[UI] note to self option in team games

Post by HardAttack »

note to self option in team games
  • please consider employing Note to Self option in team games as well.

Specifics:
  • In team games, i leave some notes in game chat which appears to be immature and first look notes which of them i do not want my team mates to see and get confused. In other words, those first study notes are my first toughts of a game, and i would like them to stay hidden before i am certain about them.
  • A simple note to self option in team games, same with existing on in multiplayer games, whenever you feel to leave note to yourself to be overlooked/reconsidered again when neccesary.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Not always a player might have enough time to look at a game, but might want to look and see in a quick way. This point is the one in which player feels not ready to leave a comment to the team, but might want to leave some comments and thoughts for himself to reconsider later. Kinda reminder. At this point, player will not like to leave such thoughts to team not to confuse them unless he is certain on something, but also he needs a field to take his/her notes to look at those points s/he made not to forget and reconsider.
  • Some might think that putting everything(comments-thoughts), correct/false(mature/immature) in team chat might be better option. This is arguable, however let this be optional. Let anyone whoever wishes to leave everything, all draft toughts, first glance thoughts in team chat, but please consider giving an option of Note to Self to other group of players who would probably like of this idea like myself.

Cheers
:D

Ehh...

I can see where you're going with this, but whenever I play team games, I feel like that the team needs to play as one person. I'm the type that says EVERY single bit of information counts, especially when someone points out one little thing that you didn't even notice.

This seems a simple upgrade that a small percentage would appreciate and most would be able to easily ignore.

Hear! Hear!

My clan just about put up with me emptying my thoughts into the team chat, I find it pays dividends to speak your mind rather than keep silent.

Yeah but it could also be used to make notes for rating the player you are teamed with.

I definitely want this. I always insult Velvecarrots and he can always read it... Annoying much!

But forserious, great suggestion and easy to implement. It really only helps those who look at the game a lot and make a lot of comments, so all the best team players are going to use it I'd think. Well done, HA.

Note to self in team games

Post by paullo »

I like to write to myself in the games, using my native language. I feel I should be able to use this also in team games as well, team members don't need and don't like to read every detail of strategy I planned in the last round and that I would like to remember in the next one.


Specific Details:

At the site of " message to team" there should be "note to self" as well.

You're welcome to tell people how to play all you want, but you can't stop people from just opening up a notepad and making notes on a game. At least this way it'll be a lot more convenient for them.
