How To Square Your Operations Account

[Taven]

The new help files look pretty great. I think the only think that really caught my eye about the helpfiles themselves was that in character reports you say:

All communication with staff, including reports, should go through the request tool: http://www.armageddon.org/request

I thought including the link was really great and handy. However, you didn't include the link in the rest. If it's easy to do, it might be convenient for players and make things more uniform.

Also, I'd recommend updating the webpage so that all of the information available is saying the same thing, and we aren't confusing anyone. Here's what I'd do:

• Staff Communication - Update the webpage (http://www.armageddon.org/general/contact.html)
• Character Reports - Add to OOC Documentation (http://www.armageddon.org/general/oocdocs.html)
• Accounts - Add to OOC Documentation (http://www.armageddon.org/general/oocdocs.html)
• Karma Options - Update the webpage (http://www.armageddon.org/rp/karma.html)
• Special Applications - Update the webpage (http://www.armageddon.org/general/special.php)
• Wish (updated) - Add info to the Staff Contact webpage portion (http://www.armageddon.org/general/contact.html)
• Karma (updated) - Looks good, I think

Otherwise, great work!

If only there were a recommended way to communicate such ideas and suggestions to staff

... Request... tool?

But really, sometimes it's nice to post on the GDB about a GDB announcement to see what other Armers say, so if I missed something, I can stick that in the thing I send in too. It might be as simple as "these are my ideas, but GDB Amos also suggested X, and I thought that was cool". Because GDB Amos might not send it in, and adding that little bit, brings it up to staff as well, but without being too repetitive (hopefully).

I have a plan, honest! 

(This is your cue to post something inspiring, GDB Amoses and Amosas)

Thanks Taven for posting! You do a lot of work on behalf of the players, AS a player - your efforts are appreciated, at least by this player. That list above, seems pretty complete, I didn't notice anything missing. Maybe someone else will though. I agree it's good that you post it here, for the exact reasons you state - maybe someone else will have something to add to it, before it gets turned into an actual "request."

Going to send my ideas in tomorrow, so if you have any input you want me to cover ("Amos had an awesome idea when they said...") then post today, folks.

Thank, as nor said, make a request of it.

I explicitly removed the link in the help files because we have a See Also of 'Request Tool' which gives the URL. Maybe my database training, need to reduce redundant copies of data and instead use pointers. [/list]

There will be request-making on the morrow. It's part of my grandmaster plan.
