Option to include a message with game invite
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:00 pmWhen inviting someone to a game, allow the user the option of including a brief message.
Specifics/Details:
When Player A invites someone to a game, the site automatically sends Player B a PM with the link to the game and Player A's name. I think we should also have the option of including a brief message.
Examples of useful messages one might write:
"You, me, world 2.1 against swords"
"invite a teammate and play against me and my pal"
"i've invited 5 of my cc friends to play trips against each other. have fun!"
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
It will allow you to give the players more info about the game you're inviting them to, particularly in reference to who else you've invited.
Ex. Let's say you have a regular doubles partner. We'll call him PoshyToy. PT invites you to a game, which you assume is another doubles game, since that's what you usually play together. Instead you realize you're on the opposite team as him, paired up with a less than great player, while PT is playing with the best player on the site for that map.
If my suggestion is implemented, it would give PoshyToy the chance to explain to his stunning and really fantastic doubles partner than she will instead be playing against him and who she will be paired up with.
