Chat log:

[09:46] Jenn_OB1: Testing chat, can everyone see this? Hello!

[09:46] 🌪 mg (ob1): :waves:

[09:46] Sam — OB1: +1

[09:49] 🌪 mg (ob1): It’s for the best.

[09:49] joshj: 10 minutes to the call.

[09:52] Sam — OB1: We should have a list of 6 subjects to discuss during pre-meeting and roll a d6 to determine which we discuss.

[09:53] joshj: 6 Needs to be DM Special, or Roll on Table A. #nerdlife

[09:53] Jenn_OB1: 🤣🤣🤣

[09:53] 🌪 mg (ob1): I’m sure we could rig up a random die roll in the chat to facilitate that. (Reminds me of Skype’s glory days.)

[09:54] joshj: We’re pivoting to a decentralized rpg, surprise!

[09:54] joshj: 6 minutes to call.

[09:56] 🌪 mg (ob1): null

[09:56] Sam — OB1: I’ve thought seriously about implementing a game into OB. Depending on the complexity of the game it’s not that hard to use the ricardian contract structure to swap moves back and forth, like a correspondence chess game.

[09:57] Sam — OB1: But I never pitched it because, well, there’s like 1,000 things more important to get working first :)

[09:58] Alexander Elbanna: Great application, its amazing btw
