/***************************************************************************
* This snippet written by Praesius of Shardscape MUD. *
* *
* This snippet is a quick way to have messages defined in tick_table *
* display to everyone connected to the mud. You can define as many *
* messages in the tick_table as you want. I'm sure there's a cleaner *
* way to do this, but this was the easiest way I could think of. *
* *
* You don't have to bother crediting me, but I would at least like *
* an email letting me know that you're using it. *
* *
* This snippet was inspired by the post by Aydrian on MudMagic.com *
* explaining how to add tick messages. I just expanded on that idea. *
* *
* Also, this code can be written as a function "show_autotick" or *
* or something similar to make it toggle-able via an autotick cmd. *
