event announcments in MA chat buffer
« on: December 14, 2008, 03:14:12 PM »
Any chance of having automated blue text announcing "event x starting in the SE arena in 30 mins" with maybe "walk-ons are allowed for this event" ect in the MA's, or perhaps an hour before the event starts and every subsequent 20 mins.

It would be a handy reminder for tools such as myself, aid with time zone differences and possibly bring in new faces

Yeah...I'd love it. I know some guys go in and announce it on 200 but there's many people that don't have 200 tuned, but still fly the events.

Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

There is no "automated" blue text, to do that a CM has to log into each arena.
The problem is, the setup CM ussually has his hands full about that point.

Or more properly, what we've requested in the past is a dot command where a CM can send CM announcments over to other arenas when an event is about to start. 

Reasons:
  • The arena cap can make it difficult to stop in each arena to type an announcment.
  • Channel 1 is disabled in some arenas, and not everyone tunes to 200.
  • Announcments on 200 in gray text may blend in with the chatter in a busy MA.
  • Country change time limits prevent individual CMs from anouncing on all channel 2s.

Great Idea!!! :aok :aok :aok

Unfortunately the "privaledge" of typing in blue text for CM's, is limited to the SEA I or SEAII at this time.

Agreed, the ability for CM's to send public announcements to the MA's, before a SEA event starts without having to leave the SEA,would be a great help.

This would be a great addition both for the CMs and for the players.
