HELPING NEW PLAYERS
A NOTE ABOUT FEDTERM
If a player is using FedTerm - or if you have persuaded her to switch to using it - you should explain about the character pictures. Tell her that the funny interference pattern above the score panel is where a picture of her character can be displayed. Explain that she can find out how to make her own picture at http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/fedterm/pictures.html.
You also need to explain how other players' pictures will be displayed if she examines or spynet reports them. FedTerm comes with pictures of Bella, Hazed, Freya, Buddy and Fancy, so tell the newbod to do a spynet report on one of them. If you have put a character picture in the FedTerm gallery, point the player to it and explain how to download it. (http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/fedterm/gallery/index.html.) And if you haven't - why not?
FedTerm's character pictures are something unusual and exciting so don't forget to mention them.
