You need a second number as well. The first one is the time it repeats in, and the second is the delay after the arena spawns. Both are in minutes.

Yea, thats what I always did. But most of the time I never used periodic messages, I thought they were annoying, especially when you go afk and everyone is in spec.

the best way to be sure none of them will appear at the same time, use the same delay for all of them, but different initial delay values...
like if you have 4 messages...
20 1
20 6
20 11
20 16

first message will appear at the 1st minute, then at the 21st minute.. etc.
2nd will appear at 6, 26.. etc....
that one minute offset is to avoid the message appearing at the same time as the welcome message (or maybe that's useless since it counts from arena spawn, and not from entering arena)
anyways..you get the idea

I'm not sure about the order of the 2 numbers though, maybe the first one should be the initial delay... check template.sss to be sure about it.

I think the in "20 1" the 1 is time it repeats and 20 is the other so should be like "1 20" can anyone confirm this?
