Chat in TT

Now that I am done whining about 1.1 I was thinking
about the request for a pre game or lobby chat.
What about making a Chat map where you could just drop
in, no shooting and talk. Maybe even put the text in
little cartoon ballons over the tanks so you know who's
talking (and who to ignore). Maybe when a game starts
it starts in a no shoot mode where we can chat and then
when the majority say they are ready(click a button,
drive to a certain place, jump off the edge?) the game
would kill us all and drop us in at random (like now
when you join now). I din't write the game but this approach
would seem to make use of what's already there and so
be easier to impliment.

Just my two shots

Bill,

Check out this link.. one of the planned additions is a post game chat.. which would be good to discuss what game to play next or details of the just finished game.

An indicator of who is chatting is also mentioned..
