How about something like in netrek for X windows.  You have 4 extra windows.
One where "GOD" puts little tidbits about team mode and such.  Another where  
your teammates can communicate amongst themselves and one for messages to  
everyone.  This would of course be modified since there aren't the teams.   
Unless there was an alliance option where official alliances were extended  
where two or more people could become a "team"???  Sounds like an idea??
