Tired of typing?

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.

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.

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

Tschow,

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.

Everyone should.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

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.

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

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 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.

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. :)

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