Text Orders

[Donkie]

This is an alternative to the warden shouting out orders in voicechat:

Warden gets a text input in some way, here he can pick from a pre-defined list of orders, or type in a custom one. When submitted, a hint will pop up to all players and at the top of the screen the order will be displayed.

Pros:

• You don't have to constantly be awake on what's going on, previously if you miss a second of game you can totally miss what the order was and be shot because you didn't follow it
• It doesn't depend as much on the Warden's speaking ability, even the squeaky kids can be wardens!
• Easier to remember

Cons:

• Might take a few seconds longer for warden to give new orders

I also had the thought of a predefined set of orders while I was spectating a Jailbreak game last night. The warden was constantly calling out 'Last reaction - jump, last reaction - crouch, etc.' He would then kill the prisoner that was last to react.

In that moment I wondered 'what stops this from being automated?' If we had a predefined list of these orders it would streamline the process, and potentially allow us to automatically decipher who was the 'last reactor,' which would eliminate human error.

Automated is perhaps too far imo, but yes a list of orders is great
