If this was discussed before I am sorry, but I really couldn't search this huge huge forum for it.

An idea went to my mind: what would you think of the option to write anonymous messages in your games? Parallel and independent to your regular comments of course.
To make clear what I mean: you write a message as regular, maybe to one specific country or maybe in the public chat, but your message won't be in your countries colour, and there wouldn't be written down "your country" in front of the text when the others read it. It would be black text like when mods post messages.

I think this might introduce more options of conversation. It would turn some discussion more fact-based and not sympathy-based. I think it would lead to more draws and turn solos harder as maybe some people would happyly react to the "fact" that someone is about to win rather than the "feeling" of one specific non-soloing country that someone else might be about to win...

Or just imagine the following: you look at the map and see the threat of an alliance and want to talk about it. But if the others know who you are (or more so which country you are) they will not think about the alliance you mentioned, but only about "what the hell is he planning and why is he telling me those weird things?". R talking about an E-F alliance won't have any impact on G usually. With anonymous messages G would receive the same information, but without knowledge of who wrote the note. Of course skilled players will still know who the author was (or at least have a good guess on it). G would have to think more about the real situation on the board.

Would you think this worth for something? Feel free to say "no, this is bullshit" of you feel the needs to ;-)
