See for me I would like to try a happy medium. Give us open chat during the prep time so we can make a quick plan. After that quick chat makes more sense. Back in the day people would write entire novellas mid match like we have time to read it. That is where quick chat can excel! OP is 100% correct that we need more variety and Reiny boy is correct that we need the count downs and such back. and give us chat bubbles so we don't need to look away from the action. I like everything here.
