We had a group of like 9 people on mumble earlier and were all playing Mario Kart...but I kept getting last place because I was holding on the the push to talk button and saying stuff. So we all switched to Skype, though I sadly realized that it wasn't actually the push to talk that was the problem, but that I just suck at the game period....at least I sucked a little less on Skype, maybe? Point is, I got to see Flops face for the first time and he is just lovely looking. So I enjoyed the Skype call. (Also invited everyone on mumble and IRC)
WHY DO YOU PLAY AT 8AM MY TIME GOD DAMN IT! YOURR SCARED ILL BEAT YOU.
Anyway, think we all need to stop being so sensitive (rich coming from me, the most sensitive and offended person) but I'm talking g about me to. We all need to take a set back, Ash is right, the irc isn't a baby sitting service, if there's a conversation going on get involved, start your own? If you can keep up there can be more than 1 conversation, I do it every day, it doesn't take a genius to read bits directed at you. Gallows is also correct, if you don't like the current topic and don't feel comfortable saying you don't, then just leave for a little bit, unlike me get mad and shout at everyone (I'm working on it). There's compromise to every conversation.
Another thing, I very much remember when we've played games on mumble, and people have their separate conversations we were shouted at for game talk. If there's going to be more mumble, I suggest more channels.
People defending mumble surfers, they're bloody great! When you've had the "privilege" to meet the various nasty and evil ones I and others have, that's when you don't want to be in there anymore. I think there needs to be a crack down on that. If you're not willing to remove the server from the public, there should be people in there who can ban and kick. We have children in there, Lynn, kuma ventures in and various others. Safety is key and we don't need another incident again, younger members are our most vulnerable, it needs to be stopped or we're going to lose members because they don't feel safe.
