We all know that in Redemption in order to play the game you must talk to your opponent and for me it is difficult to focus on my game when I am constantly typing. I have found a solution!

Skype http://skype.com

On Skype you can talk to each other for free!

Here is my Skype name: matthew7785
If you want to be my contact either PM me or post on this thread

Please tell me what you think.

Votes for program:

Skype: 2

gTalk: 1

Skype names:

77matthew = matthew7785
Cameron the Conqueror = hacam00

The problem with Skype is that there is no way to make a "room" or group. We would need a constantly updated list with everyone's ID. In addition, you would have to individually become contacts with everyone.

But, it would work ok. Combine it with RTS, and I guess it would be interesting.

I will take the responsibility.

Yeah, but I have only 3 contacts so I wouldn't mind.

Hey,

You can also do a voice chat on gTalk, google's IM program.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

That would probably work better. I like the idea.

You can also do the chat straight from Gmail, without needing to install gTalk the program.

77matthew · « **Reply #5 on:** September 28, 2009, 10:13:52 PM »

So do you guys want to use that instead?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #6 on:** September 28, 2009, 10:15:41 PM »

well, not everyone uses gmail. Let some others post their ideas.

AIM can do audio & video chat...

And what if people( like me) don't have a mike?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #11 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:17:35 PM »

Use telepathy.

77matthew · « **Reply #12 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:40:19 PM »

Ok eveybody vote for what you want to use.

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:47:37 PM »

Skype is awesome, so I would vote for that if we want something to talk to each other.

However, none of these programs will do what Hamachi does regarding helping people get through firewalls to be able to connect to one another.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #14 on:** September 29, 2009, 12:08:03 AM »

Ventrillo/Teamspeak would be perfect in addition to Hamachi. When I get some spare money I'm going to buy a server.

77matthew · « **Reply #15 on:** September 29, 2009, 12:17:53 AM »

I edited my first post to show the votes

77matthew · « **Reply #16 on:** September 29, 2009, 06:59:43 PM »

Ok you guys the voting has ended (since I got only two votes) the winner is: Skype.
If you sill want to vote go ahead

Oh and Kyp Henderson I thought about it, you have two options:

1: You get phone numbers and you call them.

2: You buy a mic

Edit: If you want to do this "talk with out typing" thing, tell me your Skype name and I'll post it on the first post.

I'll bet Redemption Live will have live chat capabilities.

I bet Mike wants it, but voice chat is really bandwidth intensive. I bet it is either a "pro" feature. If not, that would be awesome though.

My Skype name is: hacam00

I vote gtalk. My email is ninja.of.lightning@gmail.com.

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #20 on:** September 29, 2009, 09:04:32 PM »

We need a solution that everyone uses. Then we won't have a problem similar, but much bigger than Hamachi and all its networks.

MP had a good idea, I would like to hear more about it.
