Wondering if Bravetree has considered any of this??

Ya refresh madness...thats when im about to kill my computer trying to get into a scrum game for an hour of clicking refresh and scroling. Just a thought a timer visible from the "Lobby" sure would be a huge improvement to the game since most people dont leave in the middle of games. Would also be cool to be able to chat in the lobby area to other people, I bet there is 8 other players doing the same thing at the same time..Refresh Madness. Lobby chat, a MUST HAVE.... 3 scrum games instead of 1.Would also be cool to be able to minmize the window to just a chat box (I dont know how any of this would effects bandwidth or any other issues, but I have made many new friends while kicking there ass in scrum sure would be fun to get a game "Oranized" and chat before we joined!!!)

Maybe we can get -z- or someone to write up a script if possible, Im sure bravetree is busy working on new games now that I cant wait to see. Really would be the biggest improvement to the game and probably easy enough to impliment. The gamesplay is already perfect.FoulPlay

I saw one in the developers section of Garage Games that looked cool. It worked for in and out of game chat.

Very true about chatting during games. I don't mind some, and I've gotten caught up in some major chat a couple times, but a lobbychat area would fix all of that. Too bad iChat (or whatever people might use) won't float over the ThinkTanks screen... Can ThinkTanks switch from full to window mode? Still, running another chat agent when I just want to chat with TT players is more workaround than feature. :)

Yes TT will toggle between full screen and window mode. On a mac just press apple-shift. would be cool if you could use ichat in audio mode during team games. I guess it would just be a bandwidth issue.Az

1. Get iTunes.
2. Rip tons of your CDs to 128kbps AAC files (they sound pretty good and are very small compared to other formats)
3. If you want to randomize your playback, click the little button in the lower left to do so. then choose a song to start with
4. Click the play button. iTunes will run through your entire library without you needing to come back and choose unless you want to.
5. Start ThinkTanks.
6. Go to Options and turn the MUSIC volume all the way to zero.
7. Play and enjoy your music.
I do this in Mac OS X. You may be able to do it in WinXP if you use that OS. Also, you can likely use other players...I just love iTunes.

"Media Player! Play track one!" And voila, track one.
(You need plus! for XP though)
You can say tracks by name too, and volume, visulizations, ect....

HaHa! On Windows Media Player, if you have a mic, you can say:"Media Player! Play track one!" And voila, track one.
