i really like google, and the new talk. even though it hasn't many
features yet, it's well designed and shows quiality. i realize that it's still beta and lots of stuff will be added in.


there is one feature that i think would be fun to add in.
/random
typing that wold print a random number 1-100 or you can supply arguments to get another range of numbers. this of course is just like the /random in the world of warcraft game. the ideea came as i was in a
voiceconferance on yahoo messanger talknig with my friends what party we should go to. we kinda wanted to random it between 2 parties, so having a /random embedded in the messanger would have been awsome.


can you please please pelase put that in the next version Very Happy ?


i know we would use it to pick stuff like what club we're going to tonight or what summer resort.. cuz we dont care all that much which one gets picked, and otherwise we would argue endlessly.. maybe other could find it usefull two and i don't think it's to hard to implement. (just make it server side so that people can't hack their dice).

maybe there is at least one other person who thinks that /random would be good for anything Smile... let's see.

Currently there is no method of creating a random number since there is always a patern.

But for the sake of this poll. No, I wouldn't be interested.

well yeah, it would be pseudo-random, but that's still good enough. noone can acutaly predict the result of the roll.
