you can always try to use morse code by using friendlies (take it, but with a grain of salt)
a chatboxs going to be awesome. ask other managers to play friendlies, negotiate deals, and of course accepting candy from strangers, what better way to socialize with other managers than a chatbox. as with other chat suggestions, there can always be some primitive profanity filter, add/block people, PMs and other basic chatbox options thingimajiggies
