WOOO BART a resounding hear hear!
ok for those of you commenting on this thread that think it is ONLY about the use of other prgs for voice and chat that is the issue here, AS IF that isnt big enough on its own, I would like to remind you that this issue was raised because of an event that was held last tuesday and at the time was not a TBC event.
The motion put forward by TBC member Davy Burnrat seeking reassurance over the use of other prgs for voice and chat was prior to the event, at the time he like many thought it WAS a TBC event.
After some confusion the event took place and I summed up the event for a pof pirate who wasnt there at the time, nor were most of the administrators commenting on this thread there so far as I know:
'...In the cold hard light of the event, the organiser took the captains from their crews at short notice prior to the sail to give them rules, leaving little time for the information to be passed on before the event, they were not allowed to crew with their ship mates making communication without team spk/chat prg awkward.
-Some ships were shouting orders in privateer talk, which made it confusing and distracting looking for your teams orders. A major cause of lag is your chat log scrolling.
-Crews were talking in local which again a major cause of lag.
Captains had to whisper to crew if we were in close proximity to the opposite team, opening chat windows an clicking on pirate cards again a lag issue and a slow way to communicate.
-On top of all this we were restricted to playing within the islands and rocks area the WORST area for lag a lot of war sloops a lot of fury n fire in a small area making play with skill very difficult.
The result was those not using a chat programme or with excellent connection speeds an graphics cards, had crew dcing every few minutes or so, my captain ported when three of his four crew disconnected in the lag.
NOW I think my self all of this can be worked through BUT, the organiser wouldnt take my point as valid in stead he offered the words, 'After any great event there is always some one who shouts cheat'.
I felt belittled over seeking reassurance regarding non use of team spk or other chat prgs. I for one, and there are many like me, am not prepared to break disney rules on 3rd prty prgs and it simply isnt practical or fair to make us feel that we have to do it to be in with a chance of competeting.....'
Just giving you some perspective on the other issue attached to this thread and how it connects to the logistics of the event being proposed to become a TBC event.
