen if the citizenry, during coming elections, acts against the cost of this administration.
@PantHeist, what @fait said.
@baqui63 shrug It’s a nice enough thing to give money for, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on actually owning the land personally.
@Pantheist I would guess it’d be structured like Hawaii 2 under a LLC.
http://cah.tumblr.com/post/110099027175/cards-against-humanitys-private-island-by-jenn
I’m guessing in this case, a LLC would be actual owner, but probably stipulates that any changes to the land would require the approval from the 150,000 who bought into it. And that’s where the “tie up in the legal aspect” comes in.
Down to 6000 left.
@sammydog01 4600. Going fast.
@darkzrobe Under 2000. And why am I watching the numbers go down?
And sold out.
@sammydog01 holy Fuck. I made it just in time. The counter kept locking up my browser. I just finished checking out a couple of minutes ago on my way home from work.
I had no idea they were so close.
@RiotDemon
/giphy happy dance
And its gone.
Does anyone else feel like that ultra personal survey is going to be used to troll us in some way?
@RiotDemon
Most definitely. I have a feeling we’d better have a sense of humor about ourselves.
@RiotDemon I answered honestly. I figured it would be used to show that it’s not just one group of people against the wall but it’s folks of all ages, races, backgrounds and economic statuses participating.
@RiotDemon In the past, they’ve used the survey to generate some entertaining(?) statistics. https://cardsagainsthumanity.com/survey/
@walarney thank you, this was entertaining.
Now I wonder what my preferred pizza topping has to do with who I voted for.
@RiotDemon I predict that goat cheese topping will correlate with Sanders votes.
@RiotDemon Well for past events, they’ve used the answers provided in the survey to tailor “gift” cards to individual buyers.
I was absolutely floored when I realized my cards hearkened back to my survey answers. For a stunt that only cost me $10 or so that thousands (millions?) of people got in on, I never expected anything tailored to individuals. It really made me feel like CAH values each and every one of its fans.
@fait thanks. I’m excited to see what happens!
I tried to send money but they were sold out. You all will have to save America without my help.
Now I feel bad that I didn’t see this in time and li didn’t get to didn’t save America’s.

@Bogie Me too…and I would have even given them the Ameros had I found out in time
once the goodies start to come we should do a thread because we might not get all the same thing, that could be a part of the survey

Anyone get prongles?
https://www.originalprongles.com
@mikibell I wasn’t fast enough. I did download the music though.
@mikibell just saw it this morning. No prongles for me.
@mikibell I got 2 cans of each kind of Prongles. I have no idea what the hell I bought but I don’t care. CAH is the only site I buy crap from on Black Friday and crap is what I expect to get. Not literally this time, of course. That was a couple years ago. I also got in on the Texas/Mexico land deal and I have a license for Hawaii 2 so I guess none of this means anything.
@melwin will you post when you get your prongles…curious to see what you get!
@melwin you’re probably going to get delicious chips.
@RiotDemon They’re going for twenty bucks on Ebay.
@mikibell Yes I will. I hear they’re just chips, but there’s got to be something else to it. I’m not sure how Pringles is letting them get away with this at all.
@melwin I dunno, there was the year they sold bullshit, and you got actual bullshit. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just chips with a funny label.
@RiotDemon And they’ll give our money to charity. I know how this works.
I still have one of those boxes of bullshit too. Best Christmas gifts ever.
@melwin What if they’re the ones manufacturing it for them?
I’m in on the campaign but I missed out on these …
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@melwin cool beans!
@narfcake they seem to be made by the good crisp company and they ring up as “toys and sporting goods” lol
@thismyusername wtf, target had them?
@RiotDemon some did I guess, I have not dared go near a store yet… hoping I see some when I get there.
@thismyusername this explains why they are selling on eBay already.
@RiotDemon according to reports the targets pulled all the CAH decks and merch keeping with the “we are a snack company now because it is more profitable” lol
@thismyusername … Wut.
@thismyusername
If CAH got Target to go in on the joke, that’s great.
If CASH is just jerking around the retailers, meh.
Except it’s cool if CAH jerks Amazon around.
@RiotDemon
@thismyusername yeah, I saw that. Just found it odd that target is in on it.
@thismyusername
Research about packaged food sales shows that one sustainable biz model is if there is a solid ongoing supply and distribution network, not an instant sellout.
But I’m sure CASH will figure out the kinks. Perhaps they see their packaged food biz methods as a new paradigm.
@f00l maybe whoever got the CAH saves America promo will get a bunch of Prongles instead.
@RiotDemon
Maybe CAH can turn a desert spot along the border into a hazardous Prongles dump site.
@f00l In 30 years when it’s dug up, it might be worth something.

@narfcake spoiler alert!
@narfcake Did you check out where your piece of land is located? Pretty sweet spot!
I just got my Prongles delivered, and other than tasting like real potatoes (which the label says they are) they are pretty much Pringles-shaped potato chips. I haven’t compared the labels yet.
I also have a certificate for a piece of land on the Texas/Mexico border.
@melwin cool… and thank you for remembering!
@mikibell My first thought when the package got here was that I needed to share with you guys. They’re actually better than Pringles.
@melwin awwwww…
Day 2 showed up yesterday. The Norway sticker was right on top and made me smile. I’m not home otherwise I’d post it.
@RiotDemon shhhhh some of us are far behind in the mail cycle
@RiotDemon Just got mine today but I’m not talking about it. Except for the closing part of the letter in which CAH said “I love you” because I think this is the best relationship I’ve ever been in.
@melwin Leave my partner alone!
@ELUNO I hate to say this, but I think they’re cheating on you.
@mikibell that’s why I didn’t do it yesterday. Didn’t want to spoil anything. I know there’s people that want to know what we get. Did you at least get day 1?
@melwin did you get the Norway sticker? Curious if we are all getting the same stuff.
@RiotDemon I did.
@RiotDemon Yes I did.
@RiotDemon have day 1…finally received day2!
So day 2 had something for everyone even if you didn’t chip in cash. I’ll try to hide the link.
It’s here
Coming Soon
@sammydog01 It’s live!
@therealjrn I bookmarked it and plan on checking it out every day.
@sammydog01 Donald Trump wins another term?
@sohmageek Is that good news?
Does this have anything to do with anything?
@KDemo hmmmm
So, what ended up being the deal with the land?
@Pantheist It was an old Indian burial ground and now my daughter is inside my TV.
@ELUNO Make sure you don’t watch any staticky vhs tapes
No spoilers! I bought this for my husband for Christmas and so far I’ve managed to snag both letters from the mailbox before he got home. I’m hoping to keep the rest a secret from him AND me also.

@looseneck May I suggest you stay off the thread? If you have the willpower to not open the envelopes it should be a piece of cake. (I couldn’t do either.)
@sammydog01 I will take your advice at it is the smartest thing to do!
got my day 3. i didn’t get a $1000 check or a $15 refund.
@carl669 not do I. The people that did must really need it. And why the fuck did they spend $15 on this!
@sohmageek because sometimes when you’re poor, you need a little pick me up, so you use your saved money for a random gift.
Or, someone bought it for them.
@sohmageek Or they lied about their income. Who expected an honest answer to really matter?
@RiotDemon someone bought it for them I can understand. Knowing how much I make and being told I was in the top x% Made me worry about the bottom % knowing my debt level too…
I want them to make a whole game that uses the Day 2 type cards. (And no, Apples To Apples isn’t that.)
@dave I liked the day 3 cards better
@Cerridwyn bought the Cah for a friend…wish I could remember how I answered this question…he was recently laid off after 35 years with our company!

@Cerridwyn I like Irene from Colorado

but you liked it
So Yugster has this CAH game for $19.19 here:
https://www.yugster.com/daily-deal/77886-cards-against-humanity-the-party-game-for-horrible-people
Is this a good deal? Has anybody played the game?
@therealjrn It’s “only” 5 bucks off, but it rarely is discounted.
You can try the online version to see if you would like it. (It is obviously better with lots of friends)
https://pyx-3.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp
@therealjrn Check Woot tomorrow- I think they charge about fifteen bucks for it at Woot-offs.
@sammydog01 @ELUNO Thanks! I’m “spectating” over on ELUNO’S link. It seems kinda funny, my kind of humor maybe.
@ELUNO @sammydog01 OK then, not a game to play with the grands…
@therealjrn no no no no no
@therealjrn You want to buy this game.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn lol, definitely not. Apples to Apples is the equivalent family friendly version of this.
@ELUNO @sammydog01 @arielleslie I’ll look up Apples to Apples for the kiddos, maybe get the CAH for “adult nites” here. But usually that means a bowl of popcorn and watching Murder She Wrote with my cat…
@arielleslie @ELUNO @sammydog01 @therealjrn make sure the adults you play with also have a sense of humor. When I got to debut this at Christmas eve, there was a whole group of people that showed up during the game, and promptly left. I guess they didn’t like it.
Not my friends, btw.
@RiotDemon I consider CAH an excellent test of whether someone is going to fit in with my group of psychos.
@RiotDemon Clearly.
@arielleslie @RiotDemon So it’s kind of a Turing test, but for humans…hm…
@RiotDemon we played with extended family at Christmastime. I was worried at first but my aunt came up with the raunchiest answers consistently. A good time was had by all, but I can’t imagine having played it with my parents like my cousins did.
@djslack I played with my father and his new wife recently. Nothing like having to look your father in the eye after teaching him what a fleshlight is.
@arielleslie I just looked it up- thanks for the education.
@arielleslie @djslack lol.
My mom and brother were both there. There was a few things that had to be explained to the older generations, but there was some things that I just said, nevermind, you don’t want to know.
For the life of me, I can’t remember what crossed the line.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn
Really depends on the grands.
One of my late coworkers used to play with her children and older grandchildren.
@therealjrn
You will really end up investing in expansion packs because well, they are so funneh some of them.
There is even and unofficial expansion version called Crabs Against Humidity.
@Cerridwyn @sammydog01 Yeah, I have just the 14 year old girl who would probably be blushing. The other 3 go from 9 yrs old on down. My daughter and son-in-law might like it, but who is going to cover the little one’s ears? Plus if @sammydog01 (as worldly as she is) didn’t know what a fleshlight was, I don’t want to have to explain it to my daughter.
@arielleslie @djslack @RiotDemon We should all have an online CAH party one of these nights!
@ELUNO I’m in, as long as it’s free.
@RiotDemon Yeah, it’s using that link I posted. CAH is “Open Source” so they let people use the game as long as they don’t try to sell it. They even have the whole deck on PDF so you can print it yourself.

@arielleslie @djslack @ELUNO @RiotDemon I would do that.
@ELUNO isn’t it funnier if we did a voice chat though?
@ELUNO @RiotDemon
I’m reading through the cards right now. One of the answers is “assless chaps” Somewhere recently somebody pointed out that all chaps are assless, otherwise they would be pants.
@RiotDemon Does everyone still have Discord? We can do voice chat there.
@djslack @RiotDemon I also had to explain “pixelated bukaki”.
@arielleslie @djslack @RiotDemon bukaki!
(I almost asked giphy for it)
@therealjrn yes. I don’t know why people insist on calling them that. There are no such things as chaps with asses… hmm.
@arielleslie omg, that’s what it was, bukakke!
@ELUNO technically, I think I have it, but don’t use it.
@RiotDemon Time to dust it off then! Unless you know of something different that the others can use as well if they don’t have Discord.
@ELUNO I’ve never been on Discord, but I think I can hook a headset up to my computer.
@therealjrn Sounds good. We just need to figure out who else wants to play and find out what most everyone uses.
@ELUNO @therealjrn Count me in! Maybe!
@sammydog01 @therealjrn ok, we just need a few proposals of available days/times you guys are available!
@ELUNO but I’m shyyyyyyy.
@RiotDemon lol, you were the one that suggested voice chat! Plus no one is shyer than me…
@ELUNO we’ll see!
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 @therealjrn @arielleslie @anyoneelse
When are we doing this?!?
@arielleslie @ELUNO @RiotDemon and @sammydog01
I’ve got things on Thursday nights, other than that, I’m flexible.
@arielleslie @ELUNO @sammydog01 @therealjrn I’m free tomorrow, for now.
@arielleslie @ELUNO @sammydog01 @therealjrn maybe we should make a new thread to invite others?
@arielleslie @RiotDemon @sammydog01 @therealjrn Are you volunteering?!?!
@therealjrn It’s up!
@sammydog01 Darn it. I wasn’t around. Don’t these people know I have an important woot-off to monitor?
