Download the client software on the right side of the screen. Installation is pretty simple, as there's a wizard when you first start the application to help you set up your mic and audio.
I highly recommend using a button to activate it, rather than having your mic turn on automatically when it picks up noise. This is especially true for laptop users or those using a webcam w/ mic. You'll have this option towards the end of the wizard (my push-to-talk is set to mouse button 5, your scroll button (click, not scroll) is also free in aos for you 3 button mouse owners).
If you choose to do push-to-talk, keep your threshold rather low (so that it's easier to pick up sounds), this means your blue part of the meter should be small. If instead you are using auto-detect, be sure to keep your threshold toward the high end, or else the rest of us will pick up your game and background noise, which can get quite irritating, especially with 16 people.
Once you've setup your microphone, click the picture of the world icon. Then click "Add New" and enter the following:
Label: Aloha Address: Mumble.aloha.pk Port: 64738 (unchanged) Username: Your username. Please stick to your most common username, as after you register, you'll never get to change it.
Once you're connected, double click on Aloha to put you in that channel. On the event day there will be channels for Blue and Green team.

Its been a while since the last event and for the first 2015 event we have decided to hold a soccer/football event for y'all. There might even be a little surprise too if we can figure it out.
optional but highly recommended:save this custom cp.kv6 into your ~\Ace of Spades\kv6 folder to replace the default tent with a ball. more fun and easier to play this way! don't forget to back-up you kv6 tent file (cp.kv6) or you may lose it.

- One team is assigned to be the attacker, the other team are the defenders
- Attackers have unlimited respawns, defenders only have 1 life.
- Attackers spawn in a holding pen and can choose where they spawn. Depending on the map, they can spawn North (/n), East (/e), South (/s) or West (/w). If they don't select one within 10 seconds of respawning, the server picks one for them and automatically spawns them.
Be careful though. The top of the map does not always mean it is considered North. To check which way is North, look where the arrow is pointing in the holding pen. It will always be pointing towards the North, as seen in the image below.
- Attackers must kill all defenders or capture the flag (stand near it) before the time runs out. The longer it takes, the higher the defender's score is.
To find where the defending team's flag is, look for the structure seen below. Simply standing by the flag pole will allow the capturing process to start.
- At the end of the round, the teams swap roles. Whichever team has the highest score wins 1 point.
- First team to reach the specified amount of points (10) wins the game.

Spoiler for map:
@Danko thanks for changing the colors
Spoiler for build server:
The map is divided into grid sectors:
Spoiler for Grid Sector Image:
You can see these on the map by pressing "m" ("n" in OpenSpades). You can go to any sector and claim it, which means only you can build on it. Additionally, you can share this sector with your friends, and they'll be able to build on it any time they like, even if you're not around. In this way, you can work together on a project without worrying about someone griefing it when you're gone.
From the server status page, you can see what sectors are claimed, and who currently in the server has permission to build where. Put your cursor over the coordinates and it'll tell you who owns that sector.
Now, in order to claim a sector, you must login. Anyone with a forum account can build: it's done automatically when you registered on our forums here on Aloha.pk. If you haven't registered yet, do so now! There's no need to apply for trusted or anything like that. Just having a forum account is all you need. When on the server, you simply use:
/login forumname password or /login "my forum name" password
Where forumname is the exact spelling of your forum name here, and your password is the same as well (you can change your in-game password to be different from your forum password under profile > modify profile if you'd like). If your name has spaces in it, just wrap it in "quotation marks". Example: /login "o hai there" mypass
Once logged in, you'll have access to the following commands:
/claim This allows you to claim a sector as your own, if it hasn't been claimed by someone already. You can only claim ONE sector at a time.
/unclaim This removes your claim. You'll no longer be able to build on your sector, but you can claim another one. Anyone you shared this sector with will also no longer be able to build on it (although anyone can claim it now).
/share PLAYER Use this command to share your sector with anyone you'd like currently on the server. They must be logged in, however, to be able to build on your sector. Replace PLAYER with the name of the player you'd like to share with, or just use their # as listed by pressing tab in game. Example: /share ei8htx, or /share #5. Obviously, you must have already claimed a sector to share one.
/unshare PLAYER Use this to unshare a sector with someone. The player must currently be online on the server. If they're not online, a work around would be to quickly /unclaim your sector, and then reclaim it. This would make you the only owner, and all persons who were shared before will have lost their privileges.
/sector This command tells you the coordinates of the sector you're in, and who currently owns it, as well as anyone else the sector is shared with.
/findsector Tells you all the sectors currently unclaimed. This may come in handy on event day!
That's it for all the claiming commands. The build server also includes some very powerful tools from SuperCoolBuild, which you may have seen on BuildandShoot.com. You can do things like rising platforms, switches, and locking doors. Check out a more in-depth thread on these commands here:
Very important to remember: It's first come, first serve! When the event starts, join quick to get your sector and claim it. There are 64 sectors total (8*, so there's plenty to go around, but if you want a nice spot, be on time! If you just want to work on one sector with a friend or 2, you don't all have to claim a sector. Just one of you can /claim it, and then /share with all of you.
A competition will be held for this buildcon and there will be prizes for the best builds. If you would like to submit your build for the competition please private message me (shywolf91) before November 6 2014 at 8 AM GMT. Entries will not be approved if received later than then November 6 at 8 AM GMT.
2nd place: Choose December FSOM game mode + Special Banner
3rd place: special banner
Only one person in each prize tier will win a prize.
Rules:
Submission deadline: November 6 by 8 AM GMT
Only the sector owner will win a prize.
Voting begins Friday November 7 2014 and will last a week
The top three voted sectors will win.
Theme: building something Halloween related is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged.
Cheating, hacking, and rude behavior of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in a ban.
A separate thread will be made for the competition/voting after the event is over. Please do not forget to send in your submissions and have a fun Halloween.
Please pm me (shywolf91) if you want to submit your creation using the following template:
Spoiler for template:

hello everybody today i am here to tell you about reflex :-)
it's an arena deathmatch first-person shooter game, currently in a pre-alpha stage of development. the developers have a ton of industry experience and are themselves avid gamers. here's their kickstarter trailer!
seem a lot like quake to you? it is a lot like quake. one of the developers used to also develop cpma - a hardcore mod for quake 3 which made the game even more fun than vanilla q3. the reflex developers took cpma's gameplay as a base from which to work and built an entirely new engine for it in their spare time - all three also work fulltime jobs, and they have been spending what time they weren't using to sleep or make money working on this for the last 18 months.
so why play this when you could play quake or any of its innumerable mods?
the fast-paced arena fps genre has been slowly dying for several years now. there's a small playerbase spread over far too many mods of quake, and this game has the potential to unite the majority of these players
ease of use! a major problem with quake and its various mods has been that it's just too difficult to get into. the developers recognize this and plan on spending a lot of time on making the game accessible and creating high quality built-in tutorials
in-game multiplayer map editing. you can make and simultaneously (by yourself or with friends) playtest maps. i don't think i need to explain why this is awesome :)
in-game replay editing. fragmovies are easy \:D/
dedicated servers and lan support
high performance and responsive input (targeting 120fps with 1000hz input sampling)
awesome spectator features. multiview, casting overlays, on-screen live statistics, spectator vs spectator interaction
steamworks integration - friends, achievements, VoIP, player invites + more
bots. one of the developers has decades of experience with ai and has the very ambitious goal of creating the best ai ever seen in an fps game. bots will use the tricks, stats, strategy and spam binds of real players
apologies for the slightly unreadable text, but here's some info on the developers
i'd just like to say that i have no affiliation with any of the developers but i'm really, really excited for this game and hope you guys are too. help it get greenlit and spread the word! if you're feeling generous you could even help back it on kickstarter
we've been hosting pyspades servers since late 2011 and over time our dedicated team of admins have issued more than 36,000 bans to cheaters and troublemakers, which has kept the game playable for all of us:
we agreed that most of these bans are now likely irrelevant due to their age, so we've decided to forgive the past by removing the oldest and less severe newer bans (thanks to BR for making that easy) as summarized below:
all bans issued from late 2011 through December 31, 2013
all bans issued this year EXCEPT those that have a reason of "aimbot" or "ESP"
if you were previously banned and fit into the above description then this is your lucky day! but please don't take this chance for granted because we remain active and still have record of all old bans that can be crosschecked with present offenses.
Also, I created this map called crossfire 3. Not sure if it would be fun on babel but I think it's an interesting idea to have destructible side paths like this which could change the gameplay dynamics of the map drastically once griefed.
look for aloha.pk tower of babel on the server list or join directly @ aos://1379434439:34887:0.75
