Pidgin/XMPP

[Dan]

Has there ever been discussion about using an XMPP server for Armageddon?

API side could be handled by staff to add/remove people from groups/clans.

It would facilitate clan leaders the ability to ping out notifications of important updates for RPTs. Or is too easily abusable/too much OOC contact? I think it might work well if ping rights are handed to clan leaders.

Example situation: Byn Sergeant gets two hour notice escort mission. Byn leader pings for anyone able to be active in two hours for mission. PCs can log in and be part of the mission/short notice RPT.

Example situation #2: Kadian overseer decides that everyone will go logging. Overseer pings Kadian group to be online in an hour if available. In an hour, Overseer organizes everyone who logged in to go logging. Preventing persons A and B from being left behind and bored during long excursion.


Thoughts?
