#### Butler Phone!

For a short time there, it was possible to talk to your butler and give him or her commands where ever you might be in game so long as you had the chat window open.
This, of course, was a bug, and has been, in the parlance of our times, nerfed.
However! I think it would be brilliant, and seemingly within intended game mechanics, if you could get a card upgrade that would be called "Butler Phone" or something like that! It would have a picture on it of a pair of cans with a piece of string between them, and it would allow you to issue commands to your butler from afar (your butler might appear in your friends list or something for this to work.
It would also give you an added command that you could activate over the chat window: "Who's on my street?"
And maybe another one, "Say".
There are a lot of possibilities.

- Some of this is actually functionality that existed in early dev versions of the butler and will eventually be restored (e.g., get an IM from your butler telling you that a visitor just stopped by & reply with "say hi" caused the butler to approach the visitor and say "Carl says to say hi").

- I was wondering if that was the case! Sweet!
  Still, I thought that there is some opportunity for upgrade cards in this as well. Because upgrading your butler is cool. So, I had to post anyway!
