  is it REALLY that hard for your programmers to add
  a gmail like chat/IM system to the friend's list?
  so people can get together and set up rounds
  WITHOUT installing unnecessary 3rd party crap?

  so many updates and so little progress in features, why?

  please make it happen, we want to COMMUNICATE with each other in real time.

  thank you.

  That was well spotted...LOL

  I like the way he's changed where he lives after your comment.  I think I might move to Hawaii for the next hour.  This should be banned  (although a sly way to get to play tournaments you are not allowed to play in)

  Gmaster you can set up rounds with people on your friends list without any 3rd party software, whats the big deal.  As long as people are not hidden you can invite any one.

  I think he talking about something like what we used to use with Links-ICQ. You could message another player directly and it was extremely convenient to arrange matches, group contacts and there was no delay or a need to have another window open just to message.

  I agree that we really need a way to chat with friends without being in a game. As it is now we have to use a third party chat to talk about where and what kind of game we want to play before we start.

    And also as I have said before I would like to see message notifications while playing  without having to switch back and forth between screens. Just add a button at the top along with the Menu, Friends, invitations.

  i can't imagine anything more convenient than Skyping before & while playing .. 

  our CC members PM each other, then hook up on Skype & decide where to go / what to do from there ..

  we don't use video streaming of course .. but audio doesn't affect bandwidth or gameplay .. a great way to get full advantage of the social aspect of the game .. chatting before, during & after the game .. we often laugh so much that the game goes to hell, but u can't beat the the type of medium in terms of live comm & interaction .. loads of fun

  with all due respect, where I live is no one's damn business.
  flags and nationalities don't mean much to me anyway.
  I change flags like I change avatars, for looks only,
  and the fact that you suggest I'd change it because of
  some random nobody is laughable to me.

  and for more serious issues:
  when dealing with multiple players,
  e1 needs to communicate with each other,
  this site doesn't give you that option,
  even though many asked for it for a long time.

  Bloody hell mate, you REALLY need to relax.

  Guess you could try the marmalade thing in the comfort of your own home / cell / asylum...or wherever you reside...but its not as liberating.  (by the way, I am not looking for you to tell me where you reside. I honestly couldn't care less, and you seem a little sensitive about that anyway).

  Instead you may just want to sit back for a moment, have a read of back of your words, take a couple of deep breaths and CHILL before you pop a blood vessel.
