The Night of February 17th

February 17th 2018
After being created earlier that week, members of the new Wikicast Discord server got together to listen to the new episode of the Wikicast together on discord. User dansforehead began streaming it live on twitch.tv at 12pm GMT. This was the fist time the voice channel had been used on the discord so things starting off slowly.

Rapidly, things took a turn, with multiple users (including judithdawson and TheMoustacheMan) sparking the #wikicastmemes hashtag on twitter by churning out Wikicast related memes at high frequency and sending them to the dear hosts.

A tweet from TheMoustacheMan explains how 2 days previously he had never made a meme before, the day before he had made 3, and the day of the 17th he had made 28, later increasing that number to a grand total of 33.

Memes often included a baguette of some kind, rapidly becoming a symbol of the Wikicast Discord.

Many memes were noticed by the hosts, and thanks to an inside man (Sir. Ed Dunne - a friend of Simon and Dans) an image was circulated around the chapel choir group chat. The image depicted the chapel choir with everyone's face (except Ed's) replaced by Dan's head, the image was later improved by increasing the size of the forehead to reflect an ongoing joke, and then replacing everyone with baguettes.

The Stream
At roughly 11pm that night, after users had already been active for 11 hours, user dansforehead chose to start streaming the happenings in the group chat on her twitch channel, no one really knew why, because all of her usual viewers were the ones starring in the call.

The Reading
After being complimented on her 'audiobook voice' by Simon in the weeks episode of The Wikicast, dansforehead was requested to read the token fan-fiction 'The Time Traveller with the Extraordinarily Big Forehead' live on stream, it was described as magical. She has said she will read a chapter on every livestream to catch up.

The Rules
The discord used to have a set of rules explaining no spamming, stick to the correct channels, and no inappropriate images. The inside man decided to forego there rules by, after getting quite drunk, sending an image of chapel choir member Hugo photoshopped into a gay orgy (it is worth noting no genitals are visible, but heavily implied). It was from that point on, the users in the discord realised there was no hope for the rules.
