Bandwidth and we don't really have a video for that. We'd need someone who's good with flash.

It might. But it would be more hassle, and more to have bugs in. Also, that's kind of the point of games like Faf. To be text based. If you start adding in video, then pretty soon you might have nothing but a online video game, just like the multitudes of other video and computer games that have internet capabuilities.(sp?)

There is a solution though. Since FaF is fully theme-able, we could have a text-based theme, an XML theme, and a multimedia-ish theme. We could even have a theme that's only meant for machines to communicate with, like a desktop program or ssh client. It's possible to divide it up into hi-bandwidth and lo-bandwidth themes. So, Slasher, I suggest if you want animations, start making them or asking your friends to make them, and if they're good, we'll put it into a new theme.

Perosnaly, I think this sounds like a great idea if you put in different themes, some with video/pictures, some without.
