Yeah, I've tried to work out system like that (I was thinking you
could have a tavern which you can choose to be in or not be in, and
most of the messages only go to those in the tavern) but I can't think
of a way that would really work. A lot of people want to get all the
messages, it's part of the fun of a tournament, so having 2 message
groups would annoy people that want to be in both. Letting people join
both would result in those people forwarding messages between the two
groups, so you end up with everyone getting all the messages whether
they want to or not.

Anyway, that's all solving the wrong problem. Even people that want to
get all the messages shouldn't have to wait 2 minutes for them to
download just to double check what the last message they received
said.
