I've searched various forums to see if anyone could suggest a solution. Quite a few people have created threads about similar problems but I've yet to find any solutions.
My headphone works just fine and I've tried uninstalling and re-installing TeamSpeak with no luck. |

I have the same problem, I just keep trying until it connects.

Omar, did you just make a change to this? It has not been true so far. That is to say, when the game was over, it disappeared from the 'Live Games' section. The people who were already watching it could continue to spectate, but the players themselves could not start spectating after the game ended. |
|
Yes, this was changed when I changed it so that the result is not reported until the delay time is over.

Glad you could fix this - it was anticlimatic to see the game conclusion in the gameroom before the game was finished!
As for players not showing up in the chat until the game is over for spectators - is there any way this can be enforced or at least timed so that the player knows when they can join the chat? Or is the player supposed to watch the end of his own game? Some kind of guideline would be helpful.

Not easy to enforce this. It would be best if the players just watch the end of their own game before coming into the chatroom.

That's strange. Sometimes if the server is upgraded the clients need to be upgraded in order to be able to connect to the server. But, I have not upgraded the server recently.
I'll restart the server in case it might help.

Omar proposed an idea for co-commentating that I'd like to try in round 6. One commentator suggests moves for Gold then after the move has been played the 2nd commentator suggests a move for silver. This could be interesting if the two commentators have different styles that match up with the corresponding player. For example, it just so happens that many of the pairings for Round 6 feature a strategic player versus a tactical player. Everyone uses both strategy & tactics, of course, but I'm labelling based upon each player's forte.
Fritzlein vs. Chessandgo
rabbits vs. Tuks
woh vs. hanzack
etc. are a few examples of strategic vs. tactical battles in round 6.
I'd be willing to experiment with this for 1 or more games this round if anyone else wants to give it a shot. I'd be most comfortable suggesting moves for Chessandgo/Tuks/hanzack, etc. since they're the players whose moves I'm more likely to correctly predict.

Intriguing! I'll bet that Nombril can predict more of my moves than you can predict of chessandgo's moves. But mostly that is because I am so predictable.

I did notice that Fritz's postgame analysis was pretty close to what I had been saying during the live game. And also chessandgo's comments in chat often agreed with Adanac's statements on the commentary...
I'm up for the challenge, and would be willing to take up the opposite half of the games Adanac mentioned. (Well, I probably wouldn't be able to do all three...)
Since some of the scheduled times change on Tuesday, I'll plan on reviewing my own schedule then, and hopefully some of our times will match up.

I suppose I'm the strategic player here then?

Actually I was pretty much typing things and then erasing them as you were saying them aloud (or as rabbits were playing them) the whole way But yeah, I suppose I took quite a few things from Adanac's play.

Heh, I would cast the difference between me and you as more material-oriented versus goal-oriented. When you and I disagree about a position, it is usually because I value a material advantage more highly and you value a goal attack more highly. I wish I could claim to be more strategic than you and attribute all of your victories over me to superior tactics, but the sad reality is that you are better than me at both strategy and at tactics. 
P.S. In the past when I have praised you, in the week before we play a tournament game, as being a better player than I am, you have described it as "psychological warfare". My stance is that if you don't want me to say you are a better player than I am, then you need to start losing to me more often.

I can co-commentate on two games this week: jdb vs. Nevermind (with Fritzlein) and Fritzlein vs. Chessandgo (with Nombril).
I might do knarl vs. ginrunner on Friday (anyone want to co-commentate?) but it depends on whether I can get out of work as early as I’m supposed to.
Where the other commentator agrees to it, this week I'd prefer to experiment with Omar's suggestion of alternating commentary after each move.

So I'll do jdb and you'll do Nevermind?
The other games I am hoping to commentate (with or without a co-commentator) are Nombril vs. Adanac and Hippo vs. Sconibulus.

I have updated the commentary spreadsheet. Thanks to whoever was doing this every round until now (Hippo?); it's a little fussy. But it was good for me to get a primer in Google spreadsheet. We have coverage for five games already; more commentary/co-commentary is always welcome.

I believe I will be able to commentate for both Tuks vs. hanzack and chessandgo vs. Nombril. Earlier in the tournament I was encouraging other commentators to spread around among the games so that a higher percentage of games would have at least some commentary. Now that we are down to just four games, I am hopeful that all games will have at least one comentator, so if folks would like to join me commentating my two games of choice I have no objections.

Ok, I hadn't commentated any WC game yet, I've finally made the leap with Adanac-rabbits. I've put my name as "main commentator", but actually if someone wants to commentate with me I'll likely take the co-commentator position
