Live Chat Explanation
- The live chat is where the Gathering takes place! To start chatting you must first create a user. Into the “Name” box type your BlogClan name (this is what you will be seen as on the chat), then click on “Profile” at the bottom right hand corner of the chat box. A new window should open, where you can put in the password for your user. Once you’ve done this, press “Log in” and then you should be able to chat freely! (stole this explanation from Josh thanks Josh)
- You MUST have your avatar set as the pre-drawn avatar for your team! We’ll have these ready closer to the day of the gathering 🙂
That’s it for now, folks! Remember to sign up if you haven’t already!
I have good news! My grandma is visiting on the 7th and not the 6th, and it’d be after the gathering either way.
yay!!!
😀
i think i might have a softball game on june 6th or june 5th so i might be a little late! i’ll try to make it in time for my guess the cat!
Okay, I’m really sorry but I’m having a hard time figuring out all of this stuff. Could someone please explain to me what this gathering is about and where to go to figure out how to work all of the stuff on BlogClan? Thanks.
copypasted explanation:
basically, over blogchat each team will compete through games like name that apprentice, warriors trivia, etc to win points for their respective teams (some games are hosted by mods, others are hosted by guests). there will also be a writing and art contest held over these days for more opportunities to win points. a little bit after the gathering has ended the winning team will be announced! you can come to as little or as much of the gathering as you want, there’s no pressure to be there for everything, and we aim for it to be as fun as possible for everyone 😀 I’m really bad at explaining things feel free to ask further questions for clarification 😛
you’ve probably already been told this, but you can ask about anything on the ask blogteam page and we’ll try to answer as best as we can!
Oh gosh oh gosh I’m so so sorry I took a volunteer job at my local theater last night and now I’m helping run auditions Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 and then I have rehearsal until 6:30. Ohh gosh I’m so sorry you’re probably really frustrated with me and I don’t blame you. You can give my game slot to someone else if you want. I’m sorry again.
it’s totally alright, juju! so can you not come at all or are you just pressed for time? either way there’s a backup game that can be run in your place if you can’t be there 🙂
I can come to the Gathering in the morning both days, and I could probably be like half there from 12:30 on, but I don’t think I could be there enough to run my game.
that’s okay! maple can take over your slot 🙂
Thank you and again I’m so sorry
it’s no big deal! <3
I have a question, in the form, do we put all of the things that we want to participate in in the name of contest part? And, what am I supposed to put in the brief explanation. Sorry.
nope, you don’t need to sign up to participate in a game – anyone on the blogchat at the time may join
Hello! So sry! I will not be able to attend my game as it will be 2am for me! D: So sry!!
Hi! I can actually attend!! TY!
Ah! I didn’t realise this- I am SO sorry- could my game also be switched to the Saturday? For me it’s on a school day ahh
okay but if you see coldie anywhere please tell them you switched with them 😛
Alright! I’ll try my best- I’m so sorry again and thank you ^^’
it’s all good!
Um…I think it would be better if these were just held in a post or something and have a due time…because some people have HUGE time differences with the BST and its not really fair on them if its live: they’ll never get to join the fun games. Just a suggestion.
T_T I really wanted to join the NTA but I found out that I would have to wake up at 3 if I wanted to do that…
i’d suggest the games page for that! the point of the gathering is mostly that it’s a live event. we’ll try staggering the games a bit more in the future, though!
Aaah hopefully BlogChat will work 4 me for the first time if the chat is open during the gathering (i can never chat on blogchat bc it’s seldom open nowadays + timezones)
I have some stuff today, so I’ll probably miss a lot of today’s contests, but I might make it tomorrow. 😀
If you don’t mind my asking, what would the time schedule be for Missouri?
I believe Missouri is in CST! so an hour ahead of EST
Okay, thanks!
no its an hour behind est/edt i think
I think I just don’t understand the meaning of the words ahead and behind because I’m in cst 😛
im not sure how to do live chat
how do you create a user
https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/blogchat/
Enter a name into the “Name” field. If it’s taken, it’ll say so. If it’s not taken, it’ll ask you to make up a password to “protect” the username! Go ahead and make one up. Now that’s your user and pass and can be used for future visits. C:
