man, you guys are so anti-social! no, i am not chatting to my opponents to distract them into making bad moves, and i do not believe they are doing that to me - we're being FRIENDLY. Just because you're trying to decapitate somebody on the board doesn't mean you can't make friends...
And Onceupon, you are like some dreadful lawyer in a courtroom drama TV special. All i "admitted" with this comment
| whereas sending messages with your moves in a game is more like a casual chat over the board - a way to get friendly with someone to the point that you would exchange private messages or emails outside of a game. |
was that IF THERE WAS NO LIMIT on the length of in-game messages they would serve that function - see my original comment.
Sure it's easy to send a PM, what i'm asking is is there a reason there's a limit on in-game chat, and if not, why not ditch the limit to make it easier for the people that aren't jerks to make friends with the other people that aren't jerks..?

But I don't think we would want game messages to serve the function of PMs. If we had only the former option, then we'd have to start a game with a member just in order to contact him.
Messaging would be perfectly adequate if one particular problem was solved. And that is reliable notification of new PMs received. At the moment, the star next to My Messages remains until one's browser is restarted.

Who is suggesting doing away with PMs?

I was making the point that between game messages and private messages, all our one-to-one communication needs are met. This is something about which you seem uncertain.

(sigh). You made no such point with your previous statement. You didn't have an argument against what i was saying but for some reason that i guess only you can truly know needed to disagree with me anyway, so you built a straw man in order to knock it down. Nobody ever suggested doing away with PMs, but you created a fantasy scenario where people would only be able to communicate on this site in-game in order to try and invalidate my opinion. Nobody is advocating that, nobody wants that.
I am certain that all YOUR communication needs are met (which begs the question why do you continue posting on this thread?). I, however, have a request, or actually, a question, which i will repeat in the hope this thread does not deteriorate any further:
is there a reason there's a limit on in-game chat, and if not, why not ditch the limit to make it easier for the people that aren't jerks to make friends with the other people that aren't jerks..?
