Been away because college. Mostly have been catching up on the huge backlog I have on steam since then. Since I have more time on my hands I figured I could start sinking it in to dota.

Looks like it will take a while to get used to the new things that have been added since August.

You are definitely in for a treat with the last 3-4 patches, tons of stuff has changed. I don't remember how long you've been gone but I'm pretty sure you were around for the switch to Teamspeak (meaning we aren't on Mumble anymore!)

Point your teamspeak to voice.dotanoobs.com, hopefully we see ya soon!

Off-topic: I still uses a private Murmur server and we are more than happy with it. What prompted the switch to TS?

I really like Murmur and am a huge FOSS advocate but the ServerQuery interface for Teamspeak is night-and-day better than the ICE stuff for Mumble/Murmur, at least it was at the time we decided to switch.

I need the ability to do anything I could do as an admin on Teamspeak inside of my Python code so I can do fancy stuff like change server groups after X total hours connected, create event channels automatically, and soon to hand out "doob points" for participation in said events etc.

That was our main motivation for swapping over, Teamspeak was much more feature complete in that area.

Makes sense, I figured that was the case. ICE is no fun and a horrible legacy API design.
