Mission Posted

[Mongoose]

Would it be too much trouble to have a small text message in upper right hand corner of monitor that a mission was posted, so that everyone in the arena would know with out having to keeping putting it in the text buffer which is supposed to be for chat?

To add my 2 cents:  Put it in the text buffer instead of the upper right hand corner of the screen.  I know the text buffer is for chat, but I wouldn't want more clutter on my screen.  Also, make it an option instead of automatic for all posted missions.  I might be posting a mission just for a small group, and not want it broadcast. 

Of course, for your missions, I always want to know when they are posted.  I love those missions.  My timing has been off, and I've missed them the last couple of weeks.

Hmmmm, option check box for you to even see the mission up notice on your screen or not. Option check box for the mission creator to publish it for screen notification or not. What an idea.

---------------------
 Set "(1- MaxNum) Mission Available" as a message on your screen to an off\on toggle in the clipboard pickup mission area. Have a second off\on toggle for the mission owner to have his mission or not, notified to the country in this manner. Then those who don't like seeing this won't mark the check box.

If the mission message is displayed with (1 - MaxNum). Then create a text command like (.tm Num) to return you the remaining time before mission launch. This assumes in the mission editor area to join a mission they are updated with (1 - MaxNum) and players remember their mission number.
