mfw I was about to buy this exact headset - let me know how their support are b/c that will determine if i buy from them
It's a really good headset, it's lasted me 3-4 years at this point, survived minor water incident where something leaked in my bag while I had it with me, the range is really good and the battery life is great. If you want a headset to wear about, you can get the pro and use its bluetooth for your phone and shit, but if you got a mic port on your phone the 7 works fine. I'd also say that the band that sits on your head is also really good, though mine is a bit worn now. I also had to replace the earpads a couple months ago as the fabric had worn off them, but delivery on the new ones was only a few days.

I'll let you know how the support goes, and if they'll even repair it if it needs it, but otherwise I highly rate it, tbh.

Gross. We should probably have it in the rules of requiring an okay microphone or something, maybe we just leave that for when/if we turn to a whitelist server.

I'mma roleplay that you got a parrot with you


In other news, @Warwick I think Customer Service have figured out the issue with the headset, they had me use the 3.5mm jack that it comes with and the mic works, so it must be an issue with the wireless adapter. In honesty, a part of the cable is frayed from rubbing against a part of my desk and when I found it I taped it up thinking it was fine if I could still hear stuff, but I'm assuming it must not be the case, so I'm waiting to hear back from customer support to see if they think the same, and if they'll help me get a new one (hopefully maybe at a discount from the £26, but even then I'll take a £26 replacement transmitter over a £175 headset lol)

Not quite sure we'd need to go that far

Discord Interviews lol, Making sure the person is 16/18+ and capable of role-playing competently and isn't a fucking mince pie.

Should also have one of those hidden phrases in the ruleset so people have to read the rules in order to find the phrase

Honestly, if the rules dictate that you need to be 18+ (in my boomer utopia it'd be 20+) then it doesn't matter if the player really is or isn't. So long as they claim to be, and give no evidence to the contrary, nobody is hurt.

As for hidden phrases? With a decent enough application layout for an allowlist, there's very little need.

Thing with hidden phrases in rules, is the fact you can get the answer from somebody else (*cough @Jamie* when we played dayz) or ctrl-f it, negating the whole reason why the phrase would be there in the first place.

Easier to just ask basic questions based around the rules and test somebodies knowledge and or situational awareness.
