King Chat can make a great contribution to the game. Providing it's either interesting, amusing or informative. Mindless crudity and pointless blather is what forces me to drop KC into the background. And people who KC when they're supposed to be taking their turn give me the irrits.

Since I tend to play either games PURELY for the purposes of playing the game rathing than actually winning (ie my games with Chris and Joe) we tend to talk during our turns, but I don't think either side sees this as a negative aspect because its for specific reasons. Or I play a game for the purpose of Diplomacy, as in a Diplogame, and chatting is necessary, in some cases if you can't get the message out expediantly, its important to use your turn in order to get the message to the person you need to send it to.
So I think its always a plus.

I am indebted to finbar for showing me how to put KC in the background. Its a very useful tool but very annoying if abused. For personal chat I tend to use icq.

Chaos, panic and disorder - My work here is done.

A game without communication? Might as well play against the ai if you're playing with a bunch of mute drones.
Communication in multiplayer is an essential part of the game and should be used extensively when appropriate (bartering, disputing, arguing, bragging, storytelling, etc.).
It's the interaction that makes civ fun.
I do think off-game talk should be kept to an absolute minimum in KC however.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.

Notice how you only have to drop KC into the background when a certain two or three of our chaps come together in a game?
