This is a good point as well!

Still not sure how much I’ll actually interact on the WhatsApp group when it gets set up anyway despite showing my interest :lol:

It's a 3 message per day minimum otherwise you get God-killed by the game runner

Well if the forum games are anything to go buy I’ll start off strong and then get killed by Rudolph then :lol:

This (the WhatsApp group) is now live! Aaron with an opening message that will live in infamy.

This is by no means intended as a closed shop! So if anyone would like to join, let me know. I've got this thread on alert, or you can PM me.

If I do add anyone, you'll not be able to see the old messages from before you were added, so just to share with you one thing I've posted in the WhatsApp chat:

I don't intend for there to be any "rules" for this chat, but I thought I best say just one thing. If anyone chooses to share info here, that they haven't shared on the forum, please try not to share it / refer to it on GR. It might be info about themselves, their family, about a situation they're going through... it might even be their real name! But there might be a reason why they've not shared those details on the forum (which is a publicly visible website after all!) No one's right to choose what they say to which audience should be forfeited by being part of this WhatsApp chat. Hope that's cool with everyone.


And now I shall relax, having successfully coordinated nearly thirty people's contact details :toot: thank you so much everyone. :)

There was a bigger response than I anticipated, that's for sure! This is intended to be different to GR / Discord, so I'm sure the MSN posts will die down once everyone's got them out of their system :slol:

My hat has been thrown in the ring. If I don't make at least 3 (three) friends, I will be extremely angry.

I'd like to echo OR's sentiment. I'll probably pass on the WhatsApp group, but I'd been keen to meet up at some point.

The wales crew could all meet there and have a session at the arcade vaults, then go to the pub.

Arcade Vaults has been in my to do list for a while so I'd definitely be up for this 8-)

Similarly, there's the Arcade Club in Bury and Leeds (and soon to be Blackpool) for our North Westernly folk.

I have been to the one in Leeds! It's smaller than you'd think from the website (very densely packed) but it is awesome.
