Make your game's Contact List more accessible

  1. Make e-mail addresses and screen names linkable so players can send e-mails and add others to their buddy list in just one click. Include journal names in the list of the player's characters to save the forgetful players the trouble of comparing the Contact List to the Character List in order to find all three pieces of information (i.e. Player, Character, Journal).

    Example
    Jane (Mary Sue, Gary Stu)
    Timezone: CST
    Screen Name: janeroleplays
    E-Mail: janeroleplays@gmail.com
    CDJ: [info]jane
    → Jane (Mary Sue [[info]marysue], Gary Stu [[info]garystu])
    Timezone: CST
    Screen Name: janeroleplays
    E-Mail: janeroleplays@gmail.com
    CDJ: [info]jane
    Code


  2. Provide links for mass e-mail, a buddy list builder, and a CDJ friend adder. These tools are especially helpful for mods and new players.
    Example: Mass E-Mail Link

    send an e-mail to all players

    Code

    Example: AIM Buddy List Builder

    add all players to your buddy list

    Code



    Notes: Replace spaces in screen names with a '+' sign. This tool will not work with certain AIM and MSN platforms.

    AIM Hyperlink Command Codes
    MSN Hyperlink Command Codes
    Example: CDJ Friend Adder

    add CDJs of all players
    Code

    Notes: The adder needs to be accessible by each player's CDJ in one of a few different ways, depending on the level of privacy of your game and players.
    1. A public entry in the moderator journal.
    2. A f-locked entry in the game's OOC community if you allow CDJs there.
    3. A public entry in the OOC community if you don't.
    4. An entry in a moderator's CDJ.

Haven't had any trouble so far, but I'll keep that in mind. :)
