So in my game all my staff get on a different times so we dont really have a way to communicate other than the forums. so what im trying to do is make a verb for gm's like message board and whenever a gm logs on they can read the board and see what message the last gm left or write a new message. idk where to start at other than the mob/verb and naming it

If you have a dedicated host, maintain a global list variable that holds all the messages.

var/list/AdminMessages = list()

mob/Admin/verb
    Message_Board_Add(t as message)
        AdminMessages.Add("[src] Wrote:<br>[t]")
    Message_Board_Read()
        var/text
        for(var/Message in AdminMessages)
            text+="[Message]<br>"
        src << browse(text)


Very makeshift, but you get the idea. Of course, the best way would be cross-server, which would require an external database.

One would wonder how'd you get to the point of naming something "your game" when you can't even manage anything beyond typing mob/verb/.

-.- i hate people that come around just to shit on peoples perade. if you must know i was able to code the game on my own this was just 1 part that i didnt understand how to code. it wasnt the fact that i couldnt get past mob/verb it was a fact that i didnt feel the need to write past that point because you would still get the jist of what i was asking.

also to comment on my grammer i didnt feel the need to waste perfect grammer to reply to such an ignorent comment.
