Thank you all for the great game and turnout last night! Everything went surprisingly smoothly.
I learned one important tech thing: You can't do both Zoom and RealBridge at the same time on the same computer. One steals the camera, and the other can't use it! :)
The results in their full detail are available at the same link as your link to play the game, which is: https://play.realbridge.online/cs.html?p=210323129363&q=PlaynHpmcM0brqwB
So this is what I'm offering for the next four Tuesday evenings.
If you'd like to play, drop me a note. I'll invoice you for the games, and you can pay me however you like.
Per player, including Zoom hand review after-party:
$9 per game
$30 for all four
Last minute sign-ups are welcome, if you're not sure just now.
(I'm being blocked by AT&T, so I'll resend this from my gmail account for those who are blocked.)
Best regards,
Mojo

For tonight, we have a huge turnout! With this being a brand new
platform, I anticipate most of our problems will be in figuring out
where everything is. Take a moment to use the *Settings gear wheel*
after you get seated. I especially recommend the "Simplified cards"
setting. :)
*The session will open at 6:45.* Game time at 7:15 or when everyone
arrives, whichever comes first!

Meanwhile here's lots of information about RealBridge! *Later today I
will send you a link* that will open a login screen. Use your full name,
and leave the ID number blank:
Once you join, you'll see an array of tables. I'll be sending a seating
chart for the first round soon. Seat yourself at your assigned seat:
There's a settings wheel:
I recommend using the settings wheel and selecting Simplified Cards,
unless you really like the fancy ones!:
Here are important A/V controls. Use these to hide your video or mute
your microphone:
Using these controls you can hide the other players' video. On the right
is the important *redial button* that will reset your A/V connection.
This often solves missing audio or video problems at the table:

Hey, I have about 20 people who've expressed an interest in our social
duplicate games on Tuesday evening!
I'm about to invite more, and I wanted you all to know how this is going
to work.
We're using a platform that most of you haven't seen yet, called
RealBridge. It's from the UK, and it includes audio and video integrated
with the game table. You'll be able to see and hear your partners and
opponents.
Because we're going to be learning about how it all works, *this
Tuesday's game is free*, with no obligations to continue! Let's get
together, try it out, figure where all the knobs and buttons are, and
learn how to work the machine. We might get to play some bridge, too. :)
RealBridge works best on devices with a large screen, such as a desktop
or laptop computer. It also works on an iPad, and I'm advised that
RealBridge works somewhat more reliably with the Chrome browser than it
does with Safari.
*There is no app to install.* On Tuesday afternoon, I will send everyone
a URL link that will connect you with our game in your browser. I
haven't decided if I will send one link to everyone, or have a
personalized link that will log you in to the game, but I'll be working
on that for the next day or two.
To get a feel of how it works, look here: https://realbridge.online/
To test your camera and mic to be sure they work okay, look here:
https://play.realbridge.online/camera.html
I'll have more for you soon!
Best regards,
Mojo
