I think it's a fair assessment to say that last night's live event, the first of it's kind for the BHO, did not go as smoothly as I had anticipated. This is more or less my fault for not having a firm grasp on how the website we used actually worked. My assumption was that once I had created a "room" where people can join, others could join at any time and just wait for the next game. This is, however, untrue. For more people to join you all have to leave the current room and create a new room, which is a total faff and completely impractical if I hope to entice more than just the current members of the BHO to come and play.
This leaves me with two options. The first is that I request people register their interest beforehand, after which I can assign them a room and then the rooms stay as they are for the entirety of the event. Secondly, I could do some more research and see if their is a different site that will better suit our needs. I think I will do the second option, but fall back on the first if I don't find anything suitable.
Hey ho, it's a learning curve, and we did manage to get a few games in, just not with any newcomers as I had hoped, as they couldn't have joined even if they wanted to!
But I am undeterred. We will be back next week, ready to try it all over again. Thank you to those that did join us and I hope to see you again. Please be sure to keep your eyes peeled for information regarding our next event!
Until then you lovely people xxx
