TBG Forums

We have had a good discussion on Discord about having an IRL TBGer meet up.  It's simple: we all go a to a certain state, we meet up at a certain location and time, and do "fun" stuff together (note that I put fun in quotation marks).  This will not happen at all.  

Why?  You give the problems below and rate the above!

1. Cost - flight + transportation + lodging + other stuff = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

$/10

2. Do we go to America where most of the TBGers are or Australia where the person who, you know, runs the website lives?

11/10. Especially because I live in Hong Kong and I doubt many TBGers live in Hong Kong or many other places

3. Many TBGers are kids and their parents won't let them.

4. Replace "squidward" with various TBGer names. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx4YnFugbXs

5. the kinds of people that waste their time posting on an obscure forum long forgotten by the scratch community are not exactly the kinds of people that know what to do in social situations

6. How many people would even attend an IRL TBGer meetup? We don't have a lot of active users, and even then, most of us wouldn't be able to make it.

Person 1: We can meet at noon EST!
Person 2: For me, that's 4 in the morning. Let's meet at 8pm EST instead.
Person 3: For me, that's 4 in the morning. Lets meet at 4am EST instead.
Person 1: For me, that's 4 in the morning.

8. Who knows who you're meeting.

9. How would the event be set up so that it wouldn't be insanely awkward?

10/10 That could probably be a game of its own.

10. Most of us would probably roll dice the whole time or stick emoji stickers everywhere.

11. This would be the way people are kidnapped.

10/10 would get kidnapped and maybe murdered

12. Most probably wouldn't come even if they didn't have anything stopping it.

5/10

13. This site is for kids. Whose parents would ever send their kids on a flight for some random unpopular message board?

10/10

14. There's absolutely no way nobody will find out our real names.

10/10

15. Who's gonna pay for the event?

16. We could just wait until we're all adults, but then we'll have a bunch of responsibilities and we'll eventually forget about this site.

17. We're ugly fricks.

18. its basically a face reveal video but without the video part

6.5/10
19 we'd just sit around playing tbgs from across the room

If some of us are still young, our parents would kill us for meeting an online person IRL.

Well, the pandemic crosses any and all chances of the meet-up of TBGers.

Corona/10

22. Wait until we become adults, this site will most likely have shut down by then.

Not so sure about that/10

What events would we even plan?

7/10

24. We would in no chance be able to play TBGs without our mouths dry or stuff.

6/10

25. It could be a method of distraction, as some people would be unable to go on the site there, so one specific user can get 99% of all posts on the TBGs faster.
