Phillipines is a strange guess. I live in Los Angeles.


Why did I think you were in the Philippines? I think I mistook you for someone else.

Not that Los Angeles is any less crowded or noisy.

so, question, did you all pay for your memberships on Zoom? Because my account says that I can only spend 40 minutes max in a call unless I upgrade?

I've been drowning myself in work, I just started Culinary School, and I recently got called a Boot Licker for thanking a veteran for their service. I'm sad that I have to witness the part of history where supporting Cops and Troops is seen and a radical ideology.

Only the host needs a premium account, and even then, the first call can go longer.

The first time you host they will waive the 40 minute limit. So if we rotate hosts we should get a few months out of this.

Couldn't in theory someone make more than one account so they could actually do this again? I'm new to Zoom so if I'm wrong, don't blame me for it.

in theory, but if they get a report and they check IPs, they could ban our IPs from the site, which would be no good. the best bet is that someone gets premium and some of us help pitch in.

This is true. I myself am pinching pennies right now so I can't get premium.

Let's rotate hosts for a while before we get to that point. at least for the next few sessions just to make sure we actually want to go through with this,

I mean, we can rotate. It might be possible that social distancing will be lifted this summer. If the antibodies in plasma of recovered patients are effective. I still have high hopes..

Yeah, but even when we come out of this pandemic, actually getting to know and become friends with people you may debate topics with daily can definitely build great friendships, and better debates. I think this should be a continued tradition, and considering that this game has been out longer than I've been alive (Or almost as long), its amazing we haven't done this sooner.

Edit* Nation States came out on November 13, 2002, so for most of my entire life.

I'll admit to being impressed with your ability to contain fluids. I'd have difficulty drinking a whole bottle plus seven large glasses of water in a single sitting, even one lasting a few hours.
