Title: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: sean on 14 Sep 2008, 20:38
So I just found this. (http://apples.ferretman.com/index.php) It is a website where we can play apples to apples online. This basically means we can now have awesome internet apples to apples games.

Anyone else interested?

Edit: if anyone is not familiar with apples to apples, it is the most fun board/card game ever. Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apples_to_Apples) is the wikipedia article, which explains it.

I support this idea! How would ensure we all are in the same game though?

Whooo this is fun. We need to get a bigger game together and really play at some point.

Yeah Sean, Liz and I just tested it out and it works pretty well when complemented with Skype.

People! Express interest!

I am very interested in this.

edit: just joined the game going right now, do we really need a 10 player game?  Make it 6 and we can start.

That was a test. Unfortunately, there seems to be no options for changing game details once it is created. And you can't start a game without the number of people it is created for. People can leave mid-game (until there are only two people at which point the game ends) but you must begin with however many people you specify.

Also bigger games are better.

That is scientific fact!

Post by: Jackie Blue on 14 Sep 2008, 21:30
Well right now nothing seems to be working.  I tried to start a new game and it doesn't do anything.  wtf

I just wanted to chime in with: MOST AMAZING THING EVER!
Apples to Apples is like my favorite game in the world.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Jackie Blue on 14 Sep 2008, 21:44
In order for it to be the most amazing thing ever, it would help if anyone was actually playing besides you and I.

I really want to try this out  :x
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: imagist42 on 14 Sep 2008, 21:46
Patience, we'll try it out some other night. Everyone else is gone to bed!
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: ThePQ4 on 14 Sep 2008, 22:02
I concur. We'll get a fantabulous game going in the A.M. when everyone is awake and conscious. I need to get me some sleep too. Ack. 9 AM classes suck.

okay, i don't get how this works. i got an email saying that the game has startedm but i can't figure out how to get to it. i think i am too dumb for this...
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Spluff on 15 Sep 2008, 00:10
Go to the website, log in, and there should be a menu bar at the top. Click on the one that says playing page (I think!).

Also, ablgfdg, my nouns suck.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: supersheep on 15 Sep 2008, 00:11
Yeah I accidentally joined the game that everyone else is in with ten people cos I wanted to give it a go and then it turned out that it was all of us folk. So I guess I am playing!
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: yelley on 15 Sep 2008, 00:18
i am there. it says i am it. nothing is happening.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Spluff on 15 Sep 2008, 00:19
That is because you are the green card holder in both games, I think.

Jesus, how do you know what room you guys are in?
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Ladybug on 15 Sep 2008, 01:23
Hm, am I supposed to get an e-mail or something? I'm assuming so, because it doesn't work to log in after simply signing up, but how long did it take before you guys got the e-mail?
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: ThePQ4 on 15 Sep 2008, 08:25
Hmmm... I dunno. It just told me to log in and join a game.
I played my noun by the way...Just waiting on Zerodrone and Imagist42 (whoever that is? I don't know, I'm so confused...).

Anyway, to play, you just click on "Go to Game", if you're not already there, click "playing page" and it will show you the adjective, and your cards. Then you click one, it will ask if you really want to play that card (so you click OK!), and then you have played your hand...

And then you wait...and wait...and wait, for everyone else to play.

I think this is a beta bug. I think the system should automatically log you out if you're not actually ON the page, because then you're stuck in a game, waiting for ever... or you know, people could log out (I didn't know had to physically log out...hence why y'all were waiting on me, and I apologize profusely...)

Post by: rathercheeky on 15 Sep 2008, 09:50
Apples to apples is probably the best game ever.

I'd join if I didn't have to leave for class.

Imagist42 (whoever that is? I don't know, I'm so confused...).

hi hello there

I think this is a beta bug. I think the system should automatically log you out if you're not actually ON the page, because then you're stuck in a game, waiting for ever... or you know, people could log out (I didn't know had to physically log out...hence why y'all were waiting on me, and I apologize profusely...)

It's not a bug. It has to do with the settings for our particular game. We didn't set a time limit for turns, which means we have to wait for everyone to play. If you set a time limit for turns (minimum 0.25 hours, or 15 minutes), then after that time limit is up, everyone who hasn't played will have their noun randomly selected from their hand. So play continues.

Post by: ThePQ4 on 15 Sep 2008, 10:16
I didn't mean like an "actual" bug. I meant that it is something that hasn't been impliemented yet, since it's still a "new" game, and is being updated.
If you go to the Suggestion Box section, I think it's one of the suggestions...But I don't remember. It was awhile ago.

We should all go make new Nouns and Adjectives while we are waiting... It's fun ;)

Man, I do not trust myself to be as funny as the creators of the game.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: ThePQ4 on 15 Sep 2008, 12:22
If anyone is interested, I started another game.
'Cause seriously...I wanna play, man.

Post by: ThePQ4 on 15 Sep 2008, 15:12
It's already, started. sorry :(
You can make your own. I found it frustrating that they were all pw'd too.
Speaking of which: MICKEY, PICK A CARD!
Jeeeeez.

The waiting is the only problem with this game.

Edit: Sorry...you did it while I was ranting.

I signed up, made a password, and then it didn't work when I tried it.  Is it really possible that I mistyped it the exact same way twice?
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Ladybug on 16 Sep 2008, 03:35
I have the exact same problem, and I'm pretty damn sure I didn't mistype it.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: ThePQ4 on 16 Sep 2008, 06:34
...That is insanely weird.
I think games with more limitations are going to prove to be more fun...'cause seriously, all the games I'm in right now are at like a stand-still. I need to get some friends on so we can play a proper game (or just, you know, bring my A2A game from home and play with a real deck...)

Edit (11:16, central time zone): I just started a game, if anyone is online and interested in playing.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: Alex C on 16 Sep 2008, 10:14
Those of you with password problems: did you try to type in a password that goes beyond 8 characters at registration? The registration lets you press as many keys as you want with little warning, but doesn't actually accept anything beyond the 8th character. The login, on the other hand, will accept quite a bit more than that, so you may just need to shave off a few letters and try again.

joined... any chance this game will have a few more limitations?
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: ThePQ4 on 16 Sep 2008, 10:23
I tried to make the turn limit 15, but I guess that 60 is the minumum? It's only a 5 pt. game, sooo...if everyone plays, it should actually go pretty fast.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: mickey on 16 Sep 2008, 10:27
fair enough

Post by: ThePQ4 on 16 Sep 2008, 10:29
...I wish there was some kind of a like a Poke feature...like a private message that would pop up onto a person's screen when everyone is waiting for them. But that would be very technical, so I doubt that would happen.
Title: Re: Lets all play apples to apples over the internet!
Post by: mickey on 16 Sep 2008, 18:35
so yeah... umm everyone in 383... game's started

Guys we need to organize a time to have a big, fast-paced game. Instead of this disorganized one-turn-every-couple-days thing that has been going on. Is anyon else being a loser on Friday night like I am?
