    IDEA : Chat in showdown

    Hello

    I would like to propose the idea of adding a chat directly in a showdown with our opponent

    Rest assured that they will make an update to address ping-ponging somehow. So, I couldn't see them putting a chatbox that would make it even easier.

    im interested what they could possibly do. i to think they will do something about it and the ease of getting tickets but im not sure how they could really hurt ping pong too much. they might not even see it as that big a problem since its mainly just people here doing it. ive never had a random attempt it with me.

    I would like to see chat in the showdown where you can text your opponent, not broadcasting to everyone.
    Hopefully not so much trash talk!

    Nasty comments from opponents.... hey, messaging is in Word For Friends, and some people take that pretty seriously. Never had problems there, and its never that hard to screenshot and report abuse even if they did. I just cant see us being FORCED to look at it; it would almost certainly be something you could optionally look at, and woud go away once the match is over.

    Honest, it would be semi-useful just to talk to friends you are playing with; it has zero implications for pingpong (pong doesnt NEED communication, its just nice when we have it).

    I highly doubt they can do much either, except maybe limit the chips/pot. But if they do, they do. No big deal.

    Honestly, I seriously doubt it concerns RL much since its not hurting anyone, they dont have a defined rule-book or anything, and their primary motivation is that we play often, spend money along the way, and have fun. They havent posted anything either. But we'll find out eventually.

    they will care if they think its hurting there sales on coin packs.

    i dont think they should care about the chips because the things you can use them on are priced exorbitantly that even with people ponging its unlikely they are spent on anything other than tracks.

    The only reason why I'd like it to be implemented is to watch people rage.
