I never message with anyone when I play BZFlag. I know it's good for teamwork, but I just don't really like messaging with anyone. Some people get frusterated with me, because I never say anything. So, do you message with others?

Of course, its essential to cooperate!

yeah, it is very important, especially in team/league play

Also you can just chat with people. Or gang up on someone

i do it all the time. Its very very important.

But i just talk to my bro, because he is on our other computer, right beside me. So teamwork is well melded

I always do team messages, telling normal teamwork junk, like where some flags are, who has what, where our flag is, if ours is in danger, etc... As for general everyone messages, I just use that for casual chat.

yes,...depending on how many people are after me.....

Not too often, I type too slow, and end up dead.

once again, this is where my mindreading skills come in handy

this is where it is handy to have your brother as a teammate, and right next to you.

I try to stir up a little conversation every now and then. It's fun to chat with some of the regulars on the server.

I also issue commands a lot. Sometimes I get bossy, though

Aye. We just got our second computer and I suspect this will happen a lot to me.

I normally message a lot - I find it slightly eerie when no one else talks. And considering that you're asking this on a message board, I think the majority of the people who respond will be more verbal.

I say a bunch with team stuff, sometimes just chit-chat, and there's also to say sorry if I accidently kill a team mate.
