Let's start planning for borahour together! We're going to have our first watch party next week, and there are some polls below to help us pick the day of the week (at least for this first watch party) and help us get an idea of what times may be best for each region.
We can schedule different time zones/regional discussion groups so you can participate in live discussion with ARMY in your region. So please answer the polls if you'd like to participate even if you're not in the Americas, and we can get multiple watch party groups coordinated. We'll all watch the same playlist the same week, so we'll all be discussing the same videos. Having this be de-centralized and able to be shared with ARMY globally is important, we're all one ARMY.
You will need to log into leaflet.pub to answer the polls but it's easy and uses your same atmosphere account:
in the login box where they ask for your handle, start typing your handle without the @ symbol, it should autofill the rest as you type more of your handle
it will take you to the login page of your atmosphere account (bsky, blacksky, whichever one you're connecting through), and asks you to confirm and login
Note: you can uncheck the box asking to share your email with leaflet, it doesn't need that info
You are now logged into leaflet to answer the poll questions!
And now... to the polls! If you're in a less than 60 min off time zone please select the nearest one that works best for your schedule.
What day next week works best for our first watch party? This is only to get it started, we can plan ahead if we need to switch the day to help more people participate.
Next week is the 2nd week of Festa, and the concerts start on Friday (for western hemisphere ARMY), so let's pick between Mon, Tues, and Weds evenings.
(note: Critical Role is on Thursdays - and most concerts will be Friday AM for the western hemisphere- and I heard we have a big overlap with fans of those things, maybe Mon-Weds are going to be the best days in general to schedule this? Tell me in the comments your thoughts on this)
ARMY in the Americas, which time zone are you in?
(the -DT is for daylight saving time)
Any ARMY participating from Greenland/Iceland (UTC, UTC-1)?
ARMY in Africa, Europe, Eastern Europe, West Asia, which time zone are you in?
ARMY in Central Asia, SE Asia, and East Asia, which time zone are you in?
ARMY in Australia, Oceania, and the rest of Russia, which time zone are you in?
After we get these first watch parties scheduled, I'll be posting links to a host/PL maker signup spreadsheet so we can keep this rolling. From earlier feedback it seems people most like a PL around an hour long (can be longer if needed to complete the theme, but mostly under 1:30) and watch parties every other week, so that's where we'll start. Please leave comments with ideas and feedback!
