Reading the lobby's old messages
When you join the game and see that there is a lot of players already in the lobby, probably they wrote a lot of things before you join them. With some schemes, the hoster need to write the same message (for exemple descritions or rules of the scheme) for each new player in the lobby. It would be nice to see all the messages written in the lobby before you join the host. They could also receive a different color.

Custom host lobby message
What would be pretty awesome I think though not a huge endeavor to implement is the ability for a host to display a custom message in the hosting lobby, something that could be 'Welcome to my shopper game, rules are ABL CBA AFR' or an explanation of a not so regularly played scheme, or even an away message like 'the host is gone taking a wee while players join up'. Here's the way I'd implement it: Have the ability to save it in the scheme file, while being able to override the saved message with a lobby command like /msg…

The problem with big map transfers
As far as I know, the way the system works for transfering maps between the host and it's clients is simple:
- The host uploads the map to a number of clients until they've successfully downloaded that map.
But if you have a really big map, say 1.5-3.0 megs, and 4 clients, that equals to as much as 12MB of data the host needs to send altogether.
Maybe a possible solution would be to create some sort of a simple p2p system for the map transfers?
For example, the host starts sending the map to the first client. As the client…

Add democratic player kicking for online games
Like in starcraft where a majority of people have to vote to boot a lagger, if all players type "/kick username" (or the player's #, like with wormkit's kicking feature) into the chatbox then that player is dropped. It would be harder to abuse this than when only the host has the kicking authority. This way even one person could refuse to kick, which would prevent the kicking of someone who doesn't really deserve it (ie: they're slightly noobish).

Add more Spectator slots for hosted games
Extra slots should be configurable by the host. This would allow more than (7 - # of Teams) people to be in a game that, for some reason, many people would like to spectate it live (either to look or chat). Examples: popular tournament finals, clan matches with lots of members present from the duelling clans, playoff matches for leagues, matches between clan members with many members online, etc.

Enhance team-play
Team members should be able to let Spectators participate in team-chat while in a game. Could a chat command do this? So it can be toggled in-game.
Also, a player should be able to let Spectators see their current weapons panel when it's their turn.7 votes
