Awasp:
Or maybe you could unlock global chat once you build a radio. And also at radio towers but would only be one way unless someone else has a radio too.

ZSNO:
For Lego's day/night lighting idea, its impossible, unless you want to change maps every 10 minutes, trust me, I triedish. Although you can make a sun rise and set, you cant update lighting within a map unless you have map editor open, and use relight. (IDK if you can somehow do it with scripts though...)
@bithead, I already made the map if you didnt see...

Ok thought so.

As for global and local chats: Maybe... you always have a portable radio in your inventory that lets you /whis, if you drop it you can't. If you make a "radio tower" brick, you can use global chat, but only other people with radio bricks will receive it. Radio bricks should be really expensive.

Btw guys, I'm going on vacation til Mondayish, sooo... you guys do what you can.

Thats possible
Grim used to host a server where the admins had a radio and could talk to each other, and the clients would try to break in and steal it

imo

What does everyone else think?

I mean, if you are not firing at them then you are 'allied' with them. More fast-paced and 'survival', not 'build the awesome overpowered clan of people in an alliance' who go and dominate everybody.

Ideas for the Radio:
- Radio Tower bricks can only be placed within a certain radius (quite large) of other existing ones.
- They can be destroyed by being shot at several times or being hammered by the owner. Bricks that are disconnected from the main spawn point or some central area are coloured grey until re-connected.
- Using Team Chat will give players a randomly generated 'Radio Number' between 0000 and 9999.
- This can be adjusted with slash commands or the Brick placement keys without a temp brick. (Left/Right = +/-1, Forwards/Back = +/-10, Up/Down = +/-100)
- Players connected to you through tower bricks, and within 20 IDs of yours can hear messages in Team Chat. If you are not exactly on the number, it recieves static (parts blanked out as well as the last two digits of the ID recieved)
- If you are physically near another player using the Radio/Team Chat, you can see their radio ID for listening in on their conversations/espionage.
- Perhaps being outside a certain number of tower bricks also causes degradation in the signal/messages. (e.g. if you are ten kilometres away you will receive less clearly than a few metres away)

I think the system (alliances + Radio) should encourage people to band together in small groups, either for their own gain or working with others. Alliances should change quickly (hence no GUIs) and be temporary, friendly fire and the like will always be 'on'.
