Two queries relating to the report about new players on the online order editor. This is an extremely nice addition, but...

1) There seems to be a problem with a lack of wrapping of any additional text. One new player has written more than one sentence, leading to an extremely wide page rather than the text wrapping.

2) This information on new players is great, but is it possible to get it emailed, perhaps with political reports? Otherwise those of us who don't use the online order editor regularly (or at all) will miss out on this new resource for getting players into the right affs.

What political rights (or whatnot) do you need to be able to use this? (and what is it? what does it do?)

Just mentioned this on the yahoo group. biggrin.gif

If you have the political right:Recruit,you have access to the list of new players shown in the information section of the editor and can email them directly if you so wish.

The right to Recruit can be given to anyone as can all the other political rights.

The New Player list is getting unmanagably long - can they be dropped off after a couple of weeks?

When you reply to them they disappear.... however i understand that you will just want to ignore soem so i did add that feature but it got a bit delayed when everything failed the next week. I will get around to sorting that soon.

Can you add what Aff they are in as well please? It's nice to know who you might be poaching from wink.gif (I wouldn't of course, which is why I'd like to see their aff...)

I am happy to see that we have plenty of new players in Phoenix. Long live Phoenix! biggrin.gif

I'm afraid that the long list doesn't relate to NEW players! They were new sometime in the past yes, but some I never bothered to reply have been there for months and weren't new either in the true term of the word:)

Yes sad.gif i've been talking to the the 'new' players on my polictal report (not the online one as i know thats out of date), of the 30% that responded, 1 didn't think RIP was very them and 3 decided that they didn't want to play at all... sad.gif

Thats why i want to clear the online list so I cans see who is actually new.

Can i suggest to someone that new players get more than 300 tus, or maybe more than 60 a day for the first few weeks. It's just from what i've heard talking to players they use all their 300tus in a couple of days then don't hear anything for over a week, but which point they've got sidetracked and don't join in, or they have so few tus that they can't really do anything.

I just think that if you can keep them intressted for the first few weeks (ie to complete at least one of the training missions) then you'll probably keep them a lot longer.

Just my 2$ wink.gif

Oh, yes, that sounds a good idea, give new players more than 60TUs per day, and maybe even more than 300TUs to start with.

That's why new players are supposed to begin in the Training Grounds, an enclosed environment of three systems where they have special GM attendance and missions. See Training Grounds proposal.

Mica even created those systems (777, 888 and 999). Shame on me for not having done much on this front for the last 2 months though. I haven't forgotten the project though, promise!

Well regardless of the training systems i think the missions are working quiet well.

and to get back to the point, i still want at clear list option wink.gif

yeah well the ignore option on each trainee was implemented when i answered orginally... the surround code was not finished though so it never got to the release stage. I am finishing up that now and assuming i don't get anymore headaches then we should have something in a couple of weeks.

Thanks smile.gif
