[B]Some Rules:[/B]
One team per room
Don't be an ass
Be nice
Be supportive
Please leave the text/voice chat room if not in a group playing a game
If someone is being a idiot beyond reason then screen cap and send the image to me and I will either warn or ban them.
I set up rooms like this:
Voice chat - Splatoon1
Text Chat - Splatoon1
Voice chat - Splatoon2
Text Chat - Splatoon2
and so on.....
So basically you join both rooms together so you can text and voice chat with your team. Once again, if you are not on the team in the chatroom, please leave so as to not add noise.
There is also a "chatforeveryone" room so everyone can join to text with each other.
I hope this program will get some use and make Splatoon a lot easier to communicate.
If anyone has any ideas on other settings I can use please not hesitate to msg me.

Splatoon is a brand new IP from Nintendo, and their take on the third-person shooter genre. Take control of a brand new all-star cast; a race of squid-kids called Inklings, and battle it out in an all-out turf war. Cover the territory in ink, and use the constant shifting dynamic to your advantage by transforming into a squid and surfing up the colorful splatter in high speed! In this new action game, pro-activity is always the name of the game, and each action taken counts on the messy, colorful road to victory.
The core of Splatoon is comprised of it's multiplayer. This is designed predominantly around online skirmishes, where 8 players divide into two teams, and battle it out for turf dominance. Battling online increases your Level, and will earn you plenty of perks and spoils to use in the process. Online modes come in two varieties - Regular and Ranked. To play in Ranked you need to have attained Level 10 in Regular battles. You will also be ranked by Skill levels in Ranked battles to assist matchmaking.
Turf War (Regular Battle) divides players into two teams and has them battle for who can cover most turf in the team's selected color paint.
Splat Zones (Ranked Battle) will see teams battle for control of a capture point in a King-of-the-Hill style mode. This mode will only be unlocked after a several amount of players have crossed Level 10.
Tower Control (Ranked Battle) is Splatoon's take on the similar TF2 mode Payload. Teams have to take control of a tower and deliver it to the opposite end of their point. This mode will be made available during Summer 2015.
Rainmaker (Ranked Battle) is a mode that is scheduled to be made available in Summer 2015. No info of this mode is known yet, so stay tuned.
Battle Dojo is Splatoon's local multiplayer mode. One player will use the Wii U Game Pad to play and the second player will use a Pro Controller on the TV. Both players battle to pop most balloons and collect power ups.
Featured as well is a fully fleshed out single player component with it's own set of tools and gimmicks. In Splatoon's single-player campaign (Hero Mode), you venture deep into the subterranea of Inkopolis in search of the city's stolen power source. You find yourself at the heart of Octo Valley, home to an exiled race of militant octopi: the Octarians. Here you must rely on your wit, your weapons, and your agility - and move swiftly and decisively into enemy territory!

Great matches with the indomitable SM239 and Walkman (often against them both, which basically means total party wipe), and I come back to a new OT.
Today was a good day.
Edit: gaf makes stealth jumping into the enemy base so much easier. Y'all play much faster, which means you're long gone by the time I land, and there's always someone trying to push deep into the foe's turf whom I can jump to.

No, there are overall more Japanese players at higher ranks but still plenty of terrible ones to drag your team down.
I tend to prefer one over the other depending on mood. I've been listening to a lot of local Swedish stuff lately. We suck at rock here, but are outstanding at pop. #TeamPop.

Marie chooses dogs, obviously it's the better choice
/s
I really think they are doing this to both the difficulty curve and to not split the userbase too much this early. Hopefully later on all modes become available in regular too.
