"Did You Know?" Tips on loading screen

[Melting Plastic]

Either when Blockland first starts up and you see the main menu or
When you are loading the mission,  It would be great if a small window popped up with a random "Did You Know' or "Tip.." stating some random aspect on how to use the game.

Example:  Did You know, 
                          At any time you can clear all of your own bricks by typing /clearbricks in the chat box.

I think It would dramatically help new players learn both the basics of blockland and the more subtle commands and such that are in the game.

Yeah I like this idea. A lot of people don't know about little tips like pressing corresponding keys on your keyboard to select a print for a brick.

They did this in UT2004 I think, and it worked really well.

It would save some time for people who have to explain everything to someone who doesn't know how to do something.

"Did you know you don't need a spawn brick to spawn items?" Seriously, it looks horrible when people use a player spawn point as an item spawner.

I love this idea! 

[laremere]

Great idea.

And have the players be able to submit their own tips.

And have the players be able to submit their own tips.

No.
That would cause major confusion and will simply not work out. It won't be long before you see stupid tips if your were to incorporate that idea.

As for the idea itself, I love it :D

Reviewers and editors.

Reviewers and editors.

Which = more time wasted.
Plus no one wants to be sitting there disapproving of childish and unneeded tips all day long.

Too much work for such a small feature. Official tips are just fine, since its unlikely that players will know more tips about the game than the maker.

[General Omega]

I would like it. I like simple mindless repetitive task like clicking stuff a million times.

[NoZoner]

What about a quiz?

[Tri]

This is a really good idea

Love this. we just need a list of some. Some need to be informative (if your an admin you can type /fetch (player name) to bring a player to you. just replace (Player name) with part or all of a player's name!), some need to be interesting (Blockland's source has <HUGE NUMBER> Lines of code!), and some need to be funny (The horse is very mad at you. Just look at it's eyes. It knows.)

Need a list of these
