So don't do voice; we rarely do. Joel Send a noteboard - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM
Weird that no one has any inclination to do something like that.

So I don't see the problem. If people want it so much, why not do something more than just post on the MBs about it.

Usually to talk people into a voice call take me a week of beating the bushes on FB, here and in the Skype chat. And we're still lucky to get a half dozen people. Some of them may mute their mic and just do text. Most of the time, probably 90-95%, it is text only, but I like doing calls when people are willing 'cos you can communicate faster, and I can do other things.

I've already had several days like that. Yet people keep insisting RAFO is better without chat. *NM* Aeryn - 10/10/2010 05:29:46 PM 347 Views
it depends which chat we get. LadyLorraine - 10/10/2010 05:44:58 PM 546 Views
You're in the Skype Chat now, btw. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:59:24 PM 474 Views
When chat used to be down for long stretches, everyone would just pile into AIM chat. TaskmasterJack - 10/10/2010 06:54:33 PM 617 Views
Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:56:55 PM 643 Views
The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 12:34:22 AM 602 Views
So don't do voice; we rarely do. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM 600 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 11/10/2010 09:40:29 AM 248 Views
Is that why the Edinburgh gathering pics are always nothing but sign language and dirty gestures? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 10:36:00 PM 336 Views
Come and find out *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 10:48:56 PM 220 Views
The group that is popularized as being a part of that is not enticing to long standing wotmaniacs. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 03:29:57 AM 358 Views
This. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/10/2010 04:43:52 AM 212 Views
Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:33:32 AM 637 Views
I don't think most want to download another program when they had it so easy before. TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 10:39:55 PM 655 Views
Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem. Joel - 12/10/2010 04:20:04 AM 653 Views
I disagree. I don't think enough people think it worth the effort to deal with Skype. Ghavrel - 12/10/2010 04:28:21 AM 563 Views
What effort? Joel - 12/10/2010 04:38:42 AM 542 Views
The effort beyond clicking two buttons. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:25:57 AM 424 Views
Install, make a SN and search for people you email. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:43:09 AM 600 Views
Re: TaskmasterJack - 12/10/2010 11:00:56 PM 436 Views
Then where are they? Joel - 13/10/2010 04:00:46 AM 511 Views
You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:24:25 AM 572 Views
Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:45:40 AM 575 Views

Initially only the person who started it can boot. Joel - 13/10/2010 05:12:27 AM 653 Views

oops, sorry about that. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2010 03:42:33 PM 476 Views
Sounds right; don't really know much about The Tavern except that's all in character. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:06 AM 583 Views
What do you mean where are they? There isn't a chat linked to the site. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 10:44:10 PM 629 Views
So? Joel - 14/10/2010 04:52:37 AM 591 Views
Are you deliberately trying to not understand? John - 14/10/2010 05:54:16 AM 707 Views
Not deliberately. Joel - 14/10/2010 06:21:09 AM 602 Views
I have to admit that I highly doubt I would ever participate if a revived chat were installed Larry - 13/10/2010 05:08:38 AM 573 Views
I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM* Legolas - 13/10/2010 03:32:33 PM 263 Views
Things aren't what they used to be... TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 10:46:04 PM 523 Views
No John - 13/10/2010 04:45:29 AM 496 Views
"Unmoderated" would be going too far. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM 637 Views
Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM* Dan - 12/10/2010 05:25:39 AM 322 Views
I probably didn't phrase that right. Maybe an -er after long and an "in good" before standing. TaskmasterJack - 12/10/2010 11:02:30 PM 607 Views
Plenty of people who've been around as long as you, and plenty in good standing. *NM* Dan - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 306 Views
I see that my comments are being interpeted as a blanket insult to all parties involved... TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:09:09 PM 623 Views
Also "as long as me" doesn't really factor, because I wasn't using myself to set the bar. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:26:29 PM 635 Views
Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM* Dan - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 367 Views
The one who wants to chat, of course? *NM* jh - 13/10/2010 07:23:15 AM 322 Views
Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:10:04 PM 298 Views
I'd fuck myself to death with a spike of frozen cat piss before I'd chat with that skype crowd. LiterateDog - 13/10/2010 11:42:16 PM 633 Views

we are Rafonauts now. Yunalesca - 13/10/2010 03:16:32 PM 467 Views
Yeah, I know, I came up with the term. Many still consider the "old gang" as "wotmaniacs" though. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:01:58 PM 651 Views
I sure hope you're right. Joel - 14/10/2010 05:04:26 AM 647 Views
