I tried looking on the forums for a topic like this but couldn't find it, if I missed it I apologize.
The basic idea is pretty simple. I think a lot of players who use FG to play multiple games would like the ability to give nicknames to their connections. Yes we have username but that's usually reserved for a players real name, at least for me it is. And we have aliases but if you only log into it once a week it can be a bit hard to remember which one is for which game. It gets a lot harder when you're forced to use an IP address in the case of using something like Hamachi to connect, forgive my feeble memory but I can't remember which IP address goes to which game. So I thought it might be a nice, simple, easy to add feature for players to be able to add a nick name or note to the game like "Friday Night Game" or "3.5e game with Jerry". Something simple to help people playing in multiple games to keep track of which alias or IP goes to which game.
I thought this might be a good feature for us players. But I welcome the opinions of others. Just be gentle. :D
