The primary complexity of this system come from the fact that we don't want to show any announcements when connecting to a world for the first time, only on subsequent connections.

Also, should this display to all clients, or just the GM? I suspect that just the GM would be the most useful variation of this, however I can also foresee some announcements being useful for all clients to get, so it might be worth considering having a boolean option for GM only or all clients

This should be a system that queries a specific file within the git repo (probably JSON) and compares the most recent announcement to the one they most recently saw, and then displays an application with the announcements within it.

This should also ideally be portable enough to pull to my other systems without much modification
