Diplomacy Chat

[Ace Rimmer]

Ok, so I just thought I'd throw this out there as a #2 change; a fourth channel for diplomatic talks in addition to Alliance, Public, and Private.

Public = Everyone including spectators can read
Alliance = Allies and spectators can read
Private = Only the person you're speaking to can see (no spectators)

Diplo Chat = Only the person you're speaking to can see + spectators.


#1 Obviously is metaserver lobby/chat function.

Ok, go back to doing whatever it is you were doing...

Edit: I wonder how effective a defcon community petition would be to implement a lobby chat?

I am agree But is not very useful i think

[Ace Rimmer]

Well, the reason to implement it would to benefit only spectators (either live or via recording).

There is a lot of diplomatic chatter, especially at the start, in diplomacy games, but the specs miss out on it.

Chat doesn't enter the sync values, so technically, dedcons could optionally transform PMs to regular chat for spectators, it would look something like that to them:
Ace Rimmer: (PM to (MOR)) let's defect together without showhing them our placement.

[Ace Rimmer]

That would alter Private chat as a whole and not add additional functionality, correct? (for the dedcon using the configuration anyway)

I suppose that might be just right for Diplomacy dedcons.

[bert_the_turtle]

Correct. It could be a per-user setting modifyable with chat commands and a serverwide default.
