I'd like to be able to make at least some basic communication with players during the game creation screen. This is especially important when making 5 or 6 player games. When you join a game, you have no way of knowing if the game creator forgot about the game and disappeared. You have like 10 seconds to start the game once the game has fully filled up or someone is going to think you're gone and leave, which will in turn cause every other player to vacate immediately. And that's not good when there's like a 5 second delay between starting the game and everyone finding out that the game has started as well as when someone exits that it takes like 5 seconds to know they actually left.
What I'd like to see is at least pre-defined chats like for example:
"Is everyone ready?" "Should I start the game?" "Can we continue waiting for more players?"
"Just letting you know I'm here!"
And then of course corresponding potential responses to the questions. It'd be nice if we could just type freely whatever we want but you know, family friendly rules. Perhaps before the game starts we're less likely to experience unpleasant chatter? :)
