Title: The Teamspeak chat room:
Post by Arimabuff on Apr 9^th, 2010, 12:34am

Can't we use it on a regular basis, whenever we feel like it that is? I think it would be interesting if we could actually hear what everyone of us sounds like. Not to mention that I badly need the practice, I hadn't realized until yesterday, how much my oral English has gotten rusty.

Anyway, that's food for thought.

Yes, you can use it at anytime. But chances are low that others will be there at the same time when an event game is not in progress. I don't think I can interface it with the gameroom to show how many people are in the TeamSpeak room; so no one will know you are there. I think the only way to get multiple people there at the same time is by announcing it in the gameroom. Maybe we can have weekly gatherings there, if there's interest; kind of like a virtual Arimaa club :-)

If you are interested in having the number of people on the TS server displayed in the gameroom, it looks like the this information is fairly easily available over a simple tcp socket and text protocol. The details can be found in the server query manual at the teamspeak literature page (http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=literature). Although I haven't actually tried it out so there may be hidden difficulties in making it work.
