PeterRobbins Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 https://discord.gg/t7pekGk in case anyone wants to join a fully public Harpoon 5 Multiplayer discord server. I can help you get to know Simplot2 and how to use it for double-blind games using the Discord channel. We have successfully used this method for both play by post (similar to PBEM style, submit orders, then update Simplot2 then show images then submit next turn orders) and real-time games. Discord offers both voice and video comms too for the realtime games or occasional "team" chats for Red or Blue teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Excellent! We still get out the really old technology and meet on IRC now and again, channel #harpgamer. https://web.libera.chat/ It helps to post on the forum here and say "I'll be on Sunday at 8pm Central US time".

CV32 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Haven't been on IRC in many moons. Great memories of the chat, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRobbins Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Discord is similar to IRC, but has voice and video support as well as image pasting and url emedded linking as well. So, basically a modernized IRC. Its worked well for double blind Harpoon5 match as we have been able to also set permissions on both Red and Blue team rooms. We've even isolated sub commanders in their own rooms until they come up to breath and chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
