Give Robot Talk a standout color - vampirate - 10-19-2020

This isn't the first incident something like this has happened but let me relate what happened just now.

AI says a person is a ling.

after corrects themselves

Bolts that person still not knowing if they're the ling and we have a law to kill it at all costs.  

I missed the correction and the dude turned out not to be a ling.
 
Part on me for missing it, and part just the nature of the game (human error creating mishaps), but it would go a long way to stopping such things if robottalk was not just straight white.  It blends in so easy with general it's hard to find the signal through the noise.   When borgos and the AI are coordinating critical info this can be a bad thing.

Would really like to see it be something other than just white.

Hope to see this soon.

I agree. In the meantime, I have a highlight string for "Robotic Talk" so that I'm less likely to miss it!
