• Add the speed game chat functionality, ie. the auto-refreshing chat, to casual games.

• The chat refreshes automatically every couple of seconds in speed games. I'd like this same thing on casual games.

• On team games, communication with your teammate(s) is often paramount. This is really difficult via the game chat though, since you have to click refresh map all the time to check if your teammate(s) have posted anything new in the chat. It is especially annoying if you're in a critical spot which requires long strategy discussions between moves.
• This suggestion would make all that better.
• If this suggestion is not implemented, puppies will cry. Don't make puppies cry.

• Automatically refresh game chat in all games.

• Something like this already happens in speed games. Make it happen for all games.
• Maybe every 20 seconds? 15 seconds?

• This will allow for better in game communication in team games.
• Allow for better in-game diplomacy for singles games.
• Possibly reduce secret diplomacy because people will be aware of chatting in games instead of walls/PMs.
• Help abate the need for the chatglove addon.

• Allow Gamechat to be Moved
• Provide Gamechat Notifications
• Game Chat Writing Notification
• Move the chat box up under the map with a refresh button. - Most similar to this.
• refresh button also at gamechat! - Most similar to this.
• Game chat information
• improving game chat. - This is something like chat filter.
• Which add-ons would you like to see built in first?

I use chatglove which does this already and I do not notice any lag from it.
