.cons first online flashmob

On Sunday the 7th of March .con had its first public event:

the first .con online flashmob

First of all, to all of you who took part in this event, THANK YOU, we hope you had lots of fun!!

For everyone who missed it, here is a brief summary of what happened:
.con made a simple but effective flashmob on the video-chat website chatroulette.com (chatroulette is a video-chat website, where you meet random people from all over the world for a 1:1 video-chat).

The goal of the flashmob was to get as many people as possible from all over the world to play rock-paper-scissors.

As a tool, .con provided two signs as downloads on their website www.dotcon.at :
one saying "play with me" and showing drawings of the hand gestures of rock-paper-scissors, the other one saying "play with the next person you meet".

The task for participants was easy:
- hold the first sign visibly in front of you to ask your chat partner to play with you
- play up to 3 rounds of rock-paper-scissors with your chat partner
- now hold the second sign into your webcam to ask your chat partner to play this game with his next chat partner.
