Could we please stop this particular moot discussion?

=== FROM THE F****** FAQ, FOR F***'S SAKE: ===

Q: "The messaging system sucks. Can I use IRC/IM/etc to talk to other
people?"

A:    Sure you can, we couldn't stop you anyways. The only thing you have
to remember is that any and all means of communication outside the game
are unofficial. That means if, for example, you ban someone for not
obeying an order that was given on IRC, your ban will be reversed by a
GM if the banned person complains.
    In short: You can discuss strategy with your friends on IRC, but the
resulting orders should be given in-game.
    And yes, we know the message system isn't so good, we are working on
a better one.
