Which specific events should be logged in game chat?

[rommager]

Per the discussion here: http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=588.0, this is a thread to collect all the specific events that should be logged in the chat/event log window.  Here's what we have so far:

During land grant:

"Player [playername] granted plot X,Y"
"Player [playername] granted ploy X,Y over players [playernames] due to player ranking.
 
During Development:

"Player [playername] granted/suffered event [event name (i.e. pests, visiting relatives, etc.)"
"Player [playername] purchases MULE"
"Player [playername] outfits MULE with energy"
"Player [playername] develops plot X,Y"


Fire away with any other suggestions!  I will update this master list as we get more suggestions in this thread.  I think to start, logging these events to chat will work fine, but if we get lots of events, then maybe then can be logged later to a separate log window.

The log should keep log of every action in the game.

In the land grant:

"Player [playername] granted plot X,Y"

During Development:

"Player [playername] granted/suffered event [event name (i.e. pests, visiting relatives, etc.)"
"Player [playername] purchases MULE"
"Player [playername] outfits MULE with energy"
"Player [playername] develops plot X,Y"

etc
etc

You get the picture.  I know that this already happens in the actual game log, but this is a way for everyone to see what's happening/happened in plain english without all the network code jibberish in between, and they would be able to see it  in real time.

Can include that "Player [playername] surveyed plot X,Y"  May or may not want to include survey results.
Should include "Player [playername] captured the Wumpus for $$$" and "Player [playername] won $$$ in the bar"

I can see the wampus and bar announcements being in the log, and also "Player [playername] ran out of time" and "Player [playername] lost a mule"

As far as who surveyed a plot, I wouldn't go so far as to put the plot in the survey.  It makes is easier for other players to keep track of which plots were surveyed.  Part of the strategy is paying attention to what other players are doing and what they discover.  Maybe this message should be "Player [playername] assayed a plot."

Considering it is easier for a player to update a hand written map during the course of the game, I don't see the harm in it.  Chances are, someone won't have much time to waste scrolling up in the log to see the assays.  In addition to scrolling and looking for it, they would have to figure out which plot was "5,8".  You get my drift.
