NotEpic2020, Let's Have Some Fun With Icrontic!
It sucks that Expo got canceled but we all know it was for good reason and we're doing our part to keep ourselves, our friends and families safe. So in place of Epic20, I present NotEpic2020!
All next week, June 22nd - 27th, along with our normal weekly events we've got events planned to have some get-togethers, play some more games, and keep the spirit of Expo Icrontic alive. If you have any events you would like to see happen or host, please let me know and we'll make it happen!
Please Fill Out The Participation Survey Here: https://forms.gle/5V5tamzSedb4Z6YY7
--I'll be streaming my POV of most events on Twitch. Links to any streams will be posted here.-- It's too much. I was not able to get this set up.
The #porch voice channel has been created on Discord. Not participating in an even but want to hang out and BS about hardware and rock music? Take a sit on the porch and chill. Throw up a camera view of your view if you can.
Keep an eye on the official Icrontic Calendar for easy tracking of all the events.

Wednesday at 8:15 pm leading up to and after L4D2 will be System Testing. Launch games to make sure the installs are ready to go.
Going to put the custom maps into rotation on the TF2 server so players can make sure they will load. Link to hosted maps will be posted ASAP.
We will be assisting on getting Four Kings Casino ready to roll for those who have not played before.
We'll start a Rocket League tourney to make sure that goes smooth.
Take some time to get setup, you don't want to miss a moment of the fun at Game Time!
I'm trying to pack a lot into each night here so I'll be starting events at the given times. Some events require that you be there at the start to participate so please plan accordingly.
Love you all!

Bless this man
@BobbyDigi for president
This is awesome. Only thing missing from this lineup is how we virtually recreate my favorite Expo activity - sitting on the front porch drinking a beer and shooting the shit with @Sonorous @Thrax and Aaron.
(RIP Icrontic for edit 6/18/2020 9:45PM NEVAR FORGET)
Bobby really broke the site over an edit lmao
@UPSLynx
This is just asking for a drinks on the veranda joke, but I'll hold back. That would be...
...Too cold
@UPSLynx I have created the "porch" channel. I trust everyone who's been to EPIC will know how and when to use it.
This rules. Before I posted this I said the same thing to Jackie and she said "Well we can set up a live camera on the balcony and you can have drinks out there and video call with people."
LET IT HAPPEN.
Also I'm sad we're not gonna get part 2 to the great Blips Blops scourge of 2019.
Added:
Tuesday
10:00 pm - Minecraft Dungeons - Zero to Hero runs
Saturday
10:00 pm - Prize Drawings
SCONES!
Just as an FYI, especially for the West Coast peeps. Mount up Monday is scheduled from 10PM-Midnight EST, but Charshie, Rexxar and I ended up playing for 3+ hours past that. Not guaranteeing that we'll do that every week, but feel free to pop in and see if we're still at it even after the scheduled ending time, and there's a good chance that we might still be mounting up. The highlight of last week was when we stole a train and were trying to lasso random NPCs and drag them along as we sped across the landscape.
Omg @BobbyDigi you are the most amazing! I am so excited.
We are also still taking our Expo planned vacation so if anyone wants to do daytime gaming, I'll be around!
I also see no reason why we can not blip blops from afar :sunglasses:
We may need some Zoom backgrounds of the porch and various rooms in ICHQ for the authentic EPIC drinking experience.
I'm gonna call this NIPIC.
Perhaps we do something special?
Only it won't be on the schedule
Not that you shouldn't turn up there
You just have to figure out when & where
Shifted around Friday a bit to put Grand Prix in its normal spot. Werewolf will now start Monday night and will run throughout the event.

Great work @BobbyDigi for taking on the initiative, running events, and loving this community. 💙💚💜💛❤️
Winner of the "Nuke Mars" t-shirt is also getting some autonomous spaceport drone ship luggage tags.
Post-corona this sounds like a pretty sweet business plan
For this battlestation... (thoughtful pause)
Yes, you need the weeb-boardino 3000. Now who is your favorite waifu? We'll need to get the silkscreening started
@GnomeQueen Red or white?
