    Hey everyone!

    I'm just full of crap ideas today! As some of you may be aware, I run a number of servers for King Arthur's Gold. I greatly prefer to manage them with the RCON telnet function, as it is really the only way to see more than one server at a time.

    A problem I have noticed, though, is that there is a great deal of information in the game client that does not appear to be accessible from there. Some big examples of content I would classify as "missing" include the following:
    - Current team of each player
    - The subject of votes called by players
    - Players' Steam and/or KAG name (not sure which one is missing, but it is one of them)
    - Ability to output to a permanent log file
    - More reliable password support (sometimes it requires a password, sometimes not, with no rhyme or reason I can see)
    - Command history buffer to repeat recently used commands


    That's about it. Some of these functions may just by something I've missed; if so, please let me know how to do them.

    I realize that the game is not entirely complete, and this type of functionality is probably on the back burner until all of the gameplay is finalized, but I feel its at least worth mentioning. We're flying pretty blind when not logged in via the KAG client. If anyone else has any other ideas or feedback, please chime in!
