Response message to -ft set timezone makes little sense #70

Description

@j-rodman

The introductory message calls to action:

-> Set your time zone by using the -ft set command!

Since there is no syntax diagram offered etc, I immediately type:

# -ft set America/Los_Angeles

This comes back with:

-> This command can only be used in a server.

At this point I'm trying to figure how to talk to the bot in a server-specific way, and am ratholed re: using the bot.

Possible Improvements to alleviate:

1 - Give more explicit instructions. "Set your time zone by typing -ft set" or some similar construction. A command takes arguments. Something you just ask the user to type is more explicit.

2 - If someone types -ft set <explicit_TZ> just work. I know this is theoretically hard because almost any string is a valid TZ at least from the libc specification, but realistically for your design you could limit this to the well-formed time zones you expect from your map.
