Hello Creeperlandians!
For those of you who do not know, we have a Creeperlands official Skype group and an Official Creeperlands Teamspeak 3 Server.
The Skype group is a group for those of us who like to chat via text/voice/video with fellow Creeperlands members on the Skype platform. It's the most used everyday conversational communication channel for text based chat. We don't really host calls anymore since we got the TS server, but plenty of text chat goes on everyday! Now I know some members are younger and are not okay, or their parents are not okay, with participating in a Skype group like this with people you don't personally 'know', or simply have no interest in a Skype group, and that's okay! This is a completely optional group and I promise you won't miss any important news or events pertaining to Creeperlands just because you're not in the Skype group. You can get all info/news/announcements via this forum and on the server.
But for those of you interested in joining us on Skype, joining us is easy! Just friend me [@soulfox8] (or another staff member) on Skype, let us know who you are, and we'll add you to the group! (You can also find Skype names on user profiles (if they have them).)
The rules are the same for the Skype group as they are for the forums and the Server, with a few additions::
-Do not spam the text chat
-Do not repeatedly try to host a call if no one is picking up
-Refrain from playing audio into the Skype calls without consent from the other participants.
-Please do not send direct file transfers to the group, if you wish to share a picture, please use a photo hosting site and post the link
-Please make sure that any videos you share are appropriate
-Do no add people outside of Creeperlands to the Skype group
Now, like I said, we also have a Teamspeak3 Server. This server is up 24/7, and is the main channel of voice communication for our community. We almost always use it during events and parties on the server, when we play other games together, and just for idle conversation. There are 2 sections to our TS server. The public lobby, and the private lobby. The public lobby has a handful of channels that anyone is welcome to use and join. The private channels are strictly for Creeperlands server members only, and you must ask a moderator to add you to the server group to have full access.
If you wish to join our TS server, simply PM a staff member and we will send you the IP. Once you've joined the server, a mod will put you in the members group and you'll have full access. You are not to share the IP with anyone without requested permission.
Teamspeak Server Rules::
-All behavioral and content related rules from the forums and MC server apply to the TS server.
-Respect all users and the Staff.
-Please use a respectable volume when speaking, and be considerate of background noise. Use push to talk if needed.
-Please use headphones when using the TS server, nobody likes feedback and echoing.
-Please do not play any kind of audio or music into the server unless you are in the designated music sharing channel.
-A mic is not needed to join the server, you're welcome to listen and type back.
-Please refrain from spamming the text chat.
-Please do not post links of any kind in the text chat, you are however welcome to post them in private chats.
-Please use the AFK channel if you're going to step away for more than a minute or two.
-Please do not spend excessive amounts of time in the AFK channel. If you're leaving, exit the server.
-Please be sure to use the correct channels for your purpose, and if non exist, create a temporary channel or request a permanent one from the staff.
-Please keep temporary channels appropriate, this power can be taken away if abused.
