I want to point out that skype is really a bad choice for this as it needs a special group and someone to maintain it and add/remove people etc. Then it involves calling specific people in the group and so onā¦itās just not meant to handle this kind of setup.
Ever since I started making my game definitions, Iāve been providing a mumble server which is much more suited to online gaming, with a drop-in/drop-out system and ad-hoc voicerooms with subrooms etc. Unfortunately people never really started using it, but if you are insterested, the server is still up
port: 63836
You can go to the OCTGN channel and I already have netrunner rooms setup. People can just leave mumble idling and look who else is also online.

I like the idea of something like Mumble/Ventrilo a lot better! Generally much higher quality voice, MUCH simpler interface, and you can see who is online very easily.
I would happily pay for a Ventrilo server monthly and host for this- Netrunner is the only game I play and all my extra-curricular time is spent online in octgn or on forums.
Iām all for @db0 's idea as well- it depends on what the community prefers! Letās take a vote!

I know about the Mumble server and it is great, but I wanted this a place to go where (1) it was exclusively stimhackers so the quality of the games was higher, (2) you could share screen and play with more than 1 person on a side without crowding the OCTGN room, and (3) reasonably use the chat from both desktop and mobile platforms regardless of whether youāre looking for an OCTGN game. Many of us have been using Skype for a long time to play together and, in my opinion, these features outweigh the simplicity of Mumble for the purposes of building a community of friends rather than just having a place to talk once you end up in a game.
Itās just different, and there is certainly room for them to coexist. In fact, I actively encourage all of you to download Mumble and use @db0ās server instead of Skype once you find a game if for any reason Skype is being unwieldy.

Skype requires the most management but is the most accessible.
Mumble has been volunteered by @db0 but is shared with other OCTGN games.
Ventrilo would be hosted and managed by me but dedicated exclusively to Netrunner.
I donāt think a poll is 100% necessary; I use skype all the time and will keep this group going there regardless of the results. If you want to set up Ventrilo go ahead.
You make a lot of great points I hadnāt considered regarding screen share and spectating- if youāre going to do anything beyond voice chat Skype is definitely the optimal choice.

I happen to use Skype for work so I appear online more than I am, but Iāll gladly hang out with other netrunners, even if I canāt play all the time.

Playing games with voice chat would be splendid. Also, I find I learn a ton screen sharing and getting a 2nd perspective on things.
