I may just add that.. thanks for the idea. *grin* I'm quite aware of the difference between non-gaming concepts and gaming concepts. You can use it for anything. After trying a few methods I decided upon another linked list. I had one of them and several types of messages that could be saved (but only permitted a maximum 20 of each type). Then when someone came back from AFK they could type "replay say" and get back all the says they missed while AFK, or "replay shout" and get back all the shouts. Although it would have been quite possible to do it the way you state above with the same underlying flexibility, too. -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
