Great Implementation of my favorite board game

Would it be possible to implement chat between players of the same group?
Either via a 'Message to Players on the same team' or a more limited communication via Signal Flags, e.g. Squadron to wear in succession or Frigates to Attack the enemy van


It would be a nice addition. It would also of course mean that a ship would have to be designated as Flagship to give orders. I can just imagine a signal: Form line of battle astern of the Flagship and everyone ignores the order or doesn't know which ship is the Flagship. .

In the meanwhile, we can do something about it ourselves.


Maybe we should form Fleets and then play as a team. We can have a predetermined list of signals that would accurately simulate signal flags.
e.g. The signal would read: Signal from Flag to Squadron Red, Square, Triangle.
The Captain would consult his 'signals book' and find that to mean: Tack in succession
The opposition, not having the same signal's book, would not know what was happening.

Just an idea to add some fun.



Hey Lost! How soon you forget! Special rules are not necessary. Our email addresses are available, and mine to you have coordinated our actions, and have really crippled our opponents in our current game. The guys running this site have better things to do, and we already have the means of intercommunication. So let's keep kicking their ass!


My opinion is that personal email address should not be used UNLESS approved at the beginning of the game. A signal on the field, maybe a square, triangle or so on, is much better and is more realistic... you see, your enemy see it.




This is ludicrous. This is a freakin' GAME! Some folks don't provide their email address anyway. How do you describe your signals to incognito teammates? Tornade says emailing guys on your team is cheating. It's foolish NOT to!

I'll continue cheating, thank you.

One of the beauties of WS&IM is how close to impossible it is to cheat. Quit your bitchin'! My email address is available anytime someone is on my side, or even if you're not.
