Statistically, most people globally are using the internet at around 6-7 CST.

awfully convenient how Mego, Doorknob, and I are all in CST

@NickClifford Must be some kind of conspiracy

we're actually all the same person

:O

we are the central time hivemind

@Mego School starts on the 16th for me. Generally, I'm free most days after 5 PM MST

@Mego Topic proposal: How did you find PPCG? How has your experience with PPCG been? What are your favorite/least favorite experiences with PPCG so far? Etc.

Scratch that, school starts on the 17th

@mego I've got a bunch of questions to think about. 1) What service should we use? Discord seems perfect. Should we make a new server, or try to do it on an existing one? 2) What do should participants record locally on? 3) When can we do a practice run? (for technical testing) 4) Should we go by usernames, pseudonyms, or first names?

Discord might be best under a 4-way group DM instead of the PPCG-gaming server

I guess 4 is something each participant can choose themselves

Oh, and 5) Do we need to worry about participants that are under 18? I remember that came up last time we talked about doing this (cc. @Doorknob)

is that an issue?

I think releasing audio recordings of minors without parental consent is an issue. I'm not positive though

gotcha

@NickClifford How old are you? (If you don't mind me asking)

15

my profile picture is really old though

Hmm. You sound older than that

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It means you come across as mature and well spoken ;)

thanks!

anyway, I can ask my parents if that ends up being important

I'll need to do some research into it (or ask minxomat) but I think it probably will

alright

this is how my friends reacted when I told them I'd be on a podcast

@DJMcMayhem I checked with my dad and he's ok with it. if need be, I might be able to get it in writing or something

@NickClifford Ok. Probably will, but like I said, it's something I don't know anything about, so we'll need to do some research first

sounds good

actually here's an idea

if any of you have ever listened to Hello Internet, they have a document where they put all the topics they want to talk about on a given episode of their podcast

it might be a good idea to make a Google Doc or something for us to use similarly

@DJMcMayhem yeah, minxomat said something about that

@DJMcMayhem does the topic necessarily have to be about PPCG? from what I'd gathered the previous time around discussing it, it was just going to be a podcast that happened to be composed of PPCG members
