Ideas of questionable quality

[Frank_Stein]

This is a general  thread dedicated to ideas that you think might be interesting, but would probably be unpopular or would mess with established mechanics.

Occasionally, I wonder what it would be like if the general radio channel wasn't there. Headsets would only work for talking to people in your department, with the exception of Heads of Staff who would have to serve as coordinators over radio chat. Otherwise, all your interdepartmental communication would have to be done in person, or by PDA messaging. I think it would lead to more camaraderie within departments while making chat easier to pay attention to since a lot of the bullshit would be cut out of it.  PDA's would become more important for their department messaging abilities and crisis alerts, and people would probably walk around and use the intercoms more. Traitors would probably have an easier time going unnoticed, which could be a plus or minus depending on how you see it.

I couldn't see this being well received though due to it making the game more frustrating and a lot quieter for most players
