Love the sleeping bag idea, should save a lot of mucking around trying to find each other on new maps.

Sleeping Bag Charity Simulator
Assign to Friend
Something we’ve been thinking about for a long time. We’ve talked ourselves out of it and talked ourselves back into it. Our primary problem with this solution was that we didn’t like that people would be killing themselves to spawn near a friend. Which probably seems like a silly thing to worry about. So now I’m pulling the trigger.
The idea is as simple as it could be. You hold E on a sleeping bag that you own, select assign to friend – then search for your friend’s name and click on it. Your friend now owns this sleeping bag and can spawn at it. The player list is collected from players on the server and from your friends list.
