Cross Country Private Messaging - Redux

[Dadtallica]

I feel like this might be an easy slam dunk for AI and hopefully agreeable to many.

I would like to jab to some people I am friendly with in here that I don’t get to regularly interact with other than bullets in the air, amongst the Bishop and Knight side, but I don’t ever change from the Rooks… is what it is, I am who I am.

I know this is probably available in voice, but that’s not what I’m looking for

Could we maybe make it an accepted communication like joining somebody in a bomber? I know there might be a little bit of a slippery though, but if you accept the message…

Just a thought.

all you need to do is find an acceptable channel in the 2xx range for you and your... jab buddies (jabronis?) and you're good to go?

Txt or voice? Did I not know this was available?

Both, only problem is you have to have the other party/parties join the same channel. Just like 200. Everyone on 200 has "joined" that channel to talk across countries. If you squelch the "idiots" 200 isn't bad and can be a lot of fun. You can also setup a ".script" command you can run to squelch the "known idiots" so you don't have to squelch all 15? or so

wow... "known idiots" sounds kind of like a personal attack that generates a .rpt in the MA.    double standards, amirite?

I do not tune to 200 ever.

Having to know and be on the same channel kind of defeats the purpose.

with over 150 unused (probably) 200 range channels to choose from...   yeah, the risk is that others may find or join that channel, but... the option you seek exists. And yeah, both text and vox.

The only other common cross-country channel I see is 223 which we use in MNM and TNT. I'm sure some skwads have their channel, but not sure their numerical ranges - do channels go beyond 200? Are there usable country only channels between 7 and 199?

Can you talk across country if you are on the same squad  but different countries?

I believe you can talk, and text on squad across countries, but it's been so long since I've needed to I can't say for sure.

I believe you can, and you might be able to talk across arenas to squadies.

Been a while since I tried, I think you can text to squad and it will go to other arenas, I don't think vox works though.

TBH I miss cross country PMs, but far too many would use it for evil instead of awesome.

That’s why I thought we could add the accept/ignore dialogue box. Could also add never allowing it as a setting relatively easily most likely.

Wouldn't be bad.  I'd suggest having it default to "never allow", changeable through settings, maybe add a . command to allow the last PM.  It can severely mess with one's chi to have a random dialogue appear in the middle of a dogfight.

For sure it can be. Perhaps it could be waiting upon your next tower visit.
