Special days created by players should be credited

[saxum]

With people selling day stones those who use special stones ought to be recognized not just when they use the stone but when people log in and when the #day command is used.

 

As an example this game day was sponsored by Nova and if you had just logged in you would have gotten message:

Today is a special day:

Day of Aleksei Stakhanov

English: 3x experience for harvesting.

....

It would be better if it was:

Today is a special day

sponsored by Nova

:

Day of Aleksei Stakhanov

English: 3x experience for harvesting.

 

 

Those who log in after day starts could then give thanks to whomever it was due to.

The message would have to be coded to the #day command until the next 0:00, cause I don;t think it's coded like one would think, which is why it doesn't show up on the #day command, it's coded to display when the stone is used, not when the day is changed.

 

I know only a little bit of code, I think it would be a little challenge to work around

 

LOVE the idea, btw.

While the idea is fine, keep in mind that the code of a number of bots and other services (e.g., web sites, or the Android widget) would have to be adjusted if the actual message is changed. So, instead of

 

Today is a special day sponsored by Nova:

Day of Aleksei Stakhanov

English: 3x experience for harvesting.

it would be better to have

 

Today is a special day:

Day of Aleksei Stakhanov

English: 3x experience for harvesting.

(sponsored by Nova)

or, clumsier,

 

The following message is sponsored by Nova.

Today is a special day:

Day of Aleksei Stakhanov

English: 3x experience for harvesting.
