Hey guys, a lot of you are starting to get into fortress or are interested in learning to play fortress. I will be hosting an open fortress practice for any Fast Track player that would like to attend. The practice will be Monday 9/1 at 5pm Eastern. There is a requirement to be able to attend! You must install and set up Teamspeak! This is a voice communication program that allows everyone to talk to teach other. Link to Teamspeak: TS3 Download Page Server Connection: practice.tronzero.com (this server is already up) Please try to connect to the Teamspeak server before the practice to make sure it works! You will be kicked from the practice if you cannot connect to the Teamspeak server!
Note that bad behavior will not be tolerated. Uncooperative players will be kicked with little warning.
When it comes time for practice, open Armagetron and do a custom connection to tronzero.com:4539. Note that the server is not up yet at the time of this post.
Understand that this practice is not affiliated with the new Fast Track Ladle team, and anyone can attend even if you plan to play on a different team than the FT ladle team.
If you have any problems setting up teamspeak or anything else, please comment in this thread and we will try to get things sorted out.
Thanks all, and hope to see you Monday!

I didn't know the practice was for the entire Fasttrack community, makes me feel less special. :/

I don't think that many people will go if teamspeak is mandatory.

Teamspeak is EXTREMELY useful for teamwork, fort especially. Not everyone is telepathic

While voice chat is invaluable for team communication, I don't want to force it on anyone.
However, I have a lot of material I would like to cover, and it would be terribly inefficient to try and type it all in a practice setting.
Who else will only come if ts is not required? If toast is correct, I would be willing to try and set up a voice stream. Please post though so I know this is needed.
Also post if you plan on attending with teamspeak. If you are worried about having to talk or don't have a headset, don't worry! You won't have to say anything if you don't want to - just listen.

Rotc, this practice is for Fast Track players that are new to fort. It will be heavy on explanation of things that you already know. xD
No one seems to want to post here that they are willing to come with teamspeak installed. Still, if even one person comes with ts, I will hold the practice as there will still be beneficial things that we can do.
To those objecting to teamspeak: it was only a 27MB download (for win32) and took less than 15 seconds to install. You can uninstall it just as quickly after practice. The only reason I am requiring it is to be able to explain everything quickly.
