Make another bulletin board. Call it the "Announcement Board". Make it writable by gods only, but readable by all. Put this board (and copies of it if necesary) at all the places people can enter the game. (If there are more than 5 places, then just put the board in central locations.) This works extremely well for what you are talking about. The temple of Midgaard is a nice place if you use standard Midgaard. This also requires no changes to the code. Having one bulletin board in the entire game can make it very crowded. I think we have 7 - reading room, announcement, immortal and one for each guild. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | Jeff - Daro@Saturn.Rowan.Edu | | > | JDaro@Netcom.Com | If today is the first day of the rest of | > |----------------------------------| my life, what was yesterday? | > | T A Z M A N I A | | > | Ukko.Rowan.Edu 5000 | | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ##=====================###================================================## || Joshua Sky Barrow ||| Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Science || ##=====================###================================================## || 19 Central St., #28 ||| "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. || || Somerville, MA ||| If you can dream it, you can become it." || || 02143-2834 ||| Unknown || ##=====================###================================================## || (617) 666-0859 ||| E-mail: jsbarrow@fas.harvard.edu || ##=====================###================================================##
