HOSTING A GAME
When you host, you have full control of the game configuration, including game
style, weapons, everything. You can chat to the other teams and work out how you
want to play, handicap players or form alliances.
You create the game exactly like you would in a normal game but have additional
powers to expel players and set extra options governing how the game will be
played over the network.
Being a game host has a number of extra responsibilities and being a warm and
hospitable host is a key factor in successfully hosting games, particularly over
the Internet.
When you are ready you can start the game by pressing PLAY!
CHAT
During pre-game set-up, you can send messages to the rest of the players.
COMMANDS
There are a number of commands you can use to liven up the chatter :
Private Message
Simply highlight the player you wish to send a message to and send as usual.
This could be a group of players, click the group icon to make all messages
public again.
You will continue to receive public messages whilst chatting privately.
Action

the action.
