To be clear, I'd never suggest moving gameplay to a chat client. Discord did not exist 27 years ago, and it's not that likely to exist in 27 years. Agora needs something with the continuity of email. This would only be discussion in the same way the IRC is/was (does anyone still use it?). -- nch Prime Minister, Webmastor, NAX Exchange Manager
