Guild MOTD

Postby Dalar » Wed Feb 06, 2002 6:59 am

would be nice if we could type assoc and see a guild motd on the top of the guild member list.

Example:

Hi doods, check out the BBS for new quest i found.

Hrm nobody else has posted any thoughts on this one. Well since I have officially put myself in 2nd in command of Phoenix, I felt that I should pass on that Eza likes this Idea a lot too for the same reasons I stated. Anyone else?

I think this idea stinks...
Oh Wait....

I'm currently not in an ASSOC...

Disregard previous comment.

I think this is an excellent idea. It would definitely save me time. I was gonna post the idea on here myself until I saw that someone else already did. Typing out the same message to 20 guild members gets really old really fast. I think this is something that is a must-have.

I guess its not the highest priority, but it would be very nice.

Another related issue is the full page of blank space under the "staff message" when lieuts and guild leaders type 'assoc'. Maybe that would be a good place to put the motd. I wonder how difficult it would be to apply the mudmail code to this purpose.

I agree with Ebgar on the annoying Staff Message thingy. I provide below my proposed layout on how the Guild Motd should be like and a proposed change to the Staff Message section.

Xxxx Xxxxxx (Organization) Founded: xx/xx
----------------------------------------

Total Members : X
Bank Account : x platinum x gold x silver x copper

Members:
----------------------------------------
o Xxxx | Leader of |
o Xxxx | Lieutenant of |
Xxxx | Lieutenant of |
Xxxx | Officer of |
Xxxx | Member of |

Xxxx MOTD: Last Updated: xx/xx/xx
----------
(insert guild message here maximum of 10 maybe 15 lines)

Staff Messages: Last Updated xx/xx


This screen would indicate the latest update for messages from the staff. A new command would need to be added in order to access these messages. Perhaps, assoc staffmessages or assoc inbox, or something to that effect. I would also suggest that the Staff Messages screen be somewhat similar in layout to the News layout, in that the older messages would be at the bottom and the newer ones be at the top.

Hope that this would be given some thought.

baby steps.. id settle for the annoying 2 pages of blank space being taken out so i dont have to constantly backscroll. Guild MOTD would be a huge bonus of course Image

Having recently been asked to send a Mmail message to all 29 members of my guild this would be a nice feature.

Thanks.

I agree with Corth that those annoying blank spaces needs to be removed and I couldn't agree with Depok more.

Mailing 20 people is at best, troublesome. Either way, I know that this isn't an issue that concerns playability, but still, I hope that this gets looked at.

I guess it would also be nice to have one mmail address that would give everyone in the guild the message. Like with emails.

Bump.

Any answer on ever getting guild motd's? :P
Im going to have to do another mass mail for everyone in the guild tonight and it's quite annoying to mail 17 people the same thing. If not a motd, then a command to mail multipule people? anything? :P

You totally defeat the purpose. The idea is to create work for the coding people therefore negating any work done by me. Sheesh. People, listen!
