  1. [suggestion]
    Add new math command to chat. There is already a //calc command to use the calculator in chat, which is extraordinarily useful for economic reasons and shop signs. However, I wonder if it would be easy enough to add in a random number chooser for a command. The request would be for a computer choice of a random whole number of 1-50 or similar. The choice would be entered of 1 thru 62 and then let the chat channel of the player publish that request and the result.

    The specific use is for making a choice between a set of numbers and having it announced in chat. Uses for this command might include choosing teams on games and for chat giveaways or chat games.
    NuclearBobomb, farmerguyson and 607 like this.
  2. That does sound useful for a variety of situations, especially if as you suggest the request the request and result are shown to everyone. When the command is new, it might be used to spam, but spam is not allowed, and when the novelty wears off, it probably won't be an issue anymore.
  3. Hol up, what :eek:

    But yeah, this sounds useful. I second this suggestion :)
