The Mail system is used for direct contact between players,
here is where you do all your plotting & scheming ;)

mails can be sent to NG's, individuals & groups of individuals such as teams or even all game players

The mail system is your main method of communication in game, when you see your mail tab in the lobby or in game Flashing, this means you have mail.

to check mail, simply click on the flashing tab.

To send mails, simply click on the mail tab in the lobby or in game which brings up the "mail box", then go to new message
from the Mail box, you can check received & sent mails at anytime.
Once you have opened a mail sent to you, you can respond in several ways: clicking on the reply tab will reply only to the sender.
If the mail has several players named in the to: & CC: fields, reply to all tab will reply to all players listed(hint: remove your name if you don't wish to receive a copy of your answer which is kept in sent mail at any rate.)

Note: When you send a mail based on an NG post, you have a drop down list of NGs you can post to, select whichever is relevant.
Please note: anytime you reply to an NG post, the relevant NG is defaulted in the newsgroup section, if you don't want it to go there, you must deselect it.
Below this is the to: field, the CC field & the BCC field.
Placing a name into any of these fields sends a "mail" to that player(as opposed to a public post)
for instance, say I am replying to an NG post but I want to make sure several players see the message,(not everyone reads the NG's)
I write the player alias of the person I want to have see this post in the to: field.
Another person can be put in the CC field or just added to the To: field like any normal email you might send.
I also want to notify another player of this post but I don't want anyone to see that I have included him, so I place his name in the BCC: field (BCC = Blind CC)
Lastly, in team games, I can place the word team in the to field & the message will be sent to all players on my "Team", all other names must be placed in the CC field otherwise this will not work.

Mails are not open to moderators, but again, sending mails that break the CoC is to be avoided as players receiving such mails have every right to complain & show these mails to Admin.

Some Email Guidlines: Please QO, (Quote original) This places the mail you are responding to below your text so others can understand the context of your message, obviously if your starting a new "mail" there is no QO :)

Moderators: there is 1 official Moderator that cruizes the NG's, you may know him as Rishib.
He is here to make sure behaviour in the NG's is kept at a respectable level, CoC offences such as swearing will not be tolerated & can lead to gagging & or cancellation of account for continued breaches.
They will also ask that off topic subjects be moved to more relavant NG's etc.
If you feel someone is overstepping the mark in mails to you, Rishib is the Player/Admin you need to mail with your concerns.
