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, Lauren, 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.

• 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 monthly Archive Page for the comm works just as well for a quick overview of what's been posted and what hasn't. 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! ♥

[-- E., although Lauren did most of the physical linking so far! Also, My Dark Star is the song I'm abusing up in the subject line.]

THAT ONLY TOOK FOREVER.

Okay, so finals and the most demanding things of school are done, computer issues seem to be resolved for now /knocks on wood. I am good to come back! I hope too many of you haven't had your mid-life crises without me in the interim. /rubs on the game.
