I know there's a million suggestions but i'll throw this one in because it'd be handy too.

It would be handy if there was a way to send a message just to your team mates(s) in the chat window. It would be an easy way to co-ordinate team games without messing around with PMing or instant messaging etc...

i think this has been suggested before but im not sure

wait for someone to confirm that

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2006 2:07 pm**

Yea, it's possible.

I didn't see it mentioned on the main list as to do or rejected though:

proabably mentioned so long ago it did not get included in the suggestion box

This idea about chat enhancement is not on the list, so feel free to continue to discuss it all.

If this could be readily done, either in some fashion of /whisper"Kevinc" -message here- or something else, that would be quite helpful.

But it might be something that won't get worked on until lack goes full force with his AJAX update. We'll have to see.

I'm more of a singles person, but that would be a really great feature for team games, and so what if it works in standard or terminator games?

The rules don't say that players who have an alliance must tell the others what they are going to do or how they're going to divide their gains or for how many rounds their NAP will last. Only the fact that they have an alliance must be known to the others.

i dont like this idea, i believe in having a well oranized team together, so you get a team you all get the same messanger and you work as a team, this "team-chat" will allow everyone to team chat, when they shouldent be lazy and get a messanger, i belive this would further this site in terms of slowness and its a stupid idea, but this is just my opinion

I think this would help un-organized teams become more organized and level the playing field a bit.

I guess it could be implemented with a check-box labeled "show this message to teammates only" or something like that.

Andy please file under "To-do" :wink:

REasons like that are why I used to be on Xi and am against alliances.

That's exactly my thinking. It's almost impossible to beat a team organised with messenger. THis might level that out a bit. I'm always wary of playing team games, but they're great fun with a bit of communication.

That sounds like a good way to do it!

Thanks!

I think its a good idea. It would encourage communications between team mates, and if the game is going at a decent pace you would not have to open another window to talk to you partner (not that I have this problem, I just look over my shoulder and yell at my wife when its her turn) and this way I wouldn't even have to talk to her.

There are some voice chat downloads out there.I use Team Speak. Some of us used it for our team games before the Zone stopped supporting Risk. It really made the games faster.

done!

play a team game and check it out.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2006 9:54 pm**

Awesome speed, Lack! This'll really help team communication

Posted: **Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:02 pm**

levels out the playing field a little bit as well, very cool

Posted: **Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:39 pm**
