Current Situation: All players view the same page, and except for a small icon nothing indicates the team you play for.

Suggestion:
If you are on the green Team:


If you are on the blue Team:


If you are on the black Team:


and so on. This can be done via a change of the background color value directly in the source code, so no traffic would be increased for the transmitting of any pictures or anything. Very easy stuff.

MY once concern would be I think if you were on the yellow team it could get really hard on the eyes. Perhaps it would be an option to keep it the traditional way it is now, or switch it to your team color?

[(DAC)Syzygy]

if you are on yellow, white or aqua the font can just be displayed in black.

it could be a gold color

[Gebiv]

Alright, what color for each team?

I'm thinking(I'm going by Hex colors, RGB models here:

Blue:
0000FF

Orange:
FF6600

Black:
444444 (That is a slightly lighter shade of black, if you can't notice)

Aqua:
3399CC

Green:
339933

White:
EEEEEE

Red:
FF0033

Maroon:
BB0000

Purple:
990099 (Maybe BB00BB)

Yellow:
EAEA00 Bah, this one needs work

Brown:
993300

Pink:
EE00EE

No team(Grey):
AAAAAA

And on Yellow, Pink, and White, the font will be black.

[Nikolaos]

I like the idea

[joeliscob]

this is a cool idea. white team would be kind of boring

[Philotheos]

The pink you have there is pretty purpily. Perhaps make the purple darker to increase contrast between the two. Also, I thought aqua was more greenish than the blue color you have above.

[Iamrecognized]

I like it!

That's because it is technically a purple. Equal parts blue and red. You could shoot for FF00C0 if you wanted.

I gave a blue for the aqua because the color that Admin put in the game is a Cyan. I felt like being consistant.

[(DAC)Syzygy]

well, besides for the color technicals, I just think it adds more identifying with a nations team sphere to the game, you see this in lots of other games where the users have some kind of HUD-Interface (Unreal Tournament or Quake or whatever), often its transparent with the shade of the persons team. Kinda cool. Maybe add an option in the "my profile" section where a user can disable team skinning if he has visual problems or it bothers him for some reason.

[iMatt]

Yep, I fully agree with this idea And disabling skinning is necessary, but I think most players will enjoy this change.

[youwish959]

I fully support this, if disabling is allowed.

[cjhoser]

I would love this addition.

[iClean]

I agree with this!

[Jokers]

I like the idea except the blue skin probably doesn't need to be changed as the current form is already blue

In RGB, Blue as in is #0000FF, the current blue is more of #00007E.(I'm just guessing here) Essentially, that's just 50% darker, but it probably could be brightened for a more of a blue feel than the neutral is currently presents.

In a second guess, I'm thinking the blue we have #000080. I don't want Admin saying I was one or two off.

I support this idea.
