In my defense, I am on sporadically and for brief periods of time, at least compared to the "old days", but the times that I do come on (late pm PST), the server is dying down and there are even fewer mumblers on. Oftentimes I'll join in on one side that has 1 or 2 afk mumblers and the other side will have 9 or 10. I'll join the 9 or 10 guys because I know that the server is about to die and it's really academic.

Besides that, I like a lot of the guys that use mumble and can usually count on it coming in useful, and being fun.

Slightly tangential thread arc:

My most memorable mumble moment (say that five times fast) was when lots of folks were using mumble, but they were all on the other team and I was on the other. Actually, everybody was rather mixed. It was Quai and a US squad had barricaded themselves in the mine with tank traps and razor wire. They had dug themselves in very well and they just kept all shovels on the trap making our incendiaries useless.

I was leading a squad in which one person was using mumble, and there were one or two smurfs using it as well. I came up with the brilliant idea to throw incendiaries on the tank trap and then I would C4 it as soon as it fell to the deployed, but not dug position. I shouted out this master plan in mumble for the two or three other guys to hear and instead the whole US squad inside the mine thanked me profusely and laughed at me.

I replied with a few choice words, but I enjoyed the encounter immensely.
