Mumble

We offer a Mumble server to chat with other BitMissile members or to talk with your friends online. This is a how-to on configuring Mumble and connecting to our server.

There are public and private rooms available to talk in. If you’re bored and just looking for someone to talk to, we have public channels to talk in. However, for groups of people acting independently, we also have private rooms.
