/**
 * Helper for logging chat messages or other logs with arbitrary inputs (e.g. announcements)
 *
 * This proc compiles a log string by prefixing the tag to the message
 * and suffixing what it was forced_by if anything
 * if the message lacks a tag and suffix then it is logged on its own
 * Arguments:
 * * message - The message being logged
 * * message_type - the type of log the message is(ATTACK, SAY, etc)
 * * tag - tag that indicates the type of text(announcement, telepathy, etc)
 * * log_globally - boolean checking whether or not we write this log to the log file
 * * forced_by - source that forced the dialogue if any
