Mumble Used in the right way

[DesmoLocke]

It seems this discussion regarding guidelines for a Code of Conduct has quickly turned into a debate about music.

How about no music? Period.

Mumble is about enhancing the gameplay experience. Not using it to blast your taste in music. I'm all for dirty jokes and good humor (humour) but leave the music for yourself.

FYI: I currently don't use Mumble as it is right now, because it is often more a hindrance than an enhancer.

Chris, you have/had your own thread about mic spamming, if you want to talk about broadcasting music, please discuss it there, not here. I know you like it, but stop bringing it into this thread.

[Pure_beef]

I go on the IGI mumble server and its fine there, no music at all, just good banter

I never had my own thread on the topic.

This thread was for discussing a code of conduct on Mumble. Obviously some people like it and want to have some sort of comprise so we can continue using it, but unfortunately the Devs are not included in that group. And we all know absolute authority rules over all.

I'm done, my opinion has been stifled and met without compromise.

I think that its going to be best that the servers come up with our own rules for the use of mumble while playing on their server. I fully support how other servers run their show, but if your playing on TCombat its gonna be how we say its going to be. I'm not going to buy into a "general" code of ethics or a standard way of doing things based on the entire communnity. Sorry not trying to be a **** or disrespectfull but thats the way it is.

I can understand the misunderstanding, since you're both named chris .

Errr, I think you're wrong here. Everyone wants good behaviour on servers, including Mumble. But the thing is, hardly anyone supports the idea of music broadcasts. You can't blame the devs for that, it's the majority of the community that doesn't accept the idea.

If you want to, you can hop in another channel with all the people that like the music broadcast. There's always empty channels around, so..

-Basically, if you start playing music over Mumble in my vicinity I will shoot you. In the face.

EDIT: When you start up PR it's because you want to play a teamwork-based tactical FPS, not because deep down you're a DJ waiting to be set free upon the world.

To be honest if you're blasting around in a huey with ride of the valkryies on then that doesent bother me. If you're standing next to me in the jungle singing wham then we have a problem.......

What he said lol

M8, if you want to go around playing music that's fine, but god help you if I ever catch you doing it while I'm in the same mumble server. Remember, it's not just about you and your close circle of friends, but everyone on the server, and if you're getting your kicks by pissing everyone else off, that's not on.

You cant puch a guy from your PC

I think that this thread is like:


But anyhoo, I will go on.

Spamming music/shouting/annoying sounds over Mumble is just plain annoying, and I have never seen it happen, and hopefully won't.

Playing music to your squad if that is what they wish is fine. If you are joining a server, well, tough tits, you should have joined earlier to not hear it, wait 2 minutes and you won't hear it.

However, if a server rules are no music/spamming/stupid noises then those are the rules, do not complain if you get kicked banned from the mumble server. They pay for the server, adhere to their rules.

As far as a code of conduct goes, well here is a great rule. The only one you will eeeeeevvvveeeeeerrrr need.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MUMBLE: RULES

1. Common sense.

______

Problem solved.

"it" being music, not good behavior. And you're wrong on the "hardly anyone". And I didn't blame the devs for making people not support the idea. And a considerable amount of these people who don't support it are those who join in the channel but aren't ingame, so they hear it as "force centered". And again, I'm trying to shut up here and be everyones *****. Stop talking about it and get back ontopic, we already know every single damn person hates music ingame. Except me. Of course as an only supporter what does my opinion matter anyways

Try.

Christ, so when nobody is around cept' your squaddies and you're bored, you're going to stay focused and steady like it's reality? Hell, even in real life they banter and have some music when they're bored!

Don't you see how dim that would be? To shoot anyone having a laugh with his squaddies playing music for like 20seconds just because you want to feel serious? Are you crazy? Would you shoot people playing music IRL?

I think you guys are generalizing too much on those DJs, to shortly play music at some point during the game to have a good laugh with squaddies is not being a DJ. And if you think that it is, then you're worse than my 80yrs old angry neighbour. I've seen no DJ around yet, meaning somebody who'd be playing music for the whole game ; and THAT would be annoying obviously.

-It's quite simple, the purpose of mumble is to allow players to communicate with each other in order to improve gameplay. It's purpose is not to broadcast music. If you're in a corner of the map with no one near you(or your fellow listeners) then by all means, go crazy with music over mumble, but that is no what we're discussing. What has precedence over mumble? Actual communication between players pertaining to the game. Is music part of that communication? No. So this is not an argument worth having, I think we can all agree that playing music in a populated area is a no-go. You cannot realistically get the consent of everyone in the area and people may be passing through or arriving at that area without you being aware of it. If you and two other guys are by yourselves and none of you has a problem with it you can play music. You can also make fart-noises over in-game VOIP. You can do whatever you want to on your own if you're not interfering with anyone else, this is obvious, it is pointless to discuss it. So the only thing to discuss is whether or not you should play music in a populated area of the map. The answer is: No.

[Tannhauser]

I hear you, and I fully agree, but this does in NO WAY gives you the right to TK.
Ask, if he keeps doing it, kick.

Simple as that.

The worse you'll achieve by TKing will be making the guy pissed or even summon immature behavior, making him annoy you even more, and making him get banned.
No TK, no E-drama. Admins will admin, it's their job not ours.

...Just use your Ipod if you want music, do you really need to have everyone hear what music you're into and over mumble? come off it

[Saobh]

Erm guys ? I believe the "No Music thingy into my face" point has been well discussed enough. So try bringing some new breath to this thread otherwise its getting locked for "Re-Ranting like Tannhausers 80 year old neighbor"

[cfschris]

What he said. I would find it to be annoying. I want to hear what is happening in game, if I want music then I will play it for myself(which i don't because I want to be able to hear every sound in game). Like they said in Star Wars"Cut the chatter"

Ok, then obviously youve never even experienced Mumble Music and have no right to complain. It is in NO ways like a massive subwoofer walking next to you, its music but at a speaking volume. You still hear the battle environment around you perfectly fine.

Sorry for the no new breath in this post, Im just very pissed at yet another person bitching about it when they havent even experienced it.
