I’m all for talking through things and getting a second opinion, but when it comes time to actually crafting things, I need my own space, maybe I’m just weird

Oh man this brings back memories -- managed to convince a bunch of friends in elementary school to get one, it made us way OP on the playground when playing games that had a bit of espionage involved :P

So... basically further encourage a lack of transparency and funnel more resources into black ops at the expense of the altruistic and naïve -- that should be interesting. But meh, simple is simple I suppose :D

Had the pleasure of playing in it last weekend — if you’re interested in joining the virtual face-to-face community and playing some games, hit me up and I’ll send you some info

The world championships are this weekend www.ptks.org/wdc2018/

I’m currently here (it’s the last day), and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with it being my first time playing in a large tournament— but I have to say it was pretty damn fun. The face to face hobby is definitely alive and well. If you enjoy strategy games, and have a bit of a masochistic bent, you’ll get along just fine.

Definitely would recommend you get some experience under your belt beforehand, to get a feel for general strategy and tactics. If you want to join the major discussion channels online to find some good games, hit me up and I’ll invite you.

I for one will heartily join you at that finish line... hopefully a bit farther than we think it may be.

Welp, I'm an ass, just got a very thoughtful e-mail from Jose, pay no attention to my comments...

Yeah these guys are a bit disorganized o.O

Which is rather disappointing considering the potential of the space.

To think that our achievement was singular, is rather disappointing.

Re:Ask HN: WebRTC onion routing between Facebook friend circles on Tuesday September 20, 2016 @06:41PM (#12544001)
Right now the initial library is a private repo of mine on github, but yes, the plan is to make all components open source in the near-future, to encourage active development + security transparency. I'd also like to eventually extend/refactor the node.js signaling server into a federated model.

Ask HN: WebRTC onion routing between Facebook friend circles

I've been working on and off the past year on a private messaging webapp that uses onion routing over WebRTC p2p connections between Facebook Graph API bootstrapped friend circles, and am looking for interested collaborators.I've written a JS library consisting of a WebRTC client and node.js signaling server that keeps track of availability and maintains connections with a whitelisted set of...
