YOU MUST MAKE A COMMENT TO THIS POST EACH TIME A PARTICIPATING CHARACTER/GROUP GOES THROUGH A PORTAL DOOR. READ UNDER THE CUT FOR NEEDED INFORMATION.

In order to keep things as organized as possible, we're asking that all event participants use this system WITHOUT EXCEPTION. If it ends up not working or if NPC mods/players would prefer tweaking the details, we'll work it out as we go through the night.

( IMPORTANT. ALL PARTICIPATING PLAYERS MUST READ. )

Thanks so much for all your patience, players, and a million thank yous to the NPC Mods for committing to such an arduous task. ♥♥♥

ALSO, NEW PLAYERS! We know this is all super crazy and insane, especially for your first night, so please don't hesitate to ask us any questions over at the event post or through other means of contact if you'd like to participate in the event: I'm jackets on Plurk, and you can also e-mail me at symbologic@gmail.com or PM me at jacket. Seriously, don't hesitate! WE WANT TO HELP.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! And for those of you tuning in for the first time, welcome to you as well. A few of your fellow players (created by Serey and currently maintained by: E, Eryn, Marie, and Sarah) are bringing yet another tool to help you guys out during Nightshift: damned_links!

For those of you who are new and don't know what damned_links is, it's just a listing of links to every location posted to Nightshift. That's right--no scrolling back to find the location you need!

A few guidelines!

-Please check BOTH the listing AND the main comm before posting a new location. We'll update the list often, but sometimes you guys are just way too fast for the links crew! So avoid duplicate locations. They confuse us and everyone else. (If we see a duplicate location, we will probably contact someone, usually the poster of whichever instance has no replies, and ask them to move their post to the other instance of that room so the duplicate can be deleted.)

Your browser's "find" function, usually accessible from CTRL-F, can help you determine whether or not a location has been posted to damned_institute yet: just do a search for the name of the location on that page.

Note: The nature of the Portals Event happening this NS means that it will probably be especially important to double-check that a location hasn't already been posted. We'll do our best to keep up!

• Check The Maps (or the more-interactive damned_maps still on LiveJournal) for the names of locations. Use ONLY those marked names AS WRITTEN. That way people will be able to find locations they need more easily, and we won't have to look at where you came from. If there is no clear name for a location, or if the name on Links is more specific than the name on the map, please use the name on Links.



• If you happen across a broken or incorrect link, comment to the list and note which one it is (and the correct link, if you're feeling generous). One of the links crew will comment back when it's been fixed.



• If duplicate links happen, they will be marked on the links page. Use the earliest one, please, unless your threadmates are already in the duplicate.



• If the list does end up going un-updated for a few days, the Archive Page for the comm works just as well for a quick overview of what's been posted and what hasn't (the first link is to November 2012; here's December's upcoming archive page). CTRL-F is helpful in that situation, too.

Any useful links posted in the Lounge (monster request, room descriptions, notification posts, special event information, etc.) will also be posted on the links page.

Good luck! ♥

(As a quick note, Marie is a new addition to the team, and there is one other new addition who I think will probably be coming on board sometime this NS. We'll add her to the list when and if it's settled. We really appreciate the help! -- E.)

I work about 9:30am to 9:30pm every friday and saturday, so I'll be on my usual slow to no posting during those days.

Since NS just started, I thought to put this up again just in case!

This goes for Albedo and Mikado.
