#36 change to mortalnet layout

[tetra]

I thought it might be nice to extend the right margin on
MortalNet. You could then allow more letters in the
chatroom members' names and also have room for a
status column. Then when two chars start a game you
could have the letters IG next to their names (for in-
game) and keep them both in the chatroom.

Assuming two ppl go into the chatroom and start a game
between them and then a third person arrives:
nowadays that third person sees an empty chatroom
(him/herself and root) and assumes no one is online so
he/she logs off instead of waiting. But if the two chars
in the game had some status next to their names and
remained in the chatroom the third person would wait
around because he/she would know there was a chance
of getting a game after the 2 ppl had finished.

Following on from that idea - it might be good to have
ppl exit back to mortalnet directly after a fight rather
than going to the char-selection screen. That would
allow them to see who was in the chatroom and maybe
challenge different ppl.

This is an excellent idea, thanks. I'll need to work a LOT more
on the networking anyway. I'm thinking about adding a
Ladder-style list of top players, and so forth.

First we need stable and less laggy network play, though...
