Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible but i think there should be a mail or buddy list in bzflag. I thought of this the other day when i was trying to go to a server with my friend but then we sort of lost each other. If we had a buddy list we could remember our friend's names and be able to message them. Or even know if one of our friends were online or not. Anyways just a thought feel free to post comments good or bad. Thanks for reading.

I think there may be a long term plan to bring in some kind of global messaging system. I know l4m3r worked on something like that for his GSoC. Don't know if he ever got anywhere with it...?

Sure, a built-in buddy list would be nice.

Something to z[h]eros comment:
If you want to use the buddy list, you have to login with your global login before you can add buddies at
http://bzstats.strayer.de/mystats/buddies/. The reason why you have to do this is that I don't see an advantage in storing these data in cookies.
Thx for the advertisement z[h]ero.. ;)

Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps you could view their server, their score, and if they're on or off.
