Hey, what if there was a varible that was affected by time.  Everyday at this o'clock, once an hour, and things like that would make everybody who are members have a varible change.  The varible change could happen even when the player is off.  It makes saving more of a better idea.  It makes games that are affected by a varible, lets say turns, allowed to refresh if there is no other way to let it refresh.  It also makes longer games in which you need to play over time instead of one sitting possible.  That brings in people who stay for awhile and ultamitly, there are more people here at MAG/CYS!

Good idea, but that would be hard to make, and it would be very hard to control.

Hard To Make - Yes, but not impossible.

Hard to Control - No, make it so that it comes every ## hours.  72 could be the limit of hours (3 Days)
   The user would only need to imput the number.

Another branch are time controled varibles 2.  I'll leave another message on that.

Perhaps this could just be solved if we exposed the current TIME or DATE as via scripting?

???

I want a way for time to affect varibles directly w/o even needing a page to affect them with.
