Messages are picked up on the hour every hour from certain points?
Then they are sent to the main post office, where they are available 15 minutes after being picked up, or at any post office 30 minutes after being picked up.
You pay $1000 to send a message, and admins can't just read them in the mainchat, so it's more private in a sense. This will allow you to send more private stuff, which won't be viewed to every admin ingame, but we'll still have access if we go to the post office (needed).
This sense of messages being "secret", opens up new possibilities, such as large gangs intercepting the messages in the main post office, meaning they aren't sent everywhere, and are viewable by the gang member, until someone else turns up to take them down.
What does this open up? Yet another gap for RP - post office protector. Anyone can do it, and they can be the unofficial 'guardians' of the post office. What do they get for protecting it? $500,000 per gang member killed, from the Las Venturas Major, or something fun.
Alot to script, but an excellent idea.
