What about having a view system instead of actual rooms. So that each player can see their own view of the chat room. Players could tag themselves with properties such as languages, favorite race, preferred number of players in a game, preferred type of play (team, everyone for themselves) and also have a way to describe filters based on tags of the people you wanted to see. There could be some some sort of way to use alternate filters if the primary filter returned too many hits (possibly at random). And you could also have a friends list of people to always show. > > Thats exactly the situation I want to avoid, because > > it doesn't make the game better, it just adds more parochialism.

Because this seems kind of negative about BR players, I would like to note that one night I ran accross some people speaking Portuegese (I mistakenly thought they were speaking Spanish, which I don't speak either, but know a few words) and they were polite to me. _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
