Paging players

[LPhillips]

The Real Time Activity window gives me a wonderful idea: can we have the ability to page players who are online? I often would like to post asking someone to play a speed match, since they're online. I have still never played one. This may need some control settings, like allowing the player to choose who he wants to receive pages from (friends only, everyone, no one, etc.)

I've been thinking about this too. I might make the main chat screen (since it lists all who are online) a bit more advanced in next version so you can open a chat with anyone there and they will get notified in real time wherever they are on the site so you can get speed games going. One point on the todo for next version (version after 0.8) is to get simultaneous turns going which will change speed games. We are also going to change so instead of saying the game is speed mode for 2 hours we will change it so that you can turn the speed mode of when you need to in the game. That way you don't have to know that you can sit for x hours before you start to play.
