My Thoughts on Mumble

Okay, my solution:

-IRC Regulars and Mumble Regulars need to be more open and welcoming to newcomers, even if you don't know them. There's no need to be a d*ck, they are your fellow members.
-Newcomers need to be more proactive when it comes to joining groups like Mumble and the IRC.
-All Mafia talk needs to be restricted to a separate channel in the IRC and a separate channel in Mumble.
-Try to be more involved in community events and Game Nights. If everyone is in the IRC, it's a good idea to head over to the IRC where everyone else is (as it says to do so in the Game Night Thread). There has never been a problem with confusion or too many people talking at once.​

I agree that there is a little "clique" of members going on now. And if you don't think there is, it's probably because you're in that "clique". It's kinda dumb. This is an Animal Crossing forum. Y'all take it so seriously, just be friends everyone.

To be honest, Rosie, I don't buy anything you're saying based on my brief experience with you and Olive on Mumble the other night. We were all in there playing IRC Mafia, there were some snide comments made by both of you about how many people were in there and then you butted into conversation just to ask each other to go on Skype and disappeared.

Exactly what I mean by not very welcoming.



You must have some serious problems, Sock. It's a shame, I used to like you.

Actually no, Jas0n. I went on mumble whilst IRC mafia was taking place for .5 seconds and left immediately after the thing wrecked my ears. It was THEN that I asked Rosie on IRC if she wanted to Skype, as we had made plans previously to have a chat, and sometimes one is online while the other is not, so yes if i see her in irc i will ask her there.. I have never once turned down anyone in the IRC when it came to answering questions of trying to befriend them. In fact, I have made several new friends via IRC and ALSO I usually try to have mumble up in case anyone goes in and when I leave i switch to AFK.

I don't go about my internet gallivants trying to be snide and I am hurt that you would think so. If you really feel that Rosie and I are problems, perhaps you should go into the IRC more often and see the way we interact with EVERYONE. I don't believe in the holier than thou stuff when it comes to who has been in IRC longer.

My Mumble usage and Skype usage are pretty much on par. I often times use mumble mobile when I am not at the computer as well.

I would also like to state that I am ALWAYS in the IRC when it is mario kart night. Even on days not designated to it, I will ask if others want to race with me.

you guys are making IRC sound like a bloodbath and im scared (even though ive only had positive experiences so far but its been two times)

For the most part, it's not bad. It's just the clique mentality that exists everywhere on the Internet.

yeah, i figured, i guess its just scary to hear isolated cases all in one space xD makes it seem worse than it really is i guess?? happens with anything, though.
 
uh just sayin idk if this will help the discussion of cliques or somethin..g but,,,

there was a lot of discussion about a shooting {i think in CA? i dont remember it was late} in the main chat, and I, scared easily kind a ...just left,,,,,idk i guess some members would be forced to leave or ignore the chat? because they might be triggered or..maybe they are scared easily like me but..yeah...

I think you did the proper thing and left.

The thing about the IRC is that it's a general chatroom. We don't focus on one particular thing in there. And if a subject makes you uncomfortable then it's smartest to just leave and come back later when it's no longer being discussed.
 
Why does everyone seem to think that this place is supposed to cater to everyones needs? This isn't a day care service.
 
to be fair a surprising amount of the forum is pretty young. Is that offensive? It's not meant to be I'm just saying...

There's a difference between this and the outright disrespect I've experienced.

There's also a difference between disrespect and taking what happens on the internet too personally.

Obviously there will always be those people that are disrespectful etc. but there are plenty of other users who aren't. There's no possible way to fix the problems that everyone is presenting, other than maybe a few small things pointed out by River. If this forum is really worth complaining about, then it's obviously not for you (not targeted toward you but to everyone).

(btw Fire Emblem ftw)

It's not offensive. This reason exactly is why I think, while yes it is a general chat and thus, doesn't always have to be Animal Crossing, the chat should still be something that anyone could walk into and not feel horrified/disgusted/uncomfortable. I mean, there's kids who could be popping in with their parent who sees some stuff chatted about there and then is immediately no longer allowed on the forum.
 
I found out what it was about after it happened, but at the time, I found it QUITE insulting.

How else would anyone who doesn't know what that game is take that? I didn't participate in the chat for a few hours once I took care of why I came on that day.

That's why I said y'all need to keep that in a separate channel.

Wow not having any idea what Mafia is that would have been insulting and really strange. I think any Mafia talk can belong in a separate channel, I'm sure we could all agree on that and it isn't really a hard task.

It does seem that this would alleviate a lot of the issues that are being brought up. It would appear that most of the complaints aren't about the forum itself, but about the IRC/Mumble shenanigans.
 
I agree with the mafia talk. It's currently banned for the game going on now and it's been very nice not having to see it when I go in. In the future if people decide to talk about it they should take it to another channel.

I agree, which is why some of us tried moving it to #belltreemafia since Justin never has the bot up. But there's those set in their ways and think it's doomed to fail.
 
ok yes tbt counselor 2.0 is back i am ready to help u all make the right life choices.

(idc what u said i am just saying hi)
yes hello pally how r u i have missed u

I asked if anyone wanted to go into Mumble last night, but no one answered, so I stayed in IRC only. The thing about Mumble and Mario Kart though, is that it's hard to push to talk while playing.
its not actually that hard you just gotta push a button i can do it easy

I've torn this community apart >:] My work here is done
good job u have done me proud

Mafia is banned? yayyyyyy

You must have some serious problems, Sock. It's a shame, I used to like you.
Aw, I used to like you too.
guys dw i still like both of u

When it comes to IRC, when ever someone comes in, and no one replies or people like Kuma and those other people that actually play AC, I always try to help, directing them to a part of the site that they need.
this is true i can confirm

Tbh I really dislike it when people scare off the members who ask about AC, it's not very nice.
horus once told me it was yugiho chat and i cried
