No way does this count! Otherwise Sara counts for me (arguably my mum too)

Fun reading through this. Absolutely bewildering that Mark Deeks used to think audience for Countdown recordings should count. Ridiculous.
Also - Jen - can you expand on your inclusion of Paul Sinha? I think you have to spend time with him after the show for it to count, not just be in the audience for an otherly-famous thing. I'm sure you did, just checking.
I've got a pair of Dans to add to my list:

Almost offended you had to ask. Had a chat with him before one of his shows in London a few years ago (accompanied by my friend Imogen, who played at CO:LON 2017).Matt Morrison wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 11:06 amAlso - Jen - can you expand on your inclusion of Paul Sinha?

If Maus is including people he has brought to Co-events/knew prior to being a part of the community (which I don't rly think should count):
Sara Lawson, Caroline Steadman, Eleni Bohacek, Leah King, Emily Muir, Imogen Birt, James Uffindell

Re: the Countdowners Outside Co:Event Meet-ups game (COCMEAT)
Disagree. Why should certain people count for some people but not others? I’m happy to accept that people who don’t really do countdown but got dragged along to the odd event shouldn’t count as countdowners, which is why I put some people in brackets above. But Joseph Krol (for example) is a Countdowner, and I have met him in real life outside of Countdown stuff, so why shouldn’t he count?

Definitely shouldn't count. This is Countdowners you've met outside Countdown stuff, I think you'd consider family and friends to be family and friends before you categorise them as Countdowners. If that makes sense.

Re: the Countdowners Outside Co:Event Meet-ups game (COCMEAT)
What about, say, people I first knew through countdown but then met entirely coincidentally through other stuff? Like, Jonathan Rawlinson was my supervisor for a bit, and would have been regardless of either of our involvement in countdown. I knew him through countdown first, so by your rules I can count him, but if one of us had gotten into countdown after we’d first met I shouldn’t be able to? Makes no sense to me. The same also applies to a few other people on my list (Dan B and Jessica for instance) and presumably some other peoples’ lists as well
(Idk why I’m so invested in this either tbh)

Re: the Countdowners Outside Co:Event Meet-ups game (COCMEAT)
There is definitely lots of interesting discussion to be had here. I think part of the reason that before/after makes such a big difference is because apterous (the real community rather than Countdown I think it's fair to say) is a real word-of-mouth thing. For nearly every example of someone who can say they knew someone else on apterous before apterous, the reason that person is on apterous is usually because of that someone in question telling them about it and encouraging them to get on there. I think in most of these borderline COCMEAT legality cases, it really boils down to the fact that knowing the person, and that person also being part of the community, are not mutually exclusive.
In your Rawlinson case, I'd happily accept that if you had both "found" Countdown/apterous entirely independently (after already having met) then this would still be ok. It would also help that I suppose the role of supervisor is more official than "friend" - I think the chances of "friends" independently finding apterous/Countdown is very very slim, and they would have to be pretty shit friends for Friend A (the first one on the scene) to not really have ever bothered talking about Countdown to Friend B, and thus indirectly encouraging and contributing B's joining the community. Whereas with vague acquaintances, people you have only met once or twice beforehand, both making independent decisions to get involve could still happen legitimately.
