Automatically "annotated" consultation games
My Team plays unrated consultation games against other teams where moves are decided by vote. Since we do this with several other teams there must be many of these games. They are great fun and educational. What is lost is the post game review. GK could create a special category for these games, have the vote comments by each team saved and attached to the move (still visible only by that team) rather than in the team discussion board. When the game ends all vote comments from both sides could be made visible to everyone on GK like an automatically "annotated" consultation game. I think this would be a good analysis tool. Thanks.

I don't think there's such thing as an automatically annotated game, extremo. And, that's because the machine isn't going to annotate the game. But, it's possible for one to do so, and I have many. When you click under your past game history, it annotate is an option. And, from there, you can start an annotation by hitting save. It's also possible to make it public by hitting make public (accessible for everyone). I hope this helps.

This is a suggestion for a new feature...
I don't think you understood what I meant. The resulting "annotation" (quotes on purpose because it would not be a true annotation) of the game would be all the vote comments and support logic for each move vote made by the team members making the move. They would be automatically published with the game when the game is over and both teams (and anyone else if made public) could go over who voted for what move at critical points in the game. Admittedly more useful for the teams playing the game but still interesting to others.
