I went on there a couple of times recently and I had a blast talking to Marii and Sonicdude. If you're contemplating shutting it down, I would suggest you do so. There's hardly anyone on there to begin with and most of the people that are on more than likely are on Skype as well.
My Thoughts on Mumble
- Thread starter Jas0n
- Start date
I'm actually scared of joining Mumble, because I'm kind of afraid I'll just pretty much be ignored. Hearing all these bad things about it makes me want to pretty much let it go. I'm with the others here, do whatever you feel is right, Jason.
The same pretty much happened to me as well. Hell, most of the worst stuff was posted on that God-awful Tumblr page.
I know your feel.
There's not a direct link unless you're implying KarlaKGB is the devil of TBT.
It definitely hurts some people's feelings--between being judged how they acted in a game, things carried over, things not even related to said game being brought in and then being attacked even outside the game and game chats... It's really obnoxious and not only does it mean some people who may want to have fun with it don't get a break, people who don't care for it get forced to see it too.
And a lot of people say "well, that's just part of the game"--there's still a way to play a game like that without being a complete jerk. I feel some people let themselves get way too rude in that game.

And how would you propose you fix this problem then? I'm trying not to be rude here, but this thread is everybody saying "well THIS is something wrong with the community and THAT is another thing wrong with the community" but I really don't see any solutions being offered.
To be honest you guys are blowing the mumble way out of proportion. Sure there are some sour people who may ruin it from time to time, but I'd say more often then not everyone is kind and it's a pleasurable experience.

I thought this discussion had evolved more past just the Mumble and this also was about the IRC, which does exhibit the main negative behaviors from the Mumble.

it's a beautiful bikini bottom day!
:c oh, i had no idea it was that bad. well, i myself wouldnt have a clue on how to fix it since i dont even participate in mafia in the first place. im not sure if thats where the main problem lies or what, but im sure people with more experience might have more input. idk, stricter rules about being "nice"? if thats a thing? im just taking shots in the dark here, ahah
I think the discussion was always on the community, not on the Mumble itself. While the majority of the community isn't necessarily under the gun, its the folks who frequent the IRC and participate in the problem cliques that are really going to be under the gun.
The mafia games are only a problem if you really let it get out of hand (oath2order v Superpenguin) or let certain users continue baiting/attacking users outside the game for no reason. Perhaps to alleviate the amount of mafia discussion in the main IRC channel, we can move it over to the #BellTreeMafia channel where the IRC games are held since Jubs hasn't put the bot up in a while.
Its not only that, but maybe we can have a TBTMafia channel where mafia can be discussed heavily, where its out of sight and mind for those who do not play it and lets promote the feelings for peoples playstyle not cross over to who they are as a person, and don't say nobody does that because I'll be the example. (I was pretty good friends with Karla until I screwed up in mafia.)
More so to the point, this isn't what it use to be and change is good for a community but not this kind of change. I had a nice little chat with Jason this afternoon but how things went downhill and how things are different.

I think the rules are fine, it's more about getting the staff to crack down a little harder on the offenders. After all, just reading the rules lands you with this:

We already have #belltreemafia
We might as well use that instead of needing to create another.
We already have #belltreemafia
I've never seen a sub chat work at any forum that doesn't have a bajillion members.
Well we've got plenty of active mafia members that it'd work the same.
A large chunk of IRC regulars are mafia players lol
Yeah, I know a large amount of IRC regulars are mafia players as well, but thats not the point. The point is, that most the time mafia chat takes over the whole channel, and excludes any new members who join the chat to chat about other things, and the people in the IRC who have no interest in playing/or listening about mafia.
It really is annoying.. I know I complain about it a lot and I'm damn sure I can do a better job at it, but I'm just saying what everyone is thinking.
