All hockey players (who want to) should get cell phone text messages whenever there's t-mode (non t-mode scummed) on the hockey server. It would be more difficult to get the bronco clue alert thing going. You'd have to define who's clue and who's not, or maybe have everyone make a list of players they like to play with and whenever n or more of those people are on a server, they get a text message. But then there's the difficulty of what it should trigger on. Logins? They change all the time. Character names? Some old clues (like arizzi) mostly play as guest. And then there's the cost. Who should be paying for a text message service? The text message service is easy to build, but there's not a single one out there that doesn't cost money. But still, it's a cool idea. --Niclas
