I think my proposed solution of having their name change colors on the League display is sufficient.|

Anyone who knows about the temps would quickly find out about this feature, and educate their leaguemates.
Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.
While I generally agree with the need for this idea, I'd prefer if a new blinking tray with these temps popped up during the Marauder fight, maybe with a big arrow pointing at it. It'd be easier to let the easily distracted become aware they have a role to play after all besides auto-brawl and cut-scene spam.
On that note, I noticed during my first trial that my global chat didn't automatically join /league chat (maybe because I inadvertedly messed with it, maybe it was like that from the start, I don't know), and other players, supposedly unresponsive, might suffer from the same problem. I know at least one case where I used the /team chat to ask for acids and lo and behold, three different players suddenly found it! Maybe each of the 2 team leaders should ask in /team before entering Lambda if everyone is actually seeing the blue-colored league chat.
Last night I had the misfortune of failing a Lambda because someone sat on a grenade (that didn't go off under them). The only plus to it was that I had the pleasure of teaming with Golden Girl! We really do need a better mechanic for people to know they have the grenades and to be able to use them. I also had an issue where an acid would not deploy, even after trayed. This is definitely something in big need of a fix. I really think that those temps need to popup in a new tray specifically for them.
