Canned Chat

I remember AQW and the like had a specific type of chat for unregistered players; people whose emails could not be or had not been verified. There were dropdown lists of specific things you could say. Like the voiceline menus in Valorant or Overwatch, but mildly more complex. With some of the recent changes regarding names and numbers for players whilst in-game, I think this could actually be manageable. Preset sentence structures, with spots where you can scroll a list of dates, names or actions. Like one of those madlib books. There are players who might struggle with sentence structure and may come off to other players as incoherent. There might be players who speak English as a third or fourth language. There might be players who get chatbanned for breaking a rule they were not advised of, or perhaps had a slip of the tongue (mind) and typed something they shouldn't have, due to either temper or comical timing found in poor taste. This way these players receive a warning that is plenty effective, and perhaps don't have to fill a now unoccupied recreational slot in their schedule, since most of us are adults who have developed rather packed schedules since becoming players of this game; hence the vastly decreased player counts day-to-day.

Among Us has a chat for unpaid users? Wish I knew that before I bought it.

No, you just make no sense at all.

I'm not sure how I can possibly clarify. A drop down chat box, instead of typing in statements. Prebuilt sentences with optional drop-downs for player numbers, occurrences and dates.

They're not talkin' too fast, you're just listenin' too slow.

No, they tried that for among us and it was awful.

I rather avoid making the game more dull with messages that you can just click.
