Hi gang! I had a wonderful evening, it's Friday evening and one where I wasn't exhausted from work which means.. a relaxed evening of EMC and yah.. enjoying the weekend. (disclaimer: stuff written up from mind, which isn't too clear at the moment) So this evening I told a (sort off) stranger that I'd repair his gold armor ("lol, I don't have gold armor, wc shell?"), I accidentally told someone else that I could fix his problem of not knowing what to build (while my "I can fix that!" in town chat was meant for a player who didn't have enough sandstone), I also think (not even sure anymore, lol) that I told another random stranger (poor new player) that I'd keep their shineys if they would dare to eggify my house (but I did explain my mistake!) and yah... I blame someone else for all this obviously Nah, it is fun, it can be a little awkward but in the state I am right now I might even downvote my own suggestion because in all honesty: as awkward as some moments were, they were a heck of fun What my suggestion is? Get /chat (the command without arguments) to tell our active chat channel instead of showing the help page. We can get that help by using: /help chat anyway. Small explanation: If you do /chat r (shortcut: /ch r) or /ch s ("Shell Chat" (sorry!)) or any of those commands you're basically selecting a new default chat channel. Meaning so much as: everything you type goes into that channel. This is why I usually do /ch r the very moment some of my friends show up so that the damage will be at least somewhat containable But the trick here is sometimes knowing what that active chat channel actually is. And yes: I'm well aware: when in doubt you can always use /ch r before chatting. So instead of checking which chat channel you're in you'd simply set it before chatting. Even so... I can't help think that this could be useful for some weird kind of people like myself
I don't see why not. +1 However, /c who already shows the active channel (with people who can hear, of course), and simply doing @(channel) (message) will send a one-time message to that channel, something I use quite often. That *might* be a small workaround, but I dunno...
