New CLI command: /tipo

OK I have a suggestion that I think would save time and the number of images a person might have to make and send to the forums.
Replace the commands
/time and
/pos, or add the command:
- → /tipo in action: Show
tipo.png
Image edited to reflect final results of /tipo
Actually that looks more like a /poti command.
Not a programmer, so I have no idea if possible or if so how hard it might be to implement or if even wanted.

I think is really a good suggestion

I think it's a great idea. I have clue on the programming side (never stops me from suggestions!), but you could probably even eliminate the standalone /time and /pos for this. It's not like it'd be an inconvenience to see your position if you only care about the time, or the other way.

Great idea. You could keep the command as /time or /pos as it is what we already know.

I love the idea - both commands could be made into one, making it easier for everyone, especially new players
What it's called isn't so important - but it should be something memorable, and easy to learn for new players
I'm thinking something like /info
but let's keep in mind, not everyone can read English, or uses our alphabet
so I'd propose two commands for the same thing - one being a shortform
/info
/i
the shortform would be easier for experienced players, and those who do not use the English alphabet so much (typing in a strange alphabet is hard, when you don't know the letters)
the longform would be easier for new players to remember
but again, it's not so much what it's called, but that it's added

/x .... thinking "x marks the spot" or "you are here" kind of thing maybe this crosses some language barriers?
whatever could be be used, it truly is a genius idea... simple and helpful - kudos to you for being the first I can recall to think of it

Yes, well, today the game has /time and /pos -->> is that for "all" languages? If so then simply creating the code to do both "tipo" style and apply to both existing /time /pos commands will work with both giving the same info.
Although I do like the /info or /i commands.
Maybe another suggestion "IF" the command can/will be implemented:
- Stop advertising the /time and /pos commands, but leave them active as /info or /i
- Start advertising a change in CLI commands: /Info or /i
- People that are use to /time & /pos because they have played for years ... get the information
- New people are taught to use /info or /i
I am a horrible typist and even worse on a virtual keyboard, just ask MadMikeal or anyone on my friends list.
I will switch to /i in a flash!

/x will work as well, because "You are here at this time" in the instructions most certainly can be translated into different languages.
Or will it be /x I switch to
Thanks. And thus ends my brief moment of genius for this decade.

This is a great idea! It also makes things easier when having to report things
