[Suggestion] Skype
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:05 pm
Hi guys,
sometimes when I feel like playing, a game is already going on and none is going, but either way I go afk. Mostly playing some chess games to kill a few minutes and check back again.
I also see other people signing and then taking minutes to finally tab back in and check whether the game finally filled or so, while the others are waiting kinda impatiently.
So my suggestion is to have a skype group-convo (text). For me e.g. I see those notifications at skype, when I play chess and then know I can just resign the game and come back to WC3. Others might be doing whatever. I don't mean this to be mandatory though.
If people feel like talking, it might even lead to people creating 2 skype-calls, one for each team. This can also help some newer players adjust to LIHL. Hell, it would even help me if I have a question, as I am not the most knowledgable person around. I usually just wing it somehow and it works quite ok.
So even if ~50% decide to join that group-convo, most-likely one of them will be online to notify the afk via Skype. I don't like the ENT Chat channel for that, because you can only be in one channel, which sucks. At Skype you can also change your setting to "Busy" and not get disturbed by all the chat-notifications if you are online at Skype, but don't feel like playing.
------------------
If something like that already exists, then tell me whom I need to PM my skype-name to join the chat.
