Finally, a Good Use for Twitter & Hashtags

FallCon Gaming Society - Wednesday, October 05, 2011

Want to play a game but all your friends are already rolling dice, placing meeples, or trading resources? Maybe you’ve looked through our massive open gaming library and want to crack open last year’s Canadian Game Design Award (CGDA) winner? Whatever the situation, we know you want to find a table of gamers as quickly as possible! This year at FallCon, find those gamers faster by using Twitter to broadcast your gaming desires.

Tweet the name of the game you’re looking to play, the number of players you’re seeking and the time you’d like to start playing, along with the #FallConOG hashtag. Your tweets will automatically be reposted to our @FallConYYC twitter account. This is the best way to keep in touch with FallCon’s activity (open gaming or otherwise) during the whole convention. Here’s the recommended format:

Game Name / # of players seeking / time          #hashtag
Dominion     / seeking 2-3 players  / ASAP        #FallConOG
Die Macher  / seeking 4 players    / 10am Sun   #FallConOG

Not familiar with Twitter or don’t have an account?  Not a problem. We’ll have whiteboards set up around the open gaming area so you can search for gaming partners that way!
  


Sweet, sweet technology.
