TeamSpeak

I’ve been thinking over the passed few week and comparing TJA to MBU although totally different games, Teamspeak in MBU is often used. I have also overheard discussions between people who said the previously TeamSpeak has been widely used by members of the JA. So my question is, why isn’t it used more often?? There is a perfectly good server sitting there! I personally have been on it a few times with Laziana, and I think it’s very useful especially when explaining things, as in game the character amount is capped.

Basically I suggest we start using TeamSpeak more often, whether it be in classes or just in general.

What do you guys think?

Sorry in advance for my ugly Finnish accent :D


Lol, im quite excited about hearing what people sound like, I think it's because I have imagined your voices in my head and have a feeling they are gonna sound totally different.

I think that using TeamSpeak for classes is general is not the best option to go. If you do not type the content of your teachings into the game, then nobody who was AFK for a minute is able to scroll back in the console to catch up.

And one of the most annoying things would be to repeat the same sentence over TS five times within a minute.

Whilst I have no problem as a Trainer when I need to repeat things for better understanding, TS would force me to handle one more application in the limited amount of class-time that I have.

I think that you cannot avoid putting the text into the game chat. And if it's just for the sake of a /condump LazIsTalkingTooMuch.txt.


Only part of ur arguement i disagree with is the part of having to repeat yourself, teamspeak has a wonderful record feature which if they missed anything can be posted for later listenin, not to mention if they're really hardcore can put it on ur ipod =). but if you are afk for a class typically you miss the demonstration and therefore need the teachings repeated again anyways...

moral of story DONT GO AFK DURIN CLASSES!



and if you haven't experienced Motrec's antics...and your not afriad...

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Motrec is right. Back in the day (like 05/06) TS was used all the time. Huge parties of people just straight up chilling and having a blast in game. It was the best way to have fun, learn and train. A majority of the old school TS people jumped ship and have moved on to WoW. We have our own TS server DJ set up and we are on there daily. Frankly, I would love to have more JA folks hop on and chat it up. You don't have to play the same games to have a fun conversation.

For those of you who missed the teamspeak parties we used to have on ja ts, all i can say is... dam you missed one helluva great time. up to 30 people on ts at any given time is a complete and total riot. I've spent so many hours on ts laughing my arse off that my wife even threatened divorce if i didnt keep it down. Thats how bad it got. lol.

To those of you who have not yet had the true MOTREC experience in ts, be prepared for sextreme fun and laughs. Also be warned that i have my own teamspeak disclaimer so you cant go back and complain to anyone about my behavior as A: DJ endorses my antics and B: There are lots of channels in teamspeak to choose from. My shananigans turn extreme ALOT of the time.at times, I take you places no one would think possible. Its all in good fun and thats the bottom line when you think about it.

For those who are up for a great time... I am always on wow ts and can be reached there. From time to time i pop on to ja ts though. hollar at me and the guys sometime, we'll hang out talk, get to know you\you get to know us. see what shakes loose :)

Actually, I am. Some of the CTF TS crew sometimes call me Arnold haha. Fm can comfirm this ;).

We even have a inside joke about it. They let me say LETS GO TO THE CHOPPAAA when i'm drunk :P. All good fun.

I'm not the only one though. We have this canadian guy called jakab who sounds exactly like jigsaw from saw (which is extremely creepy btw LOL).

The main point is: Its only a problem if you let it be a problem :P.

On the other hand I think that TS is very nice in itself as you have the chance to meet your fellow Academy members and talk to them "almost" in person. I think TS is nice to have a short talk, or on nice occasions like some co-op, a sunday event, a prom or Motrec's birthday.

All-in-all I think that TS should used more. I understand for people who are shy. On the other hand: Seriously guys - if you cannot talk to the general nice members of the Academy who else are you able to talk to?

For those with no mics: I understand that it might be a drawback in not being able to express yourself while the others are joking and having a laugh. But you can hop in and post your input in IRC or in the game. Being not able to speak does not need to mean that you are not able to attend :)

As far as I am personally concerned, I only have an issue with the "bad words" on the forums and in game.

IRC and Teamspeak are more casual and I have no issues with it there.

Ye im not sure how the policing of the TS server would work, but sometimes naughty words slip out. Its natural.

Doesn't stop you listen to all the witty banter / conversations though. Provided this idea gets off the ground, I just think it's a good resource and should be fully utilised.
