In the Ventrilo scenario you could hear, but not be heard by the parent room. This is the only way Eve online fleets with hundreds of participants could be coordinated for insurance. Your example works for a 1-on-1 but not for hierarchical communication layers.

Interesting, the Eve example. Are the higher-in-command in the root/parent rooms and then it's hierarchial down the line? Or can you just listen in on certain rooms as well as whatever you are talking about on?

Never got big into Ventrilo back in the day.
