I send lots of ingame messages, usually silly or joking. Sometimes I will refer to the coutnry name of a random country that struck me funny, or I will send fake regrets or faux taunts to countries I'm warring with. For example, I told some SOLers that it was their turn to bring the food when GSing me recently.

When I log in to a dead country, and see the "NEW MSSGS" button, I really want to read them. I can't if the country has died. This strikes me as unneccessarily limiting player interaction. How can I appropriately respond with madcap cheek if I don't know who said what?

My suggestion is for messages to get forwarded to restarts.
