Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
Hello BGA dev. team,
During our game people were very chatty and it was a mess with the game events in-between the player's discussions.
We figured out it would be better to have game events in a separate chat.
Solution 1 : Displays player's chat in a window and game event in another like in the current system where we have different chat windows for our different tables.
Solution 2 : Make the table discussion window a bit higher than currently and display the two chats inside the same window (50% of the chat window's height for each subchat).
Thank you all for your support,

Often in a game you have to go back to read the chat (usually when a player is eliminated and their identity revealed, but not only) and it may be important to see what was going on in the game when a player said something. This game is a timing game in many ways and context is crucial, so being able to track *when* things take place is important. So tracking who voted first, fast, etc. can provide useful information.
I think the developers probably had this in mind whey they implemented the game with a chat system that differs from the regular one found in other games.
