Opening Our Discord Server For Everyone
April 10, 2020 by warzan
Hi Otters
As many of you will know we run a discord server for our Cult of Games Members (also lovingly known as backstagers!) its one of the perks for those folk who help us keep the lights on, the bills paid and bread on the table.
There is no doubt that as a team things are likely to get tough in the coming weeks but the most important thing is sticking together as a community and keeping each other supported and entertained.
Isolation is no fun and can have a big impact on the mental health of most folks. So from today, we are opening our discord server up to be free to access for all of our community members.
As much as we rely on our Cult of Games members to keep this project alive (more now than ever before) I'm sure they would agree that in times like this we open our virtual doors and bring everyone into the fold.
You are all our extended family and as such we want you all here with us as we navigate through this.

Here is a guide we created to help you work out how to use it: CoG Discord User Manual
See you there!

Fantastic idea.
Going to have to be on my best behaviour.
Great idea. Hope to see lots of people come onboard.
The right thing to do, welcome one and all. Keeping talking, whilst we might have to isolate we don’t have to be alone.
I was thinking about this last night too. In the event that we do all get locked in our homes it might be nice to set up a viewing guide for “OTT TV”. Just a timetable of who in the community plans on streaming when, even if its just someone turning on their camera while painting and ignoring the chat for a few hours. Throw in the times when pre-planned OTT content is scheduled to go live, and maybe bigger public streams (I hear there’s some kind of Adepti-can’t thing maybe happening online. I saw creature caster discussing it but… Read more »

THE HIVE MIND GROWS lol great news guys
I know the likes of XLBS is for members only and presumably a source of your income, but free access to the extra videos (for a limited time) might help to pass the time for those trapped in their homes… and some people may find themselves out of work due to the virus too.
Perhaps extend the trial period of backstage pass.
Just a thought.
Currently we are planning to move past episodes of XLBS across to the main youtube channel for folks. Just looking into what it’s going to take
Good to know. Thanks.
For good, or ill, my job is unlikely to be ‘work from home’… but that doesn’t mean I won’t get the plague.
Good call on this. Also reminded me that I needed to join! 😀
Nice idea…
… I hope your ready to moderate the spammers!
Is there a way of supporting a ‘backstage area’?
As one who is now “locked in place” I appreciate broadening the number of folks to interact with, especially as I live alone and my dogs are with my ex-wife. Time to really focus on hobby.
As others have mentioned we need to be prepared for spammers
interesting.
Gents you are awesome! This is a great idea thank you.
I decided to join as a Cult of Games member so joined up just now. Do I follow the above link for the discord or do I need to do it differently?
yep use the above li k mate and thanks so much for the support!
Awesome. I love you guys and want to show some support right now. Is there a way to just donate a bit more now and again? I might do that as I won’t be in any cafes buying any coffee…. I’ll be watching you lot and maybe do some hobby if the kids let me while they’re at home!
Keep up the good work! now then which house shall I join…
@warzan the new Robbie Coltrane in the Cog’s tutti frutti show? Lol good luck guys.
Hey Gents,
Is there an issue with the Discord server? I can’t seem to pick a team or see any of the other channels; which I assume is because I can’t pick a team. =)
Thanks
Brilliant idea! And you’re right, the coronavirus period is very difficult, and our mental health suffers day by day. Increases in the level of anxiety make the main effect on mental health caused by quarantine, and many people right now read such reviews https://drmental.org/relationship-hero-review to determine the good specialist that can help them with these problems.
Wow this is cool. Well big shoot out for the FOW giveaway. Thanks for being so cool to give us a chance to try something new. Would love to play it with me and wife. Playing a home made crossfire version with her. She loves it lol.
Happy halloween
Uh nice, fantastick price 🍀
