It's saying the invitation is not valid though.

Also, wouldn't it also be a good idea if we have a car meet in a random car game?

Sorry, left an expiry on.

That one won't expire.

I'm OK with a game, if you're shouting us all the cost, or know of a free one.

I believe the kids these days are into Forza Horizon 4 which I would have to purchase aswell

[Zecke]

I don't have an xbox, just a pc and ps4 so forza is ehhhh... NFS Heat? It has crossplay capabilities and I have some sweet rides

[TheCaptain]

Forza Horizon 4 is on pc aswell (most Microsoft Store games are crossplatform these days). I can remember playing some Forza game a few years ago and that it was free, but can't remember what it was called.

Be pretty cool if we can build a few MCM cars in that game and have a meet with those.

You can get NFS heat for 3.99 a month and then cancel at the end of the first month from what I'm able to understand, so that would be a cheap option

[Zecke]

Or we could do nfs payback because that game has mcm stickers in it. Remember 3fiddy?

Right, so what's the format going to be then on discord? I've never been to an online meet before.

Really need to decide this now so I can tell Marv.

What's the craic with randoms joining? Are they automatically muted from the voice chat until unmuted by an admin? Are we keeping this small or is this invite going out on the faceballs etc?

I'm out for the game, I don't have a PC capable lmao.

It's currently setup fairly open.
Slow Mode is ON, however it's only at 5 seconds, so you cant 'paste spam' the room, 5 seconds is a rather short delay.

The voice channel is open, however I have 2 security groups configured; "MightyCarAdmins" and "M&M's" which both have Priority Voice; meaning they dip everyone else, so long as they're using PushToTalk. Anything up to about 50 people tends to be quite manageable in a single chat room. I can make as many voice rooms as you'd like; so we can segment it off to random junk chat vs trivia vs 'officials' or whatever.

I'd say, middle ground? Like a real meet? I'm sure we all have friends who are MCMers who aren't forumers. 'Bring them along'?
If we go all-out facebook, we WILL be swamped.

Smartphone? iPad?
That's the benefit of Discord, I've been in a few Trivia nights with my PC-hardware-hacking group; I usually just have a bluetooth headset on, paired to my phone while I drive

[Zecke]

I put together some trivia questions, should be fun xD

But I think I have to re-shoot my crap car because while reviewing the footage it became clear filming on a tablet is not a good decision.
