This has probably been discussed before... maybe its in the new version, havn't had too much time to check it out.

But I was thinking if there could be like a player search _IN_ the bzflag game where you can type a callsign and it will find them tell you if that callsign is on and what server s/he is playing at. Just thinking that would be a cool feature instead of having to open up a web browser and go through the stats stuff.

Yea, It'd be cool. Kindof like "BZFriends"

hmm.. Then we could have a chatting client that would display their stats and would allow us to privmsg them during their gameplay

this could also be used to hunt someone down
could get nasty if there is a wolfpack after you...

hehe, your funny. well sometimes you could mask yourself. or mask yourself from the public but open to some "groups" like you can make groups that contain globally identified usernames like "Team Members" and "Friends" or something.

or maybe there could be a "Disable from search" or something option...

there are already ways to find a player you are looking for. check out zeebrothers.net and fortix.bzflag.org, a couple nice sites if you are looking for a specific player. if thats what you guys are talking about...
