/timer function chat

for when your friend says ill be here in 5 minutes but he comes in 5:30 and u want to flame

No, if you want to do that, use a stop watch. Every smart phone has one. every web browser could have an add-on to do it. If you have a watch you can do it.

So no, if this is what you want it for and I can't think of any other reason why you would need one, then its not worth Valves time to put one in.

i want him to see it aswell

[GaWran]

so you saying we didnt need the /flip command cause everyone has a coin or google can do it for you ?, its there so the 2nd person can see it

[Gwarsbane]

No actually we don't need the flip command, and till you mentioned it I had no idea it existed. I have no idea why valve would bother with it. Seeing as how you don't need to know who goes first in trading as both of you trade at the same time, I see no reason for it other than because you're bored. If you are bored, play a game.

BUT you stated right in your first post the reason you wanted it was to flame someone.

There is no other reason to have it, and since valve doesn't want people flaming or shaming others its a bad reason to actually add it.

wasnt actually seriously thinking about flaming at someone for being 30 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seconds late, its a joke, joke that went way over your head

When you purpose an idea that you want in steam, you should give an actual reason why you think this idea is needed otherwise there is a high chance that it will just be ignored.

Sadly your "joke" doesn't come off as a joke because we've seen lots of people say stuff like that and then try to pass it off as a joke.

This is not the place to put joke threads, if you want to do that, you do it in off topic.

So since you have no actual reason why this should be included in steam, I'll say no its a pointless feature that does nothing but waste valves time and money putting it into the program.

Just checked, they have /flip and /random (really weird) not sure why they cannot use the same counter as /random for a timer, seems like a valid idea :P
