I dont really play VCMP, but the idea doesnt seems fit for EC. There are more than 2/3 skins per team in this server. They have multiple choices of skin in each team, so they wont have to choose same skin everytime they want to play with friends. About your idea, it will cause limitation and confusion if the 'Team chat' works as 'Skin chat' like you have suggested. It is not a good thing if everyone has to choose same skin to chat with team-mate, while there are many more skins which belong to same team. It could also be a problem for VIP that use custom skin or /changeskin as not everyone can use the skin. The current team chat already allow you to chat with your team mate( whether they use same skin or not ), which is better than the suggestion. The messages you send through team-chat is not something private( we have PM if it's private ), so it's not a big deal if your team see it as they would ignore the messages if it has nothing to do with them.
