PC Names in Amizon

[Deeg]

Hey all, I've been asked at least twice about names on the transfer list in Amizon, so figured I'd make a post about it. There was a bug where some people weren't displaying at all, but that should be fixed up now.

The name that displays there is the name that you put on your license. If you put a weird name, it's that.
You can double check this by looking at the name in the top right when you log into Amizon.

As an unrelated follow up, Amizon is as much ya'll's as mine... and you all have to deal with it far more than I do, so if anyone has a feature idea or sees a bug, let me know and I'll see what I can do. The longer before an event the better so the Amizon Rep can make fewer trips into and out of town.
Though be warned "features" that revolve around me giving you lots of credits or making all the prices zero if you have this header will probably be ignored and the suggester may be trouted and/or comet cursor-ed.

I think that a short transaction history would be great. So we can see who we transferred things to and who transferred things to us, so that we can make sure that everyone gets paid appropriately for the mods they go on.

Don't trout me

Fantastic suggestion! No trouting necessary! That one is actually on my ToDo list so I hope to have that in place before the next event.

Being able to delete terminal data would be handy.

And as a longer term goal, being able to hack other people's stored terminal data would be epic (Possibly with the difficulty based on what level of computer usage you and the target have, if any). not that I'd ever condone such a thing of course..

This is a thing now! Logging into Amizon, there's a link in the top right "Activity Feed". This shows a list of all your recent transactions.

Additional new things based on PC suggestions!
-Crafted items now show their description in your inventory
-Message page in Amizon. This can be used to send a message to Monster Camp either for general reasons or to use a special skill
-Purchase page in Amizon has been re-layed out and filtering has been added to more easily find things

Can the message function be used to send a message to an NPC we know and know the location of?

I'll discuss it with the other staff members later, but my preliminary answer is that you can attempt to do so. Given the nature of events, it's possible that you won't receive an answer for a few days but we would feasibly reply eventually.

For clarity on the actual functionality, all it does is send an email to staff with a certain email subject line. Main benefits is that we'll have a written copy of exactly what you said which works a lot better than us going "ohhhh right... somebody asked me about something while I was out.... but who... and what..."

I'm sure delayed responses are OK. I imagine the use of this to be something along the lines of sending love lett...fan mail to DJ Slapchop or to send secret take over the world messages by Blackstone operatives. Stuff that someone doesn't want to post in the IC forums and might send via PM where the recipient would just have to message the rest of staff about anyways.
