3.15 Viewing Login Announcements
If you want to see the login announcements at any time after you log in, you can use the command ANNOUNCEMENTS.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
-Displays the login announcements you would see when you log in.
---
Organization leaders (and those given access) are able to setup announcements for their organizations.
Each organization can have a maximum of five (5) enabled announcements and announcements have a maximum character length of 200 characters.
Note that all changes made to announces - including creation, editing, enabling and disabling - are logged in the relevant organization log, and any inappropriate announces will be easily found and punished.
The syntax for using the command are:
ORG ANNOUNCE NEW <message>
ORG ANNOUNCE LIST
ORG ANNOUNCE <announce>
ORG ANNOUNCE <announce> MESSAGE <new message>
ORG ANNOUNCE <announce> ENABLE
ORG ANNOUNCE <announce> DISABLE
Replacing ORG with your relevant organization - CITY, GUILD, SECT or TOWNE.
-- Example --
In this example, we will use CITY as the command to create a new announcement.
> CITY ANNOUNCE NEW Welcome to Stavenn. Please feel free to sacrifice puppies and kittens.
This will output:
Created announce #1 for Stavenn.
Announce #1 message set to:
- Welcome to Stavenn. Please feel free to sacrifice puppies and kittens.
Now, if we wanted to emphasise part of the message, we can put * around the words. We can do this when creating the announce or by editing the message.
> CITY ANNOUNCE 1 MESSAGE Welcome to *Stavenn*. Please feel free to sacrifice *cute animals*.
Announce #1 message set to:
- Welcome to Stavenn. Please feel free to sacrifice cute animals.
You'll notice, when you have access to this command or view
announcements, that the words with * around them will be colored yellow.
We decide to quickly look over the announcement, to make sure it is all correct.
> CITY ANNOUNCE 1
Announcement #1 for Stavenn
Creator: Kalika
Message:
- Welcome to Stavenn. Please feel free to sacrifice cute animals.
Enabled: No.
Everything looks fine, so we enable it for our citizens to see.
> CITY ANNOUNCE 1 ENABLE
You have enabled announce #1 for Stavenn.
Now I can look at ANNOUNCEMENTS (or log in again) and see this:
--- The City of Stavenn Announcement -----------------------------------
- Welcome to Stavenn. Please feel free to sacrifice cute animals.
