At Online ARC we like to let out hair down regularly and due to distance and the pandemic we've setup our own Virtual Pub nights. You can choose to drink alcoholic (beer, wine, cocktails, spirits, etc) or non alcoholic drinks (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc) during the event.
You are invited to The Rubber Duck Pub (Virtual) on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month from 8pm until late.
Links will be supplied in Discord #the-rubber-duck-pub channel for Zoom. Pub nights are not usually recorded.
Whilst we try to explain what the pub night is like, it's best to visit and see what Random we get up to.
Havoc's (2E0EMO) attempt at explain what is pub night
- Hosted virtually on Zoom
- Chill out, talk radio, talk about anything
- A random amount of spamming in #the-rubber-duck-pub
- We use Sync Tube as a juke box. Feel free to add music to it. Attendees often find new music to listen to
- Random games including word bingo
- A pretty laid back group
- Bit like a club meet up but less cliquey. We love and welcome everyone
- Before 10pm SFW after well we can not promises it will not be.
- Hosted normally on Saturday 8pm but link can be posted before hand if you want to get technical with OBS.
Rules
Sorry, but we felt we needed a few
- Silly Questions? No such thing. Come and ask. We do however reserve right to give a silly answer.
- Use of Radio during Pub meets is encouraged, but if using Voice please remember to mute your mic.
- Use of OBS Studio/Streamlabs OBS, etc is allowed
- Please don't repost Zoom links publicly outside the Online ARC Discord Server.
- You may however send privately to people you know.
- Try not to speak over other people in the chat
- Be aware there are sometimes slight delays on Zoom which may cause this.
- Make sure to let everyone have a say, and not to dominate the conversation.
- Please try keep anything that might be inappropriate for after 10pm.
- Don't be a Dick, be a Duck
Please note, Non of the team behind the pub will accept any abuse towards each other. This is a space that office style banter is accepted but bullying is not. Paul M0TZO and Havoc (Mitchell) 2E0EMO do reserve the right to kick anyone who is not keeping with the sprit of the community. If at any time you feel unhappy please message us on discord via PM or via the Zoom chat feature. We can normally sort out issues but other community reps are unlikely to be able to help during pub night.
