Does anyone know A good form of comm aside from the usual walkie-talkies?

Neuro · 11-29-2003, 10:49 PM

in a line-of-site situation you can use hand signals or signal mirrors during the day. myself, I just prefer screaming FIRE AT WILL at the top of my lungs. god, I miss summer.

Ben · 11-30-2003, 07:39 AM

Yeah, I miss summer too. I personally never use walkie-talkies or anything other than talking. I never really need to becuase if I did, I'd run up to them.

maybe it will get warm enough over the winter to have a fight .not likely...

Jadefalcon09 · 11-30-2003, 08:21 PM

I wonder if someone can re-wire the X-Box live headset for this.... B)

Neuro · 11-30-2003, 08:42 PM

Neuro · 11-30-2003, 08:46 PM

Whoa, thats weird. I bet it's XPBackfire-esque though. I once tried to make an auto soak system that would soak someone once they passed the invisible trip line. I think I wrote something about it at the SSS, but I don't remember.

Belisaurius · 01-25-2004, 12:13 AM

hmm... well, we've tried using whistles and horns, but only for generally calls to gather and stuff, since we're too small right now for major comm.

Ben · 01-25-2004, 08:20 AM

You could do what most people end up doing: Screaming the commands. That's what I do at least.

Belisaurius · 01-31-2004, 07:58 PM

I actually used to play clarinet, but it snapped in half. fortunately the mouthpeice is fine and I remember how to play that, so I'm thinking of using it as a group signaller.

Ben · 01-31-2004, 08:20 PM

Cool, good idea.
You know what would be real good? One of those bird whistles, the other team should just ignore the bird sounds, while your team listens for them!

Belisaurius · 02-01-2004, 03:07 PM

Hey, that's funny., that'd be really cool

superstormer · 02-01-2004, 05:14 PM

Yeah, but if there are birds around there your teammates might not be able to tell the difference.

Ben · 02-02-2004, 05:45 AM

Well, you could use a distinct bird signal, or do it if there are no birds. I think I'll try that, there never are any birds where I battle.
