I feel like I'm one of the few that actually like the blue birdie - if only the font would become much larger (and thus far more readable).

That aside - would it be possible to put the text strings Chirpee uses into a flat *.txt so even the modding-impaired like me could alter them at will? Preferably in a way so it doesn't break achievement mode? I realize some of his messages are tied to specific situations in the city, and might thus have to remain hardcoded unless they get #tagged in the *.txt file somehow, but surely it should be possible to add our own random chirps to the mix?

For that matter, would you consider submissions from fans for new/alternative text lines? Some of the chirps grow repetitive, even when they have more than one possible line (like the 'found wallet' and 'water our plants' chirps for having low crime).

Paradox has had shortstory writing contests. Surely Colossal Order could pull off a 'best #chirp' contest, with fame and glory as the prize? :p
