Ok, three things about this suggestion.

Firstly, dead ringer. Just no. What was the point of it? Admins don't need that. Admins are not trolls. They are nice people, who do not need any trolling weaponry. They have a set of admin commands, so even if they were trolls that wouldn't exactly help them in any way, they have godlike powers for trolling with.

Secondly, I was assuming more advanced clockwork, don't point out bits of obvious knowledge like I'm some caveman learning what a gear is. Your first comment stated steampunk, implying your other definition of clockwork was not basic. I am aware we have clockwork mechanisms dated to first century BC, but your devices are still out of the time. The game runs through 3,000,000 BC to about 5-15 AD, with a few minor exceptions such as pies and coin presses. The late game items all generally fit into the Middle Ages, also known as the medieval times, where we get the name of our best and most expensive walls, the medieval wall set. Crossbows and catapults also date into this section, along with yew bows and swords. In fact, this is actually not even close to the end of the period, basic guns and cannons have not been implemented, neither has the ballista. So why are you trying to add 16th century devices, about 200-300 years in to future to the most modern section of the game? We have enough exceptions, don't make anymore.

Your point about how clockwork is just lumps of metal made into funny shapes is rendered rather invalid when your clockwork devices are actually dated, and it is found that all of your ideas are 2-3 century's past the most technologically advanced period of the game. Clockwork just wont work, too advanced. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough first time I said it.

Thirdly, why would anyone use these clocks when I invented a really cheap, never breaking, portable one? It is called looking at the sky. The day-night system also plays no significant part in the game. Or any part. It is so aesthetic, nobody notices or uses it. The times dont match up with hunger rates, so having breakfast and lunch is rather pointless. It has absolutely no use.
