Gamenight - Saturday, April 12th.

[Taz]

Hi,

For anyone that may come across this thread, we have been arranging U1 gamenights once a month on the TCP Monster Mash server with various gamemodes. Up until now I have been emailing everyone, but now with the return of the forums, I will try to announce it here 2 weeks in advance.

Currently the next gamenight is this Saturday, 12th of April. Time is set to 19-20 CET \ 18-19 BST for the UK and 13-14 for Van I think Early\late or stay however long you like.

A voicechat is currently up and running. As a moderator, I think I may have to be present for anyone to join without registration. If you have or don't have a mic, you are still very much welcome to listen to our ramblings. If you do have a mic, don't forget to grant it permission to use your microphone. Join through this link when day comes

Hey,

this is great, thanks for arranging it. Can't tell now if I'll be able to join, but this is good news. Gonna check if I have Unreal 1 at all.

But why not use Teamspeak or Discord for voice communication? Never tried Jitsi, so I'm not sure what it is.

Hey Coco

Check your PM if you still need a copy of Unreal 1 !

We did use Discord for a little while and it did work without anyone requiring to register for Discord. After the first time, we ran into issues and spent more time trying to solve them. Some like Discord and some don't, so I found Jitsi that works and required no registration for clients. Open source and end-to-end encrypted, but also quite known. Also works right off the web browser or from the phone so I wouldnt mind Teamspeak or Mumble - both great options. Wolf is also a fan of these.

It will require everyone to get Teamspeak\Mumble and create an account. Probably not a big ask if we're going to keep this up once a month I just kept it simple for anyone wanting in on the action lol

Discord is a most terrible invention brought to us by forces of supreme evil and I can say that after having signed up to that service 3 times with 3 different emails and was always being forced to confirm my "suspicious account" with a phone number.. No thanks, buddy..
But I might be able to make it, I have to double check my schedule...Bayern will most likely beat Dortmund, so I do not have to follow that game too closely, though if it does go the other way, I might have to check in and revel in the anger and disappointment of those Bavarians

Hmm, ok, me and my friends have no problems with Discord at all. Works like a charm from the very first moment. Moreover, it never required a phone number or something in that direction. I wouldn't use it if it did. Anyway, I was just asking. We sure can use other services as well.
